- Description
- THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION ANNOUNCMENT. This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS only. The purpose of the Sources Sought Synopsis is to gain knowledge of potential qualified small business sources for Design Excellence in public engineering for performance of Architectural-Engineering Design for replacement of Electrical and Mechanical components, the replacement of the existing fire alarm system, elevator modernization and upgrade the handicap accessibility at the Hale Boggs Federal Building in New Orleans, LA. NAICS Code is 541310, $4 million. The design must comply with General Services Administration (GSA) quality standards and requirements. The facility is approximately 705,347 gross square feet. It is composed of two structures located on a city block bounded by Poydras and Lafayette Streets on the north and south and Magazine and Camp Streets on the east and west. The Courthouse is a six-story structure and the Federal Building is a fourteen story structure. Both structures share a common basement that encompasses the outer limits of each. The Estimated Construction Cost range is between $15 to $25 million. The facility was designed by Mathes, Bergman and Associates, Inc. in association with August Perez and Associates, Inc. and was completed with substantial occupancy in early 1976. The unique aspects of the architecture of this period should be considered. The scope of work will require at a minimum: construction drawings, specifications, cost estimates, value engineering services, computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and post construction contract services (PCCS). Included in the design is the refurbishing of the main electrical equipment, which includes the switch gear and the motor control centers (MCC), and replacement of two transformers on each floor. The design shall also include the replacement 56 Air Handling Units (AHUs), the conversion of five floors with multi zone air distribution systems with variable air volume air distribution systems, the modernization of all elevators, replacement of the fire alarm system with a completely new fire alarm system, and upgrading the facility handicap accessibility features to meet current code requirements. The design shall include sustainable features. The design shall also include the GSA design standards for secure facilities. The building will be completely occupied during the construction phase. Therefore the design shall be phased so that the tenants can complete their mission without interruption. In developing the project team, the A/E Firms are advised that at least 35% of the level of contract effort must be performed in the New Orleans, LA area. The government will not allow payment for travel, living expense, computer time or hookups for the prime or the consultants. A Licensed Fire Protection Engineer is required to perform the design for the Fire Alarm System. A/E firms must have performed on similar projects within the past ten years, and completed three projects, which were multi-story buildings (minimum of 4 stories), with a total construction cost exceeding $5 million. The design work for the projects shall have scopes which clearly demonstrate competence in engineering design for office spaces, and mechanical, electrical, elevator, and fire safety and architectural design for handicap accessibility similar in scope to that identified for the Hale Boggs Federal Building. Interested parties who meet the above requirements are requested to submit a one-page letter of interest to Pam Lackey, Contracting Officer, no later than April 15, 2003. Letters can be submitted via email to pam.lackey@gsa.gov or by facsimile to (817) 978-7194.
