- ART IN ARCHITECTURE PROJECT GSA Synopsis for Artist Services Artist Services Synopsis Number: GS-02P-09-DT-C-0026 FBO Classification: R499 NAICS: 711510 Description: This Art in Architecture opportunity is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and is subject to ARRA reporting requirements. The General Services Administration (GSA) Art in Architecture Program commissions American artists ( citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents or Permanent Workers of the United States ) to create publicly scaled and permanently installed artworks for federal buildings nationwide. GSA announces an opportunity for a federal art commission in conjunction with the new construction of a federal office building in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The new federal facility comprises an office building for the San Juan FBI field office and a childcare center. The new federal office building will be approximately 240,000 gross square feet and five stories in height. The childcare center will be approximately 14,500 gross square feet and one story in height. The project site is on an existing 27 acre federal campus located in the Hato Rey area of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The site is bordered by Chardon Avenue on the Northern side and it is bounded by privately developed high-rise residential buildings on the East side. To the South and West, the site is bounded by low-rise mixed-use property. This new construction project is to incorporate specific energy and water conservation goals with exceptional integration of architectural form and optimized building systems. In addition, utilization of available on-site renewable energy - solar, wind, geothermal and water as practically feasible. GSA generally allocates one-half of one percent of the estimated construction costs for new or modernized federal buildings for art commissions. The art budget for the new project is currently estimated to be $584,062. One or more artists will be awarded a fixed-price contract for a commission. Artists who wish to be considered for this and all future GSA art commissions must submit application materials to GSA's National Artists Registry (Registry). The Registry constitutes the qualified list of artists for this and all GSA commissions. Instructions on how to join the Registry are available on the following website: www.gsa.gov/artinarchitecture All artists who wish to be considered as candidates for a commission at the new federal office building in San Juan, Puerto Rico must have their application materials submitted and received by GSA by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on June 22, 2010. Please access the website above to obtain information on where to submit application materials Artists' submissions received after the deadline will not be considered for this project, but will be eligible for consideration on future GSA commissions alongside the other artists on the Registry. Artists already on the Registry need not resubmit, but may elect to update their information prior to the deadline. GSA evaluates artists based on the following criteria: media, materials, content, style and scope of the artist's past work along with the artist's past performance and experience with commissions or projects similar to the one described in this synopsis. Short-listed artists will be contacted and asked to submit additional information including a price proposal for the contemplated project. GSA has determined that the combined weight of all the technical selection criteria is significantly more important than price. At a minimum, the scope of services for this commission will require: collaboration with the lead designer selected for the building project; development of preliminary and final concepts; participation in meetings and conservation reviews as necessary.
