- The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is posting this sources sought announcement for acquisition planning. All qualified concerns may submit capability statements for consideration. Capability statements received will be reviewed to determine the experience, management, and financial capability of such offerors to perform this type of work. The capability statements will be used to determine appropriate procurement strategy for maximizing competition with companies with the necessary experience and certifications to meet Sustainable SITES. This information will be used to identify potential sources that have the unique experience necessary to accomplish the project. The project involves the renovation and revitalization of the Bartholdi Park area using SITES Guidelines. The work is located at the United States Botanical Gardens (USBG) in Washington, DC. Work in this effort will include an edible garden featuring permaculture techniques and new pathways from recycled material, new concrete pavement, and area of storm water infiltration. The existing Northwest fountain will be repurposed from an ornamental feature into the lowest catchment of a series of rain garden features. A garden with plants suited for wet and dry soils will replace what was once the fountain water. A woodland walk provides a closer look at native plant material that you would find in a shadier, dense planting scheme.
