- Description
- The General Services Administration (GSA) hereby notifies of the intent to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction services for the Electric Cart Parking Area near the Center Building, St Elizabeths West Campus site in Anacostia, Washington DC. Project Description: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) consolidated its headquarters in the National Capital Region (NCR) at the St. Elizabeths West Campus, a 176-acre National Historic Landmark (NHL) site. NHLs are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. The NHL program is administered by the National Park Service. St. Elizabeths Hospital opened in 1855 as the first federally operated psychiatric hospital in the United States, housing over 8,000 patients at its peak in the 1950s. Buildings 1 and 2 of the Center Building were originally built in 1855. In 2014, a 280,000 square foot design-build modernization project of the Center Building was awarded. The scope included new construction for the DHS headquarters building to take place within the historic shell of the original hospital. All but the fa�ade of the building was removed. The new building structure is set within the facades to a new terra cotta roofing system. DHS personnel began moving into the Center Building in 2019. Currently, DHS is utilizing an interim location at the DHS construction trailers located on the upper Campus to park and charge the DHS electric cart fleet. The electric carts are being parked on grass while being charged utilizing electrical service from the interim trailers. The designated area on the lower campus will allow for a permanent parking and charging location for the DHS electric cart fleet. The DHS electric cart fleet consists of various models of the Global Electric Motorcars (GEM)�, manufactured by Polaris Inc. This project falls under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Proposed work to the Electric Cart Parking Area involving the Center Building and/or West Addition will require a full presentation to the Consulting Parties made by the D/B Contractor. The contractor must provide all management, supervision, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment (except as otherwise provided), and must plan, schedule, coordinate and assure effective performance of all final construction to meet General Services Administration (GSA) and client agency requirements. The GC will perform the construction in accordance with the design specifications, drawings, and the provisions and terms and conditions of the contract. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 236220 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction and the Size Standard is $39.5 million. The estimated construction cost range is between $250,000 and $500,000.
