The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has on ongoing requirement to continue providing interior design and space planning services for the New Headquarters offices located in Washington, DC. The EPA's new Headquarters Project began in 1994 to obtain interior design services, including floor plan design & furniture layout, construction monitoring, furniture selection, and technical coordination of the consolidation effort. This requirement is a follow-on procurement to EPA Contract No. 68-W-98-222 with Gruzen- Samton , 304 Park Avenue, South, New York, NY 10010. The EPA is currently soliciting proposals for the planning and interior design of new offices required for the consolidation of the EPA Headquarter's buildings. This phase of the procurement consists of the design of approximately 403,000 square feet, located in the Federal Office Building component of the Federal Triangle Complex ( Interstate Commerce Commission Building, U.S. Customs Building, the Ariel Rios Federal Office Building and connecting wings). The building spaces are comprised of offices, office support areas (file rooms and copy rooms), computer rooms, libraries, and conference rooms. The contractor shall provide planning and design services through the design intent phase, as well as review of construction documents, which will be prepared by the project developers.
