911 Fed Bldg Structural Systems, ABAAS Upgrades & NOAA TI Space Build-Out

12/15/2020 - Phase 2 Shortlist: The shortlisted firms invited to participate in Phase 2 are as follows: Howard S. Wright 1455 NW Irving Street, Ste 400 Portland, OR 97209 Lydig Construction, Inc. 11001 E. Montgomery Dr. Spokane Valley, WA 99206 Truebeck Construction 3720 N Vancouver Ave, Ste 300 Portland, OR 97227 Small businesses interested in potential subcontracting opportunities should reach out directly to the shortlisted firms listed above. 11/2/2020 - Notice to all interested vendors: For awareness, the 911 Fed Bldg Electrical Upgrade project was awarded in June 2020 to Twin City Electricians, a woman-owned, small business out of Clarkston, WA for $7,285,076. This electrical upgrade project was originally contemplated to be included as a companion project to the 911 Fed Bldg Seismic -NOAA Upgrade, but GSA decided to separate it since the electrical scope @ ~$7.3M was considered too significant in project risk to add to the Seismic-NOAA TI project. The scope summary for this project concerns the electrical switchgear and distribution system which are from the original construction and are outdated and non-compliant with current codes and standards. This project includes: replacing all medium and low-voltage switchgear, switchboards, and panel boards throughout the building; replacing the motor control centers and replacing the emergency generator. Although separate and distinct, the electrical upgrade project is currently in the design phase and will need to be taken into account during design and construction of the Seismic-NOAA TI project since there are many instances where both projects will intersect during design and construction. End notice. 911 Fed Bldg Structural Systems, ABAAS Upgrades & NOAA TI Space Build-Out Design Build, EQ10PCP-20-0010 The 911 Federal Building, 911 NE 11th, Portland, Oregon was constructed in 1953 by the Lloyd Corporation and leased by GSA until 1959 when the government purchased the building. The 8- story Federal Building is adjacent to and shares common areas with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Building. The proposed project is being acquired as a Design-Build (DB) project. The seismic and non-seismic structural upgrades shall meet current codes and standards, further ensuring the facility's operational status for decades to come. Related to the structural systems upgrades, the facility, particularly where impacted by the limited scope structural upgrades portion of the project, shall be updated to ABAAS compliance in accordance with GSA policies and directives relative to Capital-funded Repair and Alteration (R&A) projects. The NOAA TI Space Build-out project renovates a significant portion of the 2nd floor's overall space to meet NOAA Fisheries Western Region headquarters requirements, in an initiative to relocate the Fisheries Regional office and functions from a nearby leased location into the Federal Building. Tenants: ? U.S. Congress - House of Representatives and Senate ? Department of Interior- Bureau of Indian Affairs ? Bureau of Reclamation - Fish and Wildlife Service ? Department of Labor - Health Safety Administration ? General Services Administration - Public Buildings Service ? Department of Homeland Security - U.S. Coast Guard ? Department of Energy - Bonneville Power Administration (although BPA is housed in the neighboring building, 905, they share a common linking space with 911. Project Summary: The design build contractor shall provide a fully functional design and construction effort to upgrade the structural - seismic and non- seismic structural systems (e.g. architectural; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, data & communications; fire & life safety; conveyance; etc.) - throughout the facility, while maintaining the fully occupied and operational status to tenants (occupants) during normal business hours in support of normal business and facility operations. This is of critical importance given the expectation that the project occur within a fully occupied and functional federal office building. Related to the structural systems upgrades, the facility, particularly where impacted by the limited scope structural upgrades portion of the project, shall be updated to ABAAS compliance in accordance with GSA policies and directives relative to Capital-funded Repair and Alteration (R&A) projects. The NOAA TI Space Build-out project renovates a significant portion of the 2nd floor's overall space to meet NOAA Fisheries Western Region headquarters requirements, in an initiative to relocate the Fisheries Regional office and functions from a nearby leased location into the Federal Building. This move also involves relocation for a member of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Earl Blumenauer's, office space from its existing location that is currently located on the 2nd floor. An additional project requirement is to build-out space for the Congressman's functions in currently vacant space on the 2nd floor's east side. Relocating the Congressional office space from its existing location (2nd floor mid-floor plate) to the 2nd floor east side, prior to upgrading their existing space for seismic & non- seismic structural compliance, will minimize downtime and negative impact to their functionality from the seismic upgrade construction that is envisioned to occur in/near their existing space. Project Goals: ? Comply with all project requirements, including (but not limited to) GSA PBS P-100 standards (baseline, unless noted otherwise). ? Substantial Completion Date for the NOAA TI Space Build-out no later than 15-Oct-2022, in order for NOAA to vacate their existing space before existing lease expiration. ? Upgrade the facility's seismic and non-seismic structural systems. ? Minimize impact to tenants and public users. ? Maintain an adequate, code compliant number and proper configuration of access and egress pathways throughout the facility, including within tenant spaces, during and after construction. ? Maintain/upgrade the facility features impacted by project work to be ABAAS compliant. ? The integrated design and construction phasing of these (2) offices are critical to the successful completion of this overall project. There are no feasible alternatives to the project. This is a limited scope renovation and the cost of the proposed project is far less than the cost of constructing a new facility. The design-build scope of work includes all labor and materials required to provide design, engineering, construction and other related services necessary for successful completion of this project. Options are provided for information purposes only. During subsequent phases of the contract, the Contractor shall examine and/or verify the information provided and obtain additional information necessary to complete the design and construction of the project. The Design Build contractor remains solely responsible and liable for design deficiency and should not depend upon reports, drawings or information provided by the Government as part of the contract documents. GSA envisions a highly collaborative design build delivery approach for this project. The expectation is that the DB contractor will work closely with all the stakeholders to deliver a project that meets the expectations and needs of all stakeholders and GSA's requirements for a high performing building. Solicitation and Contract: (1) This procurement is being conducted using the two phase selection process found in FAR 36.3.
