Project Background: This Statement of Work is for architectural and engineering (A/E) services for the existing General Services Administration (GSA) owned, single-story Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Service Center building. The project site is approximately 60 acres and is located at 1160 N 1200 W Ogden, UT 84404. The building was originally constructed in 1965-1966. It consisted of the South Building, including all areas south of the Central Atrium and the Administrative Area. During 1968-1969, the North Building was constructed along with the Mechanical Room extensions and the enclosed south dock and warehouse spaces. The following year the Health Center was completed. The area known as - Caf West and the exterior playground area were built in 1989-1990. The main entrance at Door - A and the - Public Access entrance at Door - K were added in 1992-1993. In 1994-1995, changes were made which extended the perimeter fence, added the north dock and mechanical room, constructed the west visitor's security building and installed security access shelters at the drive entrances. The latest renovation in 2000 involved upgrading the Child Care Center. The IRS Main Building and property is not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The IRS Service Center is one of three mission critical facilities for the IRS and is operational twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The agency's short term plans are to consolidate another division of approximately 1,700 people into the building. The building also houses an American Federal Credit Union branch, Cafeteria Services and a GSA Child Care Center. GSA has determined that the proposed repair and alteration project is the best solution that will: address critical needs, reduce future maintenance, improve life safety and efficiency, and minimize repair costs. Building deficiencies within this complex, as identified in the original feasibility study, currently exceed the funding allowed for this project. Reviewing the IRS's work item list and helping the IRS and GSA prioritize that list will be a critical part of the design A/E's pre-design services. A detailed list of the work items can be found in the feasibility study. Scope of Work: The scope of professional services will require at a minimum: professional architectural, engineering, pre-design program verification, concept design documents, design development documents, construction documents, specifications, cost estimates, value engineering services, computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and post-construction contract services for the interior and exterior construction. The project will also include GSA design standards for secure facilities, conformance to the P100 (Facility Standards for Public Buildings), BIM Guides 02, 07, and 08, and customer agency requirements. The Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) delivery method will be used to contract the construction of this project and will allow full collaboration between the design contractor and the CMc contractor throughout the design process. The design contractor shall engage with the CMc early on in design, seeking their input on constructability, cost and phasing issues. Selection Process: This synopsis is a request for qualifications (RFQ) of A/E firms interested in contracting for this work.
