Armed Forces Retirement Home Sheridan Bldg Construction Services

The General Services Administration is procuring comprehensive general construction services for the renovation of the Sheridan Building at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, DC, a historic 387,350 square foot, eight-story facility originally built in 1962 and located within a designated National Register of Historic Places district. The project will convert the building into a modern residential facility offering 354 units for independent and assisted living, each featuring kitchenettes, ADA-compliant bathrooms, and living spaces ranging from approximately 275 to 800 square feet. Work is divided into two primary areas: Area A, the base bid covering the northern portion of the building, and Area B, an option for the southern portion, along with an option to replace the building’s generator. The renovation must adhere to strict historic preservation standards while integrating modern accessibility and residential amenities, and will be executed in phases under a full and open competition using the tradeoff method to achieve best value. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, utilities, and related services necessary to meet the technical requirements outlined across 14 construction divisions, including concrete, masonry, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems, with all work subject to prevailing wage rates under the Davis-Bacon Act and compliance with ADA and OSHA regulations. The solicitation, numbered 47PB5226R0001 and issued on June 15, 2026, with a proposal deadline of July 23, 2026, requires submission via email to designated GSA contacts and mandates a fully integrated proposal including the SF1442, cost breakdowns, technical narrative, bid bond, subcontracting plan, GSA Form 527, past performance questionnaires, and a signed PLA pricing acknowledgment. Offerors must demonstrate past experience through three substantially completed general construction projects within the last ten years, with at least one fully meeting similarity criteria, and must identify key personnel — including a Project Manager, Quality Control Manager, General Superintendent, and Health, Safety & Environmental Officer — with proven qualifications and full-time dedication to the project. The contract will be awarded based on a holistic evaluation of total evaluated price, past experience, past performance, key personnel qualifications, and management approach, with no individual weights disclosed. Performance is required to begin within one calendar day of award and complete within 655 calendar days, with a specified period of performance from February 19, 2027, to December
