Carl B. Stokes U.S. Courthouse Plaza Replacement Design Build Services

The General Services Administration’s PBS R5 Acquisition Management Division has awarded a design-build contract for the replacement of the plaza at the Carl B. Stokes U.S. Courthouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The project falls under NAICS code 236220, indicating it involves commercial and institutional building construction, and is being managed through the Chicago-based office with a performance location finalized at 44113 in Cleveland. The solicitation number is 47PB5226C0009, and the award notice was posted on April 28, 2026, with no set-aside provisions applied, meaning the contract is open to all eligible contractors regardless of business size or classification. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Timothy Novak, reachable via phone or email, with Gregory Oprian serving as the secondary contact for additional support. The contract requires full design-build services, meaning the selected contractor will be responsible for both the architectural and engineering design as well as the physical construction of the new plaza, ensuring seamless integration of aesthetics, functionality, and compliance with federal standards. The scope will likely include demolition of the existing plaza infrastructure, site preparation, hardscaping, drainage, lighting, accessibility features compliant with ADA requirements, and integration with surrounding courthouse elements. All work must meet federal building codes and security specifications, given the property’s status as a U.S. courthouse facility. The project is located in an active federal compound, requiring coordination with agency operations and adherence to strict safety and scheduling protocols during execution.
