CMc Services for IRS Service Center Limited Scope Modernization

GSA Solicitation No. 47PJ0019R0203 CMc Services - IRS Service Center Limited Scope Modernization IRS Service Center, 1160 W 1200 Street, Ogden, UT 84404-5402 Project Description: The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Region 8 requires Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) (also known as construction manager at risk) services for the repairs, alterations, renovations, and improvements at the Department of Treasury - Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Service Center Building located at 1160 W 1200 S, Ogden, UT. GSA has determined that the proposed repair and alteration project is the best solution for GSA and IRS in order to address critical needs, reduce future maintenance, improve life safety and efficiency, and minimize repair costs. 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. In 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 security building and installed security access shelters at the drive entrances. The latest renovation in 2000 involved upgrading the Child Care Center. The 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 building also houses an American First Federal Credit Union branch, Cafeteria Services and a Child Care Center. The CMc approach will require partnering with the GSA, A-E, IRS, and other involved parties. The CMc contract will include three key phases or categories of work: Pre Construction Services, Construction Services, and Construction Management Services. The CMc delivery method will allow full collaboration between the CMc contractor and the design contractor throughout the design process. Pre Construction Services for the CMc will include the review of the IRS work item list and to help the architect/engineer (A/E), IRS and GSA prioritize these work items, and to allow the construction budget to maximize the number building improvements completed. The CMc will provide constructability reviews and cost estimating during this phase. In broad terms the Construction Services for this contract will include: general architectural construction (walls, ceilings, finishes), electrical upgrades, mechanical upgrades, fire and life safety upgrades, seismic bracing, roof replacement and paving upgrades. The details of the work items and construction scope will be defined based on the 100% construction documents, drawings and specifications. The CMc and Government will need to negotiate the scope of Construction Services to maximize the amount of repairs and modernizations that can be accomplished with the available funding. Construction Management Services during construction will be performed by the CMc contractor. This will include but not be limited to: quality control, budget and schedule management, change order review, commissioning assistance, punch list and closeout assistance. There will not be a construction manager advisor (CMa) on the project. The documents attached to this solicitation announcement should be referenced for a more detailed description of the requirements, performance objectives, work items, and scope of work. Project Duration and Schedule: GSA anticipates that the design phase will take one year, followed by a two year construction period. Fast tracking some of the work items will be encouraged, taking full advantage of having the CMc contractor on board during the early design phase. The performance of pre construction services is necessarily connected to the schedule set by the architect-engineer. The performance of construction services and construction management services has more flexibility and may be negotiated to set a schedule that maximizes the amount of repairs and modernizations within the available budget.
