It will be the contractor's responsibility to provide all the management, supervision, manpower, equipment and supplies necessary for completing the pre-construction, demolition, and construction phases of this work. The General Services Administration (GSA), Great Lakes Region (Region 5), is conducting market research and is seeking sources for Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) services, including Design Phase services and Construction Phase services. Design Phase services will be awarded on a Firm-Fixed Price basis. Construction Phase services will be awarded with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). A CMc is defined as a firm engaged to provide design review, cost estimating, scheduling and general construction services. The requirement for this opportunity includes restacking the IRS within the building and renovating their current space, as well as renovating building vacant space for incoming tenants. The project will be renovating only interior customer spaces and will not provide improvements to any public spaces that would be unrelated to the primary tenant needs (such as core building restrooms renovation, lobby improvements, elevator modernization, parking garage improvements, landscaping, and exterior improvement). IRS currently occupies 165,000 USF within the Peck and 65,000 USF in leased space. IRS needs to consolidate space, and plan to do so by completely eliminating the 65,000 USF of leased space and reconfiguring space within the Peck to implement new workplace strategies. They have requested a final total of approximately 115,000 USF of space in the Peck Building to accommodate this move and restacking effort. GSA proposes that 4 other agencies move leases into the Peck building with the following approximated space requirements: DOE at 75,000 sq ft, US Trustees at 4,200 sq ft, SSA ODAR at 21,000 sq ft, and OSHA at 6,500 sq ft. This project will aim to achieve LEED-CI Gold and is currently registered under LEED Version 2009. The NAICS code for this procurement is 236220. The estimated construction cost is between $25,000,000 and $35,000,000.
