DCF NS-LEPE Site Preparation

This design-build construction project, managed by the Department of the Treasury's Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, involves site preparation at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) Main Building, room A-400M, within the Washington DC Facility. The primary objective is to provide design, demolition, and construction services to modify structural, mechanical, electrical, and architectural elements to accommodate the future installation of a new non-sequential LEPE printing press. Key technical requirements include the engineering evaluation and reinforcement of intermediate floor slabs, the removal and relocation of an office, and the upgrading of two air handling units and steam-to-hot-water heat exchangers from constant air volume to variable air volume systems to comply with energy efficiency standards. The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238910, with an estimated magnitude between 1 million and 5 million dollars. It will be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis. Due to the sensitive nature of the location, all contractor personnel must undergo background investigations by BEP's Office Personnel Security to gain access to the Controlled Industrial Area. The contractor is required to provide a full-time experienced construction manager and utilize an independent third-party firm for all testing and inspections. All materials must be delivered in original manufacturer packaging with legible labels, and work must be conducted during standard business hours from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
