The General Services Administration (GSA) hereby notifies of the intent to procure for the Design/Build contract for the Repair and Alteration Project at the U.S. Courthouse in Pensacola, Florida. Issuance of this Solicitation does not warrant that funds are presently available for award of a Contract. Award of the Contract shall be subject to the availability of appropriated funds, and the Government shall incur no obligation under this Solicitation in advance of such time as funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for the purpose of Contract award. Project Summary: The District Courthouse in Pensacola is a 5-story building with a total of 69,015 usable square feet. The proposed project will include alterations to the District Courthouse that will correct the water intrusion issues in the building by replacing the building's fa'ade, installing a new standing seam metal roof system, repairing structural damage to the building caused by the water intrusion, and completely abating the presence of mold created by the water intrusion. Interior finishes throughout the building damaged by the water intrusion will also be replaced. GSA will also take the opportunity during the fa'ade repairs to install a new security blast protection system to the exterior. In addition, the renovation will address the modernization of the outdated fire safety system and the HVAC system by adding additional VAV boxes and a new BAS system to better control the interior humidity. The existing restrooms in the building will also be upgraded, including the installation of floor drains and replacement of wall finishes, and new Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABASS) compliant unisex restrooms will be installed on each floor to meet GSA's P-100 requirements. Grounds and approaches will be repaired after fa'ade demolition and replacement, parking will be repaved, and waterproofing and drainage will be installed on the site. The selection process will utilize the Best Value Tradeoff process as stipulated within the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 and the Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures in Subpart 36.3 of the FAR.
