SCOPE OF SERVICES GSA is planning the consolidation of the Bureau of Reclamation Customer Agency directorates through a remodel project in the existing Building 67, located on the Denver Federal Center. The consolidation project would involve housing approximately 1,029 federal employees and contractors within 169,785 rentable square feet within Building 67. The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) is the primary tenant of Building 67, presently occupying approximately 90% of the 372,000 usable square foot office building. Building 67 was built in 1967 and is comprised of 14 floors and a penthouse. The consolidation of employees within Building 67 also includes the relocation of BOR personnel currently residing in other locations within the Denver Federal Center. The existing structure shall remain fully operational and occupied during construction. No adverse impact on tenant mission will be acceptable. Relocating employees into swing space while construction to their work area transpires will be necessary. Upgrades to the existing building will focus on improvements within the tenant spaces, with minimal work on any of the major building equipment. The design build scope of work includes all labor, materials, design, engineering, construction, commissioning, and other related services necessary to support the consolidation effort and upgrade the finishes within the tenant spaces. Data around how each directorate works, will be presented when the RFP is released which are the result of a project development study performed by GSA prior to the release of this RFP.

The project is also to include conformance to the P-100 (Facility Standards for Public Buildings) and all other applicable building codes and standards.
