Water has been leaking into the occupied space and the roof is close to the end of its service life. The roofs to the south and west are sloped towards the building. Gutters were constructed to collect the water, but we suspect that the standard flashing details were not designed to account for the reverse slope of the roof. The west roof has wide flashing caps which may direct water towards the interior of the building. The scope of this project is limited to redesign, remove and replace the existing standing seem metal and membrane roofing over the main building. Work may include removing the existing skylights, gutters and flashing. Pay special attention to the locations where beams, slabs, columns, gutters and roofs overlap in the middle of the building. The roof over the inspection lanes to the south does not require replacement at this time. Additional information shall be provided during Pre-solicitation and Solicitation Phases. Design: Locate all existing roof leaks and verify with testing to confirm. Design new metal roofing and all flashing details for the main building. Retrofit structure to support roofing where existing skylights are. New TPO roofing in the two mechanical areas. Re-design ceiling and lighting for the interior spaces that will be affected by removing the skylights. Preconstruction and Inspections: Preconstruction meeting. After design drawings have been accepted by GSA, coordinate and schedule a preconstruction meeting between GSA, Contractor and CBP to review installation procedures and coordinate the demolition and installation of the new roof. Initial inspection.

Project Description & Approach The General Services Administration (GSA) intends to award a firm fixed-price, Design-Build contract for the Point Roberts LPOE Roof Replacement, located in Point Roberts, WA pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Best Value Design-Build Selection Procedures (FAR Subpart 15.3). The DB team will be selected through a best value selection process. During the development period from initial concept to final design the DB team will work in close consultation with GSA and stakeholders to ensure that all of the goals are addressed and that best value practices are utilized. GSA will provide technical documents to the interested vendors accompanying the solicitation documents. Design package shall include Scope of Work, Specifications, Roof Plans and any additional technical documents. Unique Situations/Risks The facility location, coupled with the need for continuous operation during construction, present unique challenges for the design/build teams on the project. Facility will remain fully occupied and operational during the entire project. Life safety of the tenants will be protected at all times. No adverse impact on tenant mission will be acceptable. Occupied Facility Construction The replacement of the TPO roof at the LPOE Point Roberts, WA must occur within an occupied, fully functional facility. These functions include typical office work, but also include services for the general public. This presents several challenges that will have to be addressed by the designer and/or design/build team. All work in public spaces will need to be completed during unoccupied periods. Setup, construction, and clean-up will need to occur on a daily basis.
