General Information The Seattle U.S. Courthouse is located at 700 Stewart Street Seattle, WA 98101. Scope Summary For several years the Seattle US Courthouse (USCH) has been plagued with various leaks and short term fixes. In 2014 and 15 minor stop gap repairs were made, weep hole extensions were installed as one of the more economical solutions to correct deficiencies identified in the 2014 report. In 2018 the skylights were re-caulked again, but the leaks have persisted and traveled by location. These leaks seem to appear only with high winds, and not with a deluge of straight down rain. As the water intrusion seemed to becoming progressively worse, a roofing contractor was hired to conduct further investigations. The roofing contractor believed that the membrane was leaking and not the curbs, and recommended destructive testing. On February 27 and March 1, 2019 representatives from ECH (Architecture), Wetherholt (Building Envelope Consultant), and Pacific Rainier Roofing (Sheet Metal/Roofing Contractor) conducted preliminary site visits for initial reviews and observations to confirm the curbs were not the only problem. The Scope of Work plans for the full replacement of the existing main entrance roof installed in 2004, with a new "Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) Modified Bituminous Membrane Roofing.", per the plans dated February 28, 2020 and specifications dated 28 February 2020 by ECH Architecture. Project Description & Approach The General Services Administration (GSA) intends to award a firm fixed-price, Construction contract for the Seattle U.S. Courthouse Roof Replacement pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Best Value Design-Build Selection Procedures (FAR Subpart 15.3). The Roofing team will be selected through a best value / tradeoff selection process. During the submittal period to Construction, the Roofing team will work in close consultation with GSA, the stakeholders and the CMa to ensure that all of the goals are addressed and that best value practices are utilized. GSA will provide a 100% design package to the interested vendors accompanying the solicitation documents. Design package shall include Scope of Work, 100% Specifications, and Drawings. GSA The CMa will be involved in the source selection process, post award design process and will provide construction oversight expertise, estimating, change order review, cost information, functionality and constructability reviews and ePM project data entry. There will be an informal partnering process throughout the post award submittal and construction phases to promote successful project development and execution including an enhanced project kickoff meeting. Roofing applications and Warranty will be fully inspected and functionally tested to ensure compliance with contract documents prior to being accepted by GSA. 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 main entrance roof at Seattle U.S. Courthouse in Seattle, 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.
