THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION ANNOUNCEMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT IS TO COLLECT MARKET RESEARCH DATA. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

The Government is seeking information from companies that have the capability, experience and expert knowledge to provide design-build (architectural design and engineering, construction and project management) for anticipated Building 101 Tower Modernization project described herein at the National Institute of Standards & Technology, in Gaithersburg, MD. The Government contemplates a Single Award Task Order Construction contract (SATOC) in the anticipated amount of $20M. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: A. Introduction: The NIST Gaithersburg, Maryland campus is a Research and Development (R&D) facility with 52 buildings located on a 574-acre site. Building 101 is the main administration building for the NIST Gaithersburg Campus. As the tallest structure and the most iconic building on the campus, Building 101 consists of an 11-story administrative office tower and a sprawling first floor and basement level totaling 345,785 square feet of area. Commissioned in 1965, Building 101 is one of the earliest buildings on campus, and is a Contributing Resource to the National Register of Historic Places-eligible NIST Historic District. The office tower, floors 2 through 11, houses a variety of administrative and managerial office functions, including the offices of the NIST director and associated support spaces. Like other original campus buildings, the facility is in poor physical condition. Through facility condition assessments, the condition of Building 101 Complex has been documented to be among the worst on the Gaithersburg Campus with a Facility Condition Index rating of - Poor - the lowest rating on the scale. B. Project Description: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has an urgent need to modernize the administrative office areas of Building 101 on the Gaithersburg, Maryland campus. In accordance with Department of Commerce space planning guidelines, and with the increasing need for administrative workstations, the Building 101 office tower floors 2 through 11 will be renovated and modernized. Each 9,000 gross square foot floor will be converted to a less restricted layout, intermingling closed offices and conference rooms with open work areas, collaboration spaces, and exposed filing and copy spaces. The scope for each floor will include renovations of existing toilet rooms and associated facilities, information technology/telephone distribution rooms, new HVAC distribution and controls, power and lighting upgrades, and improvements to life safety systems. The contract methodology anticipates individual task orders for pre-determined construction phases based upon fiscal year budget appropriations up to the full potential project scope. The project shall be executed in government-defined construction sequences as to allow ongoing building operations to continue with the least impact to NIST mission requirements. The contract period of performance is expected to be 60 months duration, with renovations occurring at the rate of at least one floor per year, contingent upon available funding. C.
