- R- Internal Consulting/Relocation Services ? U.S. Dept. of Commerce/BEA invites your company to quote on the following: Introduction The Bureau of Economic Analysis (hereinafter referred to as ABEA@), located at 1441 L Street, NW, Washington, DC is scheduled to begin its comprehensive carpet replacement and cyclical painting beginning in January, 2004. BEA occupies 140,000 net usable square feet. BEA has ten divisions and 440 employees and approximately 40 non-agency personnel. Of the 10 floors fully- or partially- occupied by BEA, approximately 81,000 square feet will be recarpeted. BEA has 2 swing space areas which can accommodate 37 and 55 persons. If needed, an additional area accommodating 15 workstations can be used for selected cycles. BEA is seeking a Contractor to handle communication, management, and coordination for and between bureau and program management, employees, and vendors. Timely project completion is paramount. Background To accomplish the recarpeting, BEA needs to move program units from their currently assigned location to swing space available within building number. Careful planning and coordination are required to schedule the moves which cannot be accomplished within two weeks of releases. It will take 4 to 6 weeks to complete a cycle. BEA has approximately 54 releases involving staff from 10 different divisions. Some divisions are being returned to their currently assigned space, others are moving to new locations which must be included in the plan. The project must be managed to accommodate the various division work and release schedule. The Contractor shall provide a Program Manager who shall coordinate set up schedule, coordinate activities between the program units, move Contractor, furniture Contractor, lessor, and Bureau management. The project should be scheduled to finish in the Fall of 2004. Project Dates Immediately through Fall 2004. Description of Work Project Management The Contractor shall manage BEA=s carpet replacement and cyclical painting project. BEA management must be consulted and kept fully informed. BEA employees must be directed through the process to lessen anxiety and maximize effectiveness of the project. Effective communication with management, program leaders, and employees will be mandatory. Develop a communication and management plan which will include substantive information on the procedure to be implemented to ensure effective and efficient management of the program. The plan will include schedules, budgets, information for distribution to all groups, coordination tasks, and other items which will ensure a successful program. Coordination of vendor activities Develop a coordination plan including schedules by working with all contractor involved, including the moving company, rental furniture contractor, building owner/building management company, and other related contractors. The coordination plan will identify all requirements for the contractors including schedules, instructions, conducting interaction between groups, and requirements for the vendors. The plan will be implemented to ensure that all contractors perform with maximum efficiency. Scope and Complexity Because scheduling and coordination are critical to success, we have provided a list of releases and a chart showing the size of the program units. These should be considered in the management, communications, and coordination plans.
