The contractor will be required to provide all management, supervision, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment (except as otherwise provided) and must plan, schedule, coordinate and assure effective performance of all design and construction work to meet GSA agency requirements. The Overall Estimated Construction Cost Range for this project is $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. Completion time is expected to be between 360 and 420 days. Solicitation for this project is anticipated 02/2007. THE PROJECT The US Courthouse was completed in 1998 and has been experiencing a series of problems related to water infiltration through the building envelope. The building is 400,000 sf and consists of 17 floors, plus a mechanical penthouse. The overall height of the building is 380 ft. Several studies as to the cause of the water infiltration have been completed and will be made available for review after a request for proposal has bee issued. The components of the project include a systematic inspection of the curtain wall for water intrusion problems, the design of a repair(s) to correct the water intrusion, the construction of the repairs, the testing of the repairs, monitoring indoor air quality, interior finish work necessary to complete the required repair work, and roofing work. The following is an outline of the project components: 1. Systematic inspection: The extent and severity of the problems are unknown since a comprehensive inspection of the entire building facades has not been performed. The contractor shall examine and disassemble (as necessary) the curtain wall system to determine the cause of the water infiltration. 2. Design of repairs: Once the source or cause of the water infiltration has been identified the contractor shall design a repair procedure. The procedure shall be submitted to GSA for review and approval prior to implementation. Any design that changes or modifies the structural load path shall be designed by a licensed professional engineer. 3. Construction of repairs: Upon approval from GSA with the proposed repair procedure the contractor shall implement and the repair. 4. Testing the repair areas: Upon completion of the repairs the curtain wall assembly shall be water tested to assure the adequacy of the repair work. 5. Monitoring Indoor Air Quality: Due to the water intrusion isolated occurrences of mold have been discovered within the building maintenance. During the contractor's course of the work the indoor air quality shall be periodically monitored to ensure the construction activities have not caused the release of any mold partials. During the investigation or construction if any mold is uncovered the contractor shall take all necessary steps to isolate the mold and perform the necessary remediation. 6. Interior finish work: Interior finish work may be required to repair interior damage resulting from the water intrusion repair work. 7. Roofing work: The GSA has surveyed the roof of the building and identified areas in need of repairs to eliminate the water intrusion problems.
