- Description
- The General Services Administration (GSA), Northeast and Caribbean Region is pleased to announce an opportunity for Construction Excellence for the Façade Repair and Slate Roof Replacement of the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse located at 271 Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn, NY. GSA is seeking a Construction/General Contractor to perform both PreConstruction and Construction Services for this project. The U.S. Post Office and Courthouse is an historic structure located in the Civic Center of the Borough of Brooklyn, New York. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a New York City Landmark. The 575,000 gross square foot building occupies an entire city block, fronting on Cadman Plaza, a major public space around which many federal, state and municipal buildings are organized. The building houses the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the Office of the U.S. Trustee, the U.S. Attorney and the U.S. Postal Service. Originally constructed as a Post Office and Courthouse in 1892, the building was enlarged in 1933. The earlier, four-story (plus attic) structure that occupies the southern end of the site was designed by Mifflin Bell, then Supervising Architect of the Treasury, and is Romanesque Revival in style. The exterior facades are built of granite-faced masonry bearing walls, embellished with carved ornament, dormers and turrets. The eight-story 1933 addition that occupies the balance of the site was undertaken under the direction of James Wetmore, Acting Supervising Architect of the Treasury. In designing the addition, great effort was made to emulate the appearance of the 1892 structure. While many architectural details are shared by both structures, the 1933 structure incorporated the use of terra cotta cladding secured directly to masonry walls with ferrous anchors, in lieu of granite, above the first floor. Above this level, the use of granite was limited to the stonework surrounding the second floor windows. This project will involve the replacement of nearly all the deteriorated terra cotta cladding on the facades of the 1933 structure with new terra cotta or approved alternate materials, restoration of all existing granite cladding on both buildings, and replacement of the entire slate mansard roofing system on both structures. The entire complex will remain fully occupied throughout the construction period. The design will follow the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings and Historic Building Preservation Plan (HBPP) guidance, respecting the historic character of the building while accomplishing the project requirements to correct the deficiencies in the exterior envelope of the building and to preclude further façade deterioration and damage to the structure and the recently renovated historic interior. Through the Construction Excellence program, GSA will employ the best practices that will result in the best project for the best value; procure the highest quality construction services as early as practical; and establish reliable budgets and the ability to manage them. The scope of services for this project will include providing design phase consultations evaluating costs, schedule, alternative design implications, building systems, construction materials and constructability. Optional services will include construction of the project. The Scope of Work for the Construction Services Option will include, but may not necessarily be limited to, the following work items: • Replacement of nearly all of the existing deteriorated terra cotta cladding with new terra cotta or approved alternate materials and new non-ferrous supports and anchorage devices on the facades, dormers and light well of the 1933 structure. • Retention, repair, restoration, re-pointing and cleaning of existing terra cotta at window surrounds on the facades, dormers and light well of the 1933 structure wherever possible. • Repair, restoration, cleaning, and re-pointing o NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (17-APR-2007).
