- Description
- American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Action Description: The General Services Administration announces an opportunity for Construction Services for the St. Elizabeths Campus Consolidation program, Southeast Washington, D.C. GSA anticipates using funds from the FY 2010 Omnibus Appropriations Act and partial funding with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ("Recovery Act") of 2009. Accordingly, the contract will be subject to unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability so Americans know where their tax dollars are going and how they are being spent. Mechanisms through special contract terms and conditions will be implemented to accurately track, monitor and report on taxpayer funds. The Recovery Act requires extensive reporting from the prime recipients of Federal funding. This may include special Buy American Act requirements, additional requirements for contractor reporting, and expanded Government Accountability Office (GAO) and Office of Inspector General (OIG) access to contractor records. In addition to HSPD-12 Security Requirements, this project contains FAR clauses specific to projects funded under ARRA. Project Summary: The General Services Administration (GSA) hereby notifies of the intent to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in a negotiated procurement for the site infrastructure- Phase 1 Tunnels contract for the Consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the St. Elizabeths Hospital site in Anacostia, DC. The scope will include the Phase 1 tunnel / infrastructure between the Central Utility Plant, the new USCG building and several adaptive reuse buildings within the Phase 1 area. The site is approximately 176 acres and is a National Historic Landmark (NHL) site containing primarily office space and parking structures with some special buildings for conferences and food service. This project is part of the first phase in a multiphase construction project that will construct a new office and research campus for the DHS at St. Elizabeths. The site, located one mile east of DC on Martin Luther King Boulevard, is the former St. Elizabeths Hospital site in Anacostia, Washington, DC. Three phases are planned in total, with a phasing summary as follows: Phase 1 - new construction for the U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters (USCG) (1,179,500 gsf) [awarded September 2009] Adaptive reuse of historic buildings for DHS at 179,250 gsf; Phase 2 - The Center Building for DHS, Central Utility Plant and National Operations Center, a mix of new construction and adaptive reuse projects along with FEMA Headquarters at 1.7 million gsf and Phase 3 - a combination adaptive reuse and new construction for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and DHS (1,398,150 gsf).
