- Description
- FSC Code: R499 NAICS: 711510 Description: The General Services Administration (GSA) Art in Architecture Program commissions American artists (citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents or Permanent Workers of the United States) to create publicly scaled and permanently installed artworks for federal buildings nationwide. GSA announces an opportunity for a federal art commission in conjunction with the construction of the New United States Courthouse in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Description of Project: The proposed new 262,000 square-foot United States Courthouse will be constructed on the site at corner of N. 6th and Reily Streets which is bounded by Reily Street, N. 7th Street, Harris Street and N. 6th Street. The 6 to 8 story building will include the United States District, Magistrate, and Bankruptcy Courts, the United States District and Bankruptcy Court Clerks, United States Probation, United States Marshals Service, United States Attorneys, United States Trustees, Federal Public Defender and the GSA. The space will include four (4) District Courtrooms, two (2) Magistrate Courtrooms, one(1) Bankruptcy Courtroom and associated supporting spaces, such as judge's chambers, jury deliberation facilities, jury assembly, and grand jury suites, holding cells, etc. Office space will be provided for the U.S. agencies noted previously. The project will include approximately 43 interior secure parking spaces. The building will apply for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification. GSA allocates one-half of one percent of the estimated construction costs of new or modernized federal buildings for art commissions. The art budget for the new Courthouse project in Harrisburg currently estimated to be $590,000.00. One or more artists will be awarded a fixed-price contract for a commission. Artists who wish to be considered for this and all future GSA art commissions must submit application materials to GSA's National Artists Registry (Registry). The Registry constitutes the qualified list of artists for this and all GSA commissions. Instructions on how to join the Registry are available on the following Web site: www.gsa.gov/artinarchitecture All artists who wish to be considered as candidates for a commission at the U.S. Courthouse in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, must have their application materials submitted and received to the Registry by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on May 27, 2011. Artists' submissions received after the deadline will not be considered for the U.S. Courthouse in Harrisburg, but will be eligible for consideration on future GSA commissions alongside the other artists on the Registry. Artists already on the Registry need not resubmit, but may elect to update their information prior to the deadline. GSA evaluates artists based on the following technical criteria: the media, materials, content, style, and scope of the artist's past work, along with the artist's past performance and experience with commissions or projects similar to the one described in this synopsis. Short-listed artists will be contacted and asked to submit additional information including a statement that he or she can perform the work associated with the GSA commission within the identified budget. GSA will count the combined weight of all the technical selection criteria as significantly more important than price. At a minimum, the scope of services for this commission will require: collaboration with the lead designer selected for the building project; development of preliminary and final concepts; fabrication of the artwork; participation in meetings and conservation reviews as necessary; and the installation of the artwork at the project site.
