- IRS SAN FRANCISCO 450 GOLDEN GATE AVE SPACE OPTIMIZATION PROJECT (February 7, 2014) Objective The purpose of this request is to secure a "Turn-Key" construction contract to support an IRS space reduction project located at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA. This project is located in two spaces on the 6th floor and 7th floor of 450 Golden Gate Avenue San Francisco, CA (totaling approximately 37,000 rentable SF). We anticipate the Contractor will: 1. Complete minor drywall demolition and construction 2. Install plumbing and related upper and lower cabinetry to a break room 3. Provide new electrical wiring, realign the ceiling grid and alter HVAC, lighting, life safety systems and sprinklers to support the new furniture configuration 4. (Option) Provide and install new voice/data cabling throughout project area to both reconfigure, existing systems furniture as well as new demountable managers' offices and Tax Compliance Officer work stations. 5. Provide new paint and carpet 6. Reconfigure, re-fabric and clean existing systems furniture (as noted below) 7. Augment the existing systems furniture with additional components (as noted below), and 8. Coordinate with a third party, GSA vendor who will be furnish and install twenty-eight demountable managers' offices and seven Tax Compliance Officer workstations. Due to the high profile nature of this project and both IRS' and GSA's emphasis on workplace transformation, reduction of space and savings to the taxpayers, it is necessary that this project be complete, and IRS moved into their newly-completed premises on or before September 30, 2014. Collaborative GSA Acquisition Approach The GSA team involves both PBS and FAS, working together to achieve a cost-effective and timely solution for the IRS with the taxpayer's and agency's budget in mind.. The San Francisco Service Center (SFSC), Regional Chief Architect staff (RCA) and Real Estate Acquisition Division (READ) will work together to complete all phases of the project on or before September 15, 2014. These phases include coordinating moves, developing requirements, providing swing space, new furniture procurement and existing furniture redesign and installation and completing improvements in the new space for IRS. It is intended that this project be as much of a "turn-key" as possible, with the exception of personnel move services which will be provided by IRS. The Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), IWAC will be responsible for procuring and installing the new twenty-eight demountable managers' offices and seven Tax Compliance Officer workstations in accordance with the design developed and schedule requirements. Region 9 is planning to use this project to help drive future space re-utilization and collaborative projects among our customers and increase cross-divisional and cross-service acquisition solutions. This project will also serve as a model for future IRS space optimization projects.
