As part of its commitment to the socioeconomic initiatives of the Federal Government for this procurement, the U.S. General Services Administration (Mid-Atlantic Region) has established the following subcontracting goals: • 30.0% for Small Business • 5.0% for Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), • 5.0% for Small Women-Owned Business, • 3.0% for Small HUBZone Business, • 3.0% for Small Veteran-Owned Business, and • 3.0% for Small Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Continuing a legacy of outstanding public architecture, the General Services Administration (GSA) Design Excellence Program seeks to commission our nation's most talented designers and architects to modernize our federal buildings and prepare them for the next 50 to 100 years of service. These projects are to demonstrate the value of true integrated design that balances aesthetics, cost, constructability, and reliability; create environmentally responsible and superior workplaces for civilian federal employees; and give contemporary form and meaning to our democratic values. In this context, GSA announces an opportunity for Design Excellence in public architecture for performance of architectural/engineering Design in accordance with GSA quality standards and requirements. As required by law, all facilities will meet federal energy goals and security requirements. All projects will be LEED certified. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This is a space consolidation project affecting multiple tenant customers in a fully occupied building with minimal swing space. The project will occur at the William J. Green Federal Building located at 600 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA. The building is 10 stories above grade and 2 stories below. It was constructed between 1970-1973, and contains 840,280 GSF. The William J. Green Federal Building was designed in conjunction with the adjacent James A. Byrne Courthouse, and the two building complex shares common mechanical systems, and the first floor of each building is linked by a common circulation area and plaza. This project will affect all 10 tenant-occupied floors (approximately 70,000 GSF per floor) and provide tenant interior improvements as well as select building shell system upgrades in order to significantly improve utilization, free up marketable vacant space, and allow local offices to consolidate into a federally-owned facility. This project will allow for involved agencies to more efficiently occupy their space through a variety of economical workspace solutions. It will incorporate sustainable design principles, efficient space planning, innovative technologies, and contemporary interior design to transform the building into a model workplace that is responsive to the existing building architecture. GSA intends for the building to remain occupied for the duration of the design and construction project, and the AE will develop designs that help to facilitate GSA's planning of tenant relocations. This project will be a traditional design-bid-build delivery. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of professional services will require at a minimum: professional architectural, engineering, interior design, and related consulting services for concept design documents, design development documents, construction documents, specifications, cost estimates, value engineering services, computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and post-construction contract services (PCCS) for the construction of new interiors and related building systems. Space alterations include the consolidation of non-contiguous occupied and vacant space in order to allow tenants to efficiently occupy space while making existing vacant space marketable to prospective tenants. The project is also to include GSA design standards for secure facilities; conformance to the P100 (Facility Standards for Public Buildings), including LEED certification, and customer agency requirements.
