- ART IN ARCHITECTURE PROJECT GSA Synopsis for Artist Services Artist Services Synopsis Number: AiAsylpoePhase2 FBO Classification: 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 modernization and expansion of the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry in San Diego, California. GSA will modernize and expand the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry to better meet the needs of its tenants: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Border Patrol, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The project entails the phased reconfiguration and expansion of the existing facility to improve pedestrian and vehicular processing, increase operational efficiency, provide greater officer and public safety, decrease operational and maintenance costs, and improve the traveler's experience of crossing the border. The full build-out consists of the demolition and construction of the new port, including primary and secondary inspection areas, administration building, pedestrian building, and other supporting structures. The project is being implemented in three phases, as follows: Phase 1 - Northbound vehicle throughput with associated inspection facilities and southbound pedestrian facilities; Phase 2 - Northbound pedestrian facilities and the historic customs house; Phase 3 - Southbound Interstate-5 realignment with associated inspection facilities and employee parking structure. Phase 1 is completed and Phase 3 is underway. This announcement is specifically for Phase 2. 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 Phase 2 of the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry project is estimated at $895,000. 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 San Ysidro Land Port of Entry in San Diego, California, must have their application materials submitted and received by GSA by 12:00 PM Pacific Time on Friday, October 23, 2015. Artists' submissions received after the deadline will not be considered for this project, 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 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 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.
