R -- RENOVATION OF BUILDING 37, NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE, NIH, BETHESDA, MD SOL 263-96-P(CP)-0237 DUE 071996 POC Olga D'Onofrio, Contracting Officer, (301) 402-2163. SOLICITATION NOTICE FOR THE RENOVATION OF BUILDING 37, NCI, NIH, BETHESDA, MD. The National Institutes of Health (''NIH'') is seeking a Development Manager (''DM'') for the renovation of Building 37, a laboratory research facility on its campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Building 37, a seven-floor facility of approximately 262,000 gross square feet provides the National Cancer Institute laboratory and office space. Construction of this building began in 1965 and was completed in 1968. Its utility infrastructure systems are at the end of their useful lives with dynamic systems (fans, pumps, etc.) having failed or failing. Their capacity is inadequate throughout the facility due to overcrowding that has been brought about by new thrusts in research coupled with the proliferation of scientific and electronic equipment for research. The renovation of Building 37 involves: (1) bringing the deteriorating dynamic systems of the existing infrastructure to their original (1965) specifications as a safety and essential maintenance measure, (2) renovating six floors of laboratory and support space to support modern research initiatives (approximately 207,000 square feet), (3) removing all asbestos containing and hazardous material, (4) taking measures to correct air-intake problems in the loading dock area, (5) incorporating current life safety codes and the latest NIH guidelines in design, (6) increasing the building's efficiency, and (7) providing measures to correct air-infiltration and variant temperature radiation transmitted through windows. The estimated cost of renovation is approximately $55 million. The period of performance is seven years. The DM will be expected to provide full development services for the renovation, including: (a) developing phasing/options for the project, (b) procuring the planning, design, construction, and other services necessary for completion of the project, and (c) providing project management services throughout the planning, design, construction, activation, and occupancy phases of the renovation process. The DM should not joint venture with an architectural/engineering firm, a construction management firm, or a laboratory design specialist at this time. NIH intends the DM to select the design consultants and construction manager after consulting with the selected DM. The DM must have demonstrated experience in providing full development services for projects of equal size, complexity, and type of client with a high degree of customer satisfaction. In addition, the DM must be experienced in interacting positively with communities. The price will be a substantial factor in the award decision, but technical merit will be significantly more important than price. The official Request for Proposal (RFP) will be available on or about June 19, 1996 from the Contracting Officer - Ms. Olga D'Onofrio, (301) 402-2163, 9000 Rockville Pike, Building 13, Room G-800, Bethesda, Maryland 20892. All parties interested in receiving the official RFP should submit a letter of interest on company letterhead. Requests for the RFP must cite the RFP No. 263-96-P(CP)-0237. Telephone requests will not be accepted. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. (0152)
