Z -- DESING/CONSTRUCT HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR TO 2ND FLOOR, OPTION TO RENOVATE RESTROOMS AND TONE DOWN EXISTING ENTRANCE SOL N68925-95-R-A906 DUE 091597 POC Ms. Brenda Geist, Contract Specialist (202)682-8210 or Ms. Sharon J. Cusic, Contracting Officer, (202)685-8221 This work includes the design and construction of a new two (2) stop roped hydraulic, 25000 lbs. capacity, 125 RFM elevator, monumental staircase first and second floor lobbies, a second floor storage room, and pedestrian handicap accessible entrance to Building W-112. Two construction options are also included: They are complete renovation of the men's and women's toilet facilities (Option 1). Option 2 consists of "toning down" of the existing entrance to the second floor on the north-east side of B-112 to an emergency exit. Work on optional toilet facilities to be completed in two phases, so at least half of the facilities remain operational during the entire construction period. Restroom downtime shall be kept to a minimum with construction time per phase not to exceed 30 days. The second floor of B-112 will be used by the User on occasion for the performance of ceremonies during the construction period. These ceremonies require the use of the fire escape as a means of egress. Removal of this stair,which is required for the construction of the entrance to the building on the first floor, needs to be thoroughly coordinated with the Government and the User. Temporary egress arrangements may need to be provided to allow use of the main hall on the second floor until the new stair and elevator are operational. During ceremonies which can be expected as often as twice a month, and which last for approximately 3 to 4 hours, the contractor will not be allowed to produce noise associated with construction operations. NSW SCE understands that a portion of the second floor west end will be out of use for approximately one year. This area will be partitioned off during construction. The estimated cost range is between #250,001 and $500,000. A firm fixed price type contract is anticipated with a base phase and two optional phases. The Standard Industrial Code is 1796. The related Small Business Size Standard is $7 million. The date of issuance of the solicitation is on or about 12 AUG 97. A site visit/pre-proposalconference is anticipated on or about 30 AUG 97. Interested parties are to submit a written request for a copy of the solicitation (N68925-95-R-A906) to Ms. Brenda Geist, facsimile (202)685-8236 or it may be picked up in person from Building 166, 1st Floor, Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC.
