The Bureau of Reclamation is interested in locating an Architect/Engineer consultant (Consultant) to revise and update existing architectural and engineering drawings and technical specifications for a formerly proposed office addition to an existing Lower Colorado Regional Office Complex building. The Administration Building and Administration Annex Building (Annex) were constructed in 1931 as part of the Boulder Canyon Project. The buildings served as the field office and dormitory for visiting dignitaries, engineers, contract administrators, and construction management personnel who were directing the construction of Hoover Dam. Both buildings have undergone continuous remodeling since 1931. In 1947, additional offices were added to the second floor of the Administration Building. In 1963, a center office section and additions were added to the Administration Annex building. This construction was the only major exterior change to the buildings in the past sixty years. Both buildings are contributingelements to the Boulder City Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1983. In 1989, plans were begun on a major interior renovation of both buildings. All proposed changes were submitted to the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) and a finding to no adverse impact was received on May 14, 1992. On July 14, 1992, bids were opened on a contract for a complete renovation of the existing buildings. Renovation of both existing buildings was complete in the fall of 1994. The Administration Building is approximately 17,300 gross square feet; the Administration Annex building is approximately 12,780 gross square feet.
