The services will include, but will not be limited to: planning, programming, special studies, design, construction, community relations and overall coordination of all activities associated with the proposed project. The National Neuroscience research Center at the NIH will be constructed in phases with the entire Center being approximately 600,000 gross square feet (GSF). The proposed site of the Center is Building 35/36 complex. The Center will provide a collaborative environment for modern neuroscience research, with a vivarium, bio-medical research labs, office, conference facilities, interaction areas and public space. Only the DM will be selected initially under this solicitation. A key objective of this contract is to provide the facility in the shortest timeframe while maintaining quality, design excellence, operational flexibility and cost efficiency.

The DM will be expected to provide full development services for the entire project, 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, occupancy and close-out phases.
