This notice is a market survey being conducted solely to determine whether there are adequate Small Business contractors for the following proposed procurement. The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Region 3, has identified a need for Construction Services for a Project at the Nix Federal Building (Nix Building) located at 900 Market St., in Philadelphia, PA. The completed design will include the renovation of approximately 47K SF of historic former Post Office space on the 1st Floor and mezzanine space of the Nix Building. The Nix building was constructed in 1937 and is a masonry office building situated in the central business district of Philadelphia. It is 6 stories above grade and one story below grade. It is listed on the National Register for Historic Structures and is Art modern / Art Deco style. The building is mixed use, functioning as a courthouse, office and postal facility and houses approximately 16 tenants. The primary tenants include the US Bankruptcy Courts, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the US District Courts, and the Executive Office of Immigration Review. The last major renovation was in the mid 1990's. The building is in good operating condition with minor repair and alteration deficiencies, aside from the roof and chillers. The United States Post Office officially vacated the Nix Federal Building as of October 2017. GSA will be renovating the vacated space and backfilling it with another federal agency. GSA has engaged an Architect Engineer (A/E) to design the project and a Construction Manager as Agent (CMa) to assist the government in meeting its goals of scope, schedule, budget, and quality during the design, procurement, construction, and closeout of the requirement. The project is at the 65% design stage and the design is scheduled to be completed on March 20, 2020. Approximately 35% of the construction work will be interior construction and finishes. Nearly 60% of the work will be MEP with the vast majority of that work split between HVAC and Electrical. Historic preservation is a large component of the renovation work. The contractor will be required to have the ability to successfully coordinate all of the trade/subcontractor work and complete this project within the historic guidelines governing the work. The current estimate for the construction work (at the 65% design phase) is $16.1M. The procurement delivery method for the project is “Design, Bid, Build.” The NAICS code for the construction work is 236220 – “Commercial and Institutional Building Construction.” In response to this Sources Sought notification, please provide responsive information and concise answers to the following questions: Please limit your collective response to seven pages total.
