Procuring Agency The General Services Administration (GSA), Mid-Atlantic Region 3, Public Building Services (PBS), Acquisition Management Division, intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) Services for the CMS Back on Campus Project Phase II at the CMS Campus in Woodlawn, MD. Project Synopsis The CMS campus in Woodlawn, MD occupies over 800,000 GSF of space in 4 buildings. The campus was built specifically for CMS, known at the time as the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), and opened in 1995. Since that time, the buildings for the most part have been well maintained and have served CMS well in their operations. As they are over 20 years old, however, the need for a refresh and continued modernization of the buildings and systems is becoming greater. One of the greatest changes to the planning of government office space since the building’s opening is related to the space utilization rate and footprint requirements. As cost-saving measures, federal agencies are required to reduce their footprint by consolidating and densifying the workplaces. A project such as the modernization of CMS would be required to meet these standards; in this case the standards are set by Health and Human Services. CMS has been planning for the future and this Masterplan is just one step in a longer process that has been known as Back on Campus. This initiative, begun in 2015, focused on densifying the workplace and fitting more employees on the main campus to improve collaboration. Several demonstration areas have been renovated using this revised plan. Phase 2 will consolidate growing office and workstation vacancies on the main campus. Phase 2 includes the renovation of the main lobby, office space and bathrooms.
