This is not a solicitation or a request for proposal and no contract will be awarded from this notice. No solicitation or specifications are available at this time. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), New England Region, Acquisition Management Division, is conducting market research to determine if any Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), or 8(a) Small Business concerns have the current relevant qualifications, experience, personnel, and capability to perform the work described herein. The Thomas Phillip O’Neill Federal Building in Boston, MA, was constructed in 1985 with over 850,000 square feet of office and support floor area. The hydronic piping systems that provide heating and cooling throughout the building have extensive exterior corrosion from the accumulation and trapping of condensation within the insulation and are at risk of failure. This project systematically replaces aging hydronic piping on the North elevation (Phase 3). This project will provide for a complete replacement of all risers, valves, main and branch piping lines, shut-offs, insulation, fire stopping and all other accessories. Work will be performed both on and off hours during the non-heating season. The tenant agencies will have a say on when work can be performed in their space. Daytime work is in an occupied office building setting. Work includes, but is not limited to, the opening of gypsum wallboard (GWB) columns to access the risers, acoustical ceiling work to access the branch piping, moving of furniture, protecting existing building finishes and furnishings, patching/painting of GWB, and reinstallation of acoustical ceiling systems. The anticipated period of performance of this construction contract is 9 months from the date of Notice to Proceed. However, work may be suspended during the heating season. All qualified Small Businesses are encouraged to respond. The Government will not pay for any information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. One of the main purposes of this Sources Sought Notice is to assist the Contracting Officer in determining if a Set-Aside is an acceptable strategy for the procurement. The Government anticipates a contract award for these services in the summer of 2020. The appropriate NAICS Code is 238220 with a small business size standard of $16.5M dollars.
