SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE New Federal Courthouse in Hartford, Connecticut The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Region 1 (New England), is conducting market research for the design of a new Federal Courthouse in Hartford, Connecticut. The design will follow the GSA Design Excellence Guidelines, the GSA Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service (P-100) 2021, the U.S. Court Design Guide 2007 with Revisions from 2016 and the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) PUB 64 Vols 1&2 (2014)_ and Vol. 3 (2017). This project is categorized as “new construction” for application of the GSA P-100. GSA contemplates soliciting competitive design fixed-priced proposals from Contractors to provide the design concept, construction documents, construction phase services, and other services necessary to complete the upcoming Statement of Work. Additional Project Information: Currently Court operations are conducted in the A.A. Ribicoff Building in Hartford, CT. The project would design and construct a new stand alone Courthouse on a new site in Hartford, CT. The courthouse would be for a full Judiciary program that includes District and Bankruptcy functions, a USMS suite and a Trial Preparatory space for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The proposed program for the courthouse includes approximately 280,000 GSF. The current estimated magnitude of construction cost is $225,000,000 to $275,000,000. The estimated project duration for design is estimated at twenty four (24) months, with construction taking thirty-six (36) months. Depending on availability of funds, GSA intends to award a Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) contract before the beginning of the design development phase. The CMc will work hand-in-hand with the Contractor in order to assess constructability of the design as well as provide input and costing throughout the design development and construction document phases.
