Definition of Similar has been amended 2. Go / No Go Criteria has been amended 3. Factor 1 has been amended Questions are due no Later than 3:00 M.S..T on October 27, 2021, and proposals due no later than 3:00 P.M. M.S.T. November 3, 2021. NAICS: The NAICS code for this procurement includes 541310 -Architectural Services; and/or 541330 -Engineering Services Set-Aside: The Government does not intend to set-aside the requirement for small business concerns. Contract Type: The base contract for design services is anticipated to be awarded at a firm-fixed price. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, Region 8, Rocky Mountain Region is seeking highly qualified Architectural/Engineering (A/E) firms interested in participating in an opportunity for A/E Design Services to design a new facility which incorporates a refrigerated storage, laboratory/processing space, and support areas for the National Science Foundation (NSF) to store and process ice cores from the NSF Arctic and Antarctic study programs on the Denver Federal Center (DFC) grounds located in Lakewood, CO for the National Science Foundation. The project site occupies approximately 20,000 SF and is located within Building 810 (CO0624) at the Denver Federal Center near the intersection of 8th St and Main Ave. The NSF Ice Core Facility (ICF) will be located northwest of the main entrance in the warehouse area directly north of the existing ICF. The Denver Federal Center (DFC) is located on the former Denver Ordnance Plant in Lakewood Colorado, and includes 44 Federal buildings of office, warehouse, lab and special use space totaling four million square feet of rental space on 623 acres. There are 28 different Federal agencies on site, making it the largest concentration of Federal agencies outside of Washington D.C. One of the major employers at the Denver Federal Center is the GSA. The GSA is responsible for delivering much of the space requirements of Federal agencies, and provides national leadership, policy direction and standards in the areas of architecture, engineering, urban development, sustainable design, fine arts, historic preservation, construction services and project management. The DFC’s new ICF for the NSF will be located in the northwest of the main entrance in the warehouse area directly north of the existing ICF. The warehouse is currently shared by various tenants including some space directly to the West of the proposed location that is currently occupied by another USGS program. Building 810 was built in the mid-1960’s and was originally used as a Federal Clearinghouse Warehouse with concrete floors and barrel-vaulted ceilings. Building 810 has housed the original NSF-ICF since 1993. The project includes space for NSF and USGS to jointly run this facility and will serve to replace the old NSF-ICF. The plan for this area is to continue running the proposed NSF-ICF for another 30 years. The design team shall ensure a high performing building that employs a whole building design approach which maximizes the building’s original construction and inherent characteristics to drive efficiency cost effectively. The A/E will strive to deliver a cost effective and technology advanced facility, and exhibits a high degree of ingenuity, and creativity. The core functional area requirements can be described as follows: ? Refrigerated Warehouse Spaces ? Refrigeration Equipment Space ? Storage/Shop Spaces ? Office and Support Spaces ? Loading/Shipping Spaces
