The General Services Administration (GSA) Design Excellence Program seeks to commission architects, engineers, and construction professionals to maintain and modernize our legacy federal buildings for the next 50 to 100 years of service. These projects are to demonstrate the value of integrated design that balances historic significance with current needs; balances aesthetics, cost, constructability, and reliability; and creates environmentally responsible and superior workplaces for civilian federal employees. In this context, GSA announces an opportunity for Design and Construction Excellence in public architecture for performance of Architectural Engineering Design and Construction services in accordance with GSA quality standards and requirements. As required by law, regulation or Executive Order, all facilities will meet performance targets and security requirements. The GSA intends to award a Design-Build (DB) contract for the Minton Capehart Garage Renovation in Indianapolis, IN pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Two- Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures (FAR Subpart 36.3). The project involves the renovation of the Minton-Capehart Federal Building Garage, 575 N Pennsylvania St, Indianapolis, IN 46204. The renovation will involve concrete repair and replacement and include systems that are affected by the concrete work. Such systems may include piping, storm drains, fire protection systems, wiring, etc. Additionally, new Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) to support charging vehicles will be furnished & installed. The existing parking garage is a two level 170,000 gsf reinforced concrete parking garage. The garage consists of 1 level partially below grade and 1 level above grade. GSA is pursuing a project that strives for innovative use of renewable energy and carbon reduction technologies. The parking garage is a contributing structure to the Minton-Capehart Federal Building (1971) complex which is eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), so GSA treats this building as if it is on the register and Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act applies, and Secretary of the Interior's Standards must be complied with. The purpose of Phase I (the request for qualifications) is to select the most highly qualified Offerors from Phase I to participate in Phase II (the request for proposals). At the conclusion of Phase I, GSA will invite the Short-Listed Offerors to submit Phase II proposals. Phase II proposals will require submission of technical and price proposals, which are evaluated separately in accordance with FAR Part 15. Potential Offerors are hereby placed on notice that GSA will publicly announce the names of the Phase I "short-list" on SAM.gov. A maximum of three (3) Offerors will be selected to proceed to Phase II. At the conclusion of Phase II, GSA intends to award a contract to a single Offeror for all design and construction services. This contract will be a full and open procurement, available to both large and small business firms. As part of the Phase II proposal, large business Offerors will be required to submit an acceptable small business subcontracting plan in accordance with FAR Part 19.7.
