The General Services Administration (GSA) Region 9 proposes to replace all the windows at the Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole (PJKK) Courthouse, 300 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96850. The 136,210 GSF Courthouse is a Level IV, ISC Medium level protection structure. The US General Services Administration (GSA) is pursuing a prudent course to protect the people visiting and working in the space in its charge. Flying glass fragments and debris, which may be the result of numerous causes (e.g., explosions, projectile impacts, violent weather, etc.), have the potential for producing serious injury or death. As part of its protection program, GSA initiated a Glass Fragment Retention for Windows Program to assess and retrofit, as required, the windows in its facilities to meet the Condition of 3b or lower requirements of the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) Security Design Criteria. GSA is seeking Design-Built Contractors for the design and installation of blast resistant window systems, windows resistant to glass fragmentation will be capable to serve as a moisture barrier. The existing curtain-wall is not weather tight, and thus has become a source of moisture intrusion into the building which is a contributing factor to the operation efficiency of the HVAC system. The Scope of Work for the curtain-wall system includes the following: Replacement of the existing windows (Glass and Frames only) with new blast resistant windows (Glass and Frames only). There are five (5) different types of window configurations for a total of 5,400 SF. Typical panes sizes are: 73” H x 58” W, 44” H x 54” W, 69” H x 42” W, 16” H x 78” W and 76” H x 57” W.

The D-B Contractor shall have demonstrated experience with the evaluation, design and installation of protective glazing products. The D-B Contractor shall demonstrate a track record of providing such services and products installation for large buildings. These facilities may include federal buildings, office buildings, federal courthouse, etc. A qualified blast consultant shall lead and perform all window vulnerability assessments. For this work, the Contractor shall have demonstrated experience in performing work of a similar nature and scope within the past 18 months.
