Continuing a legacy of outstanding public architecture that was initiated with the founding of the nation, the General Services Administration (GSA) Design Excellence Program seeks to commission our nation’s most talented architects, engineers, landscape architects, and interior designers to modernize our federal buildings and prepare them for the next 50 – 100 years of service. Federal buildings must be high-performance green facilities which demonstrate the merit of true integrated design that balances aesthetics, performance, cost, constructability, and reliability; create environmentally responsible and superior workplaces for civilian federal employees; and give contemporary form and meaning to our democratic values. In this context, GSA announces an opportunity for Design Excellence in public architecture for performance of Architectural-Engineering Integrated Design in accordance with GSA quality standards and requirements. As required by law, all facilities must meet all Federal energy and water conservation goals and security requirements specifically the Guiding Principles for Sustainable New Construction and Major Renovations of Executive Order 13423 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. All projects must achieve a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver rating with specific IBCLEED certification credits required. The project will be in conformance to GSA design standards for secure facilities; conformance to the P-100 (Facility Standards for Public Buildings), International Building Code, Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS), and applicable customer agency requirements. The facility will be designed in metric units. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project as authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is a two-phase major renovation project to modernize the building infrastructure systems and provide limited tenant improvements of the existing Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse campus, which was built in 1978. Phase I includes $60-70 million for the design and construction for an electrical substation and the existing 5-story U. S. Courthouse, which is approximately 136,000 gross square feet (GSF). Phase II includes only the design for the existing 9-story federal building, which is approximately 600,000 gross square feet (GSF). The $100-110 million Phase II construction funding is not part of the ARRA. The federal campus is located at 300 Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu, Hawaii. Currently, both buildings are fully occupied by federal agencies. The buildings include 6 artworks that will be conserved. This project will not only modernize the major building systems to provide 30+ years of useful life, but will also transform the existing buildings into high-performance green buildings, and provide an efficient and model interior work place for the existing federal tenants. While the project will not require alteration to the existing building exterior, the renovation project should enhance and be responsive to the distinct architectural statement of the existing buildings while improving the energy conservation, quality of the existing offices while showcase sustainable design. Currently, a window replacement project is underway that will provide blast protection for the courthouse building. This project will be completed by June 2010. The scope and extent of the window replacement project must be aligned with the project requirements outlined in this solicitation. The project consists of complete design services including the preparation of construction documents and construction administration services. The construction will be phased utilizing internal swing space and the project delivery method will be CMc. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of professional services will require at a minimum: professional architectural, engineering, interior design, and related consulting services for implementation of an integrative design process whereby the project design is developed in tandem by a multidisciplinary team through concept design, design development, construction documents, specifications, cost estimates, value engineering services, computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and building information modeling (BIM), and post-construction contract services (PCCS) for the complete renovation and modernization of both existing buildings. The project includes major renovations to several building infrastructure systems not limited to the HVAC, fire alarm, life safety, fire sprinkler, plumbing, security and electrical systems The project will also include limited tenant improvements. Since the existing buildings are currently fully occupied, construction will be strategically phased while tenants will utilize swing spaces located within the buildings. Tenant Improvements (TI) or space alterations include the complete renovation of the public lobbies, elevator cabs, and restrooms. Limited tenant improvements within workspace areas will focus primarily on areas located above existing ceilings.
