The offeror selected shall furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment, management, and expertise necessary to perform all operations required for the successful completion of this project. Description: The work of this contract shall include repairs essential to preserve the Old Courthouse structure, prevent further deterioration of historic fabric caused by water infiltration at the cornice level, and eliminate public safety hazards caused by structural deterioration. The majority of the scope of work will be the repair and/or replacement of approximately 420 cornice stones and 15 column capitals. The replacement stone shall be Indiana Limestone in sizes ranging from 200 lbs to 8,000 lbs per stone. Stone work will include full replacements of existing stones, partial replacements using a structural dutchman repair, patching of existing limestone, and crack repair in existing limestone. Decorative tooling is required at many stones to match historic conditions. Additional work will include paint removal at the existing stonework, brick masonry repointing, bird netting removal and replacement, copper and lead-coated copper flashing fabrications, and re-painting of the new stone elements. The cornice level of the Old Courthouse is approximately 35-40 feet above grade; sophisticated scaffolding systems and hoisting plans will be required. The Old Courthouse is located in downtown St. Louis on a small site which will require careful staging and safety processes; the safety of the public and park employees will be paramount during construction. Type of Acquisition: A negotiated, firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and a price proposal. The Government will consider an offeror's technical capability, past performance, and price to determine the best value (trade-off process) to the Government.
