- ART IN ARCHITECTURE PROJECT GSA Synopsis for Artist Services Artist Services Synopsis Number: GS-04P-12-BV-C-0009 FBO Classification: R499 NAICS: 711510 Description: The General Services Administration (GSA) Art in Architecture Program commissions American artists ( citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents or Permanent Workers of the United States ) to create publicly scaled and permanently installed artworks for federal buildings nationwide. GSA announces an opportunity for a federal art commission in conjunction with the modernization of the George C. Young Federal Building and Courthouse in Orlando, Florida. GSA will modernize the George C. Young Federal Building and Courthouse to meet the needs of its various tenants: U.S. Courts, U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Trustees, U.S.D.A. and GSA. This modernization project is a pivotal undertaking in extending the life of the building. It will include the design and construction of a new, central entrance pavilion, stair tower and landscaped plaza, as well as the replacement or upgrade of outdated mechanical and electrical systems. With the completion of the modernization project, the building will apply for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification. GSA allocates one-half of one percent of the estimated construction costs of new or modernized federal buildings for art commissions. The art budget for the George C. Young Federal Building and Courthouse project is $175,000. One or more artists will be awarded a fixed-price contract for a commission. The art contract will be administered by the design A/E rather than GSA. Artists who wish to be considered for this and all future GSA art commissions must submit application materials to GSA's National Artists Registry (Registry). The Registry constitutes the qualified list of artists for this and all GSA commissions. Instructions on how to join the Registry are available on the following Web site: www.gsa.gov/artinarchitecture All artists who wish to be considered as candidates for a commission at the George C. Young Federal Building and Courthouse in Orlando, Florida, must have their application materials submitted and received by GSA by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on February 27, 2012. Artists' submissions received after the deadline will not be considered for this project, but will be eligible for consideration on future GSA commissions alongside the other artists on the Registry. Artists already on the Registry need not resubmit, but may elect to update their information prior to the deadline. GSA evaluates artists based on the following criteria: the media, materials, content, style, and scope of the artist's past work, along with the artist's past performance and experience with commissions or projects similar to the one described in this synopsis. Short-listed artists will be contacted and asked to submit additional information including a statement that he or she can perform the work associated with the GSA commission within the identified budget. GSA will count the combined weight of all the selection criteria as significantly more important than price. At a minimum, the scope of services for this commission will require: collaboration with the lead designer selected for the building project; visit(s) to the site; development of preliminary and final concepts; fabrication of the artwork; participation in meetings and conservation reviews as necessary; and the installation of the artwork at the project site. All questions regarding this synopsis should be sent to: Audrey Entorf Regional Historic Preservation & Fine Arts Officer GSA PBS Design & Construction Division 77 Forsyth Street, SW, G-40 Atlanta, GA 30303 (404) 331-0060 (desk) audrey.entorf@gsa.gov Please note Ms. Entorf is the primary point of contact for artist inquiries only.

Young Federal Building and Courthouse should be sent to Contract Specialist, Alenda Blackwell at alenda.blackwell@gsa.gov or 404-224-2316.
