Description
The U.S. Department of Labor seeks firms that may have certifications under Programs under Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 19; i.e. 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, etc.
The work consist of design and construction administration (CA) services for the multi-phase construction of four new buildings with historic preserviation requirements, as stipulated by execution of recent Memorandum of Agreemtn between the U.S. Department of Labor, The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), and the City of Gulfport. There are substantial public interface, presentation, and outreach requirements for the project for which the Architect/Engineer team will be primarily responsible. Two of the four buildings will need to be integrated into the design of the two new buildinggs. The facades to be retained will be required to be temporarily supported once the remainder of the buildings of which they are currently part are demolished. Due to the size of the new building footprints required to satisfy building program requirements, it is anticipated that geotechnical testing and a full replacement of existing on-site utilities and surface features will be required. The design will also need to be phased for construction into a least two distinct phases due to the need to keep the existing operating Job Corps Center functioning. Design services may include site adaptation, code compliance update, and minor revisions for historic preservation architectural features for the prior designs of two of the four buildings for which facade retention is not an issue, and entirely new designs for the two buildings which will be interated with the facades to be retained. All four buildings will be located on approximately five acres. Federal mandates affecting energy usage and storm water management will also be applied to the project, among others. The site is a leased site, and performance of a design which results in a local building permit will be required, as coordinated through the City’s Building Department during the course of design. Also included in the design services is the testing required to evaluate the condition and design proper bracing of the existing facades, as well as inclusion of hazardous and other material abatement in the project specifications. Estimate Value of the construction to be designed is over $10,000,000.
