A/E Design Services – Building A, 8th Floor Modernization

The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) requires professional Architect-Engineer (A/E) services to evaluate, plan, and design the repurposing of approximately 17,000 square feet located on the 8th floor of Building A. The objective of this project is to deliver complete, biddable, and constructible design documents to support phased construction to repurpose the southeast corner of GPO 8th Floor Building A area into a multi-functional workplace environment that supports building occupants, tenant agencies, and visitors. The repurposed space is anticipated to include a self-service lounge or refreshment area, conference and meeting facilities, and flexible workspace area. The building will remain occupied during the design and construction, and the design shall account for phasing, safety of occupants, and protection of existing building systems. • The A/E shall provide all labor, supervision, technical expertise, and professional services required to support the project from feasibility assessment through preparation of construction documents suitable for procurement and construction. • The A/E shall conduct detailed site survey of the project area, evaluate existing systems, and develop a minimum of two conceptual layout options. • The A/E shall ensure compliance with all codes and standards, including International Building Code (IBC), NFPA codes and standards, and ADA requirements. • The A/E shall develop a detailed phasing plan to maintain uninterrupted operations of GPO, avoid downtime, and optimize productivity. • The A/E shall provide submissions at 15%, 35%, 65%, and 100% completion, including existing conditions summary, feasibility study, conceptual layout options, systems feasibility evaluation, and concept level construction cost estimate.
