New Chief of Mission Residence (CMR), U.S. Embassy Kathmandu, Nepal

The Regional Procurement Support Office in Frankfurt, Germany, intends to award a Firm Fixed-Price Construction type contract during the third quarter of calendar year 2024.

The successful contractor shall provide complete construction services, contract coordination, and supervision, including but not limited to the management and construction necessary to meet the requirements of the contract within the established timeframe.

The contractor shall design and construct a new residential structure on the site of the Embassy's previous CMR. The site is approximately 1.8 acres (0.72 hectares), and it is undeveloped and has an existing perimeter wall, guard house, generator house and two, one-story building blocks, with a drain slope to the southeast corner of the property. The existing soil will be mediated since it is prone to liquefaction in a seismic event. The CMR design will require a level of diplomatic formality in architectural style and interior design consistent with other US government representational properties. The interior and exterior finished design should emphasize the hybrid representation of US architectural styles and local architectural styles. The CMR structure will be designed to be seismically resistant and have life-safety features. The residence will have ABA accessible representational interior and exterior spaces. The residence will be a 2-story structure with a monumental stair.

The magnitude of this project is anticipated to be between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 U.S. Dollars for the entire project.
