GSA PBS - Charlotte Ops Office IT Network Infrastructure - MRAS

The General Services Administration (GSA) is conducting market research to gather information on a potential contract related to architectural and engineering services. The overarching goal of this initiative is to ensure that the design and construction of federal facilities meet the highest standards while adhering to specific project requirements. This involves maintaining safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal in various GSA-managed buildings.

The type of work being requested involves a comprehensive set of architectural and engineering tasks. These include conducting thorough on-site investigations to assess existing conditions, documenting IT infrastructure, and identifying necessary modifications or upgrades. The project also requires the development of detailed design intent documents, which include drawings, specifications, schedules, and cost estimates at different phases (50% and 100%) of the project lifecycle.

Additionally, the scope covers ensuring compliance with existing standards such as the Facilities Standards for the Public Building Service (PBS-100), as well as coordinating with various stakeholders like mechanical and plumbing contractors. The work also encompasses verifying layouts provided by GSA and evaluating materials for retention or modification in line with new IT systems being proposed.

Overall, this solicitation aims to engage qualified firms capable of delivering high-quality design services that meet GSA's stringent criteria for federal building projects. By doing so, it supports GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces for federal agencies at optimal value while enhancing public infrastructure across the nation.
