This is not a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Request for Proposal (RFP). This notice does not constitute a commitment by the Government to issue an RFQ, RFP, contract, or task order. The Government will not pay for any effort expended or any material provided in response to this announcement. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response.

The General Services Administration (GSA) has a requirement for planning and executing conservation and preservation services on its historic properties. The GSA intends to award three (3) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to meet recurrent conservation, and repair services in federally-owned buildings managed by the Public Buildings Service (PBS).

The purpose of this IDIQ contract is to provide flexibility in both planning and executing conservation and preservation services in order to provide essential continuity from need identification, analysis, diagnosis, and planning through construction completion. It is based on current industry trends in which historic preservation architects team with architectural conservators and/or multiple-discipled architectural-construction firms specializing historic buildings to provide life-cycle historic preservation services. This contract is premised upon GSA's obligation under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) to maintain and conserve historical elements in its buildings. GSA is referring to this work as a new project delivery method, Conservator as Consultant & Constructor (CaCC). The GSA anticipates significant benefits will be obtained by maintaining the continuity between professional conservation and preservation services through construction completion.

The primary work sites are federally owned facilities currently listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places in the GSA's Northwest/Arctic Region (Region 10). Additionally, the GSA Region 10 has facilities that are nearing or will achieve Historic Preservation status by the year 2024. The facilities are located within the states of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and Idaho. Properties range in style and construction from 1909 Beaux Arts sandstone to 1969 Modern Formalism. Common materials are sandstone,brick, terra cotta, concrete, bronze, curtain wall, marble and terrazzo. Common scenarios include water infiltration issues, exterior envelope renovation, interior finish materials restoration, and design and construction to fit modern conveniences and code requirements into historic spaces.

In partnership with the GSA's Rocky Mountain Region (Region 8) and Pacific Rim Region (Region 9), secondary work sites are established for federally owned and leased locations that are subject to historic preservation guidelines and those that will be determined eligible for historic listing by the year 2024. The facilities within the GSA Region 9 are located within the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii. The federally owned and leased facilities managed by the GSA Region 8 are located within the states of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota and Montana.

All of the GSA's listed properties are subject to the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act and those, which are approaching Historic Preservation Status by the year 2024. The GSA has occasional requirements for conservation type projects for federal agencies housed in leased locations (non-GSA owned), which are also subject to Historic Preservation efforts. Moreover, the GSA has the requirement to ensure all work is performed in accordance with the Secretary of Interior's Guidelines for the Treatment of Historic Properties and met GSA's historic building competency requirements.

All firms and prime contractors doing business with the Federal Government shall be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at www.sam.gov prior to award of a contract.

The GSA intends to award a Base Contract with up to 4 option periods.

The base Contract Maximum Value (CMV) for each IDIQ contract is $5 million. The CMV represents the most that can be spent on all task order contracts awarded against the IDIQ contract. The CMV is a shared by the award pool of an IDIQ contract. The CMV is reduced in an amount equal to awarded Task Order Contracts (TOC).
