This Sources Sought Notice is being issued by the General Services Administration (GSA), National Capital Region for Design/Build Services for the Department of State (DOS). The place of performance will be the Harry S Truman Building, located at 2201 C St NW, Washington, DC 20520. This is a Repair and Alteration project which involves civil/site construction of approximately (162K) SF of streetscape (sidewalks, curb & gutter, utilities, etc.), which requires multiple phases for completion.

This is a major renovation project that will replace the temporary security measures surrounding the Harry S Truman Building to provide countermeasures that will secure the building, protect employees and visitors, and improve the surrounding streetscape by creating an attractive and accessible environment for pedestrians.

The project entails relocating employee and visitor screening to new security pavilions at the building entrances; providing guard booths for vehicular security screening; increasing the sidewalk widths; developing a protective barrier system; realigning curbs to address vehicular standoff distances and significant landscape improvements, including low impact development (LID) and Storm Water Management (SWM) features. The proposed perimeter security will replace temporary security barriers with permanent security measures to enhance the aesthetic appearance and pedestrian environment consistent with the civic character of the context.

To satisfy these requirements GSA/DOS plans to reconfigure 21st, 23rd, C, and D street lane widths; install new curbs and sidewalks; construct a staff and visitor screening pavilion at the D Street entrance; construct staff and visitor screening pavilions at the 23rd Street, C Street, and incorporate the new NMAD Pavilion at the 21st Street south entrances; locate guard booths and vehicle barriers at the intersections of 21st and C Street, 23rd and C Streets, and 23rd and D Streets; retractable bollards at the intersection of 22nd and C Streets; build anti-ram walls, bollards, and fences along 21st and 23rd Street; add signage and striping on 22nd Street to facilitate parking; and update the landscaping. The Harry S Truman building is fully occupied and will remain so during this construction effort. Special attention needs to be taken to ensure that this modernization does not impact the DOS's operations and mission.

The estimated construction cost range is $15-25 million, and Period of Performance is approximately 36 months from date of Notice to Proceed.
