The General Services Administration ("GSA") Northeast and Caribbean Region is conducting a market survey and is seeking sources for General Contractor services. The requirements for this opportunity include alterations to the Ron De Lugo Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse located at 5500 Veterans Drive Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The project will involve upgrading the current security process and facilities at the federal building and courthouse. This project is anticipated to start in the beginning of 2017.

The current estimated construction cost exceeds $10,000,000. The estimated project duration (construction) is 37 months (1125 days) after Notice to Proceed (NTP). The North American Industry System (NAICS) code for this effort is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard is $36.5 million dollars in annual receipts averaged over a concern's latest three (3) completed fiscal years. The services for this project will include providing all construction related services including providing labor, materials and equipment required to complete the project as per contract documents prepared by an independent Architect/Engineer firm. The project will require work to be performed within an occupied Federal Building and Courthouse and outside, including building common areas, site, and parking, while minimizing disruptions to the operations of the existing facility.

The Ron De Lugo Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse are located within a three-story federally owned building, located on the waterfront, in the central business district of Charlotte Amalie. The facility was constructed in 1977 and contains approximately 55,000 usable square feet. Court components occupy about 43% of the building. Major security upgrades have not occurred since the initial completion of the building.
