GSA's Public Buildings Service wants a small business to renovate Federal Highway Administration office space in the Carson City Federal Building in Nevada. The work is building a sound-rated wall around Office 225, re-hanging and replacing roller shades, mounting government-supplied video equipment and installing sound masking. The government's stated price range is $50,000 to $100,000, and the job must be finished within 60 calendar days of notice to proceed.
Watch out for
- Asbestos may be found during the work. The government will test, but if asbestos is present the winner would probably have to abate it by change order, so scope and schedule could shift after award.
The government will test for asbestos. If asbestos is present then
- Wall size is not given. You must measure the wall yourself and price without government quantities, which raises pricing risk on a fixed-price job.
Take-offs are up to contractor bidding on the project.
- Payment bond required on a small job. A payment bond or letter of credit for 100 percent of the price is due within 10 days of award, which can be hard for a small firm to line up.
(b) The amount of the payment protection shall be 100 percent of the contract
- Sound masking scope conflict. The SOW says office-wide while the RFI answers say corridor only, and the SOW text provided still reads office-wide, so confirm before pricing.
Sound masking shall be installed in common corridor only.
- Working in an occupied office. Work is limited to normal business hours (7am to 5pm) and must not disrupt the tenant, which slows noisy demolition and wall work.
Yes, it will be occupied during construction.
- Short 60-day schedule. The job must be done within 60 calendar days of notice to proceed, including long-lead items like roller shades and sound masking equipment that need submittal approval first.
Project must be completed no later than 60 calendar days after a notice to proceed has
- Key drawings and report are access-controlled. The asbestos survey and floor plan drawing are not readable without requesting access on SAM.gov, so request them before bidding.
- Documents disagree on dates and scope. The main solicitation still lists the old SOW date and the old October 14 due date; the later amendments and revised SOW control, so work from the amendments.
(3) Solicitation due date is extended to October 28, 2026, 4:00PM Pacific Time.
- Signed SF 30 required with quote. Missing the signed amendment acknowledgement can get a quote rejected.
Contractor is required to sign blocks 15A-15C of this SF30 and provide to GSA with quote submission.
