AI summary Beta
GSA is doing market research (a Sources Sought, not a solicitation) for a roof safety repair and alteration project at the Harry S. Truman Federal Building (Department of State headquarters) in Washington, DC. It wants to know whether SDVOSB, HUBZone, EDWOSB or 8(a) small businesses can do the work. The estimated construction cost is $15 million to $25 million over about 850 calendar days.
Watch out for
- Large project for a small business. A $15 to $25 million roof construction job lasting about 850 days is a big bonding and cash-flow commitment.
Estimated Construction Cost Range is $15,000,000 and $25,000,000.00.
- Work in a fully occupied federal building. Work must not disrupt Department of State operations, which adds phasing, security and access constraints.
The HST FB is fully occupied and will remain so during this construction effort.
- Mandatory site visit. The contractor is expected to conduct a mandatory site visit, which requires travel and security coordination.
The contractor will be responsible for conducting a mandatory site visit
- Sources sought only. This is market research; no solicitation exists yet and it will not be linked to a future solicitation, so you must watch SAM.gov.
THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY.
