Details: Continuing A Legacy Of Outstanding Public Architecture, The General Services Administration (gsa) Seeks To Commission Our Nation’s Most Talented Architects, Landscape Architects, Interior Designers, Engineers And Construction Professionals To Design And Construct Federal Facilities Of Outstanding Quality And Value. These Projects Are To Demonstrate The Value Of True Integrated Design That Balances Aesthetics, Functionality, Cost, Constructability, Durability And Reliability; Create Environmentally Responsible And Superior Workplaces For Federal Employees And Give Contemporary Form And Meaning To Our Democratic Values. in This Context, Gsa Announces An Opportunity For Design And Construction Excellence In Public Architecture For Performance Of Architectural Engineering Design And Construction Services In Accordance With Gsa Quality Standards And Requirements. As Required By Law, Regulation Or Executive Order, All Facilities Will Meet Performance Targets And Security Requirements. gsa Intends To Award A Design-build (db) Contract For The Repair Or Replacement Of The Plaza And Structural Support System Of The Howard M. Metzenbaum U.s. Courthouse (metzenbaum) In Cleveland, Oh, Pursuant To The Federal Acquisition Regulation (far) Two-phase Design-build Selection Procedures (far 36.3). The Project Includes Design-build Services. this Project Will Take Place At The Howard M. Metzenbaum U.s. Courthouse In Cleveland, Oh. The Metzenbaum Courthouse, Built Between 1903 And 1910, Is A Five-story Structure Designed In The Neoclassical Style. It Is One Of The Most Significant Structures In Cleveland’s Downtown Cityscape And Is Listed In The National Register Of Historic Places. The Facade Is Clad With Granite And Remains Essentially The Same As When It Was Originally Constructed. Between 2002 And 2005, The Courthouse Was Modernized For The Primary Use Of The Bankruptcy Courts After The District Courts Relocated To The Newly Constructed Stokes Courthouse. the Metzenbaum U.s. Courthouse Is Located At The Center Of Cleveland Ohio’s Public Square. This Prominent Location Adds To The Building’s Status As A Cleveland Landmark. The Building Is Surrounded On Three Sides By A Plaza That Addresses The Public Square. The Plaza Is Heavily Trafficked By Pedestrians And Supports Two Priceless Daniel Chester French Statues That Are Part Of The Gsa’s Public Art Collection. the Plaza’s Concrete, Waterproofing Membrane, And Most Of Its Supporting Steel Framing Was Last Replaced In 1972, And The Top Slab Was Replaced In 1987. Shoring Was Installed Over A Decade Ago To Support The Sidewalk Vault Structurally And To Prevent The Public Sidewalk From Collapsing. Maintenance And Repairs Are No Longer Sufficient For Preventing Water Leaks Through The Plaza. the Plaza’s Concrete Structural Slab Is Failing. Widespread Deterioration Under The Plaza’s Structural Slab Ranges From Small Spalls To Large Areas Of Complete Delamination. The Damage Has Gone Beyond Concrete And Reinforcing Deterioration To Significant Loss Of Structural Steel Sections. The Steel Can Be Restored In Some Areas But Will Have To Be Replaced In Others. The Elevator Lift That Serves The Mail Screening Room In The Basement Must Remain Operational During The Project And Will Be Used By The Construction Contractor For Vertical Conveyance. Refurbishment Of The Lift Will Be Required After The Plaza Work Is Completed. the Foundation Wall’s Lack Of Waterproofing Allows Moisture And Water To Infiltrate Through Several Cracks. Waterproofing That Was Applied In Previous Slab Replacement Projects Only Goes Down A Few Feet Below Grade And Has Worn Away. The Remainder Of The Foundation Wall Has No Waterproofing. The Wall Moisture Has Corroded The Full Height Of The Vertical Steel Channels At The Inside Face Of The Wall That Are Likely A Key Part Of The Wall’s Strength. the Two Significant Daniel Chester French Statues Are Located On The South Elevation Of The Building. The Statues Are Supported By Both The Building Exterior Wall And The Sidewalk Slab. Movement And Deterioration Of The Sidewalk Slab Create A Risk Of Cracking In The Statues. The Original Clay Tile Floor Slab Supporting The Base Of The Statues Has Fallen Away, Leaving Only Unreinforced Cement Topping Between The Steel Beams And The Statue Base. A New Support System Needs To Be Installed To Isolate The Statues From The Sidewalk Slab. this Project Seeks Design Build Services For The Improvements Necessary To Repair Or Replace The Plaza And Its Structural Support System For The Safety Of Tenants And Visitors And Long Term Stabilization Of The Property. this Project Will Utilize The Design-build (db) Delivery Method, With The Db Contract Procured By Competitive Negotiation Using A Two-phase Design-build Selection Procedure (far 36.3). A Single Db Contract Will Be Issued For A Design Concept Submission, Design Development Phase And Construction Documents Phase Services, As Well As All Construction Work.
