This Sources Sought Notice is being issued by the General Services Administration (GSA), National Capital Region for Design/Build Services for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The project will take place at the One White Flint North (OWFN) building, located at 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville MD, 20814. Construction on the building was completed in 1986. At that time Asbestos Containing Materials were largely no longer utilized in construction materials - it is probable that no hazardous materials were utilized in the construction of the building. This is a Fire and Life Safety project which requires the demolition and replacement of the current fire alarm system with a digital system that has an emergency voice communication system and bi-directional amplifier two-way radio communications systems. The project includes the design and installation of a new and complete digital/addressable network voice evacuation system, a new bi-directional amplifier two-way radio communications enhancement system, and a new two-way communication system at the OWFN. The systems shall include all wiring, raceways, pull boxes, terminal cabinets, outlet and mounting boxes, control equipment, alarm and supervisory signal initiating devices, alarm notification appliances, and all other accessories and miscellaneous items required for complete operational systems even though each item is not specifically mentioned or described. To satisfy these requirements, GSA/NRC will require hybrid work, taking place during operating and non-operating hours, and the existing fire alarm must remain operational during construction. The contractor must adhere to the most recent requirements from GSA PBS P100, International Building Code, and NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. The estimated construction cost range is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, and Period of Performance is approximately 470 days from date of Notice to Proceed.
