CMS Headquarters Roofs and Elevators Renovation

The General Services Administration (GSA) intends to solicit bids from Design-Build teams for the renovation project of roofs and elevators at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Headquarters in Woodlawn, Maryland. The facility spans four buildings, built between 1993 and 1995, and the project scope includes renovating all campus roofs (approximately 300,000 square feet) and upgrading multiple elevators across the Central, South, and Warehouse buildings.

This procurement utilizes a Two-Phase Design-Build project delivery method to provide cost-effective federal building enhancements. During phase one, Offerors' technical qualifications will be evaluated, with three teams shortlisted for phase two, which involves submitting full proposals. Unsuccessful phase two Offerors will receive a stipend to offset conceptual design preparation costs. The project is set aside for total small businesses under NAICS 236220, with a size standard of $45 million and a project magnitude estimated between $20 and $30 million.

Contractors must coordinate all trade and subcontractor work to comply with government guidelines, and the estimated completion time is 410 days from notice to proceed. The GSA has engaged a Construction Management firm to finalize the Design-Build RFP, and selection factors will emphasize technical qualifications in phase one.
