Summary: Title: Project Management/Construction Management (PM/CM) Support Services Location: National Gallery of Art (NGA), Washington, DC The National Gallery of Art (“NGA” or “Gallery” herein) is a highly complex set of buildings known as the West Building, Connecting Link and East Building, totaling 1.4 million square feet, a 6.1-acre Sculpture Garden, three (3) acres of skylights, and over 1,500 major pieces of equipment, all of which must be maintained under the strictest environmental conditions for the preservation of the art. The Gallery also occupies a variety of leased properties to carry out its mission. The Gallery’s Repair, Restoration and Renovation Program, which is comprised of Master Facilities Plan (MFP) projects and Ongoing Renovation projects, was developed as an integrated approach to reducing the growing backlog of deferred maintenance. This program of facilities improvements is required to prevent the continued degradation of the physical plant and to ensure optimum operational effectiveness and efficiency of the Gallery’s facilities. Recognizing that the Gallery’s buildings were reaching an age where many components needed major repair or replacement, and that some infrastructure systems were reaching the end of their useful life; the Gallery undertook the development of the MFP in 1997 with the following goals: a. Continue to safeguard the Gallery’s art collection, the visiting public, and staff; b. Extend the useful life of the facilities; c. Limit the extent of gallery closings, maintain the schedule of special exhibitions, and minimize the impact of this work on public educational programs; d. Reduce the risks to the collection, staff, and visitors and reduce the potential for emergencies; e. Provide an organizing framework for effective implementation of infrastructure improvements and renovations; and f. Respond to new safety standards and building codes. Additionally, the Gallery maintains a robust facilities maintenance program through the Facilities Management group’s Maintenance and Repair funds and supports improvements to security and protection through the Protection Services group’s Security and Protection Services funds. The emphasis of this PM/CM Support Services Contract is on project delivery strategies related to the Gallery’s multiple facilities improvement/maintenance programs, construction management related to budgets and schedules, and field support for the NGA’s construction program. Projects will have specific requirements within these overall service areas, which may include the need for personnel with specialized experience. The project services are project driven and subject to fluctuations depending on project activity levels. The nature of this work includes ongoing coordination of the project construction-related activities, review of design contract documents relative to constructability and project delivery, participation in the construction phase acquisition strategy for solicitation of construction services, provision of post-award field representation, review of contractor change proposals, tracking of schedule and budget, and day-to-day liaison activities.
