Quick Summary

The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, is soliciting proposals for a Firm-Fixed-Price Design-Build contract for the Roofs and Elevators renovation project at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Headquarters in Woodlawn, Maryland. This Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity has an estimated value between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000.

Scope of Work

The project encompasses the renovation of approximately 300,000 sq ft of campus roofs and the modernization of 15 elevators across the CMS Headquarters.

The new roof assembly will be a single-ply PVC membrane system with specific material and insulation requirements. Work must be phased to minimize disruption, with noisy activities restricted to off-hours (6 PM - 6 AM).
  • Elevator Modernization: Involves 6 passenger and 1 freight traction elevators in the Central Building, 6 passenger and 1 freight hydraulic elevators in the South Building, and 1 hydraulic freight elevator in the Warehouse. Modernization includes new drive machines, control systems, door operators, and refurbishment of car enclosures. Elevator work must be phased, with no more than one group or service elevator out of service at a time.
  • The Design-Build Contractor will provide architectural, engineering, construction, and related services, ensuring compliance with federal codes, 2025 PBS Core Building Standards, and energy efficiency targets (30% better than ASHRAE 90.1-2019).
