The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Region 3 has a requirement for General contractor services for the Mid-Atlantic Social Security Center (MATSSC) Plaza Renovations Construction Project.

N/A

• The purpose of this project is to refresh the north plaza, south plaza, and flagpole area design for the Mid-Atlantic Social Security Center from the final design package. In addition, incorporate LEC concrete and obtain all required permits. The A/E shall pay for all permit application and review fees as part of their proposal.

  The North Plaza and South Plaza were designed together in a bid package titled, “MATSSC Plaza Renovation,” and delivered to the GSA on 7/7/2017. The North Plaza is designed to extend from the new lobby entrances (bump out) to the sidewalk and curb at Spring Garden Street, including the flagpole area. (Water intrusion repairs were performed under the MATSSC Security Project). The design of the North Plaza includes a pedestal paver system based on the design of the Security Project. The new plaza includes new retaining walls, ramps, handrails, mulched bedding area, site lighting, landscaping, hardscaping, and metered drip irrigation.

  The South Plaza will extend from the water intrusion repairs constructed under the Security Project to the parking lot curb. The South Plaza design will also include the planters, seating and shading that was rendered as part of the MATSSC Plaza Renovation Project. The new plaza shall include new landscaping, hardscaping, site lighting, and metered drip irrigation and any required drainage. The underside of the South Plaza shall also be cleaned of all mineral deposits and scale and treated as required to provide a clean slab. Include structural repairs. The three girders located in the loading dock that support a portion of the plaza/building need to be replaced. The AE shall use LEC steel for the structural repairs. This work shall be designed and incorporated into the South Plaza construction documents. Refer to Henry Adams Report of the situation. The trellis structure shall be removed from the design.

  Flagpole Area – The A/E shall update the design for the repairs or replacement of the flagpole system. The base of the flagpole is surrounded by stamped concrete in a faux brick pattern.

  This shall be replaced and will be coordinated with the new plaza hardscape structures.

  All projects receiving IRA funds must display the correct IRA signage. These requirements will be forthcoming and must be incorporated into the construction bid docs.
