Providing unprecedented levels of transparency, oversight and accountability
GSA’s Role in the Recovery
Federal Acquisition Service:

PBS’ $5.5 BILLION RECOVERY ACT SPEND PLAN
Other Provisions of the Act
• $5 billion shall be obligated by September 30, 2010.
• Give preference to activities that can be started and completed expeditiously. (Goal of 50% of funds obligated within 120 days)
• Provide the maximum number of practicable opportunities for small businesses.
“…because everybody has to be possessed with a sense of urgency about putting people back to work.” ~President Barack Obama
Project Selection Criteria
Two Overarching Criteria
Ability of the project to put people Transforming Federal buildingsback to work quickly into high-performance green buildings.
Security of the People, 1942 Construction, 1938Seymour Fogel Chaim Gross
GSA’s Project Plan (released March 27, 2009)
Hundreds of projects funded in four categories:
New Construction (Federal Buildings, Courthouses and Land Ports of Entry)
High Performance Green Buildings
Full and partial building modernizations
Limited scope projects
Small projects
Janise NicholsIndustry Relations Manager for Design and Construction
New Construction of Federal Buildings, Courthouses, and Land Port of Entry’s (LPOEs)
• Six courthouses
• Seven border stations
• One office building
• DHS consolidation (site, infrastructure, and development of St. Elizabeth’s campus)
High Performance Green Buildings
Expenditures That Meet the HPGB Requirement
• Reduces energy, water, and material resource use
• Improves indoor environmental quality
• Reduces negative impacts on the environment throughout the life- cycle of the building
• Increases the use of environmentally preferable products
• Increases reuse and recycling opportunities
• Integrates systems in the building
• Reduces the environmental/energy impacts of transportation
• Considers indoor and outdoor effects of the building on human health and the environment
High Performance Green Buildings (HPGB)
HPGB Full and Partial Building Modernizations
Full Modernization
Involves the replacement of multiple building systems (e.g. HVAC, electrical, plumbing, elevators, roof, windows), and often requires demolition down to the building shell and relocation of tenants.
Partial Modernization
Involves the replacement of a one or more major systems, but the building remains mostly intact, and may or may not require the relocation of tenants.
New Construction and Modernization Projects
Projects Already Underway Construction Phase
Project is already awarded
Design Phase
Design is already awarded
Depending on project delivery method, construction may already be awarded (e.g. design/build)
New Projects
Full and Open Competition
GSA will determine delivery method. Most likely methods are:
Design/Build
Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc)
Limited-Scope, HPGB Projects
Scope Examples
• Re-commissioning
• Replacing flat roofs with integrated photo-voltaic panels bonded to the membrane or planted “green” roofs.
• Installing intelligent lighting systems that provide daylight and provide controls for occupants to adjust for ambient light versus task light.
• Installing more efficient motors to reduce energy and extend the life of the mechanical equipment;
• Converting parking structure lighting to LED (light-emitting diode)
• Retrofitting or replacing less efficient windows
Almost 200 HPGB limited-scope projects are on the list
Limited-Scope, HPGB Projects
Potential Procurement Methods Procurement methodology determined by scope of individual project
1. Full and Open Competition
• New or existing Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts
• Multiple Award Schedules
• New or existing Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs)
• New single award
2. Full and open competition after exclusion of sources
• Small business set asides
How Suppliers Can Get Involved
Understand How and What Agencies Buy
• Each Government agency has a unique mission, and acquires goods and services in a way that fits their requirements (ie: GSA’s P-100)
• Follow the money - use available (free) government websites to understand agency buying habits and to find current or interested service providers (FPDS.gov, FedBizOpps.gov)
• Utilize Industry/Vendor Outreach Divisions and agency websites
• Each agency has an Office of Small Business Utilization that helps both small and large businesses
GSA Schedules
• Schedule 56 - Buildings and Building Materials/ Industrial Services and Supplies
• Other Schedules – www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov
• Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 51
Recovery Update (as of August 6, 2009)
GSA has obligated $1,127,042,517 of Recovery Funds, exceeding our August 1st commitment of $1 billion in Recovery Act obligations.
