GSA defines quality as the thoughtful expression of artistry, local culture, and democratic values like civic participation, accessibility, and transparency, achieved in balance with affordability, constructability, reliability, and industry-leading sustainable performance. Design Excellence is the means by which GSA realizes the Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture, which President Kennedy authorized in 1962, and it is one of the agency’s primary vehicles for catalyzing positive, inclusive change in local communities. The General Services Administration (GSA) is soliciting Design-Build teams for design and construction services for the Engineering and Mission Operations (EMO) Facility N278 to be constructed within the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, CA.. The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS) is serving the project as the contracting entity working on behalf of NASA as the facility’s operator and end-user. The GSA has contracted AECOM to prepare a program of requirements for the design-build project. The program includes: Existing Building and Site Demolition - As part of this Design-Build Contract, two existing buildings and a gas filling station will be demolished. The two existing buildings requiring demolition include the Motor Pool (Building N251) and the Machine Shop (Building N216). Two (2) existing Motor Pool Fuel pumps with underground fuel tanks are located at the East Side of the site and will also require demolition and environmental closure of the fuel tank. Design and Construction of the new Building N278 - This new facility has a minimum goal of 30,292 GSF that will co-locate several key program functions and include offices, meeting space, technical labs, support space and collaborative/conference space. Building N278 will be an important contribution towards realizing the goals of the “walkable campus” as outlined in the Center Master Plan for the NASA Ames Research Center and will address NASA’s requirements to reduce the footprint and O&M costs while providing a healthy, safe, efficient, modern, flexible, and sustainable work environment. The site selected for this facility is owned by NASA and is located at the Southwest intersection of Warner Road and Mark Avenue on the Ames Research Center campus.
