- Description
- The General Services Administration (GSA) Art in Architecture Program commissions American artists (citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents or Permanent Workers of the United States) to create publicly scaled and permanently installed artworks for federal buildings nationwide. GSA announces an opportunity for a federal art commission in conjunction with the construction of a new Federal Complex in San Juan, Puerto Rico at 150 Carlos Chandon Avenue to consolidate the operations of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). The FBI is currently housed in the Federico Degetau Federal Building in San Juan, Puerto Rico and GSA center in Guaynabo, which are approximately 3.5 miles apart. The FBI needs to integrate its technical and mechanical capabilities that are currently located at the GSA center with its field office at the Degetau Federal Building in order to fulfill its mission and to accommodate the anticipated increase in staffing levels. The new federal complex will consist of a new FBI field office, an annex building for vehicle maintenance, a visitor screening facility and a secured parking area. It will share the 27-acre San Juan federal site with the existing Federico Degetau Federal Building, Clemente Ruiz Nazario Courthouse and the Rainforest Kids Child Development Center. The complex will provide the FBI with a modern, state-of-the-art facility that will satisfy the agency's security and long-term space requirements and meet the objectives for flexible space, sustainable design, seismic safety and durability. GSA allocates one-half of one percent of the estimated construction costs of new or modernized federal buildings for art commissions. The art budget for the FBI Consolidation project is currently estimated to be $389,000. One or more artists will be awarded a fixed-price contract for a commission. Artists who wish to be considered for this and all future GSA art commissions must submit application materials to GSA's National Artists Registry (Registry). The Registry constitutes the qualified list of artists for this and all GSA commissions. Instructions on how to join the Registry are available on the following Web site: www.gsa.gov/artinarchitecture All artists who wish to be considered as candidates for a commission at the new Federal Complex Building in San Juan, Puerto Rico, must have their application materials submitted and received by GSA by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on 08/28/2016. Artists' submissions received after the deadline will not be considered for this project, but will be eligible for consideration on future GSA commissions alongside the other artists on the Registry. Artists already on the Registry need not resubmit, but may elect to update their information prior to the deadline. GSA evaluates artists based on the following criteria: the media, materials, content, style, and scope of the artist's past work, along with the artist's past performance and experience with commissions or projects similar to the one described in this synopsis. Short-listed artists will be contacted and asked to submit additional information including a statement that he or she can perform the work associated with the GSA commission within the identified budget. GSA will count the combined weight of all the selection criteria as significantly more important than price. At a minimum, the scope of services for this commission will require: collaboration with the lead designer selected for the building project; development of preliminary and final concepts; fabrication of the artwork; participation in meetings and conservation reviews as necessary; and the installation of the artwork at the project site.
