The President’s Room, constructed as part of the U.S. Capitol Senate Extension, began in 1851 and completed in 1860. The room serves as a location for Presidents to sign legislation into law and serves as an interview and press conference room. The decorative painting and frescos on the walls and ceiling were designed and painted by Constantino Brumidi in 1859 and completed in early 1860.

SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall provide professional expertise for design services for ceiling plaster restoration and repair treatment plan, and subsequent implementation of the treatment plan for Room S-216.

The objectives for this project are to prevent the potential loss of valuable plaster, decorative painting, frescoes, and seccos due to plaster and paint deterioration, and to design a treatment plan to safely adhere the plaster to the masonry vault at locations where delamination has occurred. Previous studies have advised that a ceiling restoration is necessary to prevent any damage to the existing plaster and frescos and maintain safe use of the President’s Room.

The successful Architectural Conservator, (AC) shall review reference documents, survey the existing conditions, develop design solutions for the conservation and stabilization of the plaster ceiling and decorative finishes and provide a treatment plan, specifications, and a cost estimate for the implementation phase of the contract so that the unpriced implementation option can be exercised.

The basis of the award is a tradeoff process decision in accordance with AOC Order 34-1, Section 9.1.2.(a), indicating the CO may award to other than the lowest priced offeror or the highest technically rated offeror.  The AOC intends to award one(1) contract.

The award will be made to the responsible offeror that is a registered firm in sam.gov whose proposal conforms to all required terms and conditions, includes all required representations and certifications, and meets all requirements set forth in the RFP.
