The document outlines a Program of Requirements (POR) for the renovation of the Robert J. Dole U.S. Courthouse in Kansas City, funded partially by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The main objective is to enhance energy efficiency and improve safety by replacing original façade openings, which do not meet current standards. The General Services Administration (GSA) will manage this Design-Build project, which includes extensive coordination with tenants to minimize disruption during construction.
Key project goals include maintaining design excellence, minimizing the impact on existing infrastructure, and implementing low embodied carbon (LEC) materials for sustainability. Specific tasks involved in the renovation include cleaning and resealing the precast concrete façade, replacing windows with energy-efficient alternatives, and ensuring all work adheres to the P-100 performance matrix standards for GSA buildings.
In addition, the document emphasizes strict adherence to security measures during construction, given the courthouse's high-security nature. It outlines requirements for protective design, low embodied carbon materials, and energy performance improvements, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while tracking spending from multiple funding sources. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to modernizing federal facilities responsibly and sustainably.
