Introduction

Housing New Mexico (“Owner”) is a governmental instrumentality, separate and apart from the state, created by the Mortgage Finance Authority Act, NMSA Sections 58-18-1 to 27 for the purpose of financing affordable housing for low- and moderate-income New Mexico residents.

Purpose

The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit proposals, in accordance with the Housing New Mexico Procurement Policy, from qualified general contractors by reason of their skill, knowledge, and experience that are able to furnish construction services to Housing NM (“Offerors”) to renovate Housing NM’s new headquarters located at 7425 Jefferson St. NE, 87109. 

Project Description

This project is an interior renovation of the 2-story, ±44,978 square feet REDW Building at 7425 Jefferson Street NE. There is no change of occupancy associated with this project. The renovation is considered a Level 3 Alteration based on the International Existing Building Code. Currently, a majority of the building is unoccupied, except as noted below.

The renovated building will house new private offices, new open office areas, new conference rooms, a new Board Room on the second floor and new support spaces. New metal stud partitions, ceilings, finishes, painting, wallcovering, casework, doors, manual and automatic blinds, plumbing fixtures, power distribution, interior lighting, and modifications to the existing HVAC systems, fire suppression system and fire alarm will be required to complete the renovation. Currently there are two areas that are considered ‘shell’ spaces. These areas are to be improved, with new partitions, ceilings, finishes, HVAC equipment, lighting and power distribution. No work to the building envelope or site is anticipated.

All flooring, with the exception of the porcelain tile in the lobby and the restrooms, and those areas designed as ‘No Work,’ is to be removed and replaced with new carpet tile and luxury vinyl tile with wall base.

The majority of the interior doors will remain in place. It is the intent to relocate existing doors and frames to new locations. Door hardware may require modifications for the Owner’s new access control system.

The majority of the suspended acoustical ceilings throughout the building will remain ‘as-is’ with modifications needed to accommodate the new layout. New gyp. board ‘beams’ and decorative wood ceilings will be installed in the new conference rooms and Board Room.

The majority of the existing lighting is to be removed and replaced ‘in kind’ with LED fixtures throughout. New decorative and specialty lights will be installed in the lobby, new conference rooms and Board Room.

The restrooms will remain ‘as-is’ with the exception of new solid surface countertops, sinks, trim, and new vanity lighting. There is no change to the flooring, ceilings, toilet partitions or other plumbing fixtures.

All new and existing gyp. board walls and ceilings, with the exception of those areas designed as ‘No Work,’ are to be repainted.

The current lobby stair and second floor railing system are to remain ‘as-is’ and are to be protected during construction.

Installation of the phone, data, IT, and audio and visual systems.

Reconfiguration of the current modular office furniture and removal of the modular wall systems will be the responsibility of the Owner. The Offeror will be required to coordinate with the Owner’s vendor to maintain the construction schedule.

Concurrently, the Owner is soliciting bids from separate contractors for a reroof of the building. The Offeror will be required to coordinate new roof penetrations with the Owner’s vendor to maintain the construction schedule.

Finally, a separate tenant currently occupies ±8,000sf on the west side of the second floor. This tenant, also, has use of the building lobby, the restrooms and a breakroom on the second floor outside their space. During construction, the Offeror must ensure these spaces remain operational for the tenant’s employees and guests at all times. Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems in these areas shall remain in working order throughout construction. The Offeror must provide a schedule for work in these areas as the Owner will coordinate appropriately with the tenant. The schedule for work in these areas will be determined with the Owner and tenant. Other than these areas, the Offeror will have full access to the building during construction.
