The District of Columbia ("District") Department of General Services ("DGS" or "Department") is issuing this Request for Proposals ("RFP") to engage a design firm to serve as the Architect/Engineer (the "A/E'') to provide a full range of architectural and engineering services for the modernization of the Chevy Chase Community Center ("Chevy Chase"), located at 5601 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20015 (the "Project"). The existing Chevy Chase Community Center was constructed in 1968 and consists of approximately 32,527 GSF of space, situated alongside Chevy Chase Library, a community playground, and basketball courts. The A/E shall determine and advise the Department whether it is more feasible in terms of budget, schedule and constructability, to raze the building completely or demolish down to the structural framing.
