The U.S. General Services Administration is planning $35 million to $40 million in renovations to a 50-year-old federal building and courthouse in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska.
Plans call for replacing the Lincoln’s Robert V. Denney Federal Building and Courthouse’s existing windows, curtain walls and doors with blast-resistant, thermally broken aluminum frames and blast-resistant, insulated, low embodied carbon glazing units.
Solicitations for the design phase will begin in the summer 2024, with construction expected to begin in spring 2025. The project calls for low-embodied carbon materials produced with low or zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Funding comes from the GSA’s $2 billion investment in 150 federal construction projects using LEC projects announced in November 2023. The funding, which was allocated in 2022’s Inflation Reduction Act, will support projects across 39 states; Washington, D.C.; and Puerto Rico.
Following its November 2023 announcement, GSA launched a pilot program focused on four carbon-intensive construction materials — asphalt, concrete, glass, and steel — which contribute significant greenhouse gas emissions in their supply chains, from raw materials to transportation to manufacturing.
Strategic Partnerships, Inc. can provide information on contract opportunities, plus existing and future government funding. For more information, contact research@spartnerships.com.
