General Work Requirements: This is a Design Bid Build Construction Contract to support construction services for the Ships Maintenance Facility located at the Norfolk Naval Ship Yard, Portsmouth, VA. The contractor shall provide all material, labor, transportation, tools, equipment, management, supervision and quality control necessary to convert the fifth and sixth floors in Building #510 to accommodate the relocation of the Nuclear Containment and Life Raft Shops. The 370,987 gsf building was constructed in 1957 and has undergone multiple, relatively minor renovations. The original building construction was equivalent to Type I-B non-combustible construction under the current IBC. However, over time the building has been downgraded with combustible construction located throughout, and is now considered Type III-B construction. In order for the vacant 5th and 6th floors to be occupied additional interior renovations are required in various locations, on all floors, to restore the building to its original Type I-B classification. The altered floor plan will include shop equipment areas, maintenance space, pallet racks, fire rated walls around storage areas, administrative office, break room, personnel support areas, bathrooms, and a conference room. Existing stairwells, from ground floor to sixth floor will be repaired to meet code requirements. All non-code compliant combustible construction throughout the building will be removed and the egress deficiency on the third floor will be corrected. Code compliant fire alarm/mass notification, standpipe and sprinkler systems will be installed throughout the facility. This project will provide Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) features and comply with AT/FP regulations, and physical security mitigation in accordance with DoD Minimum Anti-Terrorism Standards for Buildings.
