BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District is conducting market research to facilitate a determination of the acquisition strategy for this procurement. The determination of the acquisition strategy lies solely with the Government and will be based on market research and information available to the Government from other sources. The New York District is conducting this market research to identify businesses which have the capability to perform design and construction for Buildings 652 and Bldg. 654 which will be renovated into medical facilities to house the Public Health Clinic functions for USAG West Point. Bldg. 652, built in 1943, is a 6,740 GSF facility that was originally constructed as a barracks and currently houses unaccompanied enlisted personnel. The facility is converting from its most recent use as a Collective Training, Unaccompanied Housing Facility to a Health Clinic. Bldg. 654, built in 1943, is an 8,751 GSF facility that was originally constructed as a barracks and currently houses administrative functions. The facility is converting from its most recent use as an Administrative Building to a Health Clinic. Bldg. 652 and Bldg. 654 will provide mechanical and storage space within the basement level; patient treatment areas, staff offices, and support spaces within the first floor; and laboratory spaces, staff offices, and support spaces on the second floor. The two facilities will be linked together by a new building addition that will contain an internal staircase, elevators, and shared lobby. The provided staircase will connect the basement level, first floor, and second floor of both facilities, while also providing secured roof access to the new building addition. A shared elevator core with two elevators will provide required ABA-accessible access for both buildings. A corridor connection and elevator lobby will provide unobstructed access between the two buildings. The exterior of both buildings will require repairs including repair of damaged brick, holes, cracks, mortar repointing, and selective roof tile repair/replacement. All existing exterior walls, concrete slabs, and roof will receive new insulation, wall board, and fresh paint from the structural components, inward. Existing exterior concrete and retaining walls that show signs of spall or bowing will be removed and replaced. All windows will be replaced, and a new central air circulation system will provide cooling requirements for all spaces in lieu of window air conditioning units, which will be removed. A new HVAC system, designed to be suitable for a medical facility, will be installed. All interior materials and finishes will be removed as part of the complete internal demolition and retrofit of both buildings. The proposed interior design will meet the minimum standards outlined in UFC 3-120-10 and UFC 4-510-01, including finishes, and materials based on anticipated use, maintenance requirements, life cycle costs, fire protection and life safety requirements, and aesthetic qualities described in DHA’s Northeast Region Fabric Guide. Interior walls and ceiling finishes will also conform to the requirements of UFC 3-600-1 and NFPA 101. This project includes substantial utility work including plumbing, electrical, natural gas, stormwater, new fire suppression, and IT/communications. This project will require structural upgrades to satisfy the additional loading required by the change of occupancy. This will likely include reinforcing all floor slabs, and replacement of all flooring, subflooring, and partition walls. Existing foundations may need to be reinforced to support addition loading. This contract will be design-build. The magnitude of the project is between $10 million to $25 million. Duration of construction will be approximately 600 calendar days after Notice to Proceed.
