2. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Engineers: Jade Stone Engineering

3. Fire Protection Engineer: RAN Engineering

4. Exhibit Design: Hadley Exhibits Inc.

E. Background: The Great Lakes Seaway Development Corporation (Corporation) is a wholly owned U.S. Government corporation within the U.S. Department of Transportation which owns and operates that portion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in U.S. territorial waters between Lake Ontario and Montreal, Canada. The Corporation’s mission is to facilitate the safe and efficient passage of commercial vessels through the Seaway. A major part of this function is the operation and maintenance of the Eisenhower and Snell Locks located in Massena, New York. These locks were constructed in the 1950’s and opened to deep draft navigation in 1959. Soon after the locks opened, a Visitors’ Center was constructed in the early 1960’s at the south side of Eisenhower Lock. This facility is visited by an average of 50,000 visitors per year to watch ships pass through the Eisenhower Lock. Designs, specifications, and drawings were completed for a Security/Restroom Building at the site of the Eisenhower Lock Visitors’ Center, and it was constructed in 2014.

F. Task Scope: The Project consists of demolition of the existing Visitors' Center and to replace it with a new Visitor's Center to include the latest federal sustainable building design requirements, the design of static and interactive displays to be housed in the new facility and the development of the exterior green space for use by visitors.

1. The plan is for the existing Visitors’ Center to remain open until construction is completed on the new facility and it is ready to be opened to the public. The new Visitors’ Center shall be connected by a breezeway to the Security/Restroom Building. It will be necessary
