Project Description:
Project Conditions (see samples below, tailor/add/delete per project - work with PM/PS, note any logistical/cultural/historic considerations here):
The project is located at Boston National Park, Boston, MA.
The construction magnitude is greater than $10 million - mandatory.
The surrounding area is urban with limited staging located at 15 State Stree, Boston, MA 02109-3502.
Note any unique material delivery requirements.
The construction site is 50 of miles from nearest suppliers and lodging facilities.
The building will not remain open during construction, thus contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize visitor impact.
The site requires protective measures to ensure the surrounding area remains undisturbed.
The structure is a historic/cultural resource.
The anticipated period of performance of 791 calendar days including any potential weather shutdown.
There are seasonal/other shutdowns mandated through the construction season.
Winter construction may be required.
The staging and laydown areas will be limited.
Project Scope:
Heat for the Easton Building is currently supplied through a steam system provided by Boston Municipal Distributed Steam. The system is aging, and prone to steam leaks and have caused saturation of the masonry materials encasing the steel superstructure; causing moisture to accelerate corrosion and further the existing exfoliation of the structural steel. There is not an existing heat generating system within the building.
The project will consists of:
· Removal of an existing steam heat system and installation of a new steam heat exchanger system, including replacing the building-wide distribution piping.
· Replacement of an emergency power generator that provides power for elevators, protection systems, and emergency lighting.
· Replace fluorescent lighting electric ballast and bulbs with LED fixtures with lighting controls.
· Repair of corrosion-caused damaged to the steek frame and repair of façade stone and masonry brick. Work includes removal and replacement of a basement ceiling and the pedestrian sidewalk above it and associated structural framing, and installation of an Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) system to prevent further corrosion of the steel superstructure.
· Rehabilitation of granite façade includes rake and repoint, repair, cleaning, replacing veneer panels, windowsills, window heads and jack arches. Work will remove wythe brick to ensure secure anchorage of facade stones.
· Window rehabilitation includes installation of steel lintels, paint double hung wood sashes/frames, and monumental cast iron fenestration and remove and replace suspected asbestos laden window frame caulk.
