1.0 GENERAL

1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Request for Proposal (RFP) provides parameters for a design-build project for renovation of a fire and rescue station in Švenčionys, Lithuania; Latitude 55° 8'0.36"N, Longitude 26° 9'45.80"E (Refer to the attached Location Map.)

The Švenčionys Fire and Rescue Station is located in the south-eastern region of Lithuania. The facility was constructed in the 19th Century as a horse carriage barn. The original building was renovated in 1940 and has had multiple additions and modifications since. The main vehicle garage was added in 1994 along with a small one-story multi-purpose space. An additional two-story office space was added in 1996. Since that time, there has not been significant modernization or rehabilitation of the facility or major building components. The facility is inadequate compared to modern day standards and the current condition hinders the response capabilities and resiliency of the Fire and Rescue Service.

Fire fighters work on a 24-hour shift followed by three days off. There are 14 building occupants during the day (8 fire fighters and 6 administrative staff) and 9 at night.

The project includes the following general items of work, detailed requirements are contained elsewhere in this Statement of Work:

a. Insulate exterior walls and attic slab. Class B classification for energy consumption per EU regulation 2017/1369 of 4 July 2017 must be achieved.

Provide exterior insulation finish system (EIFS) for all exterior walls.

b. Provide exterior polymer composite board finish for the building main entry facades only (northeast and northwest building facades).

c. Replace asbestos roofs and attic insulation.

d. Replace roof gutters and downspouts.

e. Provide a perimeter drainage trench around the fire and rescue station.

f. Connect building downspouts to the municipal storm system.

g. Provide PCC apron around the fire and rescue station.

h. Replace four (4) exterior doors.

21-Mar-24 Page 3 of 43

i. Replace maintenance garage #105 windows.

j. Extension of existing heating system to service garage.

k. Replacement of the light fixtures in garage.

m. Replace flat roof membrane for half basement structure.

n. Replace existing vehicle garage exhaust extraction system with new.
