About this file

This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the design and construction of a Mental Health Clinic for Children in Kutaisi, Georgia, prepared by the US Army Corps of Engineers Europe District. The project involves constructing a new one-story, solid masonry building with sloped roof to serve as a treatment center for up to 350 children with mental disabilities, primarily autism, ages 3-18.

The facility requires complete design-build services including civil, architectural, structural, electrical/communications, mechanical/plumbing, and fire protection systems. Key components include a heating system using natural gas boilers, LED lighting, mechanical ventilation, domestic water and sanitary systems, and a fire alarm system. The building will feature rehab rooms, offices, training rooms, a sports activity room, kitchen/break area, and supporting facilities. External work includes parking for 50 vehicles, outdoor green space with weather protection, playground equipment appropriate for the age group, and perimeter fencing. The contractor must follow Host Nation building codes where applicable, with International Building Code (IBC) serving as backup standards. The project includes three design submission phases (65%, 95%, and 100%) with specific deliverable requirements for each discipline. Design work is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2025, with design submittals required in December 2024.
