SECTION 011000 – SUMMARY 2

1. Conversion of the existing Doyle Fire Station building into the site’s Fitness Center: The existing Doyle Fire Station Building is to be converted to a Fitness Center and Winter Storage building. The existing building consists of a 4-bay fire truck building with a 5th “bay” housing office space, a small workout area and capped with a storage mezzanine.

The enclosed rooms and mezzanine structure within the building is to be demolished and the entire west end of the building opened up for use as the Fitness Center. The electric panel for the building is located within an existing demising wall with conduit and electrical service lines feeding up from below. This section of wall is to be retained and a new electrical service closet constructed to enclose the panel (as well as other equipment).

2. New walls along the exterior perimeter are to be constructed to protect the pre-engineered metal building walls and building insulation. A new dividing wall is to be constructed between the west-most bay with an overhead door and the next bay to the east. The demising wall will define the Fitness Center space from the Winter Storage space in the existing building. This work and other work are indicated in these specification and the accompanying design drawings.

B. Type of Contract:

1. Project will be constructed under a single prime contract concurrent with the construction of the new Fire Station to the west on the same site.

1.4 PHASED CONSTRUCTION

A. The work to convert the existing building into the new Fitness Center is to occur after the completion of the new Fire Station. The contractor is to complete the new Fire Station, the BLM will move into the new building vacating the existing building, then the contractor may commence the work to convert the existing. Scheduling is somewhat flexible, but the existing building is to remain in operation until the new building is operational. The Contractor is to work with the local staff to determine final construction scheduling.
