Room. Backfill site as required for construction of new corridor addition.

1.1.2 Corridor Construction and Building Envelope Restoration: Provide Design-Build services for a new +/- 14’-0” wide corridor addition to be connected to the three existing pre-cast interior walls of the Rescue Swimmer Pool Room. The corridor shall maintain interior building circulation and facilitate safe egress. In addition to the corridor construction, take all necessary actions to ensure the building envelope is fully restored, watertight, and appropriate for regional conditions.

1.1.3 BLDG #3 Repairs and System Restoration: Provide Design-Build services to fully restore all remaining facility functions and systems, including but not limited to HVAC, plumbing, pool circulation and sanitation, electrical, and fire safety. In addition, provide Design-

Build services for select modifications to facility systems and finishings (See Task 2, paragraph
