BOTETOURT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURTHOUSE

Released: October 21, 2024

Botetourt County is soliciting sealed bids from pre-qualified General Contractors. The project consists of the following:

1. Demolition of the current courthouse building, the community building, and the "old" public works building.

2. On the Courthouse Square, existing utilities including power, fiber, gas, water, and sewer will be relocated/rerouted. Grading/rock removal and portion of a concrete retaining wall will be installed to create a location for a new parking lot and a relocated historic law office/hotel building (the “LOH”).

3. Prior to relocation of the historic building, the proposed foundation will need to be dug in accordance with the requirements of the building relocation subcontractor prequalified by the County. In addition, a temporary road must be constructed in accordance with the requirements of the building relocation subcontractor.

4. The two-story LOH will be prepared and relocated on the existing Courthouse Square. Botetourt County has already prequalified a building relocation contractor who will be utilized within the selected general contractor’s team. Once the building is relocated, a new masonry foundation will be installed.

5. In addition to relocating the LOH, a historic monument and related artifacts will also be relocated by the same prequalified building relocation subcontractor.

6. Limited area site work, landscaping (including hardscaping), fencing, parking lighting, and other site preparation for construction are part of this work.

7. A new courthouse building will be built on the demolished courthouse site where the new front facade and front wing will match that of the old, demolished courthouse.

The new building will consist of two stories and a basement level with a total floor area of approximately 40,420 s.f. The basement level will be separated where the judge’s secured parking entrance will be located on the rear (north) side along with the sally port and secured detainee holding area. The remaining basement area will be for mechanical equipment. The first floor will serve as the public entry where half of the building will serve as the Clerk's Office and the other half will serve as the office for

the Commonwealth Attorney. The second floor will contain the Hearing Courtroom and the Jury Trial Courtroom with a public waiting area in the front of the building and the judge’s chambers to the rear of the courtrooms. The three levels will have two CMU-enclosed stairs and three CMU-enclosed elevators. Two elevators will serve all three levels, while one will only stop at the basement and second floor to be used for detainee transfer. The sub-structure and super-structure will be a combination of concrete, CMU, and steel frame construction. The building envelope will be finished with stone, brick veneer, aluminum-clad windows, hollow metal framed doors, fiberglass reinforced polymer columns and trim, metal railings, pitched metal roofing, and low-sloped EPDM rubber roofing. The basement level interior will consist of concrete slab on grade, CMU wall partitions, metal stud walls w/ GWB finish, hollow metal framed openings, and acoustic ceiling tile ceilings (secured in the detainee area). Specific secure areas will be protected with ballistic panels. The first level interior will be finished with elevated concrete slabs with terrazzo, porcelain tile, luxury vinyl tile, and carpet tile floors;

metal stud walls finished with GWB, wood trim or paneling, and ceramic tile; ceilings will be finished with GWB and acoustic ceiling tile. The building will be equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler and security system.
