About this file

This document contains the plans and specifications for the repair and addition to the Fire Crash Rescue Station Building 510 at Volk Field, Camp Douglas, Wisconsin. The project involves constructing a new 3,430 SF facility addition and renovating approximately 15,970 SF of the existing facility. Key work includes demolition, site utilities/grading/paving, new mechanical/electrical/plumbing/technology systems, and architectural finish upgrades. The project is being solicited as a single construction contract under full and open competition with a NAICS code of 236220 and a magnitude between $5-10 million. The contract duration is 365 calendar days after notice to proceed. Brand name products required include the Advantor Security System and Monaco Vulcan Fire Alarm Panels. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible lowest bidder.
