CHAPTER 1 - PROJECT DESCRIPTION - Page 1

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project is the first of three phases intended to extend the useful life of an approximately 150 year old building currently used for manufacturing and administration. The tasks for this phase primarily focus on improving the building’s envelope, with attention to the compressed air, steam distribution, domestic water, and fire protection systems, as well as perform abatement in way of the improvements.

1.1. OBJECTIVES

The Army's objective is that buildings have a 25-year useful design life before a possible reuse/re-purpose or renovation requirement, to include normal sustainment, restoration, modernization activities and a 40-year building replacement life. Therefore, design and construction should provide an appropriate level of quality to ensure continued use of the facility over that time-period with the application of reasonable preventive maintenance and repairs.

Site infrastructure will have at least a 40-year life expectancy with industry-accepted maintenance and repair cycles.

Requirements stated in this Contract are minimums. Innovative, creative, and life cycle cost effective solutions, which meet or exceed these requirements are encouraged. Further, the OFFEROR is encouraged to seek solutions that will expedite construction (panelization, pre-engineered, etc.) and shorten the schedule.

The Government’s intent is to emphasize the placement of funds into functional/operational requirements.

Materials and methods should reflect this by choosing the most economical Type of Construction allowed by code for this occupancy/project allowing the funding to be reflected in the quality of interior/exterior finishes

CHAPTER 2 – PROJECT SCOPE - Page 2

2.1. PHASE I REPAIR SUMMARY

2.1.1. Substructure

The scope for this project includes localized floor slab repairs. Several areas of the first floor slab are infilled with upturned wood blocking and brick. The wood in these locations, estimated to comprise approximately 5% of the first floor slab area and at an estimated fifteen (15) locations throughout the facility, must be removed and replaced with concrete slab infill doweled into the surrounding slab to prevent differential settlement.

Localized geotechnical exploration is required to verify that a concrete substrate is present beneath the wood infill and to determine the sub grade condition. It is assumed based on record drawings concrete exists below this wood infill. A high strength, high impact, abrasion resistant topping or epoxy coating is required at replaced slab areas to match adjacent conditions and finish. This topping must be compatible with the concrete substrate. For reference, at the previously executed Paint Booth project, 4 concrete core samples were extracted from the existing slab on grade. Unit strength values ranged from 2,660 psi to 8,872 psi and slab thickness varied between 6” and 10” at the sampled locations. Core locations and results are included in Appendix F for reference.

2.1.2. Shell

The scope for this project includes masonry repointing, repair, and cleaning. Repoint improperly pointed mortar joints throughout the building exterior using a compatible (color, composition, and low-strength) mortar.

A mortar analysis of existing mortar by the contractor is required to establish its constitutive properties and to ensure that the replacement mortar is truly compatible. Repoint deteriorated mortar joints, replace damaged units, clean bricks to remain, and apply compatible coating over the first 4 feet up from grade at the exterior and at interior overhead doors in splash zones exposed to de-icing chemicals. Fill abandoned anchor holes in exterior and brick walls with mortar. Clean exterior masonry staining and efflorescence. Clean interior masonry surfaces of efflorescence, peeling and incompatible paint, and dirt buildup. Finish with compatible coating.

Replace exterior doors, transoms, and rolling overhead service doors that are approaching end of service life, targeting a minimum 30% improvement above ASHRAE 90.1-2019 thermal performance requirements.

Personnel doors and transom glazing is recommended to be replaced with new insulated doors, double pane glazing with a low-e coating, and thermally broken aluminum frames. Damaged sections of overhead doors should be replaced. Install new sill gaskets and patch slabs at door sills to create a weather-tight assembly.

Glazing exterior building elements must provide no less than 1/4-inch. nominal polycarbonate or laminated glass in accordance with UFC ATFP requirements.

Scope also includes reinstatement of truss anchors and braces as required to comprise a complete lateral load path; localized roof deck repairs; and localized truss reinforcement in support of new roof insulation, if required. At the East and West Annex roof trusses, reinstate missing lateral cross bracing under roof truss top chords to provide a consistent, coherent path for lateral loads. Repair details required must be developed during the design phase.

Repair the gray TPO membrane roof in select areas with observed water staining and water damage, approximately 20% of the roof area will require repair as shown on the RFP drawings. The insulation thicknesses must match existing adjacent for a uniform roofing system. Seal and solder existing brake metal coping and repaint to match existing finish and color. All gasketed sealants between coping and brickwork will be replaced in areas impacted by roof repairs. Roof areas replaced must transition to the existing adjacent insulation system to allow for a smooth transition between the existing and new roof systems.

New roof areas must be installed to transition to existing roof areas. New roofing material must be physically and chemically compatible with the existing substrate.

Areas of unsound wood deck must be replaced in kind, comprising approximately 5% of the roof area.

CHAPTER 2 – PROJECT SCOPE - Page 3

As part of the base bid scope, the Contractor’s A/E Designer of Record (Structural PE) must perform additional inspection of wood roof trusses, particularly the top chords, to provide formal recommendations for repair or replacement of deteriorated members. Refer to the D-B RFP appendix F for general truss locations and descriptions. A report must be submitted to the Contracting Officer identifying the investigations conducted, results of investigations, and recommendations.
