C1DZ--618-20-111, Renovate B223 for Pandemic Storage COVID-19 Design-Build

The project 618-20-111, Renovate B223 for Pandemic Storage (design-build), will completely renovate Building 223 to include both interior and exterior spaces; windows, doors, roofing, and grounds. The building will be sectioned off into three distinct areas:

1. Plan west section will be semi-conditioned storage space for VA Minneapolis Facilities Engineering. This will require minimal heating to prevent temperatures from dropping below 40°s, ventilation to exhaust vehicle fumes, as well as summertime heat.

2. The plan east section will be conditioned storage space for VA Minneapolis Logistics, with ample pallet racking. Temperatures shall be maintained above 60° in the winter, and below 80° in the summer. This will include the reconstruction of the existing exterior stair access. Construction of an administrative space, formally exterior storage room, above the abandoned coal bin.

3. Finally, the center section will be conditioned storage for temperature and humidity sensitive Logistics and pandemic supplies. This area shall be sealed off from the other spaces to prevent exhaust fumes from entering and shall have pallet storage for bulk supplies, as well as secure storage cages for IT equipment. Awarded contract 36C26321C0106 to DAX GBAB JV 3, LLC for 5814435.00000000 on 2021-08-24.
