Project Description:

Construct a new 40’x 80’ building.  The new building is to have office space for 2 desks plus a common area with a table for a total of 5 personnel and a unisex bathroom.  The office area is to have HVAC.  The remaining space in the building is to be a workshop and storage which has no A/C.  There are to be bay doors at each end of the building.  There is to be an additional concrete pad adjacent to the building with an optional shed cover. The new building shall have electricity, communications, water and sewer and the electricity and water are to be metered. The office shall have two computer drops and the workshop area will need to supply power for a compressor and a welder (the equipment is not a part of the design).  The site shall have sidewalks, grass and 5 stabilized grass parking spaces but no other landscaping.  Provide electrical Shore Power service (75 Kw, 3 Phase, 480 VAC) to the wharf to the east where a portion of the infrastructure has already been installed.  Provide an emergency generator to provide power to the new building and the wharf.  The asphalt pavement at the adjacent historic buildings at the Great Bridge Reservation is failing in some areas.  Determine if repaving, rebuilding, resurfacing, or regrading is required.  Enlarge the existing entry gate and asphalt approach entrance to the Great Bridge Reservation.  The shed cover, parking, gate, generator, and pavement are anticipated to be solicited as construction options.
