DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Louisville District intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) W912QR-17-R-0009 for the Renovate/Construction for New AFRL Offices, F/20254 Project.

The total project encompasses 46,600 square feet. The project will consist of the construction of approximately 9,500 square feet of new administrative space over two new elevated floors to be constructed within the footprint of the existing East high bay laboratories (Minor Construction), and the renovation of 37,100 square feet in the two floors of the north wing of the building, and the first floor and basement of the East Bay (Repair). The scope of the construction includes open office administrative space, conference rooms, and private offices designed and constructed in accordance with ICD 705 including perimeter security/alarm notification systems, security control systems and floor to ceiling sound rated interior walls. In addition the 1,725 square foot existing basement under the East Bay addition will be renovated into a storage room (included in Repair). All ceilings except for the anechoic chamber will be removed and replaced as a part of this work. The control room for the anechoic chamber shall be expanded and modernized to enhanced test control operations for the chamber.

The HVAC system within Building 254 is currently at the end of its useful life and a number of AHU's will be replaced along with replacement of the DX and air cooled chillers. There will be a conversion from steam to hot water heat exchangers and boilers to eliminate steam usage for the building. The HVAC system in the newer West Addition, constructed in 2007, will remain.
