Building 606 - Advanced Notice to Contractors:

U.S. Army Engineer District, New York, CENAN-CT, 26 Federal Plaza, New York, NY 10278-0090 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a solicitation package seeking to award a firm-fixed price contract, for the renovation of Building 606, Math and System Engineering Center (MSEC), including supporting work.

Project Description:

Building 606 is approximately 119,727 gross square foot (GSF) six-story building constructed in 1923 as the Garrison’s New Cadet Hospital.  Between 1934 and 1983, the building expanded its footprint and vertical expansion on multiple occasions to reflect its current square footage. Generally, the East building is a steel frame structure with concrete floor and roof slabs that is 4-stories in height. The exterior walls are constructed of stone mass walls with limestone accents and tracery windows.The West Building is a reinforced concrete frame structure with concrete floors and roof slabs. That floor slab elevations are not aligned with the East Building's floor slab elevations beyond the second floors. The exterior walls of the West Building are constructed of concrete masonry and tan brick. Multiple repairs, additions, and expansions of the facility over time has resulted in a building with misaligned floor plates, resulting in circulation and wayfinding issues within the building. The misalignment of floor plates combined with thick mass exterior walls and a dense column grid creates a relatively inefficient gross-to-net floor are ratio of approximately 50%. The reallocation of interior spaces for the MSEC program will include auxiliary administration, instructor, support, collaborative learning, classrooms, laboratory and building support common spaces for the Mathematical Sciences and Systems Engineering Departments, which are vital for the academic program's operational needs.

This project will repair failed and failing building systems including superstructure, substructure, building envelope, doors, windows, interior walls, partitions, interior finishes, conveying systems, roofing, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, plumbing, electric power/lighting, and electrical systems, and will provide full interior reconfiguration, and remove and demolish failing systems and components.
