Repair Building 785

The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) intends to issue a solicitation package seeking to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to Repair Building 785 at the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY.

Project Description:

Repair Building 785 to provide a Defense Health Agency (DHA)/Medical Command (MEDCOM)-certified Dental Clinic for the US Army Dental Activity Command (DENTAC) to accomplish its mission to “provide safe, quality, evidence-based dental care to ensure the sustained readiness of the Service members and cadets in [their] care.” The DENTAC Headquarters and dental clinic are currently located in Building 606, which is scheduled to undergo renovation in 2024 as a part of the installation-wide Academic Building Upgrade Program (ABUP) initiative and will be converted to academic space. The DENTAC functions will be displaced by that project.

Building 785, built in 1974, is a 19,400 gross square foot facility that was originally constructed as a Bachelor Officer Quarters and is converting from its most recent use as a Temporary Lodging Facility to a Dental Clinic. Building 785 is not a MEDCOM/DHA-certified facility and its current configuration and building systems are not conducive to accommodate a Dental Clinic.

This project repairs the failing superstructure, substructure, exterior closure, doors and windows, interior walls and partitions, interior finishes, conveying systems, plumbing, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), fire protection systems, electric power/lighting, and electrical systems. An increase in external dimensions is required to provide elevators, public restrooms, internal stairs, mechanical equipment enclosure. The project requires structural reinforcement and adjustment of existing floor slabs to accommodate increased occupancy loads, to provide sufficient floor to ceiling clearance, and to realign split levels. A mechanical room addition as well as a new atrium elevator space is part of this project.

The north end of the first floor will be designated for the Command Suite, Staff/Administration offices, and Dental Clinic support spaces. The entire second floor structure will function as the Dental Clinic and include associated specialized spaces.

Upon award of the contract, the contractor will be required to commence within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed date. Duration of the project will be approximately 600 calendar days after Notice to Proceed. Construction award is anticipated in September 2022 and be completed by April 2023.

The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 236220 – Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The magnitude of this construction is estimated to cost between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000.

Liquidated Damages of approximately $4,100 per calendar day of delay will be assessed to the contractor until all work under the contract is accepted as complete.

This procurement is set aside for Full and Open Competition.
