The project site is located at 9th and Hermosa, Del Norte, Colorado, 81132. The original building was built in 1968 with a band room addition constructed at a later date. In 2018, the Del Norte School District approached the Rio Grande National Forest with an offer to give the high school and land to the Forest Service. That year the Forest Service began preparing construction documents to renovate the high school into an office building. The Forest Service is currently soliciting a Hazardous Material Removal contract to remove hazardous material throughout the building. It is anticipated that hazardous removal will be completed December 2020. This project includes demolishing approximately 60% of the current building and associated site components. The remaining 14,400 square foot building will be renovated to comply with current building codes, federal space requirements, and other federal requirements such as Guiding Principles for sustainability. The project includes utilities, site work, and building construction and renovation. The estimated project time for this project is 18 months. The government estimated range to include the base and all option items is $5,000,000 to $10,000,000.
