Renovation of a mixed-use development in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

This project consists of the removal and replacement of several ground and basement level storefront windows and doors and replacing them with ballistic rated materials. Additionally, the bronze doors at the north entry to the ground floor will be refurbished and modified to accept ballistic glazing. The Designer will be required to evaluate the conditions at all exterior openings to be affected and make recommendations as to the most efficient and historically appropriate means of removal, installation, and if needed, repairs and modifications. It is anticipated that hazardous materials abatement will be necessary in order to complete the work. Designers fee takes into account the scope of basic services as well as the environmental design scope. Designer shall be responsible for comprehensive ampling, testing, design of hazardous materials abatement and air monitoring during the abatement. Third party sampling, testing and air monitoring during construction administration will be a reimbursable expense. The State Capitol Building is included on the National Register of Historic Places and the Designer will be required to follow all standards as outlined in The Secretary of the Interiors Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties in coordination with the Louisiana State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The State Capitol will remain open to the public during design and construction, with construction phased to have minimal impacts on the users. Contract design time is 250 consecutive calendar days; including 83 days review time. Thereafter, liquidated damages in the amount of $125.00 per day will be assessed.
