Project Description: The 689 Massachusetts Avenue project is a 35,500 s.f. Building designed by William E. Chamberlain and Clarence H. Blackhall constructed in 1904. The building is limestone clad, a three-story tall beaux-arts style building structure plus a basement. The building use prior to the City of Cambridge purchase was a bank and law offices on the first floor, office spaces on the second and third floor, one half of the basement was also office space. There is also a small penthouse above the roof. In the spring of 2023 the City painted and carpeted the third floor, the eastern half of the first floor, and the office level in the basement. This work is being performed and completed in the early summer of 2023. These areas shall have city workers occupying the basement and first floor levels, the third floor is a tenant of the City. Phasing will be an essential component of this project. The City's architect is Cambridge Seven Associates (C7A). C7A has many consultants working and reporting directly to them. The City will engage a Commissioning Agent for this project. A Limited Hazardous Building Materials Inspection was performed by Fuss and O'Neil in March of 2023 and is available in this RFQ. The project design is intended to be a net-zero emissions (All electric) building and will target LEED Gold. The project may include a solar photovoltaic array and electric vehicle charging station(s). C7A is presently in the Schematic Design Phase for the interior renovations which shall include replacement of all heat pumps and control systems. There shall be interior selective demolition in all spaces including the recently carpeted and painted areas on the third, first and basement levels. The intent is to get the CMaR under contract early in the design to aid in coordinating phasing of the recently painted and carpeted occupied spaces. The CMaR shall be responsible for performing building renovations of the entire building with portions of the building occupied. The City expects to revise electrical systems as required, the HVAC renovations will occur on occupied and unoccupied sections of the building. The scope of work shall include interior building modifications, a new building security system, ADA upgrades, replacement of the third floor Fire Protection System that is presently a dry system being converted to a wet system with an added fire pump. Modifications to the existing Fire Protection system in the other portions of the building shall be to suit the redesign of the floor layouts. There shall be demolition of an existing stair from the second to third floor with an infill of the area creating additional third floor square footage. The project shall include a complete roof replacement and some exterior restoration. Elevator replacement and or modifications shall be part of the scope of work. The project shall include many other trade bidders required to complete the interior and exterior renovations. It is presently anticipated that there may be minimal sitework modifications. The City of Cambridge has staff employed as an Owners Project Manager (OPM) who will be the direct contact for the CMaR firm after execution of the contract. The City's OPM and staff shall be interfacing between the architect and CMaR firm during pre-construction services and shall be on site monitoring site work and construction from the start through final project completion of each phase.
