Renovation of a military facility in Waterbury, Connecticut. Completed plans call for the renovation of a military facility.

Grace Congregate Housing Corporation ("GCHC") is seeking a qualified firm to serve as Construction Manager for its proposed renovation of Grace House (the "Project"). GCHC is requesting a "Statement of Qualifications and Response to Request for Proposals" from interested parties for the Project. The Project is anticipated to be funded primarily with funding from the Department of Economic & Community Development Community Investment Fund, with additional ARPA funding from the Waterbury Community Services Investment Program (WCSIP). Prior successful experience working with US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) multifamily affordable housing development rehabilitation projects funded by federal grants is mandatory to qualify for consideration for the Project. Project Summary Grace House is a forty (40) unit affordable housing development serving residents age 62 and older. The four-story building is comprised of all onebedroom apartments and is serviced by an elevator. The property is located at 25 Abbott Terrace, Waterbury. The proposed rehabilitation includes work related to the exterior building and building units. The capital improvements proposed include four distinct areas of the community: the building roof, the building exterior masonry, the installation of new energyefficient windows, and replacement of kitchen cabinets, countertops, and sinks in all residential units. The building has a flat roof system which is original to the building and is currently failing, allowing water infiltration in severe weather. The proposed roof replacement includes all areas of the entire flat main roof, the addition of the two elevator tops, and the stairwell roof. The scope of work includes replacement of all roof decking, installation of a new EPDM roof with a 20-year warranty, and foam insulation. The scope of work for the building exterior masonry is to address the failing vertical separation joints as well as the horizontal joints that exist on the building. It includes removal of all existing masonry joints and installation of new joints with water resistant backers and fillers. The complete power washing of the building to address areas of staining and replacement of any failed brickwork. The scope of work for the window replacements includes replacement of all building windows utilizing the existing metal frames. The new windows will be vinyl double hung windows in white as a retrofit window which avoids damage to the building stucco. The final project includes the replacement of the cabinets, countertops, and sinks in all residential units. The renovations will provide residents with adaptable kitchens which can easily be retrofit for accommodations due to aging and provide residents with an improved environment for both food preparation and storage. Preliminary construction cost estimates, based upon initial third-party quotes, were approximately $1 million.
