Renovation of an educational facility in Mount Airy, Maryland. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Frederick County Public Schools is soliciting Design-Build services for limited renovation of Twin Ridge Elementary School (ES). Twin Ridge ES is located at 1106 Leafy Hollow Circle, Mt. Airy, MD 21771. Located on 17 acres, Twin Ridge ES was originally constructed in 1992 and has had no renovations or additions. The building is approximately 68,900 gross square feet. The school currently serves students in grades pre-K through 5 and has a state rated capacity of 681 students. Question Deadline: 01/02/2024 at 4:00 PM ET, should you have questions about this RFP, they need to be submitted in writing to kim.miskell@fcps.org so that all questions and answers may be shared via an addendum. Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Kim Miskell at (301) 644-5208. A facility and program assessment was completed in spring 2023 to determine opportunities for limited renovations at Twin Ridge ES. The study analyzed the condition of all building systems to recommend projects that would extend the life of the building for 20 to 30 years. The current space usage was also compared to the current Board of Education (BOE) approved elementary educational specifications as scaled for the size of the building, which led to the development of a test-fit option. A summary of the desired scope follows. The full facility assessment and educational specifications will be provided to firms invited to submit a full technical and fee proposal. After incorporating missing program spaces within the buildings, FCPS anticipates that the SRC of the building will be approximately 644 at the completion of the project. The limited renovation will address the most critical systems throughout the building: o Architectural o Structural o Mechanical o Lighting o Electrical o Plumbing o Fire Safety o Communication Design and permitting of the project are expected to begin in July 2024 upon award of the Design-Build contract and continue through May 2025. The majority of the Phase 1 construction work will occur over the 8-week summer break between June and August 2025 but may also occur during student breaks and when the work will not disrupt the students' education. Similarly, the second phase of construction would occur over the 8-week summer break between June and August 2026 or during student breaks. The estimated budget for this project is $18.5 million.
