SRDC wants to begin implementation of Phase I early in 2024 to comply with various grant requirements and to aid in the raising of funds for future phases. Phase I allows SRDC to bring the property into environmental and code compliance while expending the grant funds that it has been awarded to date. Teams providing the most efficient path to this goal will be prioritized. 1) Teams should review available plans and performance specifications and propose in a short narrative how they would prioritize the development of bid packages based on plans in hand. For example, the Owner currently feels that the following could be bid based on existing information: o Exterior civil/site package o Asbestos Remediation (interior) o New electrical service (design-build) 2) A performance specification for sprinklers suitable for bid is available for design-build bid. However, a demolition plan must be developed and implemented before it can be fully installed to serve the intended building uses. The proposal response should outline the resources and timing required to accomplish this task. 3) One or more visits with state code officials will be required to coordinate egress path and fire alarm improvements required to bring the building into code compliance. 4) A complete architectural design services for the installation of a new elevator (prepare and construct a shaft, install elevator) as a stand-alone project. 5) Provide building envelope and energy modeling services to identify base load building needs. Prepare a performance spec sufficient for design-build bidding of electric boilers to support the base building load.
