Renovation of a fire / police facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Completed plans call for the renovation of a 28,000-square-foot fire / police facility.

Summary The City of Pittsburgh Office of Management and Budget, on behalf of the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Facilities, in conjunction with the Department of Public Safety, is soliciting bids from qualified vendors for construction services related to the interior renovation of existing Fire Station 8 at 161 (149) N. Euclid Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206. Background Due to the nature of the Public Safety program, aspects of the project are confidential in nature. Contractors wishing to bid on the project will be required to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement, attached, before the copies of plans and project manuals will be made available to them. This is a busy, active station, which will be closed for the duration of the project. Firefighters will not be relocated until work is ready to begin and Contractors will need to adhere to the project timeline to avoid any adverse effects to the community and the Bureau of Fire. Road construction work on Euclid is underway or nearing completion. Any new site or road work affecting the completed construction will be brought back to standards as approved by the City of Pittsburgh, Department of Mobility and Infrastructure. The existing three-story + basement combined Police & Fire Station located in East Liberty is approximately 28,000 square feet, not including the surrounding site, and will be renovated to better support modern public safety operations. In 2019 masonry repair work was conducted, and the roof replaced with a high-performance roof. While some roof work is required to accommodate new mechanical, and exterior cladding of stair tower, and the courtroom and elevator penthouses, it will be done in keeping with the present warranty. The work scope is a deep energy retrofit, which is to include new mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire suppression, insulation, utility coordination and addition of new exterior emergency generator, and other required site equipment. Some work to the exterior envelope to include overcladding at roof-level bulkheads, the replacement and addition of windows, and spot cleaning of the masonry facade will be required. New exterior lighting and restoration of the existing exterior elements will also be required. Materials original to the building will be retained and reused wherever possible and as noted on plans. The historic courtroom on the third floor will undergo a sensitive renovation with respect to existing elements. All known ACM based on the attached 2018 Limited Asbestos Building Materials Survey has been abated.
