Demolition, environmental remediation, asbestos abatement and renovation of a municipal facility in Kings Park, New York. Conceptual plans call for the demolition of a municipal facility; for the renovation of a municipal facility; for environmental remediation for a municipal facility; and for asbestos abatement for a municipal facility.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation (OPRHP) is soliciting proposals from qualified and registered engineering and architectural firms to lead a multi-disciplinary team to provide engineering, hazardous waste abatement, demolition, and landscape services that supports OPRHP through regulatory review and planning for the future of Building 93 at Nissequogue River State Park. The project shall assess existing conditions and prepare technical studies, alternative analyses, and phased design deliverables necessary to advance environmental and historic preservation approvals in accordance with State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) and Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act (SHPA) in consultation with the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Potential project outcomes may include full removal, partial retention, mothballing, or adaptive reuse, to be determined through regulatory processes. CR Number:2125719 Building 93 is a 13-story former hospital infirmary constructed between 1939 and 1941 on the grounds of the former Kings Park Psychiatric Center. Designed in the Georgian Revival style by state architect William E. Haugaard, the structure is eligible for listing on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and is one of the most prominent and recognizable buildings within Nissequogue River State Park. The building has been vacant since the early 1990s and has undergone significant deterioration due to exposure, deferred maintenance, and vandalism. A structural survey conducted in 2009 identified unsafe conditions, including loose masonry facade hazards that could result in potentially unsafe conditions below. Despite measures taken to secure the site from illegal entry, including fencing, window boarding, and staff patrols, unauthorized access and trespassing continue to pose safety risks to both the public, park personnel and emergency responders. The structure currently presents a liability in terms of falling debris, potential collapse, and fire hazard. Environmental assessments available for reference have confirmed the widespread presence of hazardous materials throughout Building 93, including asbestos-containing materials, lead-based paint, and PCB-containing light fixtures. These materials require comprehensive abatement in accordance with all applicable federal and state regulations prior to any potential removals or reuse. The demolition of Building 93 was selected as the preferred alternative in the Nissequogue River State Park Master Plan (Master Plan); however, OPRHP has yet to conduct review under SEQR and SHPA nor make a final decision as to the project outcome. The selected consultant will assist OPRHP in evaluating the full range of options and preparing visual and technical materials necessary to support regulatory review and future agency determinations. As per the master plan, this area will be incorporated into a future multi-use green space, with opportunities for interpretation that acknowledge the historic use of the property. The selected consultant shall lead a multidisciplinary team to deliver professional services required for the future of Building 93, which may include phased abatement, demolition, and restoration. Services shall cover all necessary investigation, design, regulatory coordination, construction support, and oversight to advance the project through completion. The RFQ should highlight the proposer's experience in the following areas: Hazardous materials assessment and abatement and demolition of large institutional buildings Structural evaluation and demolition planning for high-rise or compromised structures Regulatory review and permitting, including preparation of a Visual Impact Assessment Projects involving historic structures and SHPO coordination Site restoration and landscape integration following demolition Hazardous material monitoring during abatement and demolition The scope of work includes, but is not limited to: Supplemental Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and, if necessary, Phase II investigation Hazardous materials survey and inventory (asbestos, lead, PCBs, universal waste, refrigerants, etc.) Development of abatement design documents in compliance with federal and state regulations Structural integrity assessment of Building 93 and associated tunnels Plan for interpretation of historical use of the site, consultant to be If required, develop a historic preservation mitigation plan in consultation with OPRHP and the Region utilizing a SOI qualified for Historic Architecture A set of current exterior and, if possible, interior photographs keyed to site and floor plans Preparation of documentation to support OPRHP's review under SEQR, including a Visual Impact Assessment of alternatives consistent with the adopted Master Plan In consultation with SHPO, an Alternative Analysis document considering full removal, partial retention, mothballing, and adaptive reuse including supporting details such as visual renderings, structural implications, rehabilitation costs, code compliance, building conditions, and other related information If the selected alternative results in an adverse impact, support OPRHP-directed mitigation measures for items such as retention, interpretative signage or archival documentation. Utility disconnection coordination and site surveying Preparation of phased design drawings and specifications with 60%, 90%, and 100% submittals Cost estimating at key design milestones, including value engineering support Bid-phase support including pre-bid meetings, RFIs, and bid evaluation Construction phase services including full-time abatement monitoring and part-time demolition oversight Implementation of Community Air Monitoring Plan (CAMP) during all intrusive field activities Final inspections, closeout documentation, and preparation of operations and maintenance summaries Regular meetings and coordination with OPRHP and regulatory authorities If structural evaluation indicates that interior access for conventional abatement is unsafe or unfeasible, the consultant shall develop alternate approaches that comply with all applicable environmental and regulatory standards. This includes but is not limited to consideration of demolition with hazardous materials in place, followed by off-site or controlled on-site remediation of debris. Abatement design must account for both conventional and alternative scenarios based on structural findings.
