Demolition and Construction of Thayer Hall at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, is soliciting qualifications for the demolition and construction of Thayer Hall at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. This project is structured as a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2808a. This FAR-exempt procurement model integrates the general contractor during the design phase to provide critical input on constructability, operability, cost, and value engineering. The project will be executed in phases, with separate Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) structures to be negotiated for demolition and construction services. Key technical requirements include the salvage of 25,000 square feet of local gneiss stone and the removal of all remaining equipment and e-waste. The project timeline involves several design milestones, with a 35% concept expected by November 20, 2026, and a 65% preliminary design due approximately 150 days thereafter. Compliance mandates include adherence to EM 385-1-1 safety standards, the Davis-Bacon Act for wage requirements, and the Buy American Act. The builder is responsible for maintaining all property at their own expense and must provide proof of bonding capability. Proposals are due by September 24, 2026, and must include a qualifications narrative, a constructability report, and a risk register.
