REPAIR MACDONOUGH HALL BUILDING 102, U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY, ANNAPOLIS, MD

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Washington has a firm fixed-price construction requirement for the repair of MacDonough Hall, Building 102 (Design-Bid-Build) at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Due to the critical schedule and high-visibility nature of this project, the procurement will utilize a Prequalification Phase and a Final Phase. The intent is to solicit the most highly qualified contractor that offers the lowest risk for quality performance, lowest risk for meeting the project's tight schedule, optimal commitment and actual use of small businesses and strong management oversight. TITLE: REPAIR MACDONOUGH HALL, BUILDING 102, U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY, ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND PROJECT DISCRIPTION: MacDonough Hall is a 128,000 square feet, 6-story (2 full and 4 partial), granite and steel structure on the Historic Registry. Originally constructed in 1903 and last renovated in 1982, the building needs extensive renovations and repairs. MacDonough Hall is the home of the Physical Education Department at the U.S. Naval Academy. The facility is used to prepare midshipmen physically to become professional Navy and Marine Corps Officers. The MacDonough Hall facility provides the platform for course instruction in swimming, personal defense, recreational sports and wellness; as well as the administration of Physical Readiness Testing which will be on-going in the swing space. The project will replace the 157,000 gallon training pool and treatment system, provide upgrades to the HVAC system and controls, replace the Mercury-impregnated floor coating, abate asbestos and lead paint, upgrade the electrical system, upgrade the fire suppression system, make structural modifications and improvements, upgrade the plumbing and drainage system, and make exterior architectural and envelope repairs. The project also includes the disassembly of temporary operational spaces and the renovation and repairs, and has a construction/renovation period of 1,030 calendar days (2.8 years). Historically, long-term construction projects in older facilities have multiple unscheduled delays, therefore 60 additional calendar days are added to the construction schedule; bringing the estimated construction period to 1,090 days or 2.98 years.
