The Contractor shall provide services to complete renovation of Bldg. 585, MAG-31 HQ aboard the Beaufort Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort, South Carolina and consists of the following: a. Complete renovation of existing administrative areas by providing new office floor plan, secure area with vault, and restrooms/locker rooms. b. New standing seam metal roof with associated supporting metal roof structure. c. Seismic upgrade of exterior and interior masonry walls. d. New mechanical and electrical systems throughout the facility. Existing Conditions Building 585 is the current MAG-31 Headquarters facility located at the Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort, SC consisting of a single-story, concrete structure with 8 masonry infill, steel bar joists, and a lightweight concrete roof with mineral surfaced bitumen roof cover. The existing exterior walls have an EIFS (exterior insulated finish system). Asbestos containing materials and lead-based paint are present and will be abated during the renovation. Demolition The following building components will be demolished: select exterior windows and doors, interior partitions, existing restrooms, select mechanical/electrical systems, and various obstructions on interior and exterior wall faces in preparation for new finishes. Select building CMU walls/EIFS will also be cut/sliced at approximately 32 spacing to facilitate reinforcement/seismic upgrade efforts. Architectural The building will utilize the existing exterior walls and existing concrete floor. The exterior wall openings where demolished windows and doors existed will be in filled with reinforced masonry. New office and corridor walls will consist of steel stud walls with gypsum wallboard on each side. The interior side of all exterior walls will be furred and gypsum wallboard installed. New exterior doors will be steel and new interior doors will be wood, both hung in steel frames. A secure area will be added with steel mesh wall reinforcement under the gypsum board on both sides of the metal studs. A vault will be provided within the secure area constructed of 8 thick reinforced concrete and CMU. The existing flat roof will be covered with a new standing seam metal roof consisting of a metal roof truss system, bearing on the existing structure. The existing EIFS on the exterior walls will be repaired and receive a new finish coat. Structural The building's concrete masonry units (CMU) do not meet current seismic criteria. Reinforcement will be incorporated into existing CMU wall sections and will tie into the existing foundation and bond beams. A similar upgrade technique, which utilizes steel flat bar shapes and wall fasteners, will be employed where unreinforced grout filled CMU wall construction or similar construction is encountered. Additional shear walls (CMU and steel framed with plywood skin) will be constructed where new construction is provided and where it can strengthen the structure. The existing roof system will be - X braced along each exterior wall. The new standing seam metal roof system design will utilize a performance type specification with contract and referenced as-built drawings. Mechanical The new floor plan will necessitate the addition of new above ceiling water-source heat pump units and air distribution systems. The existing condenser water pump, piping to well field, DDC head-end controls, sanitary sewer system (in part), and the domestic water system (in part) will be reutilized. New plumbing fixtures will include water closets, urinals, lavatories, showers, and mop sinks. Electrical The building is served with secondary delivery voltage of 120/208V, 3 Phase. New panels, wiring, and light fixtures will be provided. The existing communications system will be reused with new telephone/data outlets added as required. A complete addressable, supervised fire alarm system will be installed.
