The Project Will Include Various Types Of Horizontal And Vertical Scope, Including Architectural, Interior Design, Mechanical, Electrical, Exterior Envelope, Structure, Fire Protection, And Site Improvements. Sijan Hall (building 2348) Is The Second Of The Two Cadet Dormitory Buildings At The United States Air Force Academy, Located In Colorado Springs, Colorado, And Construction Was Completed In 1968. The Primary Function Of Sijan Hall Is A Dormitory For Cadets And Was Designed To House 2,520 Students In 1968; Currently There Are 1,926 Cadets That Occupy Sijan. several Other Ancillary Functions Are Also Housed In Sijan Hall. This Six-story Building Is Located On The South Side Of The Cadet Area. The Facility With Approximately 625,300 Square Feet Is Listed As A Part Of The Air Force Academy’s National Historic District. the Renovation Of Sijan Hall Will Be Broken Up Into Five (5) Stand-alone Phases, With Each Phase To Be Constructed Independently, To Accommodate The Relocation Of Displaced Cadets And Thus Allow The Remainder Of The Building To Be Open And Operational As Each Phase Is Being Renovated. No Disruptions To Functions Will Be Permitted To The Phases And Portions Of The Building That Are Not Being Renovated. The Focus Of This Pla Survey Is Limited To Phase 1 Which Includes The Renovation Of Approximately 135,000 Sf Of The Building Representing Phase 1. Phase 1 Will Be Solicited As A 100% Design And Will Include, But Not Be Limited To: Interior Renovations, Exterior Curtain Wall Replacement, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Life Safety, Energy Management, Any Associated Exterior And Utility Work, And Communication Systems. Other Portions Of The Building Will Be Occupied During Performance Of Work Under Phase 1. Sijan Hall Currently Does Not Meet The Latest Usafa Design Standards, So The Design To Be Constructed Under Phase 1 Will Ensure That Items Replaced Or Upgraded Comply With The Current Usafa Design Standards. Most Of The Existing Building Systems Have Exceeded Their Useful Life And Will Be Removed And Replaced As Part Of This Project. Repairs To The Facility Are Required To Address Repetitive System Maintenance, Prevent Further Deterioration Of The Building’s Systems, Components, And Infrastructure, And Facilitate Future Maintenance Of All New Building Systems And Infrastructure. The Building’s Exterior Envelope And Systems Will Need To Be Modernized To Meet The Requirements Of Unified Facilities Criteria (ufc) 1-200-02, High Performance And Sustainable Building Requirements. phase 1 Renovation Will Address Interior Renovations, New Architectural Finishes And Interior Upgrades, Interior Work Brought Down To The Structure And Rebuilt Per Usafa Standards, The Removal And Abatement Of Asbestos Containing Materials And Lead Based Paint. Phase 1 Will Also Include Removal And Replacement Of All Exterior Curtain Wall Systems Within The Boundary Of Phase 1, And Will Provide All Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, And Fire Protection Work Back To The Mechanical Room(s) That Serve The Areas Within Phase 1. Phase 1 Will Also Involve Installing Building Systems To Include Mechanical, Plumbing, Low Voltage, Electrical And Communication Systems; For Example, Isolation Valves And Bypass Capability On The High Temperature Hot Water (hthw) System So Each Mechanical And Plumbing Zone Will Be Independently Isolated. In Addition, Phase 1 Will Include The Replacement Of Three (3) Substations. A Ground Source Heat Pump System Will Be Used For All Phases Of The Sijan Hall Renovation, With Phase 1 Providing The Entire Well Field, Including 160 6” Wells Drilled To Approx. 400+’. This Well Field Will Be Located South Of Sijan Hall And Placed In The Sloped Hillside North Of The Cadet Parking Lot. The Roof Of Sijan Hall Has Been Completely Replaced And Therefore Is Excluded From The Scope Of Work; However, Isolated Repairs May Be Required For Roof Penetrations Associated With Phase 1 Work. the Overall Intent Of This Project Is To Bring The Facility Up To Code. Where Non-code Compliant Building Construction, Components, And Features Are Identified By The Life Safety And Building Code Analysis, They Will Be Corrected As Part Of The Project Construction. As Part Of The Life Safety And Building Code Analysis, The Construction Type Of The Facility Shall Be Identified. The Current Construction Type Will Comply With The International Building Code (ibc) 2018 And Applicable Ufc, Nfpa And Ada. Sijan Hall Will Be Used Primarily As A Dormitory And Will Be Classified As A Residential Group R-2. The Building Will Also Consist Of Small Accessory Assembly And Office Spaces (i.e., Individual Offices And Barber Shop). These Assembly And Office Spaces Will Be Individually Classified Per Sections 302.1 And 508.2 Of The Ibc. All Current Codes, Ufc’s And Usafa Standards Will Be Incorporated Into The Final Product. The Existing Facility Does Not Comply With Ufc 3-600-01, Fire Protection Engineering For Facilities, But Shall Be Brought To Compliance With This Ufc As Part Of This Project. This Ufc Requires Complete Sprinkler Protection Regardless Of Floor Area Or Construction Type. Also, Temporary Fire Rated Barriers Will Be Necessary To Protect Occupied Spaces From Construction Areas. dfars 236.204, Disclosure Of The Magnitude Of Construction Projects: The Estimated Construction Cost Of This Project Is Between $100,000,000 And $250,000,000. the Estimated Period Of Performance Is 730 Calendar Days.

Details: The primary school of the Rheinsberg educational campus is located at Kiefernweg 5 in 16381 Rheinsberg. The primary school's sports hall is still located on the site, but is not the subject of this renovation measure. The property is of the Erfurt Ts 66/69 building type with a gross floor area of approx. 3,834 m². The school building consists of two wings that are connected to one another by a crossbar. The maximum dimensions of the school building are approx. 58.78m in the crossbar at its greatest extent and approx. 31.76m in depth. The property can be divided into 3 building sections: Part A: Large crossbar Part B: Connector Part C: Small crossbar The school building has four above-ground floors in part A (ground floor to 3rd floor). The connector (part B) and part C consist of 3 above-ground floors (ground floor - 2nd floor). Only part C of the school building has a full basement. This is where the heat supply handover point is located as a substation. The main connection for the district heating is in the sports hall. From there, the school is supplied via a heat route. The basement area can be reached via one of the stairwells. In part C of the building, the previous main drinking water connection for supplying the building is located under the stairs. Parts B and C of the building only have one crawl space. This is where the supply lines for the drinking water and heat media for these sections of the building are brought in, as well as the disposal lines for the waste water. The waste water is led out of the building via a short route. The school has a total of 5 connection points to the drainage network (3 in part C and 2 in part A). The following measures are to be implemented using the materials advertised: - Complete renewal of the heat transfer incl. Control - Maintaining the pressure of the secondary network - Renewing the heat distribution network - Replacing the radiators and control - Decentralized hot water supply - Reinstalling the cold water network - Reinstalling the wastewater system - Installing a grease separator/lifting system - Installing a lifting system for new toilet areas - Building new toilet rooms for students and teachers - Ventilating windowless areas - Kitchen ventilation - Dismantling and demolition work for old supply technology in the HLS trade (including distribution networks, risers and connecting lines, as well as objects), including partition walls/toilet partitions - Disposal of rubble materials or objects The conversion of the school will take place while operations are ongoing. For the most part, the holidays are to be used for the essential measures. However, it is essential to use the opportunity (outside of class times) to carry out preparatory work during the school year before the holidays. All system components are to be installed and functional when school starts in September 2025. Corresponding impairments during construction must be planned for and do not entitle the customer to make additional demands. Freedom to build is ensured by clearing the respective construction phase. The preliminary acceptance takes place after the project has been completed. The client is expected to cooperate appropriately in the coordination by the contractor. Constant attendance at construction meetings is required for all trades. A pollutant report is not yet available. Insulation materials containing pollutants (insulation containing KMF) are suspected to be in the crawl space. Personal protective equipment should be used for short-term work or when staying in the crawl space. A health check to determine suitability for work in the black area must be presented from the beginning.
