Description

Added: Apr 23, 2019 11:11 am

The intent of this project is to demolish and remove the existing office structure (46' x 20'), attached conference room addition (20' x 32') and greenhouse (13' x 24') including foundation (combination of crawl space foundation and slab style) and replace with new turn-key modular office building on a concrete footing and foundation.

The location of the project is on government owned property of the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, Big Flats Plant Materials Center, 3266 State Route 352, Corning, NY 14830.
The existing office structure is 65 years old; conference room addition is 30 years old and greenhouse is approximately 55 years old. At a minimum, chrysotile asbestos is determined to be found in the drywall and floor tile and must be removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. Roofing materials have not been tested, but must be tested prior to removal, to insure safe and proper removal and disposal. The contractor must insure that all federal, state, and local requirements for asbestos and hazardous material handling and disposal are followed.
The new office structure shall be approximately 1700 sf, turn-key and include a foyer, one private office, one conference room, separate lavatories for men and women, utility room, computer server room, and kitchenette; on a concrete footing and foundation. Office structure shall be modular/refabricated; shall be ranch style, wood-framed and meet all local, state, federal, ADA and USDA building code/construction requirements.
Contractor shall furnish all labor and materials and perform all work necessary to prepare the site; demolish and properly remove/dispose of all materials including asbestos and hazardous material; restore all disturbed areas; construct new foundation and provide modular turn-key office structure. All work must meet federal, state and local material handling and disposal, zoning and building construction requirements.
It is expected that the contractor will visit the site of work and thoroughly familiarize themselves with the conditions existing there. Failure on the part of the contractor to acquaint themselves with the site conditions will not be sufficient reason for any increase in contract price.
