Requirements

  • The project will be located at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs Colorado. 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.
  • 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 project includes the sole-source procurement of brand name Door Locks. The anticipated brand name is Yale.
