The Dormitory Authority State of New York (DASNY) is seeking Expressions of Interests (EOI) from Design-Build Teams to provide Design/Build services for the rehabilitation of Wings A and B, more commonly referred to as “Moon Street Wings” of the Finger Lakes Developmental Disabilities Service Office, located at 620 Westfall Road, 14620, for the New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD).
The intended re-use of the Moon Street Wings is to convert each existing wing area into thirteen (13) bedroom hostels. One wing includes two (2) ground-level areas currently unoccupied and previously used for sleeping and living. The second wing includes one (1) ground-level area currently unoccupied and previously used for sleeping and living and one (1) program space area.
The approximate square footage of the entire space is 45,000 square feet. It is anticipated that the construction budget will be between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000.
The renovation work is expected to include, but is not limited to, the following scope of work:
Exterior
Replace the existing roof. Replacement of the roofing and insulation requires careful coordination with the removals and renovations of the existing and new HVAC components. The new roofing system must comply with NYS Energy Code.
Landscaping and bedding must be provided in the courtyards and other exterior areas. The intent is to give the area a residential feel, provide a pavilion as a covered and/or shaded area, provide secure seating and potentially install custom sculptures and art in the courtyards.
Replace the existing exterior storefront with security glazing and doors to provide secure access and meet the requirements of the NYS Energy Code.
Interior
Reconfigure certain interior walls adjacent to the center sky dome area to accommodate increased visual connection to the communal rooms.
Removal and replacement of all kitchen fixtures and equipment is anticipated. Reconfigure the kitchen to provide program-appropriate functions. Remove and replace all bathroom fixtures and finishes.
Replace existing and missing door hardware. New door hardware must be appropriate to meet program functions, accessibility requirements, and security and safety needs.
Provide new finishes, furniture and painting throughout both wings, including but not limited to flooring, beds, cabinets, nurse stations, desks, seating, and tables.
It is anticipated there will be a complete (hard) ceiling removal and (hard) ceiling replacement in the corridors at minimum, and likely in the individual spaces due to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) scopes.
Provide poly backed gypsum hardened wall finish. Anticipate at 80% of existing walls.
Provide structural infill at rooftop mechanical equipment removals.
HVAC
Replace interior air handlers in each wing and install new building automation systems. Install hard-ducted returns for HVAC to eliminate the associated dangers of a plenum return system.
Following complete ceiling removals to install the sprinkler system and return ductwork, move the supply ducts into this space to aid in future roof maintenance and minimize heat loss.
While the boiler plant supplies heat, there is a desire to explore the potential of installing central cooling for the facility. Evaluate chiller systems as an alternate approach to replace multiple rooftop units at this facility.
Plumbing Systems
Replace all plumbing fixtures to comply with use, function, code. and safety requirements.
Electrical Systems
Replace existing obsolete compact substations in each wing. Replace all panels to eliminate the use of dangerous and antiquated Federal Pacific Electric Panels.
Replace all lighting with LED fixtures. Outlets and other surface-mounted and recessed electrical devices that are surface-mounted to recessed must be replaced and wiring must be run through the walls.
Firm Alarm Systems
Replace local Simplex 4020 panels with new 4010-ES panels to hook up to the existing 4100U head unit. Replace all smoke heads and horn/strobe devices and pull stations to develop fully addressable, voice annunciated fire alarm system
The VESDA system will become unnecessary once the HVAC returns are hard-ducted, and it will need to be decommissioned to minimize maintenance costs.
Sprinkler System
Expand existing limited coverage sprinkler system to meet NFPA 101-2012 Ch. 18 requirements. Install NFPA 13 sprinkler system to comply with NFPA 101.
Security Systems
Install new duress system, door monitoring sallyport, and vehicle access systems.
Replace exterior cameras, digital video recorders and fence-mounted detection system
Hazardous Materials
Extensive hazardous materials surveying, testing and abatement will be required. The scope of work will be clarified by the bridging consultant at a later date.
Additional Information
The Wings will be unoccupied during the construction phase. Coordination between the Builder and the Finger Lakes DDSO will be required to establish restricted work periods. Normal construction work hours will be from 7:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Any exterior work that is required may be extended to 6:00 P.M. Construction hours may vary depending on the type of work needed.
Interested firms must meet the following requirements:
- Design-Build Team possesses substantial experience in providing projects of similar size, scope and complexity using a Design/Build method.
- A Builder with an Experience Modification Rate of less than 1.0.
