Project magnitude is between $10 million and $25 million.

SCOPE OF WORK: Bartlett Hall is a 4-story university building at the United States Military Academy.  Originally constructed in 1913 with additions in 1936, 1953, and 1962; Bartlett Hall underwent an extensive renovation between 2009-2011.  Today’s proposed project includes three parts: Repair to the exterior courtyard wall, Replacement of portions of the roof, and an Interior renovation project on the 4th Floor.

The design will be 100% complete in 3 packages to address each part of the project. 

Courtyard Wall:  Repair the damaged brick and limestone components, help to alleviate the movement forces identified with control and relief joints, and minimize moisture intrusion into

the wall assembly through: reconstructing each of the (6) the brick pilasters (including the brick back-up); repairing oversailing parapet; performing roof and parapet coping repairs; replacing existing replacement-brick and damaged/cracked-bricks; repointing portions of bricks walls; extending flashing and providing drip below limestone water table; removing and replacing the course of brick below limestone to install flashing extension and drip; providing sealant and weeps; removing and re-sealing at window perimeters to limestone surrounds and replacing sealants at limestone surrounds to brick with mortar; providing vertical control joint at outside corner of west wall return; repairing Limestone Lintels above windows; and repairing and cleaning brick and limestone.

Roof:  Replace the roof assemblies in their entirety down to the existing roof deck.  Provide adhered 5” polyisocyanurate insulation, tapered insulation to achieve ¼” per foot slopes, adhered 5/8” cover board, and 3 Ply-SBS modified bitumen roof assembly to achieve an average R-value of 30.  Coat existing SBS modified bitumen roof assemblies and repairs areas with an

elastomeric coating. Replace pavers with pedestal paver systems. Provide tapered crickets as required to create positive drainage to roof drains.  Provide fall protection around existing roof hatches; provide fall arrest, fall restraint systems where necessary.  Provide walkway pads from at ladders, doors, stairs and roof hatches to equipment including exhausts. Coordinate and install roof terminations in conjunction with coping stone re-setting work.  Repair section of Yankee/ Box roof gutter in accordance with SMACNA standards. Remove and replace metal buttress enclosures. Divert masonry knee-wall and coping weeping to the exterior of metal enclosures.

Provide plumbing vent extensions as needed to achieve 18” minimum vertical height above proposed roof elevations at roof replacements. Electrical circuit to units indicated for salvaging will be disconnected and protected during construction. Re-connect circuit upon reinstallation of units. Salvage existing condensers for re-install. Salvage & re-install existing antennae and other roof top equipment as needed to perform roof replacements and repairs. Reinstall exhausts; provide new properly sized roof curbs at exhaust fans as needed. Reinstall metal trims and flashings at transitions. Reinstall existing condensers on new curbs/ platforms as needed. Provide supports and re-install roof top conduits and equipment. Provide hinged mesh screen guards/ covers at open gutter systems (except at yankee gutter where there are existing dome strainers at inlets). Establish and document contractor staging areas. Salvage existing roof drain clamping rings for reinstall. Salvage, modify and reinstall existing stairs and ladders as needed to accommodate roof replacements.

Interior Renovation: The academic office wing is organized in a “racetrack” style, with individual offices around the perimeter and shared offices, conference rooms, and collaboration spaces in the center. A sizeable classroom, currently serving the archives, will be re-imagined as a large collaboration space and conference room for a new academic department.  Wall Systems will be Metal-stud partitions run from floor to deck, with sound batt insulation and additional layers of gypsum wall board as required for acoustic separation. The Interior Design Scheme Finishes include Forbo Flotex carpet alternative in collaboration spaces and conference rooms, resilient flooring in offices and hallways, and tile in toilet rooms.  Walls will be Painted gypsum wall board partitions.  Ceilings will be Acoustic Panel Ceilings (2x2 and 2x4) and gypsum wall board.  The Renovation will include electrical lighting and outlets, telecom, plumbing, fire alarm, and mechanical systems.
