ADVERTISEMENT FOR PREQUALIFICATION AND BID

SCO # 16-15505-1

Project: UNCW Allied Health Building

Owner: University of North Carolina at Wilmington

Project Location: 601 South College Road, Wilmington, North Carolina, 28403

Project Description:

The Allied Health Building will complete the planning Health Care Academic Quad on the east

end of Chancellor’s walk. In keeping with the campus standards and specifically the University

Intentions that the Quad be composed of identical buildings, this project will maintain the

massing, materiality, and detail exhibited on McNeil Hall and the Teaching Lab.

The new Allied Health building will be approximately 145,000 S.F. slab on grade first floor with

three supported levels and roof structure. The super structure will be designed as a steel

frames structure. The second, third, and fourth (mechanical mezzanine) structure will be steel

beam and girders supported by steel columns. The Roof will be steel bar joist supported on

steel beams and girders spanning between steel columns.

The exterior of the building will be constructed of structural gauge studs, sheathing, insulation

and aluminum fixed windows, brick façade, GFRC columns and cornice. The roofing finish

material shall be asphalt shingles.

The buildings heating and cooling system will tie into the campuses existing chilled /heated four

piping service from remote chillers and boiler plants. The buildings internal primary HVAC

system will be comprised of Variable Air Valves, fan coil units, cabinet unit heaters, air handling

units, hot and cold water distribution pumps, and a possible heat recovery system.

The site will require demolition of existing parking lot and concrete curb and gutter, minimal

clearing of existing tree, as well as removal and rerouting of existing storm water piping with

new catch basin. The site is flat but may require minimal importation of material for green

areas due to the demolition of the parking lot. The building foundation system will be poured

in place over ground improving, stone piers to mitigate possible settlement caused by seismic

activity.

Included in this scope /estimate is the cost to replace the existing McQuay Chiller with a

SMARDT Chiller at the central chiller plant. This project would be done in conjunction with the Allied Health Building.
