TIAC Egress Door Relocation, Cold Regions Research Engineering Laboratory, Hanover, NH

Background

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New England District is soliciting an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for Construction Services to relocate the egress door for the Technical Information Analysis Center (TIAC) located at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Hanover, NH. This project aims to enhance mobility and aesthetics for a world-class research facility. CRREL is a USACE research campus that addresses significant problems for the Department of Defense and the Nation by applying science and engineering to complex environments, particularly in cold regions. Work Details: The work consists of providing Construction Services to demolish the existing suspended concrete walkway (20 LF) and the associated metal egress doorway. A new secured, storefront style entrance will be constructed in a relocated area on the south-facing side of the building. The new egress doorway will include a heated vestibule (100 SF) and additional interior construction work such as new partitions and finishes to accommodate a configured egress path within the building. Ancillary renovation impacts include electrical work, HVAC, and life safety systems. All work is located on an access-controlled military installation. Period of Performance: Work is expected to begin in summer 2025. Place of Performance: Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), Hanover, NH
