GLWACH Construct Hospital Parking and Renovate Optical Fabrication Laboratory (OFL) Industry Day
PROJECT OVERVIEW and REQUIREMENTS:
Project Title: Hospital Parking Lot Construction and Optical Fabrication Laboratory (OFL) Renovation
Location: Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri
Agency: USACE, Kansas City District (NWK)
NAICS Code: 236220-Commerical and Industrial Building Construction
Planning and design activities are ongoing. The project’s phased funding profile is listed below:
FY23: $31M (Expires September 30, 2027)
FY29: $35M (Anticipated)
The estimated magnitude for the entire overall effort is between $40 Million and $60M.
The new General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital requires the construction of new hospital parking lots, the renovation of an Optical Fabrication Laboratory (OFL), site work and infrastructure to support the newly constructed GLWACH.
The parking lot construction includes site grading and drainage, vehicle circulation roads and parking, pedestrian sidewalks, landscaping (including the planting of trees), site lighting, wayfinding, and video surveillance. The contractor must always maintain 970 parking stalls during construction. The contractor must also ensure safe pedestrian access from the existing parking lots to the new hospital. A construction phasing plan and traffic management plan must be implemented to maintain a safe environment for hospital patrons and staff.
The OFL renovation includes the demolition and replacement of the west wall at the current mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) room, removing all equipment inside the MEP and capping all roof penetrations. After demolition the MEP space will remain and become additional storage space for the OFL contract. A new ADA (American with Disabilities Act) compliant entrance vestibule be provided on the west side of the building where the old connection to the hospital was. The OFL also includes the renovation of a medical supply warehouse. To meet life safety codes the optical fabrication lab (OFL) space on the lower level will receive a new egress corridor and lightning protection. The facility must remain fully operational during all deconstruction, demolition, and construction efforts.
The former General Leonard Army Community Hospital and infrastructure must be decommissioned, dismantled, demolished, and removed prior to the construction of the new parking lot. This work included the decommissioning of a hospital and clinic, a central utility plant, abatement of hazardous materials and environmental liabilities. All existing paving, utilities, and other site appurtenances, including a helipad, must also be demolished and removed. Approximately 60,000 to 70,000 cubic yards of excavated soil will need to be cut and transported from an adjacent location to the project site for fill.
