MPPDC invites qualified firms to submit bids for the renovation of an existing residential structure and free-standing pool house building for use as a Separated Mixed Use Groups A-3/M/R-2 multi-dwelling facility as defined by section 310.3 of the 2018 Virginia Construction Code. The rehabilitation of two buildings will encompass 6 apartments, three in each building and rehabilitation of a common area. The work in the main building will be limited to the two-story western wing. It will be isolated from the remainder of the structure via fire related wall assemblies as required by the VCC. On the west side, the lower level will be rehabbed from the "gutted" state to a usable state with FEMA approved materials to allow free flow of floodwater through that space without doing structural damage. The Pool House will involve adding a second floor and public restrooms on the first floor. Upgraded interior work will be included on the first floor of the pool house. Address is 9524 Whitaker Drive, Gloucester, VA 23061. The construction will be conducted in accordance with already drafted Balzer engineering plans.
