DESCRIPTION: This project consists of the design and construction of a new 600-member Bowie Army Reserve Center (ARC) located near Waldorf in Charles County, Maryland. Primary facilities include construction of an ARC training building (79,795 SF), Organizational Maintenance Shop (OMS) (5,703 SF), and Unheated Storage building (UHS) (5,163 SF). Buildings will be of permanent construction with reinforced concrete foundations; concrete floor slabs; reinforced concrete or masonry walls, low sloped or sloped roofs, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC); plumbing; mechanical systems; security systems; and electrical systems. Supporting facilities include land clearing, paving, fencing, general site improvements, and extension of utilities to serve project. Accessibility for the disabled will be provided. Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) and physical security measures will be incorporated into design including maximum standoff distance from roads, parking areas, and vehicle unloading areas. Sustainability/Energy measures will be provided. Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 50 years. Energy efficiencies meeting, on average, American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 189.1 standards through improved building envelope and integrated building systems performance. Air Conditioning (Estimated 263 Tons). Energy features such as geothermal HVAC, solar water heating may, and LED lighting, may be included in construction.
