- The US Forest Service EROC Northwest is seeking a qualified firm to provide professional Architect and Engineer services for detailed safety/code inspections, structural analysis, cost estimate development, design drawings development, and specification development for several, remote fire lookout towers on the Malheur National forest. Buildings: 1. Most of the lookout towers were built from 1920 to 2002. 2. Sites have no commercial power. Some sites have solar panels, propane heating, lighting, cooking systems. This project shall be completed in two phases: 1. Phase I: Field Investigation, site visit and measurements 2. Phase II: Deliverables as Required by this Contract. The work will consist of but not be limited to the following: • Each tower shall receive a thorough field inspection to determine its general condition. Inspection methods such as coring of concrete, magnetic particle, dye penetrant, ultrasonic inspection, stress wave velocity, wood member coring, hammer soundings, moisture content etc., shall be done as necessary. The inspection shall check the overall condition of the tower for items in need of repair or maintenance to determine the safe occupancy of employees. All deficiencies are to be recorded and reported. • Towers which are obviously in such deteriorated condition that safe lookout personal use is not practical shall be reported to the CO, COR, or a responsible Forest Officer, immediately. • All towers shall be inspected and a structural analysis conducted to determine the safety and adequacy of each tower in their current condition. The analysis shall be made according to applicable sections of the latest editions of the International Building Code as amended by the State of Oregon, industry standard guidelines, and ASCE recommendations. • A report narrating the field investigation findings, recommendations, results of the structural analysis, and cost estimates shall be developed. Design drawings and specifications shall be developed in conjunction with the report. The drawings and specifications shall be sufficient in detail to be used for contract documents correcting the tower’s deficiencies. There is no solicitation package to download. All information needed is to submit responses on Standard Form (SF) SF-330 (Part 1 and 2).
