Description: The National Park Service, Historic Preservation Training Center, requires Architect-Engineer services for the design development, complete construction plans and specifications, Class "A" cost estimates, related studies, and all associated engineering services needed for a complete historically accurate rehabilitation of the Troy House located off Route 176, just southeast of the intersection with Interstate 95, Dorsey, Howard County, Maryland. The Troy House a 2 ? story stone masonry structure, rectangular in plan (approximately 36' x 40') with a walk-out basement. The uncoursed rubble stone walls are continuous from foundation to eave and are topped with a side gable roof. The building was constructed sometime in the first quarter of the 19th century by Vincent Bailey, a prosperous Howard County farmer, in the Georgian style with a traditional center hall plan. Since that time it had undergone many renovations, including a Colonial Revival remodel in the 1940s. In 1992 the structure was gutted by fire leaving only the stone exterior walls with window and door openings, brick chimneys and various fireboxes. All of the interior and exterior wooden structural and decorative elements were lost; including the roof, windows, doors, trim and plaster work. In an effort to preserve the remaining historic masonry shell, a contract was written with an architectural/engineering firm after the fire to stabilize the structure. In the last few years, elements of the stabilization have failed. In 2004, an Emergency Stabilization Plan to address the most critical deficiencies and the recommended treatments were performed. It is the intent of this project, to return the building's exterior elevations, porch and roof to a specific period within its early evolution and then interpret the exterior envelope at that point in time. The interior will be adaptively reconstructed to serve a new modern use, of which is yet to be fully determined. Work will consist of the complete historically accurate rehabilitation of the 2 ? story stone and brick building envelope, exterior doors and windows, the roof structure, roof covering and front porch. The building interior will be all new construction including the floor, wall and ceiling structural and finish systems; new mechanical; electrical and plumbing, fire protection and security systems; all to meet the new building interior use needs. The interior usable space is estimated at 5,000 square feet. New underground utilities will be brought to the building and connected. Work will also include grading around the building for site drainage, handicap accessibility, and turf restoration. The estimated value of the construction project is between $500,000 and $3,000,000. Award of a firm-fixed price contract is estimated to be made on or before February 10, 2006. Design work shall begin on or before February 10, 2006 with completion by May 9, 2006. Construction work shall begin on or before August 2006 with completion of all work by August 2007.
