- Description
- CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WALKING BOX: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has completed the contract documents (plans and specifications) and will be soliciting construction proposals for the adaptive reuse/redevelopment of an historic resource known as Walking Box Ranch, as well as, the new construction of a small research and learning campus on site. The ranch is located west of Searchlight, Nevada, just south of Highway 164. The project involves the sensitive adaptation of the resource to accommodate public visitation while maintaining the historic integrity of the site and structures. Another separate, yet integral, element of this undertaking is the development of a field research facility to be operated by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) on a portion of the site outside of the designated historic zone. Interpretive exhibits will be concentrated in areas open to the visiting public. Utilities and infrastructure will need to be developed. The development involves 40 acres in the northwest quadrant of a larger 120-acre, protected parcel. Sensitive treatment of the developed area and methods to control impact upon the adjacent protect areas is part of this undertaking. The project consists of, but is not limited to, the stabilization, rehabilitation, and preservation of the following (note: all square footages (sf) listed are approximate): 1. Installation of a rock garden to its historic context; 2. Selective demolition and the historic preservation of a 5000 sf ranch house 3. The rehabilitation of a 1500 sf existing bunkhouse and the addition of approx. 600 sf to create a new 2100 sf administration building; 4. The preservation of a 2100 sf barn; 5. The stabilization of a 120 sf ice house. The project also consists of, but is not limited to, the new construction of (note: all square footages (sf) listed are approximate): 1. Extensive site improvement work (grading, vehicular and pedestrian hardscape, utilities and infrastructure, fencing, tortoise habitat fencing, landscape, etc.) of the 40 acre site; 2. A 4300 sf research, classroom, lab facility; 3. A 7700 sf bunkhouse with kitchen facility; 4. A 300 sf campground pavilion; 5. A 1200 sf caretaker residence and garage structure; 6. A 900 sf maintenance facility; 7. A 120 sf blacksmith shop. This is an educational facility dealing with environmental themes. It is therefore essential that this undertaking be constructed using sustainable practices. The project must be registered for certification under a nationally recognized green rating system. Criteria for evaluating the success of having achieved a sustainable development will be guidance from a rating system such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Green Globes, or equal. The construction magnitude is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.
