Project Description
All major utilities for the Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Halls Complex enter through the mechanical room adjacent to Blaisdell Hall. A previous project, U18114 PAR Blaisdell Hall - Mechanical Room Study & Temporary Shoring, determined that the ceiling slab in the mechanical room is overstressed and will require shoring and replacement. U18114 also indicated multiple systems, such as electrical feeds, that will require rerouting to install the new slab. An emergency procurement for shoring and select rerouting of utilities was awarded in October of 2019. The new project (U20098) PAR Blaisdell Hall - Phase 3 Replacement of Mechanical Room Slab & Utilities will pick up where the shoring left off by finishing select utility reroutes, replacing the original substation, replacing the domestic water booster pumps and pressure tank, demolishing and replacing the ceiling slab. University Housing cannot tolerate having a failure of any utility that feeds the Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Halls Complex as it would displace hundreds of students and other organizations that use these spaces year round. Therefore, the major disruptive construction has been programmed to occur in the summer of 2021.

This Project is located at: Blaisdell Hall, 901 West Pennsylvania Avenue, Urbana, Illinois 61801

A MANDATORY virtual pre-bid meeting will be held through via Zoom meeting on 07/30/20 at 9:00 AM Meeting ID of 924 5603 4115, or by phone at 1.312.626.6799 x 924 5603 4115#. Representatives of the Owner and the Professional Services Consultant will be present to answer questions regarding the project and bidding procedures. All prospective bidders are REQUIRED to attend.
