Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice for the Fort Leavenworth Building 44 Renovation project in Kansas. This effort aims to identify qualified firms for a firm fixed-price design-bid-build (D-B-B) construction contract. Responses are due April 8, 2026.
Scope of Work
This project involves a whole building renovation of the historic administrative Building 44, approximately 15,000 square feet. The scope includes comprehensive replacement of all systems (mechanical, electrical, communications, security, fire, and life safety), architectural revisions to improve layout and update interiors, and minor structural repairs. A new elevator will be installed, and asbestos abatement and lead paint remediation are required. Ancillary site work, such as sidewalks, a new accessible ramp, and utilities, is also part of the project. All work must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Historic Preservation, as Building 44 is a contributing structure to the Fort Leavenworth National Landmark Historic District.
