Valley Park Elementary Schools Accessibility Design

The Ketchikan Gateway Borough is seeking a qualified architectural design team to evaluate accessibility for the 40,500-s.f., Valley Park Elementary Schools building at Schoenbar Road in Ketchikan, Alaska. The work will examine the overall egress, for accessibility and function within both Ketchikan Charter School, and Tongass Arts and Science. The work includes recommendations to modify inaccessible spaces to accommodate the programmatic needs; examination of egress components for code compliance and for structural conditions; building system suitability, and opportunities to eliminate redundant or superfluous mechanical system components taken offline during prior building renovations. Work will also examine the exterior exit components to determine suitability for continued reuse, and recommend repairs or replacement, along with all design resulting thereto. The Ketchikan Gateway Borough desires to bid construction over one or several projects as determined by the design scope.
