Request for Proposal.

March 21, 2011

Draper Yakima Buildings L.L.C is seeking bids to replace existing glass windows on a two story office space with a different window construction configuration. Amount of demolition and reconstruction will be dependant on cost and availability. We have some insulated windows that may be used for the upstairs office space.
Windows on the two story office building portion are an old aluminum frame stacked glass window extending from the ground concrete sill to the upper level ceiling. The upper window sections are partially painted giving the illusion of "wall". There are five sections between Concrete supports. Each section may be an independent bid. We have briefly explored using pre-engineered panels with a frame system for hanging panels and glass. An estimate for a pre-engineered system between only two concrete supports was in excess of $20,000 which is beyond the resources of the total project.
We anticipating removing existing glass panels and replace them with different framing. Installation may include down stairs Showroom windows and upstairs smaller glass windows. Replacement may include insulated windows. The project may be based on partial replacement between concrete columns or total replacement of wall sections for the two floor office portion depending on cost.
The intent is to retain the existing look of the building but with different windows making it easier for maintenance and more cost effective for repair.
The process would include:
1. Engineering of wall sections
2. Removal of indoor facade along upstairs windows
3. Partial or full replacement of show room windows depending on cost (potentially reuse existing windows until needed to replace with insulated windows,
4. Reducing size of upstairs windows and insulating exterior walls where the painted glass is removed,
5. Repainting of building exterior where painted windows are removed.
6. Attached pic shows window sections to be removed and / or altered.
We do have an architect in Seattle who may be available for consultation in the event Contractor does now have resources in Yakima.
