The City of Lincoln is seeking construction of the foundation for Lincoln Fire & Rescue’s training tower, with supporting engineering documents describing the proposed structure and site conditions.
- **Government buyer:** City of Lincoln Purchasing Division, for Lincoln Fire & Rescue, in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska.
- **Requested construction:** Build a 23-foot by 42-foot-6-inch grade-beam foundation and an exterior stair pad in accordance with the drawings and specifications. The grade beam must not be below grade; forming its top should provide a clean edge for future paving.
  - No interior grade beams or slab within the grade-beam perimeter are required. The area may remain as-is or be filled with gravel, no higher than the finished grade beam.
  - Assume all excavated soil will be removed and include the cost of a one-time-use permit for disposal at the Bluff Road landfill.
- **Supporting project information:** The structural calculations describe a proposed modular fire-training simulator associated with **WHP Training Towers**, including steel framing and bracing. The geotechnical report was prepared by **Olsson** and recommends a shallow mat foundation on at least 1 foot of structural fill, with a maximum net allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. The report states that existing soils generally appear suitable for reuse as structural fill and that groundwater is not anticipated to affect construction.
- **Named OEM/product:** **Hilti** adhesive anchors are specified in the structural calculations: HIT-HY 200 V3 adhesive with HAS-V-36 anchors, 5/8-inch diameter and 10-inch nominal embedment. The listed item numbers are 2198027 and 2334276.
- **Other specified structural components:** W4x13 columns, 600S162-43 floor joists, W6x15 girders, and 0.75-inch-diameter cable braces. Quantities are not stated.
- **Named vendors and entities:** Hilti (anchor products), Olsson (geotechnical engineering report), and WHP Training Towers (named in connection with the training simulator). No other product vendors or construction contractor are identified.
- **Additional requirements:** Drawings and specifications govern the work. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit are required.
