UPDATED July 2, 2010
Bridge Demolition--Complete
With the opening of the Made in Licking County Bridge in September 2009, the old east side bridge of the Base no longer has a use. Demolition of the bridge began in May under a contract awarded to All Aspects Contracting. The projects included the removal of the bridge deck, both abutments, both approach slabs and both sets of stream piles and piers. A large construction zone was set around this project.
Office/Clean Room Building--Underway
A contract was awarded May 2010 to Robertson Construction Services of Heath for construction of a combination office and clean room building totaling 43,461 sf. The design, by architect Wachtell & McAnally of Newark, consists of a two story brick structure and will include an 8,200 sf space for installation of up to five state-of-the-art clean rooms. Construction is underway and looking to occupancy by second quarter 2011. The building has been designed to meet LEED standards for Shell and Core and is expected to be the first new commercial office building of its type in Central Licking County.
Water Tower Decommissioning--UNDERWAY
With the opening of a new water tower in Heath this year, the COATC tower will no longer be needed. The first of a series of moves which heads toward eventual removal has begun. Kel-Par Company of Newark is underway with a plan to relocate a pump station inside Building 4 and will time valving off the water tower to the start-up of the new Heath water tower which is expected to come on-line mid-Summer.
Utility Extension--COMING SOON
Initial design is ready and final details are being completed now that will allow this project to be out for public bid in June. The project will bring a new electrical service onto The Base with the capability of feeding the buildings on the East side and is required for the new Shell building. Plans call for buried utility feeds from James Parkway, parallel to the rail spur and North to the upper Parking Lot of The Base. From that point, the first feed will be to the new Shell building.
