PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Florida Armory Renovation Program (FARP)

Florida National Guard Armory Renovation – Dade City, Pasco County, Florida.

This project will renovate the Dade City Armory which was originally built in the 1950s. The goal is to upgrade the facility to current Florida Codes, as well as revise the interior space to better accommodate the current needs of the Florida Army National Guard. The renovation will include the removal and replacement of existing power and lighting, wiring and equipment; removal and replacement of toilet and shower facilities; removal and replacement of HVAC equipment; and removal and replacement of interior partitions to reconfigure office spaces, toilets and showers. The roofing will be replaced in its entirety. An addition of a new storage facility will be constructed at the rear of the armory. The exterior enclosure of the armory will be made more storm resistant by replacing all windows and doors with impact resistant and energy efficient units. The exterior walls and remaining interior walls will be repaired and repainted. All existing suspended ceilings will be replaced with new, and a suspended ceiling will be added to the assembly hall.

The Department reserves the right to reject any and all submissions, or accept minor irregularities in the best interest of the DMA.
