***Response date for proposals has been extended from 11/22/05 to 4:30 PM on 11/30/2005*** THADDEUS J. DULSKI FEDERAL BUILDING BUFFALO, NEW YORK Building Fact Sheet GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The Federal Building, Buffalo, New York, was designed and constructed for the General Ser¬vices Administration, Public Buildings Service, Region 2, New York, New York. The building was constructed in 1971. In 2004, GSA undertook a detailed review of the financial performance of the Dulski Building. GSA concluded that the asset was not contributing to the overall portfolio and disposal was the recommended option. Early in 2005, GSA commenced the disposal process by reporting the property to be excess to its needs. The first step of the process was a screening of the property to other federal land holding agencies. This 30-day screening ended in September 2005; no federal agencies expressed interest in acquiring the property. In October 2005, GSA determined the property surplus to the needs of the Government and initiated a screening for certain non-profit organization, as well as local, county, and state public agencies. If no non-profit organizations or public bodies express interest in the property after that 60-day screening period, GSA will proceed to market the property for a sale to the general public. Building Design The Federal Building is an unusual structure in several respects. Described by its architect as being designed “inside-out and upside-down” this fifteen-story building features a huge ser¬vice tower dominating the facade on the West Huron side, which is the Main Entrance. The windowless tower will contain eight passenger elevators, a freight elevator and lavatories, leaving each floor of the building completely devoted to office space. The top floor houses machinery generally found in basements. Boilers, refrigeration plants and electrical installation will be on the fifteenth floor. An underground automobile park¬ing area is located in the basement, with its entrance and exit on South Elmwood Avenue. Approximately 180 parking spaces are also available. The Service Tower, rising more than 200 feet will give interest to the building, as will the sculp¬tured effect of the precast concrete facade with its recessed windows. The windows are vertically pivoted, anodized aluminum sash and grey tinted glass. Designed for effective maintenance and cleaning. These windows can be rotated 360 degrees. Careful planning and consideration have been given to the comfort of the employees scheduled to occupy the building. Modern equipment and facilities have been provided throughout to pro¬duce an efficient and effective working environment. The ceilings in all offices are acoustically treated to provide noise control. Sound-resistant partitioning has been used to divide office space. All offices have recessed fluorescent lighting, designed to provide a minimum of 75-foot candles of illumination at desk level. The use of an under floor electrical duct system through¬out the office areas on the first through the eleventh floors facilitates the installation of tele¬phone and power receptacles in convenient locations. An air distribution system has been installed to provide comfortable air cooling and heating regardless of outside weather conditions. Two 600 and 100 ton centrifugal refrigeration plants for air ¬conditioning and two 10,463,000 BTU per hour capacity-boilers for heating are inter-connected to a distribution system with automatic temperature controls and related equipment. The boilers are duel fuel oil/gas to assure dependable operation under all conditions. Complementing the air distribution system are independent thermostatically controlled fan coil units located on all floors, which provide heating and cooling of perimeter office space. Four low rise elevators servicing the basement through ninth floor and four high rise elevators servicing the basement to fifteenth floor provide rapid vertical transportation to govern¬ment employees and to the public. In addition, a freight elevator and two enclosed stairways provide ready access to and from all floors. Special consideration has been given to the accessibility of the building for handicapped per¬sons. Ramps are provided at the Delaware Street entrance.
