  • Summary:PURPOSE
    In accordance with the Virginia Public Procurement Act §2.2-4303, the Town of Abingdon (Town) is soliciting proposals from qualified, licensed and bonded contractors to remodel an existing building into a commercial kitchen facility. The kitchen is to be located in a portion of the Abingdon Train Depot. The facility is currently vacant. However, the building will be utilized as a senior center and commissary kitchen. Once remodeled the facility will be utilized as a rentable commercial kitchen facility.
    Key considerations in the project will be the remodel of an existing building into a commercial grade kitchen, complying with all applicable Federal, State, County and Town regulations.
     Included is the need for ADA accessibility into the existing building as well as ADA compliant bathrooms (minimum of 2 unisex).
     Careful consideration of the transition between the two uses (senior center to commercial kitchen) within this structure is a vital component of this proposal.
     Utilization of the exterior areas for refrigerator, freezer and general storage must be kept within the confines of the “building overhang” and not extend beyond the railroad easement.
     Classroom space that can be used for both “cooking classes”, dining, as well as a “food prep” area is important in the limited square footage.
     Awareness of the limited space proposing equipment that is compact (chef bases), creating storage underneath other uses, and creating a layout that more than one tenant can be working in the location safely.
    It is anticipated that the start date of this project, which encompasses design/permit approvals, construction, construction management and equipment installation will be August 2025. Contractor will work with the town to establish suitable project milestones and a project timeline for project scope.
