OPTION 01: LAUNDRY RENOVATION

PART 1 GENERAL

1. GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK

The project requires the design and renovation of the existing Bldg. 37 to accommodate a new laundry operation at the Port Isabel Service Processing Center (SPC), Los Fresnos, TX. The work includes, but is not limited to, design, selective demolition of site and utility structure elements to accommodate the new laundry operation, building interior construction, finishes, interior and exterior painting, and building systems. Such systems include, but are not limited to electrical power, lighting, special systems, fire suppression systems, heating, air-conditioning and ventilating systems, security systems, telecommunications systems, plumbing systems, and alarm systems. All exterior building systems and equipment surfaces exposed to exterior environments must have protective coatings. All coatings, interior and exterior, must provide protection from ISO Corrosivity Category 5 conditions, or equivalent. It is intended to provide long term durability to the surfaces and coatings in the local environmental conditions. Coating colors will match adjacent architectural aesthetics. Site improvements include utility line connections, pavements, and extensions of existing campus systems to serve the building. A new pedestrian access through existing security fence into an existing sally port is to be included.

1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project requires the design and renovation of an existing warehouse building to accommodate a laundry operation. The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems within the building will be upgraded as need to accommodate the new commercial sized washers and dryers. The roofing will be replaced with a standing seem metal roof.

Rusted and deteriorated flashing shall be replaced in order to provide roofing warranty as required. The perimeter and interior fencing will be modified to meet security needs.

This facility is to be fully ABA accessible.

1.2 SECURITY PROVISIONS / FORCE PROTECTION

All personnel accessing the SPC must be prior approved by the ICE Security Division.

Specific project security measures are provided elsewhere in these specifications.

The project is to be fully contained within a security fenced enclosure and access to the site is controlled via security protocols. The D-B Contractor must be responsible for constructing the perimeter security infrastructure needed to secure the site and its subsequent connection to the existing secure SPC campus and must tie into existing

ADallai Draft

SECTION 01 10 01 Page 2 fiber optic perimeter fence detection system in all fencing being altered or added.

Coordination with SPC personnel before removing or altering any fencing or security apparatus is required. All fencing removal and installation must be done with the plan to always provide containment at required levels.

1.3 SUSTAINABILITY

The project design and construction must comply with governing criteria as established by the International Energy Conservation Code. The design and construction are also encouraged to follow sustainability design principles as established by the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Certification Standards program, although such certification is not required.
