STATEMENT OF WORK

Enclosed fish rearing building

VALUE BASED BID SELECTION

Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery

(Revision 2 – 4/26/2024)

1. GENERAL: Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery provides aquatic/biological mitigation of

Tennessee Valley Authority and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water development projects in the Southeast and supports USFWS national conservation efforts for threatened/endangered/at-risk species. The hatchery is currently working rearing Fundulus julisia (Barrens Topminnows) in a 24x30 prefab metal shed separated from the primary hatchery facility by a short drive. The

Barrens topminnow recovery efforts have grown and the best way to continue to advance the effort is to replace the temporary shed with a similar shed located as close as reasonable to the primary rearing areas of the hatchery.

BACKGROUND: Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery and Tennessee Ecological Services

Field Office is requesting a metal building with installation with BEST VALUE SELECTION

CRITERIA.We have a fixed budget with core building components and optional additions that are cost dependent. This project involves multiple agencies and stations that will meet to review bid proposals and make selections based on core building cost and collaborative optional feature selection determinations contingent on funding.

2. SCOPE: Erect a building with the following core criteria

I. Core specifications:

1. Build quality: Permits are not required for this construction, but the building must be built to meet TN minimal codes of 90mph gust wind speed with selection consideration given to higher wind ratings like 130mph

2. Enclosed building with metal siding/roof and post frame construction

3. Concrete slab 4” with rebar/wire reinforcement, please provide psi rating/footing/turn-down information

4. Dimension targets

• 4,000 square feet is a primary goal for this project with consideration for value and cost.

- Target Width 50ft (40’ min)

- Target Length 80 ft

• Target Height 20 ft

- 14ft at the eaves minimum

- 20ft at the centerline maximum

5. Insulation: preference given for type and R-value

• (min R9 and max R17)

6. Windows: Rearing endangered species will require some natural light.

- Operable windows

• Target 1 window per 10’ of open wall (lengthwise)

• Please include a base bid of 16 windows at 3’ square or larger

7. Three walk-in doors with windows (36” width)

8. Two garage doors

• Minimum: 12x14 insulated

VALUE BASED BID SELECTION

II. General preferred specs

1. Colors (themed to blend in with hatchery beauty)

• Forest green wainscoting

• Brown wall color

• Forest green roof

• Forest green trim

2. Materials: Metal, treated wood, galvanized/aluminum (minimize bug, rot, corrosion)

III. Customization cost: Customization is not required but adds value to bid selection criteria. The most important determination is meeting target specifications and overall price. If customization is available with the winning bidder, final building form selection may be determined cooperatively between the contractor and the station with contracting officer approval as long as the minimum design specifications are met.

1. Potential Customizable Features include (please include feature price per unit, if available):

• Numbers of doors/windows

• Increased insulation

- Highest selection consideration for insulation is given for cost effective partial insulation, but some slight selection consideration to higher r-value and insulation quality specifically for a metal building.

• Expanded building square feet (cost per additional sq ft)

• Building height

- Slight value add preference for an interior ceiling above 16ft so the fish water supply tanks fit easily.

• Slab

- Value-add possibilities: 6” slab and perimeter pour

3. PLACE/DELIVERY AND PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

The order and delivery is flexible with a preferred target completion date by Nov 2024. Contractor’s timeline must be established within 60 days of contract award.

Delivery/installation location:

MATERIALS/INFORMATION: The station will take responsibility for meeting all site prep, subbase, and grading requirements listed by the winning bidder. Please list all grade and subbase requirements. Less cost/work to prepare the site will be considered a value add by the station, not a prerequisite for the bid.
