Minimal changes to the site and floorplan layouts are anticipated during the design process, and any adjustments will be closely coordinated with the Government.

“Preliminary Survey”: This document assists with critical aspects such as grading, utility placement, and other site features. The DBC must verify utility connections, easements, setbacks, and other regulatory requirements. Coordination with local AHJs if necessary is included within this task.

“Geotechnical Report”: This report informs the overall project development. The DBC is required to thoroughly review it and adhere to its recommendations regarding the design of site elements and building foundations.

1) Overview

This document outlines the core performance requirements for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)’s Orovada Wildland Fire Station Complex Project. Work effort involves design development, and preparation of construction documents for the new Orovada Wildland Fire Station complex followed by construction by the DBC. The scope of work includes design and construction of one crew quarters building, an engine bay building, and all site improvements required to support those facilities and fire operations.

• Exclusions for the purposes of this solicitation:

• Pole-barn style buildings are not acceptable.

• Pre-engineered manufactured buildings are not considered pole-barns

2) Project Background

This project is for a design-build new Fire Station Complex that will service the northwest area of Nevada as managed by the Winnemucca District of the Bureau of Land Management. The DBC will provide a permanent facility for fire fighting crews and their equipment to live, work and train while allowing for swift response to possible wildfires on Federal Government lands in the region.

The new complex will be developed on an approximately 5-acre greenfield site that is a portion of a 40-acre undeveloped lot. The BLM owned parcel’s location is 155 Kunkle Lane, off of Highway 95 in Orovada, Humboldt County, Nevada at coordinates of approximately 41°33'31.57"N, 117°47'26.91"W.

Trees, grass, and xeriscaping designs could support this objective. Landscaping outside of the central recreation area shown on the landscaping plan will be for site stabilization and to prevent vegetation from growing that could provide potential hiding spots to potential intruders. The central area shown on the Government provided site plan is approximately 0.65 acres and the areas for site stabilization measure approximately 2.1 acres. The non-central area could be hydroseeded with custom seed mix of grasses, forbs, and shrubs. All vegetation selected shall be native to the Great Basin, selected for hardiness and low-water use. Deciduous and evergreen trees are recommended at the Crew Quarters to provide privacy, shade, screening of the view of the fire station, and windbreak for the housing.

The Orovada General Improvement District will serve the BLM Fire Station Complex as a customer following completion of the water tower. The BLM has a letter providing for use of construction water. Please see the letter and terms offered by the OGID for construction water.

• The construction of the offsite sewer plan falls within this task order. The planset prepared by SBCC consultants has been approved by the NDEP with general terms and conditions to apply to the general contractor. Modifications required by the NDEP for varying field conditions or modifications to the approved planset will be the responsibility of the DBC who must coordinate any modifications with the NDEP. The relocation of the driveway from SBCC’s design to the proposed concept plan may require a resubmittal to NDEP. The approximate length of the proposed new sewer main is approximately 2310 feet in length.

• Systems Manuals shall be provided for all mechanical, electrical, building control, and security systems:

o A systems manual is a condensed version of the design and construction turn-over documents developed into a format that gives operators a roadmap to understand, operate, and maintain the systems and assemblies within the building. The manual is particularly useful in existing buildings where system changes have occurred over the years and the current operation spans multiple turn-over and design packages. The intent of the manual is to be useful in the day-to-day operations and troubleshooting.

o Provide a general facility description including single-line diagrams, zone mapping and equipment locations.

o Provide equipment operating procedures that will include:

System function Simplified explanation of ASHRAE 36 sequence of operations implemented Systems setpoints System schedules o Recommended schedule for system recommissioning and pre-seasonal verification.

• Develop preventative maintenance plans for each system utilizing operation and maintenance manuals and industry standards.

• Develop daily rounds checklist that will quickly assess the current facility operation at a high level.

• Tools and spare parts: Deliver to the project site all specialty tools, valve handles, fan belts, filters, spare parts, keys and similar devices such that the BLM staff is able to operate and maintain the work.

• Provide maintenance materials to Station Manager, coordinate location of storage. (Provide consumable items in such quantities as needed for the first year of operation.)

7.3) Schedule and Design Process Deliverables:

7.3.1) Schedule

• The project schedule must cover the entire contract period. The late finish date of the project schedule must align with the established completion date of the contract. The DBC must furnish a project schedule to Government and provide digital copies after the award and before the Design Meetings. The schedule must include a detailed design phase with design deliverable submission dates and review periods. Additionally, it must include a detailed construction schedule that highlights important milestones for both phases.

7.3.2) Design Process Deliverables:

• GENERAL:

o Design Review Time: The contractor should include in their schedule a 21-day

Government review for each design submittal (35%, 65%, 95% and 100%) o Design Review Meetings: Periodically meet with Government representatives to review the design and discuss and resolve issues. The design shall be refined and developed so that the DBC can move forward to the next phase of the process. Meeting times and locations shall be as agreed to by DBC and Government. It is expected that up to one meeting will be onsite with the rest able to be accomplished via Microsoft teams.

Meeting Notes will be made by the DBC and distributed to his Design consultants, the Government, the BLM Engineering Project Manager, and the Fire Management Officer.

After review by the BLM Engineering Project Manager, notes will be corrected if necessary, by the DBC and redistributed to the same group named above. The final minutes shall become part of the official contract file.

o Design Kickoff Meeting: A Design Kick-Off meeting will be held via teams. The time and date of this meeting will be mutually agreed upon by the Fire Management Officer, the DBC and the BLM Engineering Project Manager. The DBC shall provide his Project Manager, Site Designer and Architect to attend this meeting. The purpose of the meeting will be to review the design program, discuss the requirements of the project, verify existing conditions and start the schematic or conceptual design process.

• SCHEMATIC DESIGN:

o Schematic Design (SD) 35%: Develop a feasible and acceptable solution that can be constructed within the stated project budget. Prepare and submit a SD submittal for Government review and comment. A Design Review Meeting for this submittal will be held at a location designated by the Government, attended by the DBC, site designer (Civil Engineer or Landscape Architect), Architect.

o Deliverables: The following items shall be submitted via electronic format to the BLM Project Manager 5 days prior to this design review meeting. Note that failure to fulfill this list of elements may delay payment for the 35% phase until all documents are received.
