DESIGN-BUILD SCOPE OF WORK

VOCATIONAL TRADES EXPANSION

AT THE

RAMEY JOB CORPS CENTER

I. GENERAL

The work involves services for the design and construction of two new buildings to accommodate the expansion of the existing Electrical trade and incorporation of a new Advanced Solar trade, and the rehabilitation of existing facilities to accommodate the expansion of the existing Carpentry trade at the Ramey Job Corps Center. The expansion will total approximately 6,000 gross square feet and the rehabilitation will total approximately 2,400 gross square feet. The work includes, but is not limited to, miscellaneous site improvements in the form of general landscaping, roads, parking, drainage, connection to all utility lines and site/security lighting. The extent of work is described in Parts IV & V of this Scope of Work (SOW).

The design will comply with identified and targeted standards established by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system; however, no LEED Certification is required.

“Contractor Quick Reference Checklist,” Attachment 1, is a required form that identifies a simplified but not all inclusive list of issues that the Contractor needs to address as due diligence items during the design phase.

The JCH-814 paragraphs shown provide an initial design reference; however, reference to other sources may be required to fully address the issue.

“Quality Control, Testing, and Inspection Services Requirements”, Attachment 2, outlines the minimum quality control, testing, and inspection procedures and practices which are required to ensure the completed construction meets or exceeds both the contract requirements and the Government-accepted contractor design..

II. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS/ SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

A. LEGALLY MANDATED STANDARDS

The Contractor shall conform to:

1. Code of Federal Regulations

a) Safety and Health………………………………………..OSHA CFR Part 1926.62

b) Historic Preservation …………………………………..…….…….36 CFR Part 800

c) Disability/Accessibility …….…….…………………………….….28 CFR Part 36

The design must be in strict conformance with the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS) of 2007 from the General Services Administration. The Contractor shall conduct a thorough research of these guidelines and, without exception, comply to the fullest extent, including those guidelines pertaining to the visually and hearing impaired.

C-5

No deviations from these guidelines are allowed. However, if the Contractor, at any Design Review Submittal, demonstrates that the compliance requirements would be technically infeasible or that compliance will cause an undue burden as defined by the guidelines, the Contractor is obligated to notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, for a final decision on such requirements.

(These standards can be printed from the website at http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfr-table-search.html).

d) Life Safety Code……………...…………………………………………NFPA-101

The Contractor’s responsibility for safety related requirements extends to all impacted areas and access ways affected by the work.

2. National and State Building Codes

The Contractor shall conform to all applicable construction codes, ordinances, and regulations including the national building code used in the local area, laws and local ordinances. The most recent version of the International Building Code (IBC) will be used for all seismic related design, and the version will be coordinated with the local jurisdiction on the version for the non-seismic design. Deviations and interpretations will be subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer. The most recent versions of the IBC and the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) will be used for wind provisions as follows (hyperlinked documents):

a) Wind Provisions in the 2015 International Building Code® (February 2017)

b) Wind Provisions in the 2015 International Existing Building Code® (February 2017)

3. Permits and Licenses

The Ramey Job Corps Center is a leased facility, whose Lessor is the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Education Department.

The Contractor shall research, and be responsible for obtaining and paying for, all regulatory, permitting and licensing requirements required to perform this work in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico and in accordance with JCH-814, Section 1.7. No drawings or specifications will be submitted for building permits unless express notification in writing is received from the Contracting Officer (CO).

Drawings and calculations shall be stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer.

Coordinate all appropriate permits with the Lessor, the local Department of Natural Resources and Energy, and the local permitting office (Administración de Reglamentos y Permisos ARPE).

B. JOB CORPS GUIDELINES

1. JCH-814: Planning, Design, and Construction Administration Guidelines for Architects and

Engineers.

http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfr-table-search.html https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/129665 https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/129663

C-6

Job Corps publication JCH-814, September 2013 "Planning, Design, and Construction Administration Guidelines for Architects and Engineers," including Amendment 1 dated September 2015, is a companion document to this scope of work. This reference will from this point forward be referenced as “JCH-814.” The JCH-814 can be found at http://www.solicitationattachments.com/jch814. It presents the A/E Contractor additional design criteria not specifically stated in the scope of work.

Where conflicts occur between the requirements of the contract and JCH-814, the requirements of the contract will take precedence.

C. OTHER STANDARDS

1. Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Analyses

LCC will be utilized as the basis for recommendations in making the selections of energy sources, systems and equipment, and building materials. However, the design must be consistent and in accordance with the extent of the Scope of Work and the budget. At the 15% Schematic submittal, the LCC analyses for the mechanical systems and fuel will be submitted with recommendations for review, and will be approved and revised as necessary as equipment is selected and specified. The LCC analyses will be run on NIST's BLCC and Discount software programs. On request, the Department of Labor will furnish this software to the Contractor free of charge. The BLCC program will be run on the OMB A-94 guidelines, using the discount factor from the latest edition of OMB Circular No. A-94 under “Real Interest Rates.”

(The BLCC software is also available on the Federal Energy Management Program website at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/information/download_blcc.html under the heading “BLCC 5.3(latest version)” for a Windows version).

2. Sustainable Design and Building Requirements

The project will use design methodologies, materials, systems and components that minimize negative environmental impacts, increase energy efficiency and make use of renewable energy technologies. Within budget constraints it will embody best current sustainable design and building practices. The project team is to propose the highest possible implementation of these strategies for consideration by the Department of Labor, the Regional DOL office, and the Job Corps Center.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES: Pursuant to Executive Order (EO) 13693, new buildings and renovations will incorporate the Guiding Principles (GP) to the extent practical and that are lifecycle cost-effective. To comply with the EO, refer to the tab titled "Compliance Summary Checklist” in Attachment 2, Job Corps High Performance and Sustainable Buildings New Buildings Compliance Tool. The compliance tool may be downloaded from http://www.solicitationattachments.com/hpsb/hpsb.xlsx. The Contractor shall use the Compliance Forms and instructions included in the Tool as a guide for implementing the Guiding Principles. The Summary Checklist provides a quick list of the Guiding Principles and the actions required to achieve them. As Guiding Principles are met, marking the corresponding checkbox on the Compliance Forms will populate a total percentage of Guiding Principles achieved. The Compliance Forms also provide a space for notes or to list supporting documents. In the event that a Guiding Principle cannot be met, http://www.solicitationattachments.com/jch814 http://www.solicitationattachments.com/hpsb/hpsb.xlsx

C-7 the Compliance Forms also provide an opportunity to explain why. The Summary Checklist provides a quick view to easily review compliance overtime.

To the extent required by this Scope of Work, the Contractor’s design team shall incorporate the requirements of the Guiding Principles into the design and verify implementation. Upon project completion, each team member will fill out and sign the compliance form for each assigned category and provide the exhibits required per the Job Corps High Performance and Sustainable Buildings New Buildings Compliance Tool. Each compliance form is provided on a separate tab in the compliance tool. The team member/professional is to fill out the "Confirmation" section of each form and provide exhibits as noted in "Required Exhibits."

In the event that special circumstances exist that prevent compliance with one of Guiding Principles categories, the appropriate team member may use the "Compliance Notes" field to describe why the project could not achieve compliance. This field may also be used to describe any unique or alternative compliance method, if previously approved by DOL. Provide copies of emails or letters from DOL that approve any decisions for non-compliance with a Guiding Principle category.

There will be at least one sustainable design Accredited Professional (AP) as an integral and active member of the design team.

The project will also meet required energy use and sustainability goals as described below and as noted in the JCH-814.

The Contractor shall engage in an integrated design process as defined in the JCH-814.

The Contractor shall verify construction phase sustainability measures as detailed in the JCH-814 and as noted on the respective Compliance Forms. The specifications will include requirements to provide any necessary documentation.

3. Energy Conservation

All new work is to be designed in accordance with energy conservation opportunities and applicable federal directives. In response to energy conservation concerns, all proposed construction must conform to ASHRAE 90.1-2013 for all buildings except low rise residential buildings. Low rise residential buildings, three stories or fewer above grade, will conform to the International Energy Conservation Code IECC 2012. The ASHRAE 90.1 -2013 standards or IECC 2009 for low rise residential buildings will be used as a baseline for energy comparisons.

It is the Department of Labor’s policy to purchase energy and water consuming products which are in the upper 25% of energy and water efficiency whenever practicable and cost effective. All work must be designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (or latest version), which includes Sections 103, 104, 109, 131, 553; Executive Order 13693; and all other applicable federal, state, and local codes and directives. New equipment will be Energy Star or FEMP designated products where applicable.

C-8

Building annual energy consumption calculations, methods and presentation will conform to nationally recognized standards such as found in ASHRAE Handbooks. A calculation summary statement of the estimated annual energy consumption, expressed in BTU/GSF/YR will be submitted with the 30%, 60% and final review submittals. Building energy will include lighting, all HVAC energy including heating, cooling, and ventilating loads, fans and pump motors energy, and domestic hot water supply energy.

The Contractor shall submit an energy analysis per ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Appendix G showing that the design reduces energy consumption by at least 30% for the new construction and 20% for the rehabilitation work compared to the baseline building. This analysis will be provided with the 30% design submission and will be revised as necessary with succeeding submittals.

The Contractor shall evaluate options for the use of energy and water conservation measures in building design and shall include a description of recommended options in the DESIGN NARRATIVE (see JCH-814 for narrative requirements).

4. Environmentally Preferable Products

The Contractor shall evaluate options for the use of environmentally preferable products and environmentally preferable building design and shall include a description of recommended options in the DESIGN NARRATIVE (see JCH-814 for narrative requirements).

5. Asbestos-Containing Materials, Lead-Based Paint and PCBs

The Contractor shall conduct a field investigation to identify ACM and lead-based paint affected by the rehabilitation activities. The field investigation will include destructive testing as required to identify and quantify the presence of ACM and lead-based paint. Where a field investigation is required to be performed in an occupied building, the Contractor shall coordinate with DOL and the Center Operator to determine the appropriate after-hours schedule for conducting of the investigation.

It is not intended that the ACM previously identified will be retested. However, suspect ACM not previously identified should be sampled to determine asbestos-content.

The Contractor shall conduct a field investigation for PCB fluorescent light ballasts for light fixtures impacted by this project only. The consultant shall not sample dielectric fluid from ballasts but shall rely on labeling to determine PCB status. Unlabeled ballasts will be assumed to be PCB-containing.

Note leaking PCB ballasts for special removal and disposal per 40 CFR 761.

An asbestos survey of the Center’s buildings was conducted in December 2003. The results of the survey and subsequent lab tests confirm no presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in the Auditorium Building 702. However, since this project entails areas beyond the Auditorium, there is no available data about ACM presence in the remainder of the Building 702 complex. For Contractor’s information only, a copy of the report can be downloaded from http://www.solicitationattachments.com/ramey/acm_survey.pdf. If asbestos is encountered, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer before proceeding, so that direction can be provided.

It is not intended that all identified asbestos be removed. Asbestos containing materials will only be removed as necessary to complete the rehabilitation work.

C-9

If directed, friable ACM will be abated prior to building demolition. Non-friable ACM will be abated prior to building demolition only as necessary to comply with the EPA National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) (40 CFR 61 Subpart M), and applicable State and Local regulations.

All asbestos abatement will be done by licensed, trained asbestos workers, supervisors, and contractors. An asbestos abatement work plan will be prepared by a licensed, trained asbestos project designer for submittal. Asbestos abatement work plan will include the list and location of materials to be abated, methods of abatement, containment setup and location, decontamination procedures, respiratory protection, all worker licenses, training certifications and medical certifications, and disposal plan including transportation and final disposal location. All asbestos work will be done in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The Contractor shall provide the services of an independent industrial hygienist or environmental consultant to conduct on-site project monitoring and air monitoring services during asbestos abatement, including laboratory services as needed. The consultant shall conduct on-site project monitoring and air-monitoring services during asbestos abatement including laboratory services as needed. The aforementioned monitoring and services will comprise the following:

a) Baseline air sampling (prior to abatement) with Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) laboratory analyses.

b) In-progress air monitoring and sampling with PCM laboratory analyses.

c) Final visual clearance inspections and final clearance air sampling using aggressive air sampling techniques. Sampling will be conducted in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and Local requirements.

d) Submit a final abatement report certifying that asbestos abatement work has been completed in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations.

Note: The Contractor will pay for all costs for additional sampling and analyses resulting from improper execution of the asbestos removal or final clean up.
