II. THE PROJECT
A. Project Description
GSA has contracted with ZGF as the Architect of Record for the project. ZGF is responsible for the design and construction documents for the Gate 7 Parking Garage and will remain under contract during construction to provide Construction Administration services. ZGF’s construction phase responsibilities include review of Contractor submittals, responses to Requests for Information, design clarifications, review of substitutions, responses to field conditions, participation in construction meetings as required, and other typical Architect of Record construction administration services.
GSA has contracted with AECOM to provide Construction Management support services for the project.
AECOM will support GSA in project coordination, schedule monitoring, document control, inspection coordination, quality oversight, safety and occupational support, cost and change management support, commissioning coordination, and other construction management activities.
The Contractor shall coordinate with GSA, AECOM, ZGF, DHS, campus operations personnel, security personnel, the Operations and Maintenance contractor, utility providers, and other GSA-designated stakeholders. The Contractor shall not perform architectural or engineering professional design services, except for Contractor-responsible construction engineering, delegated design, temporary works engineering, and other engineering services expressly required by the contract documents for the Contractor’s means and methods or construction responsibilities.
GSA may issue additional separate contracts or task orders for specialty services, inspections, testing, commissioning, security coordination, utility support, or other consultant services as may be reasonably necessary to complete the project.
1. SUPPLEMENTAL PROJECT INFORMATION
The project is located within the St. Elizabeths West Campus, an active federal campus with strict access control, security procedures, limited parking, controlled haul routes, and ongoing campus operations. Successful project delivery will require careful coordination of construction access, staging, laydown, worker parking, material deliveries, utility interruptions, security impacts, roadways, shuttle operations, pedestrian circulation, safety, and emergency access.
The project site is located in the lower northwest portion of the campus and includes significant topographic changes, steep slopes, wooded areas, previously disturbed areas, existing utilities, stormwater infrastructure, and sensitive environmental features. The site is bounded in part by Sweetgum Lane and a stream corridor that includes wetland areas and prior restoration work. The Contractor shall protect existing streams, wetlands, buffers, drainage systems, utilities, historic resources, landscape features, and campus infrastructure in accordance with the contract documents and applicable permits.
The project is within a National Historic Landmark campus. Construction activities shall be performed in a manner that protects existing historic buildings, historic landscape features, 6 of 77 CUI
SOL.: 47PB5126R0038
viewsheds, roadways, walls, and other campus resources to remain. The Contractor shall promptly notify GSA if previously unidentified historic, archeological, cultural, environmental, or hazardous conditions are encountered.
The project includes a mechanically ventilated parking garage. The Contractor shall coordinate construction of the garage ventilation system, including ventilation equipment, shafts, ductwork, louvers or openings, controls, gas detection / air quality monitoring devices, power, emergency power interfaces, fire/life-safety interfaces, testing, balancing, commissioning support, and turnover requirements with the structural, architectural, façade, electrical, fire protection, fire alarm, security, and controls work. The ventilation system shall be installed, tested, balanced, and commissioned in accordance with the contract documents to provide adequate ventilation and prevent accumulation of vehicle exhaust, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, other combustion byproducts, and related gases or volatile compounds within the garage. Gas detection / air quality monitoring devices shall be provided only as required by the contract documents and applicable codes, and shall be coordinated with GSA, AECOM, ZGF, DHS, GSA Safety, and Operations and Maintenance personnel to confirm appropriate device type, location, calibration, alarm/trouble reporting, maintainability, and operational reliability. The Contractor shall support commissioning, functional testing, training, and turnover of the ventilation and monitoring systems to demonstrate proper operation and reduce nuisance alarms or recurring trouble conditions.
The project façade has been designed with a classical architectural character, consisting of a panelized precast envelope with in-laid brick. The Contractor shall coordinate brick masonry, backup systems, supports, shelf angles, ties, flashings, weeps, sealants, waterproofing, louvers, openings, movement joints, mockups, testing, and quality control requirements with the contract documents.
Successful project delivery will depend on active Contractor coordination and collaboration with GSA, AECOM, ZGF, DHS, campus security, campus operations, the Operations and Maintenance contractor, commissioning personnel, testing and inspection agencies, and other subject matter experts.
