Roswell Office Building Project Manual and RFP Summary

This project manual and request for proposals (RFP) document the construction of a new approximately 9,800 square foot, single-story Type IIB fully sprinklered office building for the New Mexico Department of Health's Public Health Division in Roswell to serve Chaves County. The project scope encompasses a complete new building structure and associated site improvements, with construction documents including detailed specifications across 33 divisions covering general requirements, concrete work, structural steel, masonry, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, specialties, fire suppression systems, plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, communications, fire alarm systems, earthwork, exterior improvements, and utilities. The procurement will be conducted under the Competitive Sealed Proposals for Construction and Facility Maintenance, Services and Repairs rule per New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) 1.4.8, resulting in a single-source award. The construction documents contain additive alternates that become part of the work only if enumerated in the Agreement, with future funding potentially required to add alternatives.

The contract term may extend to eight years from the date of the last signature if necessary, with the procurement resulting in a contractual agreement exclusively between two parties. Key project specifications include an elevation of 5,500 feet above sea level, seismic design category D with specific response coefficients, ambient temperatures ranging from freezing to above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, fire-rated construction elements, and compliance with 2021 International Building Code and applicable New Mexico state codes. The project requires performance-based design specifications for fire alarm systems by a NICET Level III designer with approval by the New Mexico State Fire Marshal's Office, comprehensive coordination drawings, manufacturer representatives for equipment installation checks, one-year warranties on all furnished equipment, and detailed operation and maintenance manuals. Construction quality assurance includes field testing by approved testing laboratories, compaction requirements of 85-95 percent maximum dry density depending on application, pressure testing of fire suppression and plumbing systems, and final inspection and certification by the contractor prior to acceptance.

No extra compensation shall be claimed or allowed on account of differences between actual dimensions, including dimensions of equipment, fixtures and materials furnished, and those indicated on the drawings. Contractor shall examine adjoining work, on which his work is dependent for perfect efficiency, and shall report any work which must be corrected.

Coordination of all fire suppression work within the building will be the direct responsibility of the Contractor. Review of submittal data in accordance with paragraph "Submittals" shall in no manner relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the proper installation of the fire suppression work within the available space. Installation of equipment and systems within the building space shall be carefully coordinated by the Division 21 Contractor with all building trades. Each contractor shall so harmonize his work with that of the several other trades that it may be installed in the most direct and workmanlike manner without hindering or handicapping the other trades. Piping interferences shall be handled by giving precedence to pipe lines which require a stated grade for proper operation. Sewer lines shall take precedence over water lines in determination of elevations. In all cases, lines requiring a stated grade for their proper operation shall have precedence over electrical conduit and ductwork. Installation of fire suppression, plumbing and HVAC systems within the ceiling cavity shall be in the following order of priority:

plumbing waste lines; roof drains; supply, return, outside air, makeup, and exhaust ductwork; fire sprinkler mains; fire sprinkler branch piping and sprinkler runouts; domestic hot and cold water;

control piping, wiring and conduit; miscellaneous special piping systems.
