1. SUMMARY

The United States Bureau of Reclamation, Central Valley Operations Office (CVO) is seeking to collocate with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) into a new General Services Administration (GSA) leased space. This document includes general CVO requirements. Refer to NOAA documentation for NOAA requirements. Should a conflict between CVO and NOAA requirements exist, CVO and NOAA will determine the most suitable requirement to be adopted. The collective requirements from NOAA and CVO are being referred to as the new Federal Operations Center (FOC).

2. SITE LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

2.1. The proposed location must be coordinated with the current zoning and growth plans of the local jurisdiction. The current growth plans must not interfere with Government operations.

2.2. The property shall be at least 1 mile away from any railyard.

2.3. The property must be located outside of the 500-year Federal Emergency

Management Agency floodplain.

2.4. The Property must have an Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard

(ABAAS) accessible route that provides a short and unobstructed path from the parking to the main entry point of the building.

2.5. The Government has 24/7 operations and does not want to disturb neighboring residential or other properties. The Government’s 24/7 operations must also not be adversely impacted by the operations of neighboring properties. In considering these requirements, the property shall have a dividing barrier (such as a two-way public road, canal, open space, tributary, etc.) acceptable to the LCO between the property and any residential areas, retail, or commercial properties having operations (such as deliveries, after hours activities, etc.) that would impact the Government’s operations. The property shall also not be located adjacent to high traffic or trucking areas and must support a 24/7 operation without significant noise or light interference.

2.6. The Property must reside within the described delineated area.

2.7. Provide ground space (20 feet by 35 feet) for a 60 feet to 70 feet high communications tower and an adjacent concrete or similar Communication Tower Data Structure (120 square feet). This area to have anti-climb security perimeter fencing.

2.8. The property must provide direct line of sight to 38.70787535117413, -

121.15724804201218 (top of Folsom Dam) to facilitate microwave communication needs. The line of sight should not be obstructed by anything on the property throughout the term of the Lease. The Government has the right to reject any properties that do not meet the Communications Tower radio frequency testing requirements prior to lease award if the proposed location is not acceptable to the LCO. The Lessor will not obstruct and will not keep any obstructions on the property for the term of the lease that causes any interference with the line of sight for the communications tower and path of radio frequency.

2.9. The property must meet Interagency Security Committee Risk Management Process Federal Security Level II for Federal facilities or can be reasonably modified to meet these standards.

2.10. The property shall have a turnaround for delivery trucks, touring buses, and large commercial vehicles (i.e., garbage or recycling vehicles, deliver vehicles, cranes, equipment trailers, etc.). Delivery trucks must have access to CVO’s designated Delivery Receipt Area. Circulation space acceptable to the LCO is required for tour buses that visit the facility. Buses need an ample amount of room to drive through the parking lot and make turns. The parking lot should not be tight and should allow for this type of traffic.

2.11. Provide ground space with security perimeter fence near the building to locate the emergency generator and fuel storage for ease of access, maintenance, and support for CVO operations.

2.12. Provide separate metering for all utilities to the CVO space.

2.13. Onsite parking for all federal employees, guests, collaborators, supporting operations partners must be located on the property with the Federal Operations Center. CVO requires a minimum of 90 parking spaces per the Paragraph 3.2.

2.14. A minimum 4,050 ABOA SF is required to be located on the ground floor. Other spaces need not be on the ground floor but must be located no higher than the next level above. Identified room adjacency requirements must be observed. Spaces on each floor must be contiguous.

2.15. The Government reserves the right to reject locations that the Government determines are subject to potential inundation or obstruction of access due to inundation resulting from the failure of a Dam, a portion of a Dam, or other water-related facilities.

2.16. Min 7,870 ABOA SF to be a minimum 250 lb/ft floor load. At least 2,500 ABOA SF out of Min 7,870 ABOA SF to be on the 1st floor.

264.175 EPA compliant spill containment, corrosion resistant floor.

3.4. Design Requirements

The CVO has requirements for electrical, telecommunications, fire protection, lightning protection, mechanical and structural systems, security, and grounding. These requirements must be met; otherwise, mission-critical operations will be negatively affected. Therefore, CVO will pursue a design recommended to ensure these requirements are addressed and completed during the initial tenant build-out. The building shall be designed using resilient materials, either cast-in-place concrete, brick cladding, or equivalent material on all vertical surfaces. Roofing materials shall be resilient; standing seam metal roofing (or equivalent material). Regulatory requirements require rooms identified by CVO as Critical Security Rooms must be housed within the same collective area and have secured, common ingress and egress points to access the area housing these rooms. All common access points to this collective area must have an access control vestibule (i.e.., “sally port”) design with each door being secured by CVO’s physical access control system and video surveilled. The perimeter walls associated with this area as well as the individual walls associated with rooms located inside this area must all be true slab-to-slab construction.

Landscaping shall be neatly trimmed to minimize the opportunity for concealment of individuals, packages/containers, and parking areas. If Landscaping exists, the Lessor shall provide trees, hedges, berms, or any combination of these to create buffer zones to separate public areas and other functions. Landscaping shall not obstruct the views of security guards and Video Surveillance System (VSS) cameras or interfere with lighting or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) equipment. Landscaping on the property shall also not interfere with the utility of equipment or structures or obstruct communication tower or antenna line of sight requirements.

4. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

4.1. Accessibility

The CVO operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year; therefore, the CVO requires uninterrupted access to the facility and all spaces subject to its lease.
