I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Note to the reader:

In this SOW the term Contractor refers to the Design-Build (DB) Team.

GENERAL:

The Contractor shall provide all labor and materials required to provide architectural, engineering, construction, and other related services necessary to design and to construct an office building compliant with applicable codes. Related services include, but are not limited to, site planning, soil borings, archaeological monitoring, utility relocation, environmental mitigations as defined in the environmental study, permitting, testing and inspection during construction, commissioning and potential additional geotechnical analysis of the site.

CONTRACT TYPE: Firm Fixed Price (FFP)

CONTRACT OPTIONS:

1) Full excavation of the northeast corner of the building, as depicted in the renderings of the Program Development Study (PDS, see Section V), with additional penetrations for natural daylight (priced).

2) Clerestory windows at the new visitor entryway (priced).

3) Raised floor system throughout a majority of the building (priced).

4) Exposed ceiling for industrial aesthetic (priced).

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The General Services Administration (GSA) intends to award a firm-fixed price Design- Build Contract for the modernization of Building 48 on the Denver Federal Center campus pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures (FAR Subpart 36.3), incorporating Design and Construction Excellence, as well as Art in Architecture. The project will convert the current building use as a warehouse to a modern office space for a Federal tenant.

Building 48 is an one‐story structure, with partial basements and a small mechanical penthouse, located on the north edge of the Denver Federal Center Campus, between 3rd Street and 5th Street, and between Center Avenue and North Avenue. The original building was constructed in 1941 during World War II as part of a small arms munitions manufacturing plant. The structure has been expanded several times to its current area of 154,422 gross square feet. After the war, it was converted to office and storage use by the Federal government. Most recently it housed the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) until being vacated in 2013.

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR

OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Although numerous additions have been constructed since 1941, none of the expansions involved significant improvements to the existing parts of the structure. The most recent major addition was in 1971. Due to its age and lack of modernization, the building’s architectural, mechanical and electrical systems have exceeded their useful service life. The structural system is adequate for upgraded use. Currently the building is empty.

The Interior Business Center (IBC) currently occupies three lease locations in Lakewood, CO, totaling 195,586 USF. IBC currently has 699 employees at the Lakewood locations and plans to expand to 890 employees in the Building 48 location.

IBC will be the sole tenant of Building 48 once building upgrades are complete. They will consolidate all of their functions into the building, and expand within it. A majority of the building would be open office space, along with a number of conference rooms, offices, and other shared space.

Architectural goals include the incorporation of welcoming visiting entry, usable outdoor spaces for employees, and the incorporation of natural daylight throughout the space. In order to support the incoming personnel, site improvements include the paving of a new parking lot directly adjacent to the building. Performance and sustainability goals include LEED and SITES certification, as well compliance with GSA’s gBUILD program.

2. SUPPLEMENTAL PROJECT INFORMATION:

a. Program Development Study (PDS)

The PDS is provided within the Appendix (Section V) of this SOW. The PDS provides details related to IBC’s mission, organizational structural, and Program of Requirements (POR). It also includes a technical evaluation of existing building conditions, and recommended building improvements to accomplish the project goals.

The PDS is intended to serve as a guideline to inform the design to accomplish the Project Objectives listed in Section B below, and for preparation of the Contractor’s initial Design Concept. Renderings are provided which show possible design solutions; however, these were used for scoping, budgeting and visioning purposes, only, and are not intended to be strictly adhered. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to provide the design for the space within the design and construction budget.

That being stated, there are features of the PDS concept, which are not specifically required to accomplish the scope, but are highly desired if able to be accomplished within the range provided in the solicitation. These features are listed as Options in the section above, and are to be provided and priced with the Contractor’s proposal in Phase 2 or the procurement.

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR

OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Additionally, the PDS provides a list of Technical Performance Criteria. This is based on the observations, interpretations, and recommendations of the architectural and engineering team performing the study, again for scoping, budgeting, and visioning. This also informed the environmental investigations performed by GSA, which are discussed in the paragraph below. The Technical Performance Criteria may be used by the Contractor for scoping and pricing the Design Concept, but it is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure adherence to latest codes and standards during design, as well as produce the best value approach and design to accomplish the Project Objectives listed in Section I, B.

b. Environmental Studies

Multiple sources of environmental information are provided in Section V. The PDS includes a lead and asbestos survey for the interior of Building 48, as well as a general environmental investigation of the site east of the building, intended for the paving of the new parking lot. To support the new parking lot, the satellite buildings east of the building will be demolished, as identified in the PDS. Section V also includes the Pre-Demolition Survey for each of these buildings. No constructive testing has been performed in the roofing of Building 48, which is suspect for asbestos. This will be the responsibility of the Contractor following award.

The Denver Federal Center campus is known to have soils contaminated with asbestos and other materials throughout its use as a WWII munitions manufacturing facility and other Federal operations. An agreement between GSA and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) includes the investigation of sites throughout the campus suspect for containing such contaminants. GSA has performed a Phase 4 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Investigation (RFI) for the Denver Federal Center (DFC) Investigation Area (IA) 4C (Phase 4 RFI), which includes the site area for the new Building 48 parking lot and is provided in Section V. GSA is in the process of completing a Corrective Measure Workplan for Denver Federal Center (DFC) Investigation Area (IA) 4C. Once this completed, GSA shall provide the document to the offerors.

c. Security

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) performed a Facility Security Assessment (FSA) which resulted in a recommended that Building 48 be categorized as a Facility Security Level (FSL) 2. Based on that FSA, DHS also provided GSA with a Vulnerability Survey Report (provided in Section V), inclusive of recommended physical security infrastructure to be provided in and around the building as part of the modernization.

d. Stormwater

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR

OFFICIAL USE ONLY

A memorandum (provided in Section V) was issued by the Office of the Chief Architect (OCA) on June 20, 2019 in reference to the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, Section 438 (Stormwater). It provides an interpretation of the Act and language to ensure compliance with respect to projects within PBS.

Some of the language within the memorandum was deemed unclear as it relates to projects occurring within Region 8; therefore, a request for clarifications was issued from the Region 8 Environmental Programs Group, the responses for which are provided in Section V. Based on these clarifications, it is Region 8’s interpretation that the Building 48 Modernization Project must offset the 25 year, 95th percentile stormwater volume with respect to the development required of the parking lot, only.

While the roofing of the building will be altered by modernization, because it is pre-existing, no stormwater offset is required for the roof area.

To assist the Contractor in their proposal and pricing, a volume calculation for the 25 year, 95th percentile is provided in Section V, which shall be validated by the Contractor following award. Also provided in Section V is Technical Guidance related to Section 438 to further assist in the effort, as well as a DFC Stormwater Survey.

B. PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Project Goals:

GSA, in collaboration with its clients, stakeholders, and contractors, intends to modernize Building 48 to an office building that exceeds IBC’s organizational needs, and be a focus of pride for IBC employees.

GSA’s Design Excellence program requires the contractor to participate in project peer reviews. Peer reviews invite distinguished private-sector peers from the GSA Public Buildings Service Commissioner’s National Register of Peer Professionals to assist GSA in the professional critique of the project design. The Contractor’s lead designer and Design Team presents the project design and the peers provide suggestions and recommendations consistent with the project objectives and program. The Design Excellence process shall include a minimum of three reviews during the design phase, two of the reviews will occur during the Concept Development phase and one review during the Design Development phase.

The broad objective of these reviews is to have discussions among professionals that focus on design, not only as it impacts issues of program requirements, function, form, and detail, but also as it affects building performance and project delivery. These conversations can address general design strategies as well as more specific topics such as materials and building systems.

The first design peer review will occur as a part of the Phase II evaluation of the RFP submissions. This review will not require the active participation by the Contractor.

The second peer review will occur after award of the contract and is intended to refine the design prior to the Final Concept Design Submission. After the final concept design submission and review, the project shall be submitted for review approval by the GSA’s PBS Commissioner before progressing into design development. Representatives of the contractor team, such as the lead designer and selected A/E design team members, shall attend the Commissioner’s Concept Presentation, held at GSA’s Office of Design and Construction in Washington, DC, and present the concept design with other supporting project materials as necessary.

The final design peer review will occur mid-way through the design development phase and will focus primarily on space planning, building finishes and interior systems.

2. CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR

OFFICIAL USE ONLY

The GSA Construction Excellence program provides guidance to the GSA construction projects through collaboration with leaders of the private sector construction community.

This partnership allows for the development and implementation of innovative approaches to project management that will provide the Federal government with the highest quality construction.

Construction Excellence in the Design Stage: Includes managing the design process to ensure that the project remains within the contracted budget by selecting systems and materials that maximize performance and operability, facilitating timely design communications utilizing a web-based project management system (ePM), and leveraging the Contractor and the CMa construction and budget control expertise.

Construction Excellence in the Construction Stage: Includes managing the construction to ensure that the project remains within the established budget, conducting Project Delivery Team partnering sessions, facilitating timely construction communications utilizing a web-based project management system (ePM), performing construction peer reviews, and encouraging the use of alternative dispute resolution methods to resolve disputes.

GSA construction excellence program provides guidance concerning quality, maintaining scope and budget and meeting schedule deadlines during construction. A series of meetings, usually at the 15%, 50%, and 80% stages of the construction effort, are facilitated by a GSA Central Office representative to give the benefit of their experience in making observations about the project. The Contractor shall participate in these meetings.

A typical meeting entails a tour of the project, followed by interviews with the Contractor and GSA, and to hear the questions raised by and the opinions expressed by the peers.

A GSA Central Office representative shall facilitate each meeting, and at the completion of the day, shall express verbally and later in writing, opinions of all present as well as a recommendation for resolution of issues.

For additional information related to the Construction Excellence program, refer to https://www.gsa.gov/real-estate/design-construction/construction-excellence.

3. ART IN ARCHITECTURE (AiA) PROGRAM Art in Architecture will be a component of this project and may consist of a new AiA commission, restoration of existing fine art, or a combination of both.

The GSA Art in Architecture program entails commissioning artists to create publicly scaled and permanently installed works of art that are appropriate to the diverse uses and architectural vocabulary of new and substantially modernized federal buildings and courthouses. This project will include the commissioning of one or more artists to create and install artwork under separate contract with GSA. The program requires the active participation and support of the AE.

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR

OFFICIAL USE ONLY

The AE lead designer (or designee) will participate in at least three (3) meetings with other members of an expert art in architecture panel convened by the GSA to make recommendations regarding the artwork to be incorporated into the project. The primary roles of the panel are: to nominate and consider artist candidates through individual recommendations and evaluations; to develop a short list of finalists from which the GSA will select the project artist(s); and to review and provide critiques of the final concept(s) presented by the commissioned artist(s) for artistic merit, feasibility of fabrication and installation, and long-term maintainability.

Upon award of the GSA Art in Architecture contract, the AE will participate in subsequent meetings with the artist(s) as necessary to assure the successful integration of the commissioned artwork in the AE's design and construction documents. This may include but is not limited to architectural and engineering design physical space, structural systems, sitework, utilities, lighting, infrastructure, etc to support the commissioned art.

4. ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY

The Contractor shall use an integrated design process to meet or exceed the performance requirements for energy and sustainability and provide a design that will achieve the goals for the construction of a high-performing green building as set forth in the contract documents. In addition, the Contractor shall provide a design that minimizes the amount of energy required to operate the building.

The primary performance requirements relating to energy and sustainability are found in Section 5.4 “Whole Building Energy Performance Requirements” of the P100, which provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

a. The completed building shall comply with the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 2005 (EISA 2007) requirement that the predicted energy performance meets or exceeds 30% energy consumption savings as compared to ASHRAE 90.1.

b. The Contractor shall follow the ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G- Building Performance Rating Method, which provides specific guidance on the rules and procedures to simulate building energy use.

c. The design shall meet 65% fossil fuel-generated energy consumption savings as compared to ASHRAE 90.1 and Appendix G thereto (note that this is different from the energy cost savings required for LEED credits). The design shall meet or exceed fossil fuel reduction requirements mandated by Section 433 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). If the Contractor is unable to achieve the mandate contained in EPAct, the Contractor shall provide the CO with: (1) documentation to establish the highest level of estimated energy savings for the proposed design; and (2) documentation to establish why EPAct cannot be satisfied.

d. Guiding Principles Checklist (GPC):

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR

OFFICIAL USE ONLY

In February 2016, and in accordance with Executive Order 13696 (Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, March 19, 2015), the Council on Environmental Quality issued the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings and Associated Instructions (the Guiding Principles). Each agency subject to EO 13696 (including GSA) is responsible for evaluating which of its buildings comply with the Guiding Principles, and ensuring that sufficient evidence and documentation is readily available to demonstrate compliance with the Guiding Principles for those buildings. (As set forth below, GSA uses a Guiding Principles Checklist, provided in Section V, subsection D) to track and report its new construction and major modernization projects’ compliance with the Guiding Principles. The GPCs are only required for these two project types, which either construct or significantly expand structures, or replace nearly all major building systems. GSA makes no warranties or guarantees regarding the Checklist and, thus, the Contractor should not rely on or use the Checklist as a source for determining mandatory design requirements. That stated, in developing the design submissions, the Contractor should refer to the Checklist and be prepared to articulate, via GSA’s web-based gBUILD database described below, how GPC requirements are being met by the project’s design and construction, and why certain requirements, if any, cannot be met (e.g., because not applicable or not life-cycle-cost effective (as those terms as described in the Guiding Principles)).

e. Energy Modeling and Performance:

The Contractor shall develop an energy model to predict the annual energy consumption of the building. (Note that the energy model is different from the energy cost savings required for LEED credits.) The Contractor shall utilize the BIM model to serve as the basis of the energy model. See BIM Guide 05 for detailed requirements. The energy model shall integrate energy-related information and criteria from other sections of the SOW that may affect energy savings. In developing the energy model, the following definitions, assumptions, and conditions shall apply:

i. Baseline Building: The baseline building is based on the minimum requirements set forth by ASHRAE / IESNA Standard 90.1-2019 and Appendix G thereto. (Note that this is not the Energy Cost Budget Method used by ASHRAE for standard code compliance calculations.)

ii. Proposed Building: The building designed by the Contractor.

iii. Simulations: The simulations shall be modeled with an 8,760 hour program in accordance with ASHRAE 90.1-2019.

iv. Updates: The Contractor shall calculate the annual energy usage and

Energy Use Intensity, in kBTU/GSF/year, at each phase of the design process from concept submittal through final construction documents.

The Contractor shall register the project and achieve for certification with the U.S.

Green Building Council (USGBC) for LEED® and SITES™. The Contractor shall pay all fees associated with registering, applying for, appealing, and otherwise obtaining LEED and SITES certifications. The contractor shall list the U.S.

General Services Administration as the owner. The project shall be listed as Non-Confidential.

The Contractor shall:

Take the lead role in coordinating all activities of the various contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and stakeholders associated with the project to maximize the ability to achieve the required LEED and SITES certifications;

i. Provide all services reasonably necessary to obtain the SITES and LEED® certification levels;

ii. Review, prepare, collect, and otherwise assemble all documentation needed to support the SITES and LEED® certification submission, including reviewing, analyzing, preparing, and processing any appeals relating to the denial of any credit(s).

The Contractor shall not submit any documentation to USGBC without first obtaining the written approval of the CO.

In preparing the design, the Contractor shall use its professional judgment in deciding how to best design the project to acquire enough credits to achieve the required LEED and SITES certification. That being stated, in deciding which credits to incorporate into the design, the Contractor shall also be cognizant of and consider, among others, the overall scope and nature of the project; the goals of GSA, its tenant agency(s), and the mission of the tenant agency(s);

location of the project; and the studies, analysis, and other documents included or attached to this SOW. The Contractor shall submit all possible credits to USGBC, even those more than the required minimum certifications.

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR

OFFICIAL USE ONLY

The Contractor shall maintain a complete, accurate, and updated SITES and LEED® rating checklist throughout the project and, in addition, include a copy of same at each design submission.

The Contractor shall provide the CO with a milestone schedule for various submissions required by USGBC. Those milestones might include, but not be limited to, the initial registration; various design stages; various construction stages; commissioning; and post-occupancy. The milestone schedule shall include a requirement that the Contractor submit documentation to USGBC to obtain a final LEED® rating one year following Substantial Completion (as determined by the CO).

g. GSA High Performance Building Tracking gBUILD:

GSA utilizes an online system called the Green Building Upgrade Information Lifecycle Database (gBUILD) to centrally track and report sustainability information for its design and construction program. One of the main purposes of the gBUILD system is to track, document, and otherwise demonstrate compliance with the Guiding Principles (E.O. 13693).

The Contractor shall input information into gBUILD at the following four milestones:

i. Final Design Concept Submission (after DB Award)

ii. 35% Design Development Submission

iii. Pre-Final Construction Documents Submission

iv. Substantial Completion

v. Required information for projects includes: scope/technology details;

anticipated energy and water performance; and total/diverted tons of construction and demolition waste at substantial completion. For new construction and major modernization projects, the Contractor shall also input information into gBUILD to record compliance with the Guiding Principles Checklist described above.
