PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK

The project requires the design and construction of a new Secure Housing Unit (SHU) at the Florence Service Processing Center (SPC), Florence, AZ.

The work includes, but is not limited to, design, site earthwork as needed to prepare the site for the new building, selective demolition of site and utility structure elements to accommodate the new SHU, foundations, superstructure, roof framing, building envelope, building interior construction, finishes, interior and exterior painting, and building systems. Such systems include, but are not limited to electrical power, lighting, special systems, fire suppression, heating, air-conditioning and ventilating, security, telecommunications, plumbing, and alarm. All exterior building systems and equipment surfaces exposed to exterior environments must have protective coatings. All coatings, interior and exterior, must provide protection from ISO Corrosivity Category 5 conditions, or equivalent. It is intended to provide long term durability to the surfaces and coatings in the local environmental conditions. Coating colors will match adjacent architectural aesthetics.

The conceptual building drawings present a building design that meets the needs of the ICE program and is acceptable to the Government. This does not preclude the Contractor from making improvements to the design so long as such improvements are consistent with the requirements and are acceptable to the Government. The building drawing plans are conceptual and have been provided to illustrate spatial adjacencies and design intent. The Contractor must provide a complete design. In completing the design, the Contractor will be allowed some latitude in manipulating the plans and elevations to improve functional layout, to accommodate structural, mechanical, electrical, and other systems, and to allow flexibility for design/esthetic expression. The spatial relationships and adjacencies, however, must be maintained, unless the Contractor recommends changes to the Government, and the Government approves such changes.

Site improvements include utility line connections, new fencing, pavements, drainage structures, new security walls and extensions of existing campus systems to serve the new building.

This contract will have separate Notices to Proceed (NTP) for Design and Construction.

This SOW includes a geotechnical report for Los Fresnos, TX. Assume the same soil conditions for this site.

Total Period of Performance: 730 calendar days (After Notice to Proceed for Design)

1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project requires the design and construction of a new, single-story Secure Housing Unit (SHU) consisting of 26 modular cells, two of which must comply with Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Standards; three-day rooms; three ABA-compliant showers; detainee search; storage spaces; security office control room; desk officer office; vestibules; recreation yards; and all associated spaces in accordance with the floor plan in Appendix A. The new building must be architecturally compatible with other structures on the SPC campus.

The existing campus layout and map for the SPC and its known existing utility’s locations may be found on the maps contained in Appendix A.

1.3 USING AGENCY

The owner and operator of the new facility is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.

1.4 Disclosure of Magnitude

Refer to RFP.

1.5 SECURITY PROVISIONS / FORCE PROTECTION

All personnel accessing the SPC must be prior approved by the ICE Security Division. Specific project security measures are provided elsewhere in these specifications. Background checks to access the SPC can take 60 days or longer.

The project is to be fully contained within a security fenced enclosure and access to the site is controlled via security protocols. The D-B Contractor must be responsible for constructing the perimeter security infrastructure needed to secure the site. The building is sited with setbacks that enable it to comply with current physical security requirements. Coordination with SPC personnel before removing or altering any fencing or security apparatus is required. All fencing removal and installation must be done with the plan to always provide containment at required levels.

During construction, access to the site will be from Memorial Drive. Security protocols for accessing the actual construction location will be less stringent than those required for accessing the main campus of the Service Processing Center.

1.6 SUSTAINABILITY

The project design and construction must comply with governing criteria as established by the International Energy Conservation Code. The design and construction are also encouraged to follow sustainability design principles as established by the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Certification Standards program, although such certification is not required. All DHS-owned new construction projects greater than 5,000 gross square feet (GSF) shall comply with the current version of the Council on Environmental Quality Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings.
