Design/Build: The Contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, supplies, and consultant services and all site investigations, surveys, analysis, sampling, testing and verification of existing field conditions as required for design and construction of a new main classroom building within the ICE, Advanced Training and Operations Complex (ATOC) at Ft Benning, Georgia.

Contractor shall provide complete design analysis incorporating all engineering computations, analysis, test, and survey results, building code (including fire protection, life safety, and environmental) review as it pertains/affects/relates to this project, equipment and material data and documentation of existing conditions.

The project requires the design and construction of a new, single-story building. The building will house classroom and training functions. Required spaces include a gallery/entrance area for receptions, office spaces, team rooms, breakroom, classrooms, gear locker rooms, restrooms, and building services spaces. Additional details are provided within each corresponding section. All work is to be in accordance with the 35% drawings, specifications, and project manual unless otherwise noted within this SOW.

Site improvements include a road extension, one large parking area, concrete sidewalks, utility line connections, and drainage structures.

The work includes, but is not limited to design, clearing and grubbing, site earthwork as needed to prepare the site and infrastructure development for the new building, selective demolition of site elements to accommodate the new classroom to include fencing, 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. Ork also includes building commissioning and building enclosure commissioning.

The 35% conceptual building design 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.

The 35% conceptual design may be found in Appendix A. Deviations from the original layout may be found in Appendix B.

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

Total Period of Performance: 900 calendar days (After Notice to Proceed for Design)

Option 1: Total Period of Performance: 750 calendar days (After Notice to Proceed for Design)

Option 2: Contract Acceleration for Reduced Total Period of Performance The Government is seeking input from the industry to provide an accelerated total period of performance using proven acceleration methods. This option is included as an element of the Technical Evaluation. The proposal should include one page of narrative providing the most aggressive, yet realistic total period of performance (After Notice to Proceed for Design) and explaining how the acceleration will be achieved. The proposal should also include an accelerated preliminary project schedule demonstrating exactly how the acceleration will be achieved. Under this option, all requirements as outlined in this Statement of Work, applicable appendices, and stated Liquidated Damages still apply.
