1.0 Purpose of Project

1.1 Introduction

The following Agency-Specific Requirements (ASR) is intended to further describe the lease requirements for the U.S. Geological Survey, Utah Water Science Center Office and Moab Field Office. This ASR defines the USGS tenant improvement requirements (Modifications) for offices, support spaces, parking, special spaces, and laboratories. Furthermore, it is intended to provide design and test-fit guidance to the owner in the submittal of leased space offered.

The information is here to assist the owner in preparing their offers, square footages of individual rooms listed are approximate and are provided as a guideline for space layout and to ensure that the space and site offered will provide for an efficient layout and accommodate the needs of the U.S. Geological Survey in an efficient and effective manner. It should be noted that this ASR has been developed prior to the award of a lease. When the offered space becomes available, it may be required to refine this program and make adjustments to accommodate the space offered.

1.2 Mission and Function

The USGS serves the Nation by providing reliable scientific information to describe and understand the

Earth; minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters; manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources; and enhance and protect our quality of life. USGS has become a world leader in the natural sciences thanks to our scientific excellence and responsiveness to society's needs.

The Utah Water Science Center’s mission is to provide reliable, impartial, and timely data, analyses, and reports that are needed to understand the Nation’s water resources. The Center actively promotes the use of this information by decision makers to:

• Minimize the loss of life and property as a result of water-related natural hazards, such as floods, droughts, and land movement.

• Effectively manage groundwater and surface-water resources for domestic, agricultural, commercial, industrial, recreational, and ecological uses.

• Protect and enhance water resources for human health, aquatic health, and environmental quality.

• Contribute to wise physical and economic development of the State’s resources for the benefit of present and future generations.

• Integrate the Center’s basic data and interpretive studies into broader interdisciplinary activities with other DOI bureaus, other Federal agencies, and State cooperative partners.

1.3 Green Building

A commitment to sustainable design is a priority for this project. Federal law and Executive Orders require the Government to apply good sound Green Building Principles for construction, environmental management, operation, and maintenance of federally funded buildings. Government agencies are called upon to promote energy efficiency, water conservation, and the use of renewable energy sources. The

Supplemental Lease Requirements incorporates all the required Green Building requirements for this procurement.

It should be the building owner’s intent to optimize the use of emerging energy management technologies through the implementation of a building design that employs all of the following:

• Optimize Site Potential: Creating sustainable buildings starts with proper site selection, including consideration of the reuse or rehabilitation of existing buildings. The location, orientation, and landscaping of a building affects the local ecosystem, transportation methods, and energy use.

• Minimize Energy Consumption: A building should rely on optimizing system efficiencies and employing conservation measures. Renewable energy technologies should be used in facility projects whenever feasible and cost effective.

AGENCY SPECIFIC REQIREMENTS – RLP Initials: _____________ & ______________

Page 4 of 12 Lessor Government

• Protect and Conserve Water: Fresh water in an increasingly scarce resource. A sustainable building should reduce, control or treat site runoff, use water efficiently, and implement as many

Federal Energy Management Program Water Efficiency Improvement Best Management Practices as practicable.

• Use Environmentally Preferable Products: Buildings should be constructed of materials that minimize lifecycle environmental impacts such as global warming, resource depletion, and toxicity.

• Enhance Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ): The IEQ of a building has a significant impact on occupant health, comfort, and productivity. Among other attributes, a building should optimize day lighting, be well ventilated, control moisture/humidity, and avoid the use of materials with high-VOC emissions.

• Optimize Operational and Maintenance Practices: Buildings should be designed to take into account the energy and environmental impacts of operating and maintaining the building. Designers are encouraged to specify materials and systems that reduced maintenance requirements, and/or require less water, energy and toxic chemicals to maintain.
