STATEMENT OF WORK

CONCEPT DESIGN

Project Title: Delta 8 Secure Renovation, B12006 (Dsn) Project Location: Vandenberg SFB, CA Base Project Number: XUMU242212 Date: 12 July 2024

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Architect-Engineer (A-E) shall conduct field investigation and prepare a complete and usable Conceptual Design / 35% Design with all relevant design contract documents for the Government. This Statement of Work (SOW) sets forth the requirements for a full and complete Design delivery method for this effort at Vandenberg SFB, CA. The A-E is to provide the government with an engineering design for the secure renovation of building 12006 in multiple rooms and the test and repair of the Fire Suppression system at Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB).

1.1 CURRENT SITUTATION

Building 12006 has been identified as suitable for the Consolidated Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Operations Center – West (CSOC – WEST) mission. Rooms 1106, 1108, 1109, 1110, 1113, 1114, 1115, 1116, 1118, 1201, 1202, 1202A, 1203, 1204, 1206, 1213, 1214, 1215, 1301, 1305, 1308, and 1311 will be included in the space allotted to the unit. These spaces within the secured facility will require renovation to meet mission needs. The Fire Suppression system to B12006 has a series of flow switches, emergency shut-offs, and shunt-trip circuits that shut off power to mission support assets. The last time the system has been properly tested was in 2010, which caused disruptions to the SATCOM mission.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The A-E shall perform the services described in this document.

2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

The A-E shall investigate, research and propose a solution to bring the below issues up to code compliance and to meet all base, state, federal, and user requirements and standards. This is not a description of construction, rather a statement of performance. The A-E shall develop a concept design that researches the current situation and provides a report with sufficient information to allow a renovation design meeting these performance requirements. The A-E shall provide a minimum of three (3) potential alternatives plus/ in addition to explain the consequences of “Status Quo”. Alternatives shall be provided before the 30% concept design and the final chosen alterative shall be developed into the 35% design.

Section 01 00 00 provides a project description and other conditions such as occupancy, work schedule, work stoppages, security, utilities, safety, construction and welding permits, and submittals. Section 01 57 20 specifies environmental compliance and monitoring and disposal of removed materials. Special requirements may be added. All changes from the base document must be documented until the 100% when a clean specification shall be provided. Any editing of VSFB Standard Specifications are not valid until expressly approved from the PM.

4.5.4.5 Elements from the VSFB Specifications may apply to this A-E contract. Refer to documents for details.

4.5.4.6 The A-E shall become familiar with the Vandenberg SFB standard specification sections to ensure that the remaining specification sections do not conflict with or duplicate these provisions.

4.5.4.7 The A-E shall include VSFB standard specification Section 01 44 00 Contractor Quality Control, or more stringent quality control section, as approved by the PM and the CO.

4.5.5 CAD Project File List and Computer Files

The A-E shall make final corrections from the 30% Design Review Conference and all comments provided by the PM and submit an updated CAD Project File List and Computer Files as outlined in section 2.8, Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD).

4.5.8 Resubmittals

The A-E may be required to resubmit the 30% Design Submittal if after review the Government determines the submitted design does not meet the requirements set forth in the contract for the 30% Design Submittal, if major scope items have not been addressed or if it contains sufficient errors that a 35% Design Submittal could not be achieved without major revisions, as determined by the Government. Any submittal that upon review by the Government has technical errors or omissions will be rejected and shall be required to be resubmitted. Each resubmittal shall be labeled as “30% RX” with X being the corresponding resubmittal number.

4.6 35% DESIGN SUBMITTAL

The A-E shall prepare the 35% Design Submittal by updating and completing the 30% Design Submittal. The 35% Design package shall be in a 35% concept design state with the exception of any additional Government corrections and modifications. This shall include everything from the approved 30% design with comments incorporated and/or corrected.

4.6.1 Resubmittals

The A-E may be required to resubmit the 35% Design Submittal if after review the Government determines the submitted design does not meet the requirements set forth in the contract for the 35% Design Submittal or if all changes from the 35% Design Review Conference or if all the comments provided by the PM were not completed. The 35% will not be accepted if there are any outstanding technical errors or omissions. Each resubmittal shall be labeled as “35% RX” with X being the corresponding resubmittal number.

4.7 DESIGN DEFICIENCES

Government approval of the 35% design submittal does not relieve the A-E from the responsibility to comply with all applicable codes and regulations. The A-E shall be responsible to correct design deficiencies and provide appropriate revised drawings and specifications to the Government within 5 calendar days of notification by the CO. These design deficiencies may be identified at any time between approval of the 35% design submittal and final inspection.

5.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

5.1 QUALIFIED PERSONAL

The A-E shall ensure that only qualified, competent personnel carry out the tasks outlined in this SOW. Competent is defined as registered professional or, where registration is not applicable, trained, and/or certified in their respective field. All tradesmen performing work in a trade which has a California A-E’s license available shall be licensed or under the direct supervision of a tradesman licensed in the trade being performed.

5.2 AIR FORCE PROPERTY

All materials gathered and/or developed in the performance of these tasks listed shall be returned to and become property of the Air Force; and shall not be used and/or distributed by the A-E without specific written permission of the PM.

5.3 ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS

All stamped drawings when applicable shall be reviewed and sealed by an architect or engineer that is registered in the appropriate discipline in the State of California.

5.4 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

The A-E shall ensure the project conforms to all applicable Federal, State and local laws, regulations and base-specific standards and applicable Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). Where there is a conflict between the referenced standards, the most stringent shall take precedence. All work accomplished by the A-E shall comply with these criteria unless a waiver is obtained from the Air Force when conditions warrant such consideration. The A-E is responsible for all research, interviews, and investigation required for the project.

6.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED ITEMS

The following is a list of specific items of support that the Base CE will provide None specific to the project.

6.1 STAGING AREA

The A-E, in coordination with the end user and Base CE, will identify space on the jobsite or in a base A-E staging area where the A-E may deliver nonhazardous materials within the installation. Approval of the staging area is required from Base Planning as part of the AF Form 103.

6.2 EXISTING ENGINEERING PLANS AND RECORD DRAWINGS

The Base CE will provide the A-E access to any existing, available and allowable engineering plans, drawings, diagrams, aerial photographs, digitized map files, etc., to facilitate evaluation of the site(s), as needed or requested. The primary method of access is for the A-E to be allowed into the 30CES Design Vault for research on available documents. Access to the 30CES Design Vault will be granted to the A-E after award. The A-E must accomplish a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for each person accessing the Vault; a previously filed NDA will not suffice. The A-E’s use of any existing plans, drawings, diagrams, etc. does not relieve the A-E from ensuring the design matches existing site conditions or complying with Vandenberg SFB CAD Standards.

6.3 BASE REQUIREMENTS

The Base CE will advise the A-E of the location and processes to obtain the following as needed

6.3.1.1 Access to utilities (electrical, water, sewer, phone, etc.) This includes a supply (e.g., fire hydrant or stand pipe) of large quantities of potable water.
