1 OVERVIEW

1.1 PROJECT INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

The Bureau of Land Management owns the existing Vale District Office building located at 100 Oregon Street, Vale, OR 97918.

The Vale District compound is a 16-acre, BLM owned facility that serves as the primary administrative site for the Vale District and includes the following key assets:

• District Office Building

• ESI Mobile

• SRV Fire Office

• Shop

• Warehouse

• Gas House

• Radio Repair Building

• Fire Dispatch Building

• Hazmat Storage

• Fire Engine Shed

• Employee and Visitor Parking

This project seeks to renovate and add on to the existing District Office Building (L1440784) and remove the ESI Mobile (L1440968) modular facility. Constructed in 1982, the office building is a single level, 16,320 square foot building that provides space for district, field, and a few state office employees totaling up to 80 during peak staffing periods. The structure includes office space, conference rooms, a break room, restrooms, a visitor information area, and other ancillary spaces. Moved to the site in 2002, the ESI Mobile is a 1,400 square foot modular unit that is currently not fully utilized.

Primary objectives for the office building are to improve conditions for employees and visitors by eliminating deferred maintenance, making critical repairs, improving appearance and function, eliminating accessibility barriers, replacing outdated and failing building systems, increasing energy efficiency, and allowing for a more functional public entrance. The ESI mobile will be removed from the site.

2.2.4 Schedule Development:

The project schedule shall cover the entire contract period. The late finish date of the project schedule shall be the same date as the established completion date of the contract.

The DBC shall use the Critical Path Method (CPM) with limited use of lead or lag durations between scheduled activities. The DBC’s project schedule shall consist of procurement activities (including mobilization, submittal issue and approvals, and the fabrication and delivery of key and long-lead procurement items) and construction activities.

The DBC’s project schedule shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following for each activity:

• Identify each and every activity number with numerical designations (maximum 5-digit).

Number of activities shall be in increments of 10.

• Concise description of the work represented by the activity (maximum 48 characters).

Avoid the use of non-standard abbreviations. The work related to each activity shall be limited to one work trade.

• Activity duration in whole working days with a maximum duration of 15 workdays each, unless otherwise approved by the Government; exceptions may be made for non-construction activities including mobilization, shop drawing and sample submittals, fabrication of materials, delivery of materials and equipment, and concrete curing.

In developing the project schedule, the DBC shall be responsible for ensuring that subcontractor work at all tiers, as well as its own work, is included in the project schedule.

The project schedule, as developed shall show the sequence and interdependence of activities required for complete performance of the work. The DBC shall be responsible for ensuring all work sequences are logical and the project schedule shows a coordinated work plan, with critical path dependencies clearly delineated. Proposed durations assigned to each activity shall be the DBC’s best estimate of time required to complete the activity considering the scope and resources planned for the activity. Resource loading of each activity shall list all personnel by labor category and equipment type and capacity proposed to complete the activity in the duration shown. Include any permit requirements and constraints. Seasonal weather conditions shall be considered and included in the planning and scheduling of all work influenced by high or low ambient temperatures, wind and/or precipitation, etc. to ensure completion of all work within the contract time.

2.2.5 Project Schedule Updates

2.2.5.1 Monthly Updates:

The monthly updating of the project schedule shall be an integral part and basic element of the estimate upon which progress payments shall be made under this contract. If, in the judgement of the Government, the DBC fails or refuses to provide a schedule of values and a complete schedule update or revision as specified hereinafter, the DBC shall be deemed to have not provided the required information upon which the progress payment may be made and shall be subject to retainage of a portion of the payment.

Design-Build Statement of Work

29 May 2026

2.2.5.2 Progress Report:

The report shall include a brief description of the actual progress made during the update period; actual and potential delaying activities; any impediments to progress; issues related to inclement weather; progress toward established milestones and project float. The report shall include a brief description of the work anticipated to be performed in the next month.

Any minor revisions to the schedule should be identified so they can be evaluated and accepted or rejected.

As the project progresses, indicate Actual Completion percentage for each activity. If the schedule update shows a late finish date after the contract completion date, at a minimum, include the following in the progress report submission:

• Any known delays.

• Actions that will be taken to get back on schedule.

• Pending modifications.

• Impediments or constraints affecting progress.

2.2.6 Progress Payments:

The monthly updating of the currently accepted construction schedule shall be an integral part of the process upon which progress payments will be made under this contract. If the Contractor fails to provide schedule updates or revisions, then a portion of the monthly payment may be retained until such corrections have been made.

Time Impact Analysis for Contract Modifications, Changes, Delays, and Contractor Requests Requirements:

When contract modifications or changes are initiated, delays are experienced, or the DBC desires to revise the project schedule, the DBC shall submit to the Government a written time impact analysis illustrating the influence of each modification, change, delay, or DBC request on the contract time.

Time Extensions:

Activity delays shall not automatically mean that an extension of the contract time is warranted or due the DBC. It is possible that a modification, change, or delay will not affect existing critical activities or cause non-critical activities to become critical. A modification, change, or delay may result in only absorbing a part of the available total float that may exist within an activity chain of the project schedule, thereby not causing any effect on the contract time. Time extensions will be granted in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the DBC.

Extension of the contract time will be granted only to the extent the equitable time adjustments to the activity or activities affected by the modification, change, or delay exceeds the total (positive or zero) float available on a particular activity.

2.3 FORMS

The Government will require the DBC to submit the following forms at appropriate intervals and milestones established prior to commencement of project construction:

• Submittal / Transmittal.

• Accident / Property Damage Reports.

• Quality Control Reports.

Design-Build Statement of Work

29 May 2026

• Testing Reports.

• Inspection Reports.

• Update / Status Reports.

The actual forms used will be designed by the DBC with input from the Government and approved by the Government. As part of this SOW, the Government has provided sample forms that the Government has utilized in the past.

3 DESIGN PARAMETERS

3.1 GENERAL

The design will be based on the Concept Design Drawings, Performance Specifications and Salient Features Document (BLM Concept Package) developed by the BLM and included with the project solicitation. The DBC will be responsible for developing an integrated design solution, construction documents, and final construction.

The project design will require review and coordination with the Government. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to utility development, security fencing, vehicle / equipment storage, and parking for personal and Government vehicles.

The DBC remains fully responsible for determining if the standards or provisions cited in the Performance Specifications have been revised or updated. Any such conflicts between the Performance Specifications and the identified standard or provisions shall be brought to the attention of the Government requesting direction.

All Architect-Engineer (A/E) Services shall be performed by licensed Architects and Engineers registered in the State of Oregon.

3.2 COMPLIANCE & AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION (AHJ)

The project design shall comply with all applicable codes, regulations, and standards to ensure adherence to safety, structural integrity, and environmental requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, compliance with all standards identified in the “BLM Building Codes and Standards” document. It is the responsibility of the contractor and associated personnel to ensure that all aspects of design meet these requirements throughout all phases of the project to guarantee public safety and the long-term functionality of the facilities.

The BLM will serve as the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) on this project; therefore, a building permit will not be required. While the BLM will serve as the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), some of these services may still require coordination with state and local agencies (e.g. utility service approvals). The DBC shall prepare the necessary submittal documentation for clearances and approvals when needed.

3.3 SITE DESIGN

The site design will only address areas disturbed by construction. The DBC shall evaluate the feasibility of wasting excavated material onsite vs. offsite disposal.

Existing utilities are located on site, and include primary electric power, water, natural gas, sanitary sewer, and communications. The DBC shall evaluate and verify the location, size, and functional capacity of the

Design-Build Statement of Work

29 May 2026 nearby utilities and incorporate needed improvements in the design to facilitate utility services to the new facilities. This verification shall include determining site domestic water and site fire flow availability, static pressure, and residual pressure at the point of connection by conducting flow tests in accordance with

NFPA 291-19.

The DBC will initiate contact with the relevant power, water, gas, and communication companies and will coordinate with them to have service extended and/or upgraded to the new facility as required for the design. The construction documents shall indicate individual advance metering for all applicable utilities.

The DBC shall investigate the site and perform on-site Geotechnical Engineering Analyses, Radon Testing, and a Topographic Site Surveys as required. Stamped and signed Geotechnical report with foundation recommendations and Survey information shall be provided to the Government.

The DBC shall evaluate the site, consult with the Government, and review the BLM Concept Package provided by the Government. After proposed changes are approved by the Government at the conclusion of Schematic Design, the DBC shall proceed with design development and subsequently prepare construction documents.

Anticipated services include Site and Utility Analysis (including Geotechnical Investigation and Topographic Survey), Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documents with each submittal, at the appropriate class level.

3.4 BUILDING DESIGN

The building design is to be based on the programming, drawings/diagrams, specifications and salient features list provided in the BLM Concept Package. The DBC shall consider alternate materials, spatial efficiencies, design considerations and any other items that may improve the project from a cost, aesthetic, or functionality perspective.

3.5 MECHANICAL DESIGN

An Energy Life Cycle Cost Analysis (ELCCA) is required for HVAC system selection. The ELCCA shall evaluate three system options, as follows:

1. Fuel-sourced system (e.g., natural gas, propane).

2. A second fuel-sourced or electrical system.

3. ASHRAE 90.1-2019 baseline system (as defined by Appendix G).

All options must:

• Comply with applicable Federal energy requirements, including those set by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP).

• Meet or exceed the current International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).

• Consider the integration of energy recovery (ERVs, etc.).

The ELCCA must incorporate:

• Local utility rates (electric and fuel).

• Site-specific infrastructure availability and constraints (e.g., gas service, electric capacity).

• Coordination with the architectural and electrical design teams, reflecting:

ο Proposed building envelope performance.

Design-Build Statement of Work

29 May 2026 ο Interior and exterior lighting loads and power densities.

The analysis shall be based on a 25-year life cycle, including:

• Initial capital cost.

• Replacement and maintenance costs.

• Energy use and cost projections.

Option 5 of New Construction & Modernization Criteria 2.1 “Energy Efficiency” within the “Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings” (December 2020) requires the building’s energy performance to be 30% better than ASHRAE 90.1-2019 or a combination of systems that are the most life cycle cost effective. If the project is low-rise residential the building’s energy performance must be 30% better than 2021 IECC or a combination of systems that are the most life cycle cost effective.

• Other furniture: Government https://www.energy.gov/femp/building-life-cycle-cost-programs

Design-Build Statement of Work

29 May 2026

• All built-in furniture fixtures (counters, shelving, cabinets, etc.): DBC

The modular workstation sources, background, and responsibilities are as follows:

3.8.1 Government Furnished Workstations (used) – Troutdale, OR In 2026, the BLM partially vacated their office in Portland, OR. This resulted in 45 workstations being disassembled and moved to a federal storage facility located at 483 NW Perimeter Way, Troutdale, OR 97060. Workstations were originally supplied in approximately 2013 by Steelcase Inc. from their “Answer Line” of products. Prior to disassembly, most of the workstations were in an 8’ x 8’ configuration with a few in an 8’ x 5’ configuration. See photo attachment for typical workstations prior to disassembly. Due to the inefficiencies of reconfiguring and reassembling the workstations to match the design layout, orientation, and size, presume a net of 40 workstations available from this source.

The DBC is responsible to fully incorporate the stored Troutdale workstations into the project including:

1. During PD/SD, arrange with the BLM to visit the storage facility. Evaluate and catalog workstation components in adequate detail to allow design.

2. During Schematic Design, coordinate open space layouts with available workstation components and incorporate into design.

3. During construction, transport and install workstations including wall panels, work surfaces, overhead storage, under desk storage, desks, dividing panels, and desk chairs (as available). While the DBC is not required to purchase supplemental major components, there may be need to provide additional fasteners, hardware, and electrical components to complete the installation. Connect data, electrical, and other incidental items resulting in a complete workstation.

3.8.2 Government Furnished Workstations (used) – Vale, OR

In 2025, the BLM vacated their office building in Baker City, OR. This resulted in 24 workstations being disassembled and moved to a storage building within the Vale BLM compound. Workstations were originally supplied in approximately 2014 by Unicor from their “Classic XXI” product line. Prior to disassembly, the workstations varied in size from 10’ x 8’ to 10’ x 10’. See photo attachment for typical workstation prior to disassembly. Due to the inefficiencies of reconfiguring and reassembling the cubicles to match the design layout, orientation, and size, presume a net of 15 workstations available from this source.

The DBC is responsible to fully incorporate the stored Vale workstations into the project including:

1. During PD/SD, arrange with the BLM to visit the storage facility. Evaluate and catalog workstation components in adequate detail to allow design.

2. During Schematic Design, coordinate open space layouts with available workstation components and incorporate into design. Due to the size these workstations were previously configured, the design effort will need to incorporate workstation modifications to bring into reasonably close conformance with design criteria (64 SF maximum).

3. During construction, transport and install cubicles including wall panels, work surfaces, overhead storage, under desk storage, desks, dividing panels, and desk chairs (as available). Modify components such as desk surfaces, raceways, supporting frames, etc.

to result in desired configuration that reasonably conforms with area limitation. Although physical cutting of some components will be required, the cutting of vertical wall panel

Design-Build Statement of Work

29 May 2026 skins is not recommended as reconfiguration should utilize existing panel sizes to the extent possible. While the DBC is not required to purchase supplemental major components, there may be need to provide additional fasteners, hardware, and electrical components to complete the installation. Connect data, electrical, and other incidental items resulting in a complete workstation.

3.8.3 Government Furnished Workstations (new) – Separate Contract The remaining 22 modular workstations required for the project will be purchased by the Government. Final design, specifications, construction documentation, and procurement of the remaining workstations will be conducted by the Government under a separate contract. The DBC shall coordinate with the supplier and incorporate anticipated furniture systems into the design.

During construction, the DBC shall accommodate installation by the installer, make necessary electrical /data connections, and perform other ancillary work required to support installation.

Due to the incorporation of three separate systems furniture types into this project, there will be obvious mismatches of color, finish, and style. To the extent possible, the DBC is encouraged to group like cubicles together within building areas to limit the “patchwork” appearance.

3.9 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN & ENERGY CONSERVATION

The project shall incorporate sustainable design elements to the maximum extent feasible. Compliance with the sustainable requirements outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations are required as follows:

3.9.1 New Federal Commercial and Multi-Family High-Rise Residential Buildings Comply with 10 CFR Part 433 which requires modeling in accordance with ASHRAE 90.1-2019.

Provide documentation of the following compliance:

1. All mandatory requirements by using DOE’s COMcheck online software to produce a report showing compliance. Compliance with energy code mandatory requirements is part of ASHRAE 90.1-2019 Appendix G compliance’s path per paragraph G1.2.1.a.

2. Show proposed building consumes 30% less energy than a baseline building when comparatively modeled using the Performance Rating Method found in Appendix G.

Energy consumption shall include the building envelope and energy consuming systems such as space heating, space cooling, ventilation, service water heating, lighting, and all process and receptacle loads.

3. The formula for determining the percentage improvement shall be as follows Percentage Improvement = 100 x (1-PCI/PCIt), where:

PCI = Performance Cost Index calculated in accordance with Section G1.2 of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019 PCIt = Performance Cost Index Target calculated by formula in Section 4.2.1.1 of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019.

4. If 30% reduction is not life cycle cost effective, modify the proposed building design to achieve an energy consumption level at or better than the maximum level of energy that is life-cycle cost-effective.
