STATEMENT OF WORK

CONCEPT DESIGN

Project Title: Install Mass Notification Systems (MNS) at AETC Campus Buildings Project Location: Vandenberg SFB, CA Base Project Number: XUMU 15-1068C

Date: 21 February 2024

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Architect-Engineer (A-E) shall conduct field investigation and prepare a complete and usable Concept 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 shall provide the Government with an engineering design for a Mass Notification System (MNS) at Air Education and Training Command (AETC) Campus Buildings 7425, 8173, 8175, 8195, 8250, 8290, 9190, 9192, 9334 and 9340.

1.1 CURRENT SITUATION

The group of buildings included in this project requires a means of distributing messages and notifications across the campus in emergency situations; the occupants [533 Training Squadron (TRS)] currently use a “runner” between buildings. The “runner” system has caused 533 TRS to fail safety inspections. This project involves the concept design for a Mass Notification System (MNS) in each of the listed buildings on the campus. The MNS shall connect Buildings 7425, 8173, 8175, 8195, 8250, 8290, 9190, 9192, 9334 and 9340, distributing messages, notifications, and instructions to personnel during emergency events.

There is existing communication ducting running to the individual facilities from the main communications line (see attached “Duct_Paths_Comm.pdf” map), but coordination with the Communications Squadron will need to be conducted to determine if there is space in the existing ducts to install the proper communications wiring for this project. Additionally, coordination with the Communications Squadron will be required to determine whether there is existing communications ducting running from Building 7425 to the main communications line.

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 design 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 an engineering solution to meet these performance requirements with sufficient information to perform a Cost Analysis, Environmental Analysis, and Design Specifications.

The A-E’s scope includes all research, investigation, and design to:

2.1.1 Design to install MNS speakers for all areas where students and faculty need to be reached in Buildings 7425, 8173, 8175, 8195, 8250, 8290, 9190, 9192, 9334 and 9340. The A-E shall develop a phased work approach that will allow the buildings to remain occupied during construction.

XUMU 15-1068C

Attachment 1

2.1.2 Design to install the wiring and conduit for each new speaker system in Buildings 7425, 8173, 8175, 8195, 8250, 8290, 9190, 9192, 9334 and 9340.

2.1.3 Design to install the communications wiring between Buildings 7425, 8173, 8175, 8195, 8250, 8290, 9190, 9192, 9334 and 9340.

2.1.4 Design to install a control system for the MNS in Buildings 7425, 8173, 8175, 8195, 8250, 8290, 9190, 9192, 9334 and 9340.

2.1.5 Investigate the condition of the existing wallboard in areas identified for MNS speaker installation in Buildings 7425, 8173, 8175, 8195, 8250, 8290, 9190, 9192, 9334 and 9340. The A-E shall identify and include within the Concept Design the areas within the aforementioned Buildings where wallboard replacement is required to meet the MNS speaker system installation requirements.

2.1.6 Design to include methodology for demolition and dump/haul away activities.

2.1.7 Exterior equipment shall be designed to include corrosion control to prevent rapid deterioration due to the proximity of the ocean to Vandenberg SFB.

2.1.8 Investigate and determine if there is sufficient space in the existing communications ducting within the identified buildings to install the required communications wiring for this project. If there is insufficient space in the existing communications ducting, the A-E shall design a new ducting system to accommodate the installation of the additional communications wiring.

2.1.9 Investigate and determine whether there is existing communications ducting running from Building 7425 to the main communications line. If it is determined that no existing communications ducting is running from Building 7425 to the main communications line, the A-E shall design new ducting between Building 7425 and the main communications line. See attached “DuctPaths_Comm.pdf” map for location of main communications line.

2.1.10 The A-E shall investigate and determine the electrical demand for the MNS in Buildings 7425, 8173, 8175, 8195, 8250, 8290, 9190, 9192, 9334 and 9340. The A-E shall determine the degree of upgrading and installation of electrical equipment required to meet requirements determined by the new

MNS.

2.1.11 The A-E shall develop and provide a Class III Cost Estimation in PACES software format and pdf. The cost estimate shall be developed for the phased work approach.

2.1.12 The A-E shall develop a 35% concept design that can be used to execute the phased work approach as a design-build (DB) repair effort, either as separate phases or as one complete repair effort award executed in phases by a single contractor.

2.1.13 The A-E shall provide a phased execution schedule that describes how work will be accomplished with minimal impact to occupants of the buildings.

4.6.1 Resubmittals

The A-E may be required to resubmit the 35% Design Submittal if after reviewing 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% Design 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 PERSONNEL

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.

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 non-hazardous 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’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.
