STOCC TOs initiated by the Government will be 1 of 4 Work types:

Type 1: Initiated via the SOO developed by the Government which may be accompanied by a sketch. This work will predominately be minor construction and repair work and require limited engineering support including: engineering drafting, construction submittal development and post construction as-built drawings. The Government expects the majority of the work to fall into this category.

Type 2: Initiated via 100% design and specifications package.

Type 3: Initiated via the SOO developed by the Government to be used by the Contractor to execute a design-build project. This work will require intermediate engineering support to develop a 40% design package prior to construction implementation. This work will also require engineering drafting, construction submittal development and post construction as-built drawings. NOTE: A 40% design is defined as: A 30% design and specification document developed by the STOCC Contractor, which has incorporated design review comments generated from a 30% design review meeting.

Type 4: Initiated via a SOO developed by the government to be used by the Contractor to execute a Design-Build project. The contractor will use the 30% design as a concept design. The contractor will then collaborate with the government and the contractor’s Architect-Engineering firm to develop a 50%/90%/Final design packages to meet the SOO requirements. This work will also require engineering drafting, construction submittal development and review, and post construction as-built drawings. The design and specifications will be incorporated into the contract via modification at the end of the design portion of the project.
