The Contractor is responsible for field verification of existing conditions, potholing utilities, civil and structural design of the equipment yard with concrete slab, asbestos and lead-based paint sampling prior to demolition, and full HVAC load analysis and design calculations.

The overall project must be completed within 500 days of contract award. The design phase includes 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% design submittals, each allowing 21 calendar days for Government review and Contractor response, with 45 days allocated for each of the first three design stages and 21 days for the final 100% design. The construction phase allows 217 days for demolition and construction, followed by 7 days for pre-final inspection and punch-list and 1 day for final inspection and acceptance. The Contractor must provide CADD drawings in AutoCAD format, specifications using Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) format, and detailed Design Analysis Reports at each submittal stage. All design documents must be sealed, signed, and dated by licensed professional engineers and architects. The Contractor must coordinate with facility users to minimize interference with normal KAFB activities, obtain all required permits (including Dig Permit, Welding/Burn Permit, and KAFB Landfill Permit), provide weekly progress schedules with Critical Path Method detail, and furnish a one-year warranty on workmanship and equipment upon Beneficial Occupancy Date.

1. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION

1.1. Design/Build (D/B) Purpose and Objective

1.1.1. This Statement of Work (SOW) identifies the design and construction services required to complete the Replace HVAC West Fitness Center B585, located on Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB). The primary purpose and objective of this project is to design, provide and install new, complete Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems for Building 585 (B585). The current systems have exceeded their useful service life. Replacing the HVAC will also require upgrading the outdated electrical service to support the power demands of the new HVAC equipment. The drawings and specifications produced shall describe the facility to be constructed in accordance with the requirements referenced herein.

This is a D/B SOW. Many specialty disciplines are required to successfully complete this D/B project. The general contractor and their sub-contractors, including necessary licensed design professionals, constitute the D/B Team. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to provide the necessary staff and skills to successfully complete this turnkey project as further described in this SOW.

1.1.2. The design shall include, but is not limited to, the following: Provide the services of all the licensed design professionals in the disciplines required to produce the design analysis, estimate, schedule, drawings, and specifications which shall describe the facility in strict accordance with the requirements outlined in this SOW. The build includes, but is not limited to, the following: conducting field verifications, providing all labor, tools, equipment, permits, and licenses required to construct the project in strict accordance with the requirements outlined in this

SOW.

1.2. Existing Building and Site Conditions

1.2.1. The existing facility was constructed in 1968. Original construction included a gymnasium, racquetball (handball) courts, weight-lifting area, lockers, equipment storage and offices. Various modifications to the facility have occurred since its original construction including installation of handball observation platform, fire alarm system replacement, upgrade to electrical and lighting, and multiple gym floor refinish/replacement projects. The building is Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) construction on concrete footings with slab on grade in administrative/ locker room areas and depressed floor in the gymnasium to allow for wood floor installation. The roof structure consists of steel joists with a built-up roof on steel decking with varied pitch of 1/8” per foot at gymnasium/racquet ball courts and 3/8” per foot at its center section. In the facility’s current interior configuration, the racquetball courts have been repurposed into weight rooms, the doors have been removed, and a passageway between the two courts has been constructed.

The facility has roof-mounted evaporative cooling system and natural gas heating.
