A comprehensive design package suitable for construction bidding purposes for the project. Each element of the design must be addressed in such a manner as to meet the needs of the proposed work and simultaneously function from an engineering standpoint with the existing buildings and systems as described herein. The A/E must design any removals and site work necessary to enable the proposed work to be fully incorporated into the existing site. The package must include the following documents for each applicable discipline:

(1) Drawings

(2) Specifications

(3) Construction Cost Estimate

(4) Design Analyses (Basis of Design and Calculations) Individual task orders may provide more detailed requirements with respect to these services.

C.2.1.1 FORMAT

C.2.1.1.1 DRAWINGS

The A/E must prepare drawings in accordance with the latest edition of FAA STD 002. A/E prepared drawings must be on "D" size (36 x 24, 34 x 22 borders) paper. Sheets are to be furnished by the A/E. Line width and lettering must be of quality and size to produce clear and legible drawing reductions. Scale of drawings and details must be such to produce clear and readily understandable information. Graphic scales and true north arrow must be used on all drawings. Refer also to the paragraph titled, "Electronic Deliverables".

C.2.1.1.2 SPECIFICATIONS

a. General: Except when otherwise specified, the A/E must prepare specifications in CSI Master Format 2020 using the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications available from the Whole Building Design Guide (www.wbdg.org) website. Preference must be given to the use of Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) specifications. All guide specifications must be properly edited to reflect the specific requirements of the project. All references to construction, FAA, and industry standards must refer to current editions of the documents. Final specifications must be submitted in camera-ready copy and electronically. Filled-in or broken letters, illegible text, or similar imperfections are not acceptable. The specifications submitted to the WJHTC must be in full size print. A sample format for preparing the specifications cover page, table of contents and typical specification section page layout will be provided to the A/E for use in preparing the specifications.

b. Use of Brand Names: The specifications must be generic and the use of brand names should be avoided. If brand names must be used, the salient characteristics of the item must be described and a minimum of three (3) brand names must be cited, followed by the words "or approved equal". If the A/E selects an item to be used in the specification which does not have an approved equal, a separate letter must be prepared and signed by the A/E, to the Contracting officer, for each such proprietary item. The letter must list the item name, location(s) in the specification, intended purpose, and reason why the item must be from a sole source. An example would be the use of Best locksets as required by FAA Order 1600.69D.

C.2.1.1.3 COST ESTIMATE

The A/E must prepare a detailed construction cost estimate for the project. The estimate must be organized according to the CSI Master format 2012 with subtotals for each Division and a summary page showing the subtotals and other mark-ups. Individual line-item costs must include item quantities, unit of measure, and material, labor and equipment costs. Lump sum costs for other than minor items will not be accepted. All probable subcontract work must be identified, if known.

The A/E must design each project to provide a complete and usable facility within a given target construction cost provided by the Government. If it becomes evident to the A/E at any point during the Design Services that the construction cost will exceed the target construction cost, the A/E must immediately notify the FAA CO and Project Manager and all work must cease and be held in abeyance until funding differences, scopes, and/or criteria are resolved and such changes as may be required are executed.

Design costs are to be fixed at award of the task order. If the estimated cost of the construction project based on the A/E design exceeds the FAA's initial estimate, the Contractor is not permitted to submit a claim for additional design costs, unless the FAA provides a request to change the scope of the construction project, which results in the higher construction cost.

The A/E is responsible for the technical competency, accuracy, and completeness of the construction documents. The FAA reserves the right to hold the A/E liable for any additional construction costs resulting from A/E errors and omissions.

C.2.1.1.4 DESIGN ANALYSES

No exceptions will be permitted, and if the drawings do not conform to these requirements, the A/E will revise drawings at no cost to the government. The electronic filename must be in the form "xyyy.dwg", where x = the engineering discipline code, and yyy = the group designation, for example "a101.dwg", for an architectural floor plan. Drawings to be submitted in DWG and PDF format. The PDF set is to be submitted as single sheets labeled with the project and sheet number as well as a combined PDF set of the project. The Government reserves the right to revise drawing submittal specifications at the Task Order level.

All drawings created with Xrefs (External Reference – is an AUTOCAD drawing that exists as a link within another drawing) must be bound to each drawing that references that external drawing. The final bound drawings must be a standalone drawing with all parts of the drawing accessible as if it were drawn in that drawing. All electronic drawings that are not bound will be returned to the Contractor firm to bind. For PDF files do not include AutoCad SHX text comments. Payment will not be made until this is done.
