BACKGROUND

The NOAA Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory (MLO) is the flagship facility of the four long-term observatories operated by the NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML). The other observatories are located in Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska; Tula, American Samoa; and South Pole, Antarctica. The MLO site is often regarded as the “premier atmospheric science site on earth” and is home to numerous high-profile data sets including the “Keeling Curve” that first documented the rise in carbon dioxide in our global atmosphere. The observatory conducts well over 250 daily climatological measurements, some as precise as 1 part in a trillion.

The MLO facility is located at the end of an 18-mile one-lane access road reachable from Saddle Road. The start of the Mauna Loa Access Road is located just to the east of the more well-known access to the Mauna Kea Visitor Center and telescopes. Logistically, the site is at over 11,141 feet in altitude and the sun (UV) conditions can be strong and the air temp significantly cooler than elsewhere on the island. The 18-mile driveway can be challenging for longer vehicles due to the narrow width, rolling topography, and occasional sharp corners. The power lines do cross over the road in multiple locations along the upper half of the MLO access road and may pose an overhead obstruction issue for very tall vehicles (no known issues with the powerlines obstructing access to the site historically). The one-way commute time to the MLO site from either Hilo or Kona typically takes ~90-min.

Scientific measurements obtained at MLO often represent the global background conditions for the atmospheric research community. As such, the measurements taken at the site are highly precise and need to be safeguarded to ensure that indoor room air and/or local site contamination does note negatively impact the long-term records. NOAA has

STATEMENT OF WORK / PROJECT PROGRAM - Page 4 developed a comprehensive banned construction materials (chemicals) list and each product used at the site must be cleared against this banned chemical list prior to use. The banned construction materials list will be provided to vendors and NOAA can assist with reviewing individual products as needed. Furthermore, it will be required to keep the science at MLO operational as much as possible throughout construction activities. All new construction work shall meet current code requirements.

The Federal government is required to follow the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) process for all Federal actions. NEPA does apply to this construction effort and NOAA is actively working to get the necessary approvals from the State of Hawaii (Division of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) / State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)) and finalize the NEPA process. The NEPA process is running in parallel with this procurement effort and it is anticipated that the NEPA will be finalized after this procurement has been awarded. As such, it is imperative that any/all outcomes resulting from the NEPA process shall be incorporated into the final design before a notice to proceed can be issued and construction begins.

NOAA is interested in building sustainably, using robust materials that support low maintenance over the long-term, and incorporating the elements of LEED building practices (and certification) wherever possible. Thus, the biddable documents shall include the opportunity for bidders to provide alternate approach and products based on reliability and longevity and include value enhancing options to allow for LEED elements.

2.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES

To provide a state of the art, energy efficient and sustainable facility that is safe and functional for current and future users at the MLO site.

The research at this facility includes collection and monitoring of air samples so the work must avoid the use of the banned construction materials listed in Part 6 - Attachments.

2.1 APPLICABLE CODES AND STANDARDS

In addition to the codes and standards listed in Part 4 - Generic Specifications, the design and construction must be in accordance with the latest revision/edition of the following referenced codes and standards. The term "Latest Revision/Edition" is defined as the version as of the project award date.

1. GML list of banned construction material. See Part 6 - Attachments

2. NOAA Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) Facility IT Standards Guide 2007 V. 1.0 Rev 2. See Part 6 - Attachments

3. State of and county of Hawaii building codes.

4. NOAA Anti-terrorism requirements. See checklist in Part 6 - Attachments

STATEMENT OF WORK / PROJECT PROGRAM - Page 5

Department of Defense (DOD) UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC) or UNIFIED FACILITY GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS (UFGS) referenced in this RFP will apply as if this were a DOD facility.

2.2 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Design and construct project per sustainability requirements identified in UFC 1-200-02:

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS.

Additional specific sustainability requirements are found in this document.

Comply with Federal Energy Management Program’s Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings. (https://www4.eere.energy.gov/femp/requirements/guidelines_filtering)

OPTION: Provide LEED certification

2.3 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT - LOW IMPACT

DEVELOPMENT (LID)

Comply with State and Local stormwater management program permit requirements. The designer of record must balance all applicable requirements (Federal, State, Local and the above stated policies), and acquire required regulatory permits when managing stormwater generated on this project.

3.0 SITE ANALYSIS

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation is being prepared under a separate contract. The final outcome of that document will be incorporated into the design of the facility.

3.1 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS

The vendor shall minimize impacts to ongoing operations at the rest of the MLO site.

The MLO site operates on an 8-acre land parcel and consists of multiple research buildings. The Keeling Building is the original structure at the site and is a sixty-five year old (built in 1956), single story, rectangular, cinder block structure ~1,250 sq.ft. with an A-frame wood truss roof system that is clad with a vented corrugated metal roof. Due to the age of the Keeling building and significance of the science that it represents, NOAA has determined that the original cinder block constructed building is likely eligible for the national historical register. However, it has not been listed as such.

STATEMENT OF WORK / PROJECT PROGRAM - Page 6

Adjacent to the Keeling building, are the Hawaiian Telcom block building and the Army’s fiberglass communications building (both structures to remain in place). Additional facilities on site include the National Detection for Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) facility and multiple smaller astronomy domes and metal-clad buildings.

A preliminary floor plan design was completed in 2021 and updated in 2022. The design and associated documents are included in Part 6 - Attachments.

NOTE: PREVIOUS DESIGN DOCUMENTS ARE INCLUDED FOR REFERENCE

ONLY AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT THE FINAL CONFIGURATION

OF THE FACILITY. THE CONTRACTOR’S DESIGNER OF RECORD IS

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINAL DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT.

Any Government provided design or geotechnical data is included for the Contractor’s information only, and while it is considered to represent subsurface conditions existing on the project site anticipated at this time, it is not guaranteed to fully represent all subsurface conditions. The Contractor will be responsible for providing the services of a geotechnical engineer to conduct any subsurface exploration, investigation, testing, and analysis that the Designer of Record deems necessary for the design and construction of the proposed facility and site improvements. The geotechnical engineer must be registered as a Professional Engineer (Geotechnical Engineer where required by law) and experienced with soil conditions in the region where the project site is located. The geotechnical engineer must prepare a report addressing any elements of the work requiring his services.

The report must be submitted to the Contracting Officer accompanied by a letter from the Designer of Record certifying that the Geotechnical Engineer has reviewed the construction documents and that the design reflects the recommendations of the geotechnical report.

3.2 SITE DEVELOPMENT

The building footprint indicated on draft design documents is conceptual but the orientation and relationship to the existing structures has been vetted with the customer and is to be maintained to the greatest extent possible.

Building finished floor height shall be no higher than 8” above the existing grade.

Pedestrian Access and Circulation Requirements

An exterior concrete apron around all four sides of the facility is required. The walkway should be nominally 4’ wide on the south and west side, 8’ wide on the north side, and 20’ wide on the east. The concrete apron on each side should have the appropriate slope to drain rainwater AWAY from the building, but also be usable as a walkway and scientific staging area.

The walkway should include a ramp from the finished height to grade on the east side to facilitate walking to the front door. In addition, a ramp structurally capable of supporting

STATEMENT OF WORK / PROJECT PROGRAM - Page 7 a vehicle carrying supplies is required to support vehicles backing into the loading bay on the east side.

Redesign walkway and stairs from west end of the new facility to provide access to the Hawaiian Telcom building and to the parking lot at the east side of the Keeling Building.

Existing wooden walkways and stairs should be removed and disposed of. All new walkways should match existing galvanized walking surfaces on site and stairs should be either concrete or galvanized. Walkway height shall be coordinated with the slab height and matched to the greatest extent possible.

A concrete retaining wall may be necessary on the south side of the building as the building site’s grade is a multiple feet below the adjacent parking lot. Currently, the hillside between the parking lot grade and that of the existing buildings is a loose lava rock of various sizes.

Roof Platform Requirements A roof platform (nominally 1,400 sf) and railings with exterior stair access is required.

The roof deck can be added to either end of the building that best accommodates overall building design. Roof platform will support sensitive solar radiation equipment and should have zero vibration when staff walk on the deck surface.

Include power to the roof platform including a minimum of quad outlets located every six feet around the perimeter and additionally two rows (North-South) of quad outlets located every six feet for instrument tables splitting the deck into thirds. No more than three quad outlets on any circuit. Power circuits should be all weather and meet all code requirements.

Roof instrument tables should be provided using 80/20 T-slot aluminum uni-strut. Table tops should be ~2” below railing height, 30-36” wide, and secured to the platform decking to not move. The table tops can be the same aluminum metal bar grating used for the deck surface, or similar material.

PVC conduits (4” diameter) shall be installed every ~10-12’ to route instrument signal cables from the roof deck down into the laboratory spaces below. On the exterior, all exterior PVC tubes should also be capped with rubber covers and the conduits should each have two 90-degree radius bends so the tube is facing down to keep water from entering the system. Exterior conduits inlet should be ~ half the distance from the deck surface to the table top. On the interior, these conduits should drop into the laboratory spaces and terminate ~4” above the interior cable trays.

Railing shall have a gate that opens outward on the south side to allow for materials to be loaded from the parking lot. Gate should be a minimum of 6’ wide and be securely closed when not in use.

Roof platform structure, stairs and railings shall be non corrosive metal. Decking to be aluminum metal bar grating sized for anticipated loads.

Site utilities

STATEMENT OF WORK / PROJECT PROGRAM - Page 8

Electricity is available on site. There is no water or sewer service at the site. A gutter rain-water catchment system is required and should be incorporated into the design for use in the sinks and toilet. Note the water catchment system will NOT be used for drinking water and no external cistern is available and existing for this new building. The facility's wastewater will need to be incorporated into the existing septic system, if possible, or an additional septic system will need to be incorporated into the design.
