1) Overview: Sustainability Implementation

Federal facilities and operations are required to meet federal statutory requirements. Many of these requirements relate to high-performance sustainable buildings. The Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings and Associated Instructions December 2020 provide a means to meet and document the building statutory requirements as well as other sustainable building recommendations. Compliance with the Guiding Principles is required for design/construction projects over $3.8M in FY2025. Below $3.8M, compliance with Guiding Principles is encouraged. In all projects, compliance with federal statutory requirements is mandatory.

For this project, the Design/Construction team shall coordinate with BLM to ensure compliance with the Guiding Principles. Guiding Principle criteria for New Construction and Modernization (NC&M) projects are listed below with clarification of the roles of the Design/Construction team and BLM in implementing each specific criteria and, in many cases, specific direction is provided for compliance.
