SCOPE OF WORK

A1 Title-I Services

FEMS and MPD TRAINING FACILITY

BLUE PLAINS, SW, WASHINGTON, DC

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES

PROJECT: FEMS and MPD TRAINING FACILITY

A1 TITLE-I SERVICES

1. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED:

The selected architect/engineer (“Architect/Engineer” or “A/E”) shall provide services for two design packages with different levels of effort as described in the sections below. The A/E shall submit a cost estimate during these two design packages before the development and completion of the construction documents. Upon completion of each package, the A/E shall submit a final detailed construction cost estimate to accomplish the work. The A/E will be responsible for reviewing all existing documentation, interviewing key personnel, and conducting site visits and assessments as required to prepare the final documents.

2. COORDINATION TO BE PERFORMED:

The Architect/Engineer shall meet with all the appropriate regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to the Historic Preservation Office (“HPO”), the Department of Buildings

(“DOB”), the District Department of Transportation (“DDOT”), the Department of Energy and

Environment (“DOEE”), the National Planning Commission (“NCPC”), the Commission of

Fine Arts (“CFA”), DC Water, Pepco, and Washington Gas, to ascertain zoning analysis, deed restrictions and requirements, traffic study, and potential environmental considerations for compliance. Upon complying with the aforementioned requirements and satisfactorily addressing all comments in the reviews, the Architect-Engineer shall submit the final permitted documents to the Department of General Services (the “Department” or “DGS”).

SCOPE OF WORK: The Department, on behalf of the Fire and Emergency Medical Services

(“FEMS”) and Metropolitan Police Department (“MPD”), desires to construct a new, properly sized world-class Police and Fire Training Academy in the District. The selected A/E shall provide design services and a roadmap with options for revitalizing the project site to created a combined facility that supports the future growth and missions of FEMS and MPD, located at Blue Plains – DC Village Lane in Southwest DC (the “Project”).

The Project shall be performed in two design packages. The A/E will assist DGS in developing

Design Package A of the Project, including validating the program of requirements and schematic design for all buildings and parking garages in the Project for the new Police and

Fire Training Academy. Design Package B will include Design Development, Construction

Documents and Project Specifications, Bid Phase, and Construction Administration for

Building “S1”, Building “S2” and Parking Garage “P” by developing the Construction

Documents and associated project specifications, full Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment

(“FF&E”), FF&E Layout Drawings and Schedule, and cost estimates of the Project.

ARCHITECT/ENGINEER TEAM

The Architect/Engineer shall provide resumes for this Project’s personnel with relevant licenses, certifications, qualifications, and past experience for the following Key Personnel and

Additional Consultants:

KEY PERSONNEL:

• Principal Architect

• Project Manager

• Project Architect

• Mechanical Engineer

• Electrical Engineer

• Structural Engineer

• Civil Engineer

LEED Consultant

• Commissioning Agent

• IT, AV, and Security Design (Registered Communications Distribution Designers) RCDD Interior

Designer

• Landscape Architect

• Permit Expediter

The Project is located on a steeply sloping, heavily wooded site between two roads that provide access to the Blue Plains campus. One parcel (Site C) is located across the road on a very steep, wooded parcel at some distance from the main campus. The topography currently separates the two academies, and MPD is situated on the higher elevation side. Most of the existing buildings (except 3 MPD buildings) are outdated and require replacement. Surface parking is grossly undersized, but utilities are available on both roads. Each agency has one separate entrance with no road connection between the two. The A/E team shall confirm if the site has no significant limiting factors in zoning or easements except for a bald eagle nesting ground

(with an unconfirmed location).

As described in Attachment 1, stormwater management is minimal and will require significant areas. The A/E shall take a strategically phased approach to the coordinated construction of the

Project to prevent any disruption or hindrance to FEMS and MPD daily operations.

A detailed and site-specific description of the General Requirements and Site Feasibility

Report is included as Attachment 1.
