A. OFFICE REQUIREMENTS

The following is an overview of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearm and Explosives’ (TENANT’s) Office requirements. Offices at TENANT can be classified under the following:

Headquarter Offices, Division Offices, Field Offices, Satellite Offices, and Flex-Office Space. Office locations are preferred in Class A office buildings while Flex-Office Spaces are usually located at light industrial/warehouse facilities. Descriptions of these basic requirements are noted in the following sections.

1. OFFICES

BUILDING LOCATION: The safety and security of TENANT employees, contractors and others employed by TENANT is our primary concern. Our preference is to locate TENANT Offices in Federal buildings when space is available and the building perimeter security is at Department of Justice Level IV or General Services Administration Level D. I f office space is located in a multi-story building, occupancy of entire floors is preferable to partial floor occupancy, additionally occupancy should be above the first floor and below the top floor. Light industrial and warehouse space is excluded from this restriction.

a. CRITERIA THAT ELIMINATES FEDERAL BUILDINGS FROM CONSIDERATION FOR

NEW OFFICE SPACE:

i. Proposed Federal building is not classified as a Department of Justice (DOJ) Level IV or above.

ii. Proposed Federal building is at least a DOJ Level IV, but houses immigration, probation, public defenders, and/or social services offices and does not have a separate entrance, elevator and parking facility for TENANT personnel and clientele.

iii. The only available office space in the proposed Federal building has immigration, probation, public defenders, and/or social services offices on the same floor.

iv. Proposed Federal building houses a day care facility.

v. Proposed Federal building cannot or will not accommodate secured parking for TENANT official vehicles. Parking spaces cannot be in a shared lot with buildings that house Public Defenders Offices.

b. CRITERIA THAT ELIMINATES COMMERCIAL SPACE FROM CONSIDERATION FOR

NEW OFFICE SPACE:

i. Proposed office space is on the first floor or below the first floor of the building.

ii. Proposed office space is on the top floor of the building and rooftop access is within the space.

iii. Proposed office space is inside a shopping mall or shopping center.

iv. Proposed building houses day care facilities, abortion clinics, mental health clinics, or drug rehabilitation clinics, immigration, probations, public defenders, and/or social services (including but not limited to: Social Security Administration (SSA) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)) within the building.

v. Proposed building will not or cannot accommodate secured parking for TENANT official vehicles at this facility.

vi. Proposed building or parking facility is within 1,000 feet of agencies or tenants identified in

iv. Above.

vii. Proposed building is within 1,000 feet of residential areas, places of worship, schools, hospitals, prisons, abortion clinics, mental health clinics, drug rehabilitation clinics and/or day care facilities.

viii. Proposed office space is located in a high crime area or an area that will necessitate more extensive and stringent building security than a generally progressive and alert neighborhood with a low crime rate.

ix. Any exceptions or variances to the above listed criteria must be approved in writing, by the Chief, Physical Security Programs Branch.

If TENANT cannot find a building within the central business district (see Executive Order 12072), which satisfies our security requirements, then TENANT must be allowed to expand the delineated area so that a safe, secure building can be found.

x. Proposed office space cannot be co-located (in a multi-tenant building) with any tenant that can be categorized or advertises as a night-life venue, nor be located within 1,000 feet of a night-life venue.

c. CRITERIA FOR AWARD OF COMMERCIAL OR LEASED SPACES.

i. A copy of the floor plan for the specific floors being offered by a lessor must be provided to

Tenant for review before acceptance of the specific floor and building.

ii. Floors in a specific location that have multiple building core items (multiple elevator banks, multiple stairwells, and multiple mechanical rooms) will not be accepted when they are not centrally located in the center of a space. These items cannot be within Tenant space.

d. PARKING

i. Secured parking spaces are required for government vehicles. The government requires a parking garage with a secure fenced/divided area or on-grade lot within a secure fenced area. Access to the parking area is required at all times (24-hours per day). It is desirable that only TENANT personnel have access to the parking area. If parking cannot be provided on-site (i.e. basement garage, attached building garage, or site lot), parking can be located within a two-block radius of the office if a waiver is granted as noted below.

Access to the parking lots must be controlled. Parking lots and all access from the building to the parking lots must be well lit at all times to ensure safety (i.e. a minimum of 10 foot candle level of illumination). Parking spaces cannot be in a shared lot with buildings that house agencies or tenants listed on page 1.

*Note any waiver from this requirement will require a review of the specific location by the ATF Physical Security Branch. A waiver may be considered if the market area does not have any locations that can provide a secure parking garage, secure fenced parking, or adjacent on-site parking.

The minimum requirements for secure parking enclosure are as follows:

ii. 9 gauge chain link fence, a minimum of 8’ high.

iii. Minimum of three strands of barbed wire running horizontally and continuously along the top of the fence.

iv. Privacy slats pre-inserted.

v. Sliding gate and pedestrian entrance.

vi. Minimum of three continuous horizontal rails placed at the top, bottom and mid-point of the fence.

vii. All vertical fence posts shall be embedded in concrete.

Prior to signing the lease, the landlord should notify GSA if there are any concerns regarding the parking enclosure. All cost associated with the fence enclosure will be charged against the Tenant improvement allowance or paid by TENANT through the initial construction build-out.

2. BUILDING EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

The quantity and quality of police and fire protection and the general character of the overall external environment shall also be considered in determining the location of the TENANT office buildings. All buildings considered by TENANT are required to have well-lit exterior sidewalks, parking structures/lots/spaces, and alleys to ensure safety.

3. SPACE PLANS:

TENANT’s Space Management Branch (SMB) will develop the space plans unless otherwise noted.

4. SECURITY

All security related components will be furnished and installed by TENANT’s security contractor such as the motion detectors, cameras, etc. unless otherwise noted on the space plans or program requirements prepared by TENANT.

a. Security Camera Location – Cameras will be potentially placed in all perimeter entrances and adjacent corridors on floor as well as stairwells. A drawing will be provided to the Lessor prior to installation of cameras.

5. EMPLOYEE PARKING / PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Regularly scheduled public transportation and/or sufficient parking to cover commuting needs of employees must be located within reasonable and safe walking distance of the office.

6. SIGNAGE

No external signage identifying TENANT presence in a facility is permitted. Internal signage is permitted on the floor where TENANT is located.

7. SECURITY CLEARANCE

The Government requires the lessor to submit complete personal history statements for each employee of the lessor as well as employees of the lessor's contractors or subcontractors who will provide continuing building operating services for the property in which the leased space is located. TENANT reserves the right to require completed fingerprint charts. TENANT also requires this information for employees of the lessor, his contractors, or subcontractors who are hired to perform alterations or emergency repairs for the property.

All contract personnel (i.e. cleaning personnel, maintenance personnel, contractor, sub-contractor, etc.)

who are hired to perform building operating services, alterations or emergency repairs for the property are required to complete a Personnel Security Request (PSR) and pass TENANT security background checks before working in TENANT space. (See Exhibit #1)

TENANT through the GSA contracting officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative will advise the lessor in writing if an employee is found to be unsuitable or unfit for his assigned duties. Effective immediately, such an employee cannot work or be assigned to work in TENANT leased space. The lessor will be required to provide the same data within 10 working days for the addition of new employee(s) to the work force.

In the event the lessor's contractor/subcontractor is subsequently replaced, and the new contractor/ subcontractor hires employees who were already cleared, then it is not necessary for them to be cleared again. The contracting officer may require the lessor to submit Form FD-258 and GSA Form 176 for every employee covered by this clause, on a recurring 3-year schedule.

Law Enforcement Sensitive material shall not be posted on any websites by contractors/subcontractors to include specifications, drawings or photos.

8. KEY CONTROL

It is the Tenant’s intent to control keys for Tenant space and the Tenant reserves the right to change the entrance locks to all Tenant space within the building. If the lessor and/or building manager require access into TENANT space after work hours, the lessor and/or building manager must inform Tenant and receive permission to gain access into Tenant space. Tenant personnel must be present at all times to escort non-Tenant personnel.

9. DAYTIME CLEANING, RENOVATION, AND MAINTENANCE

Daytime cleaning shall be included as part of the rental consideration. Daily cleaning, renovation in existing space, and scheduled maintenance must be conducted during business daytime hours between 8 AM to 4 PM. All after-hour work must be scheduled through TENANT. TENANT personnel must be present at all times to escort non-TENANT personnel.

10. MAINTENANCE FOR ABOVE STANDARD HVAC ITEMS

Maintenance for all above standard HVAC equipment shall be included as part of the rental consideration. If the HVAC equipment maintenance is not included in the initial rental proposal, adjustments to the rent may be executed after the above standard HVAC is/are installed and in operation.

11. ANTENNA SPACE:

Outside roof space may be required for the installation of a 22’ antenna (to be supplied by TENANT).

The base station should be located as close to the antenna as possible in a roof top equipment room where available. The antenna mount requires that it be made from 2” rigid conduit that is a minimum of 4’ in length and extends a minimum of 4’ above the highest point of the roof. The roof must be equipped for routing coaxial cable between the antenna and the base station. If conduit is required, the lessor shall provide conduit with a minimum of 2” inside diameter rigid conduit from the antenna mount to the base station location with no more than a total of 280 degrees of bends. Pull strings and weather head on the end that penetrates the building will also be required. An internal 8-wire, Category 5 cable is required from the TENANT office space to the base station location. The lessor shall provide a duplex AC outlet for the base station that is a 20 amp/110 Volt dedicated GFI circuit.

The dedicated AC outlet and an earth ground (central building ground) connection shall be located within 3’ of the base station location. The exact location of the antenna and base station must be coordinated with the TENANT, Radio Communications Branch located in Gaithersburg, MD and can be contacted at (202) 648-9150.

12. SYSTEMS FURNITURE WHIPS

In all TENANT projects that incorporate systems furniture, the general contractor shall be responsible for hardwiring one end of the whip to the electrical circuits. Note that TENANT’s systems furniture contractor will install the opposite end of the whip or make the final connection to the systems furniture.

13. TENANT’s ACCEPTANCE OF SPACE

GSA will formally accept the space for the Government in lease space projects. At a minimum, TENANT will require that the build-out of the perimeter of the space (i.e. walls, wire mesh, door installation, and hardware) must be complete prior to completion of the interior build-out of the space.

This will help to ensure that perimeter security is in place at the scheduled move date and that an office may be able to complete its move even if some internal construction still needs to be completed.

14. LAN ROOM COMPLETION

The LAN room vinyl composition floor tile, drywall partition, door/frame/hardware (with lockable hardware), plywood blocking, ceiling lights, power outlets (for the security, telephone and data), and air-conditioning unit must be complete once the secure perimeter walls/doors have been erected. This will help ensure that TENANT offices have the communications and computer infrastructure and tools needed for their work even if some additional construction still needs to be complete. The LAN room completion date shall be coordinated at the pre-construction meeting.

END OF OFFICE REQUIREMENTS

B. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

1. DESIGN INTENT DRAWINGS

Tenant will provide the design intent drawings along with the program of requirements to the Lessor, building manager, GSA representative, and/or architect.

The TENANT Space Requirements section describes TENANT’s architectural and security standards for each type of office space. The architect shall use these requirements as a guideline in producing the Construction Documents.

In the event of a conflict between this document and the Design Intent drawings, the Design Intent Drawings will prevail.

2. SQUARE FOOTAGE

Square footage requirements are noted on the programming requirements and are not included in this document. Changes to the square footage requirements or variations from the TENANT Space Requirement standards must be approved by TENANT’s Space Management Branch.

3. STANDARD FINISH, DOOR, CEILING, LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS

TENANT’s standard finishes are as follows (unless noted otherwise):

i) 26 - 28 ounce (face weight) carpet;

ii) continuous vinyl cove base;

iii) eggshell paint on walls;

iv) semi-gloss on doors and door frames;

v) solid core doors with minimum dimensions of 3’-0” x 7’-0” x 1-3/4” doors and hollow steel door frames;

vi) 2’x4’ or 2’x2’ acoustical ceiling tiles and ceiling grid; and

vii) 2’ x 4’ or 2’ x 2’ – Manufacturer: Focal Point, Model: Luna or equal , 3-Lamp, T8 recessed indirect w/ perforated center standard basket. See Exhibit 15 for further specifications.

4. DEMISING WALLS

(Note in construction, Perimeter and Demising walls may describe two different types of walls. In construction, Perimeter walls describe the exterior walls of the building and demising walls describe the exterior walls of the Tenant’s space. Personnel in the security industry may describe the exterior walls of the secured space as the Perimeter walls. For the Purpose of this document, TENANT will use the term Perimeter Walls and Demising Walls interchangeably but its meaning will remain the same - i.e. exterior walls of TENANT space.)

Demising walls of TENANT facilities must be acoustically separate from neighboring buildings or from other Tenants sharing space in the same building. All perimeter walls separating TENANT space from building common areas or other Tenants, whether government or non-government, must be separated with wall partitions that extend from the structural floor to the structural ceiling. Demising walls must have a minimum sound transmission class (STC) of 45 and contain 3 inch sound blanket insulation between five-eighths inch gypsum partitions. This includes public corridor walls. (See Exhibit #3a.) Acoustical sealant shall be applied on both sides of the metal stud runner at both slabs.

On floors/ceilings with composite metal decks, the partition, sound insulation, and acoustical sealant shall extend between the flutes of the metal decks. All service boxes shall be sealed. All electrical conduit cables shall be plugged with an acoustical lining and constructed to impede sound t r a n s m i s s i o n .

In addition, a minimum of ¾” #9 Standard or 9-gauge expanded carbon steel (expanded metal) shall be mounted to the outer side of the wall studs and run from slab-to-slab. The long way of the diamond opening in the expanded metal shall be no greater than 2 inches and should be consistent throughout the space. (See Exhibit #2). In cases where concrete block is used as a demising wall, expanded metal may be eliminated.

In some cases, TENANT will move to existing office space. The existing demising walls shall be reinforced with slab to slab expanded metal. It is preferable to weld the expanded metal on the outside face of the walls, but if this is not possible, securing the expanded metal on the inside face of the walls is acceptable. (Note, welding may not be possible if the existing stud gauge is too thin or if the space on the opposite side of TENANT’s space is occupied.) TENANT will allow the installation of the expanded metal on the TENANT side of the demising wall with non-removable screws and metal retaining clips in these instances.

The prospective lessor shall be responsible for identification of the current condition of the demising partition and shall report these conditions to TENANT. TENANT will then determine the modifications that are required to insure that the demising partition results in at least a 3A partition type.

The prospective lessor / GSA must notify TENANT within 72 hours of receipt of the Design Intent Drawings to report these conditions.

5. PERIMETER DOORS

Office perimeter entrance doors (from the public corridor) are required to be solid wood construction with a minimum thickness of 1-3/4 inches with an automatic door closure. These doors shall have long-throw, high-security, single-key deadbolt locks installed for secured hours. Doors will be tight fitting with one-half of an inch by one-eighth of an inch solid neoprene stop on three sides and threshold. There will be no transparent panels installed on these doors. All corridor doors (public and suite) will have a door sweep to stop sound transmission.

Warehouse perimeter doors shall be insulated metal doors.

TENANT will maintain control of all perimeter door keys. Emergency access to TENANT space will be by TENANT authorization only. All perimeter doors will have lock covers to prevent forced entry.

All perimeter doors (i.e. entrance, second entrance/exit, or stairwell doors) that swing out into public space from TENANT’s space should have hinge pins that are spot-welded, braided, provided with non-removable pin hinges, or security stud hinge to prevent removal of perimeter entrance doors. (A security stud hinge has a metal stud on the face of one hinge leaf and a hole in the face of the other leaf.

As the door closes, the stud enters the hole and penetrates the full thickness of the leaf, which create s a "bolting" or "locking" effect.)

The main entrance to all Division offices from the building lobby shall have solid core wood double doors.

6. VENTS AND DUCTS ALONG DEMISING WALLS

Vents and Ducts and all other openings along the demising walls with a total dimension of more than 90 square inches will be protected by the installation of hardened steel round bars, 3/8” in diameter, meeting a 600 Brinell hardness rating, spaced on 6” centers. The steel bars shall be welded to a ¼” steel angle iron frame. The steel frame and its supports shall be supported to the building structure by welding or the use of tamper free anchoring devices. Where feasible, the hardened steel bars and steel angle iron frame shall be anchored to the masonry wall by drilling holes into the wall and using tamper proof anchors epoxy glued into the wall or weld steel angle iron frame to the expanded metal within the demising partition.

7. EMERGENCY/FIRE EXITS

Emergency/Fire Exits shall be equipped with panic bars and a quick-release long-throw dead bolt lock for after hours. These doors must be alarmed. Hinges shall meet the requirements outlined above for perimeter entrance doors.

8. SECURITY AND DOOR HARDWARE

TENANT’s Physical Security Programs Branch (PSPB) will provide supplemental requirements and specifications during the Construction Document phase (See Exhibit 4 for a sample of the Security System and Lock Symbols). If the specifications noted within this document conflict with the specifications provided by PSPB during the Construction Document phase, the supplemental requirements and specifications from PSPB will supersede the specifications noted in this document.

The General Contractor shall furnish and install all door hardware and electric strikes noted on the construction documents unless otherwise noted. Electric strikes shall conform to TENANT’s minimum standards identified on Exhibit #5 - Security Electronic Portal Controls (Electric Strikes).

Prior to purchasing and installation of the electric strikes, the contractor must submit manufacture’s detailed information of the electric strikes (i.e. cut sheet, brochure description, etc….) for TENANT’s approval.

All electric strikes shall have the following options: 24 volt power and fail secure options.

Changes to any security related issues must be approved by TENANT’s Physical Security Programs Branch.

9. TELEPHONE AND SECURITY SYSTEM EQUIPMENT

All telephone and security alarm system equipment are to be located WITHIN the TENANT controlled office area. Telephone and computer closets will be secured by commercial grade locking devices. TENANT will maintain key control.

10. CONDUITS FOR ELECTRIC AND TELEPHONE LINES

Dedicated conduits are to be run from point of entry into the building (“Demark point”) to TENANT’s space. Provide a 3” flexible metal conduit from the main telephone room into the building to TENANT’s main LAN room. If pull boxes are necessary due to existing conditions, they must be outfitted with tamper resistant screws.

If the data or telephone cable leaves TENANT space and passes through the public hallway, the TENANT/Project Manager should request for two 3” flexible metal conduits that pass through the public hallway.
