BUILDING PROGRAM STANDARDS

I. GENERAL STANDARDS

General Notes

The Building Program Standards noted herein represent programmatic information necessary to design and construct the tenant space for State of Illinois agencies and offices under the leasing authority of the Department of Central Management Services (“CMS”) in accordance with the needs of the State entity occupying the space (“Using Agency”). As programmatic information, the standards noted herein are not all inclusive, and are not a substitute for specifications or construction documents from which the tenant space will be constructed. The standards noted herein provide general performance guidelines to quality and standards required for the delivery of an interior and exterior environment conducive to the programs, services and activities under the purview of the Using Agency.

If the Building Program Standards found here conflict with the requests found in the Request for Information (“RFI”) or Tenant Space Configuration (“TSC”) (collectively, the “Procurement Documents”) or the resulting lease (“Lease”), the Building Program Standards will defer to the other documents. Building Program Standards must conform to requirements set out in the TSC, Lease, and all applicable laws and building codes.

All construction must be done by mechanics or workmen skilled in their respective trades, must be done in a workmanlike manner and present an industry standard appearance acceptable to the Using Agency.

Office Space Standards for Sustainable Practices

The following requirements shall be met to conform to CMS policy governing the spatial performance of leased properties:

For existing facilities or facilities newly acquired through transfer, purchase or lease with rentable area greater than or equal to 10,000 square feet, and where the tenant improvements to a lease exceed the current annual base rental cost, the following performance requirements shall apply.

For existing facilities or facilities newly acquired through transfer, purchase or lease with rentable area less than 10,000 square feet, and where the tenant improvements to a lease exceed the current annual base rental cost, the following performance requirements shall apply to the maximum extent feasible.

1. The area per person performance benchmark shall be 275 rentable square feet.

2. The following interior spaces shall not be included in the rentable area of the facility for the purpose of measuring the performance of office space:

a. public and client services waiting areas used for direct client services or public access to services provided within the interior office spaces

b. public and client restrooms provided for use in addition to employee restrooms

c. public and client service records and active work files associated with service delivery

Where carpeting is installed during the initial tenant build-out or by subsequent amendment to the Lease, the building standard carpeting for this tenant area shall contain post-consumer recycled content and shall conform to the Carpet and Rug Institute/Indoor Air Quality (CRI/IAQ) Carpet Test Green Label Guidelines pursuant to Executive Order Number 11 (2001) accordance with the following requirements.

Definition of Post-Consumer Recycled Content:

Content derived from carpet products following their initial useful life, diverted from the waste stream, and through manufacturing processes, converted to form the contents, in whole or in part, of new products with useful lives to re-enter the commerce stream.

Post-consumer recycled content is expressed as a certain, consistent percentage of the total content of a product such as carpet, or percentage of the total content of a component of a product such as fibers or backing material. Recycled content expressed by statements such as “up to 60% recycled content” or “recycled content subject to availability” are not acceptable. Product recycled content must not vary in running line products. Recycled content products should have equal or better performance and cost no more than comparable virgin content products.

Definition of Post-Industrial Content:

Post-industrial content is a substance that, without a process change or other modification to incorporate it into a product with useful life, would enter the waste stream (for disposal) as a material without a useful life. Normal by-products in product manufacturing, which are normally reused within the original manufacturing process, or waste by-products that would not normally enter the waste stream do not constitute post-consumer or post-industrial recycled content per FTC guidelines 16 CRF section 260.7 (e) example 1.

Recycling Requirements:

Existing carpet products to be removed from the premises shall not enter the waste stream and, shall not be disposed of as landfill material or be incinerated for any purpose. Existing carpet products shall be 100% recycled back into carpet, or other new products with useful lives to re-enter the commerce stream, an infinite number of times. Recyclability of carpet products may include any active commercial process, which will return post-consumer (used) carpet to new carpet products or other new products with useful lives such as highway derivatives, automobile parts, and building construction materials.

New carpet products must meet FTC guidelines for recyclability and be 100% recyclable in a fully established, currently operational recycling program per 16 CRF section 260.7 (d). A claim of recyclability cannot be made for a product or any portion of a product that is incinerated, even if incineration is used to produce heat and power (e.g. waste-to-energy) per FTC guidelines 16 CFR section

260.7 (d) example 3. Manufacturer to provide a statement signed by an officer of the company verifying that all environmental marketing claims are consistent with FTC’s Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims, 16 CFR section 260.

Manufacturer must have a collection and recovery system for carpet products purchased under this agreement and a fully established, currently operational recycling program per FTC guides Section 260.7(d). Manufacturer must provide written guarantee that 100% of recovered products will be recycled and that no portion of the products will be landfilled or incinerated. Manufacturer must be able to recover and recycle materials compatible with products in its recycling program. Recycling process, collection, recovery and re-use of materials, must be available for viewing and verifiable by an independent, neutral, third-party organization. Claiming a product is recyclable based on future expectation of technology, equipment, process or availability of that product as feedstock is not acceptable. Manufacturer must have product take back / buyback program capable of providing customer with financial incentive to return carpet for recycling. Manufacturer to provide recyclable bags with shipment so that cardboard and plastic packaging can be collected and recycled. Note: See CMS Website (http://www.state.il.us/cms/green/Suppliers.htm) for list of Green Label Carpeting suppliers for recycling.

Alternative Recycling Requirements:

To encourage the innovative development of 100% sustainable carpet products, and recognizing the harvesting of such products as an input resource will not occur until sufficient product has penetrated the market and exceeded its useful life, an alternative means of determining recycled content is appropriate.

For the manufacturers of 100% sustainable carpet products where recycled content in the product comes from the consumer waste stream of that same product, where fiber is recycled into new face fiber and backing material is recycled into new backing material to sustain the product line, whether fed by waste from the same product line or carpet products outside that product line, the use of consumer waste stream materials as an energy input to the 100% sustainable carpet product shall be considered a recycled content where there is a documented 20% or more reduction in the non-renewable energy input to the sustainable carpet product resulting from the use of consumer waste stream materials when compared to 100% energy input from non-renewable energy sources. Manufacturer shall issue a recycling certificate stating the method used to calculate recycled content and the calculated non-renewable energy input savings as a percentage of total energy input at the time of completion of the 100% sustainable carpet product.

Broadloom: Tufted and Woven

Fiber/Yarn:

Carpet material shall be 100% commercial filament nylon 6.0 or 6.6. The minimum denier per filament of fibers to be 18dpf. Fibers and yarns are to be first quality in accordance with normally accepted industry standard practices.

Modular products to have broadloom coordinates to keep the areas where modular products are used to a minimum in lieu of less expensive broadloom products.

Warranty & Performance Criteria:

Manufacturer to provide a written warranty environmental guarantee that 100% of carpeting returned to Manufacturer for recycling will be recycled and that no portion of the carpet will be landfilled or incinerated as a disposal method.

Warranties to be sole source responsibility of the Manufacturer. Second source warranties and warranties that involve parties other than the carpet manufacturers are unacceptable. If the product fails to perform as warranted when properly installed and maintained, the affected area will be repaired and/or replaced at the discretion of the Manufacturer. Chair pads must not be required for carpet warranty coverage.

Static: Acceptable Static Propensity for all products types should be less than or equal to the normally accepted commercial standard of 3.5 KV. Static protection must be permanent with a static control filament included in the fibers. Warranty period - Lifetime.

Lessor shall furnish CMS a copy of any and all warranties upon request. All warranties shall be transferable to the State.

Recycled Content:

To insure carpet is diverted from the waste stream including landfills for the production of the product, and the amount of virgin, non-renewable natural resources used in the product is reduced, carpet product shall have a minimum weighted average of 20% post-consumer recycled content. Recycled content must be reported as a percentage by weight of a specific component of the carpet product [e.g. face yarn or backing material] and by total weight of the product. Example: A 30 oz. face weight product with 6 oz.

of post-consumer recycled content in the nylon face yarn would have 20% post-consumer recycled content for the face weight component and a lesser percentage for total weight of the product.

Product must carry a product label, or be accompanied by a letter from the manufacturer certifying, the percentage of post-consumer recycled content of a specific component of the carpet product and percentage of post-consumer recycled content by total weight of the carpet product. Manufacturer’s claim of recycled content shall be substantiated by compliance with FTC Guides 16CFR Part 260(e).

Fly ash is not considered recycled content for the purposes herein.

Alternative Recycled Content:

For the manufacturers of 100% sustainable carpet products where recycled content in the product comes from the consumer waste stream of that same product, where fiber is recycled into new face fiber and backing material is recycled into new backing material to sustain the product line, whether fed by waste from the same product line or carpet products outside that product line, the use of consumer waste stream materials as an energy input to the 100% sustainable carpet product shall be considered a recycled content where there is a documented 20% or more reduction in the non-renewable energy input to the sustainable carpet product resulting from the use of consumer waste stream materials when compared to 100% energy input from non-renewable energy sources.

Manufacturer shall issue a recycling certificate stating the method used to calculate recycled content and the calculated non-renewable energy input savings as a percentage of total energy input at the time of completion of the 100% sustainable carpet product.

Sustainable Practices for Heating, Cooling and Ventilation Systems (with Janitorial & Pest Control)

Uniform air distribution throughout the tenant space will take precedence over compartmentalization of interior space when interior space is newly planned or altered using Sustainable Practices noted herein.

The uniform air distribution design should offer a flexible environment for the configuration or re-configuration of enclosed spaces. Typically, enclosed spaces will conform in size and configuration to the module of the uniform, continuous ceiling grid. Some enclosed spaces will require enclosure to the structure above, but the typical enclosed space will terminate at or below the continuous ceiling grid when interior space is newly planned or altered.

Furnish and install all necessary equipment to provide all tenant areas with heating and cooling control so as to achieve a 72° Fahrenheit temperature, plus or minus 5° Fahrenheit. Said equipment to be designed so that outside fresh air is introduced in adequate quantity to maintain humidity of 35% to 55% of summer outside air conditions. Also see Indoor Air Quality below. All work to be performed in strict accord with all applicable local, state, and national codes.

All H.V.A.C. equipment to be rated 85% or better efficiency except rooftop units shall be rated at 80% efficiency or better. Zoned HVAC systems are acceptable.

Areas having excessive heat gain or heat loss or affected by solar radiation at different times of the day, shall be independently controlled so that the interior temperature conditions stipulated can be maintained without drafts and air-conditioning equipment noises. Where noted in the Tenant Space Configuration, areas containing heat generating equipment shall be designed to maintain a constant temperature of 67°F for optimal functioning of equipment. Walls, penetrations of walls for HVAC and other features of the enclosing walls shall be designed to isolate constant temperature rooms from other tempered spaces for most energy efficient manner of providing constant temperature. File Server Rooms shall have independent HVAC unit (zone) and controls to maintain constant temperature. Concealed package air conditioning equipment may be used to meet localized spot cooling of tenant special equipment.

Exhaust ventilation shall be provided as required for all areas noted in the Tenant Space Configuration.
