For conflicts or ambiguities within or among the contract documents the DB Contractor must refer to the DB-101 Agreement.

II.THE PROJECT

The Statement of Work (SOW) specifies the processes and procedures the DB Contractor shall employ when executing the planned work. The SOW is designed to describe not only what is to be done, but also how it is to be done. The SOW does not redefine contractual terms and conditions.

The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the Project and DB Contractor requirements as a part of the Design-Build (DB) contract. This document combined with the documentation contained in the Appendix, and hyperlinks provided constitutes the scope of work (SOW). For conflicts or ambiguities within or among the contract documents the DB Contractor shall refer to the Agreement.

A. Project Description

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) intends to renovate office and office related space in existing GSA Building 50 at the Denver Federal Center (DFC) campus. Most recently, the Bureau of Land Management occupied Building 50; during this tenancy, Building 50 was primarily used as an office function. At the conclusion of the renovation project, three departments of the National Park Service will use Building 50 as their office and workstation space. The 146,187-gross square feet includes space for office, office related space, conference rooms, workstations, restrooms, and basement storage. Upon termination and consolidation of current leases in the Denver metropolitan area, the National Park Service (NPS) will temporarily occupy the northwest corner of the Building 50 (approximately 25,250-square feet), leaving the balance of available area open to for the office renovation project.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) DB Contract for the NPS DFC Building 50 Office Renovations pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Design-Build Selection Procedures and incorporating Design - Construction - Operational Excellence policies and procedures, and other requirements as described within this Statement of Work.

1. BUILDING BACKGROUNDS AND PREVIOUS STUDIES AND PROJECTS

Building 50 was originally designed and constructed in 1941 as a tooling, grinding, and hardening shop facility which contributed to the World War II munitions fabrication effort and campus located in Denver, Colorado. The original building is a single story, T-shaped floor plan and was constructed with cast-in-place concrete frame and multi-wythe masonry enclosure. A two-story expansion was added in 1974, consisting of a below-grade basement level and main level to align with the original Building 50 first floor finished floor elevation. The 1974 addition is constructed with pre-cast concrete columns and girders which support pre-cast concrete double-t floor planks. The 1974 era exterior enclosure consists of patterned pre-cast concrete wall panels in the Brutalist architectural style.

END of SECTION

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Requirements in this section shall apply to all project stages described in the Scope of Services section.

Some of the requirements noted in this section may be subject to exercise of contract option(s).

As a general matter, the Interim Core Building Standards represents baseline performance requirements for the project. In addition, other policies, and procedures provide detailed procedures and requirements that the DB Contractor must follow. Refer to the OPR for a listing of the Standards and Design Criteria Documents.

As a general matter, the Solicitation and Agreement, Interim CORE Building Standards, Project Specific Exclusions or Qualifications, Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR), and standards incorporated by reference represent the overarching documents that govern the DB Contractors performance in executing the SOW. The Interim CORE Building Standards, specifies performance standard minimums for the Building 50 National Parks Service Office Remodel. The DB Contractor is encouraged to exceed the minimum requirements and offer “betterments” to the Government while accomplishing the programmatic, performance and functional goals for the project.

All efforts, material and work performed under this contract must comply with applicable federal codes based on the requirements of the current edition of recognized and accepted building standards, codes, and regulations, including, but not limited to documents referenced in the document list Technical Performance Criteria. The applicable version of each document must be the version current at the time of award of this contractunless otherwise noted. Any conflicts or ambiguities within or among the referenced standards and criteria documents, or any deviations from requirements contained in the documents, must be reported to GSA’s Contracting Officer in writing, for determination as to applicability.

Among the documents listed in Exhibits and other Attachments, include design documents that were prepared by other design professionals and GSA. These documents are provided for reference only: the Design-Builder’s design professionals (Architects and Engineers) must be responsible for the complete design of the project, including all drawings and specifications. Other documents describe design requirements to which the work produced by this contract must conform.

The DB Contractor must ensure that NO A/E Copyright claims are included within the project documents.

A. Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR)

In General the OPR describes:

Whole building concepts diagram location of the shared spaces in relation to Inter-Mountain Region (IMR), Denver Service Center (DSC), and Washington Area Support Office (WASO) neighborhoods.

Each neighborhood should have easy access to the shared spaces. Three main design goals have been communicated as highly desirable by the National Park Service user groups located in Building 50:

- The office renovation design must provide clarity of place for each organization and must achieve intuitive circulation to shared and support spaces with wayfinding implementations that are easy to follow.

- The office renovation design must be inclusive and make achieving accessibility goals a high priority.

- Sustainability is an inherent purpose for NPS, and distinctively integrating in the NPS mission. Office renovations must embrace and demonstrate a clear commitment to sustainability.

It should be noted that Building 50 will host a plethora of individuals whose primary responsibility is with the design and construction of NPS owned facilities; the Design Build contractor should consider workplace change management as a project betterment to their proposed design services.

The National Parks Services is collocating from several different buildings to a single building (Building 50) at the Federal Center. The new space will need to accommodate three groups:

Intermountain Region (IMR), Denver Service Center (DSC), and Washington Area Support Office (WASO). These three directorates also have common shared spaces. IMR is comprised of 8 directorates, DSC is 7 directorates, and WASO is 16. Each directorate is divided into neighborhoods with shared spaces mixed within each group: overflow workstations, breakrooms, collaboration spaces, and team meeting areas. Each of the neighborhoods also has easy access to the building shared facilities, such as: conference rooms, restrooms, libraries, copy areas and storage.

The design Intent of the “Neighborhoods” is to make each neighborhood visually different from one another in order to enhance the functionality of intuitive wayfinding and the identity of place. For example, wall colors, large-scale environmental graphics, and room name nomenclature could be used to provide unique character and identity to each neighborhood. The design intent is for each “Neighborhood” to have a theme and/or color scheme, to set it apart from the other 3 “Neighborhoods.”

Included in the Neighborhood’s shared spaces are:

Closed Meeting spaces

- Team Rooms (Large, Medium, and Small)

- Quiet Rooms/Phone Rooms

Open Collaborations Areas (Large, Medium, and Small)

Kitchenette and Break rooms

Print rooms, Open print areas, and Printer/fax stations

Wellness/Lactation Areas

These neighborhood spaces are common/shared spaces located within each Neighborhood.

1. TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND CRITERIA

The Design Stage services and Construction Stage work under this Statement of Work must comply with Technical Performance Standards and Criteria.

The Office Renovation project is primarily comprised of new tenant finishes and fit-out for NPS in Building 50, at the Denver Federal Center. The NPS is consolidating three main directorate spaces from several building leases into a single location, Denver Federal Center Building 50. Based on NPS mission statement, a high priority is placed on reuse, repurpose, and recycle as much of the existing Building 50 interior walls and space as is programmatically possible.

No utility work or infrastructure-related core and shell scope of work is anticipated for the interior renovation project; any utility work, including utility locations requires surveying for incorporation into the utility geodatabase per SOP 32.

Refer to OPR report for technical outlines per discipline.

4. DELIVERABLES MATRIX

5. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: PLANNING & DESIGN

Whole building concepts diagram location of the shared spaces in relation to Inter-Mountain Region (IMR), Denver Service Center (DSC), and Washington Area Support Office (WASO) neighborhoods.

Each neighborhood should have easy access to the shared spaces. Three main design goals have been communicated as highly desirable by the National Park Service user groups located in Building 50:

- The office renovation design must provide clarity of place for each organization and must achieve intuitive circulation to shared and support spaces with wayfinding implementations that are easy to follow.

- The office renovation design must be inclusive and make achieving accessibility goals a high priority.

- Sustainability is an inherent purpose for NPS, and distinctively integrating in the NPS mission. Office renovations must embrace and demonstrate a clear commitment to sustainability.

It should be noted that Building 50 will host a plethora of individuals whose primary responsibility is with the design and construction of NPS owned facilities; the Design Build contractor should consider workplace change management as a project betterment to their proposed design services.

The concepts developed as part of this OPR are a quadrant option, a spine option, and a split option.

There are pros and cons to each conceptual option.

6. COMMISSIONING PLAN - PRELIMINARY

[Editor: The CxP must provide the preliminary Commissioning plan in the OPR. The Preliminary plan will provide the basis for the Cx process, quality assurance process, standards and expectations.]

7. BASIS OF DESIGN (BoD)

The DB Contractor must update and submit a BoD Report with each formal design review and must at a minimum the following:

1. Description of the principles, assumptions, rationale, criteria, and considerations used for calculations and decisions required during design.

2. The technical approach planned for the project is incorporated into the project technical specifications.

3. The code analysis, catalog cuts and manufacturers information used to set the minimum levels of quality performance set by the design.

4. The OE Analysis.

5. must respond to each applicable system as described in the Interim CORE Building Standards

B. Performance Requirements

In General

The Government will use the OPR and Performance Requirements to determine whether the DB Contractor’s work complies with the contract requirements. The DB Contractor must provide all services in accordance with the version of the Technical Performance Standards and Criteria and References issued at the time of contract award.

For conflicts or ambiguities within or among the contract documents the DB Contractor must refer to the Agreement.

If a requirement contained in the Reference Materials exceeds, and/or conflicts with that required by the Interim CORE Building Standards, the DB Contractor must comply with the most stringent requirement unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer. The DB Contractor may exceed requirements contained in the Reference Materials to accomplish programmatic and functional goals for the project, including but not limited to energy performance, sustainability, or industry best practices.

1. BUILDING DESIGN STANDARDS (BDS)

In order to ensure all buildings under GSA’s jurisdiction and control maintain design integrity and efficient building operations, to preserve the original design, and to ensure consistency in all future alterations, GSA PBS has established the project specific Building Design Standard.

The BDS must document the overall space planning strategies for buildings in an effort to maintain the original architectural intent and value for each property.

The DB Contractor must identify key elements in their design and develop an outline BDS document for those identified elements that is based on the Adobe In Design template provided by GSA. The BDS must be based on the post-award final concept design. The document must include guidelines for analysis of the significant exterior design characteristics of the building. The document may have standard items, such as finishes and fixtures, and must be organized in common categories so that they can be easily referenced. The manual may also include sketches, graphics and diagrams.

These established design guidelines must provide a design reference to “future” building alterations.

The DB Contractor must provide at the CD/IFC submission, a submittal that must contain updated information from the finish, hardware, lighting, and signage schedule. This information must include:

wall, floor, ceiling and specialty finishes, as well as hardware, plumbing fixtures, and lighting fixture specifications as designed and constructed. The BDS document must guide the selection of finishes, hardware, lighting and signage in all alterations to the building, preserving the original design intent as established by the DB Contractor.

2. FIRE PROTECTION & LIFE SAFETY

Fire protection and life safety design requirements must comply with Interim CORE Building Standards and additional requirements as identified in the OPR, Fire and Life Safety.

In cases where the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is silent on an issue, and the International Building Code (IBC) addresses the issue, the IBC requirement must apply.

The DB Contractor’s registered fire protection engineer must be a full participant in the Project Delivery Team throughout the Design and Construction Stages of the project, and must design the fire alarm, fire pump, and fire sprinkler systems and for any smoke control systems that may be necessitated by the DB Contractor's design.

3. ACCESSIBILITY

The Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS) is mandatory for all GSA projects. The DB Contractor is responsible for identifying local accessibility requirements. If local requirements have been established, the most stringent requirements must prevail between local requirements and the ABAAS. Refer Interim CORE Building Standards

a. This project must be designed to afford full accessibility by disabled persons without having to add separate or special facilities except where specific exclusions from this requirement are provided in applicable standards and criteria documents.

b. The DB Contractor must refer to the P-100 2024v and the Pre-Alteration Assessment (and/or) Requirements, i.e. accessibility assessment for submission requirements.

c. The DB Contractor shall become familiar with and follow the Guidance as set forth in the GSA DEIA Strategic Plan with respect to advancing accessibility and prioritizing access to underserved communities.

4. PHYSICAL SECURITY

The DB Contractor shall not need to install physical security measures. Card readers shall be installed as discussed in the OPR.

C. Project Delivery Requirements

GSA has specific requirements when delivering its projects. The DB Contractor must perform the services and activities to complete the following project delivery requirements:

1. SPATIAL DATA MANAGEMENT (SDM)

At each design phase submission the DB Contractor must incorporate the processes and procedures for space assignments, measurements, and tabulations as identified in the SDM Requirements, refer to the Standards and Design Criteria Documents.

a. Provide an IFC BIM and 2D CAD plans, one for each level of the facility, with assignment data and space boundaries that comply with the National Business Space Assignment Policy. Refer to GSA’s National BIM, CDX & COBie Standard for additional technical requirements to complete SDM drawings.

b. Design for the NPS Building 50 project should not to deviate from the OPR for the priorities identified in section II.A.7 without prior written approval from the Contracting Officer.

c. Coordinate with the regional SDM Manager to develop the SDM Reports and CAD Assignment Plans.

d. The DB Contractor must use the GSA Pricing Desk Guide, 5th Edition to implement GSA concepts (such as Shell and Core Construction and Tenant Improvements) and the GSA National Business Space Assignment Policy, (NBSAP) 2021 edition which explains building measurement and space assignment. [Editor: SDM examples may be found @ SDM Space Reconciliation Report Examples]

e. A Space Program Reconciliation Report (SPRR) is required at each of the design submittal stages. The DB Contractor must create a SPRR that illustrate the difference between the:

1) Space Requirements and the actual building design

2) The SPRR must include a narrative explaining all differences and variances.

3) The SPRR must ensure that the programmatic areas are fully defined, that circulation factors are properly applied, allowances are included for support areas and options accounted for in the design program. It should include tabulations of the usable, rentable, and gross square foot areas of the project in compliance with the NBSAP.
