NOTE

1. Current resident population is 380. A 400-resident program was developed to allow flexibility and surge. This could be potentially reduced to 380 residents due to budgetary or other reasons.

2. Typically dormitories are organized in 34-bed wings consisting of 32 beds in eight 4-bed rooms and 2 beds in one accessible room, plus associated student area spaces.

Wing sizes may be modified to accommodate 400 students in 10 to 12 wings.

IV. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

A. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

1. Quality Requirements

a. Start-Up and Commissioning and Training

The purpose of commissioning documentation is to record the standards of performance for building systems, and to verify that what is designed and constructed meets those standards. At a minimum the Lessor shall accomplish the following:

(1) Field verification inspection and testing of commissioned systems, assemblies, and features are to be performed as each phase is completed. Verify that the systems operate in accordance with the design intent.

(2) Retest specific systems and/or system components once the deficiencies discovered during the first test are resolved.

(3) During functional performance testing and operator training, the team verifies the performance of building systems and determines the most efficient equipment settings.

(4) Testing should examine systems as a whole in order to evaluate overall design and compatibility.

(5) The Lessor’s Quality Control Manager willalso supervise operations staff training on commissioned systems and equipment, and organize warranty information.

(6) Ultimately, the team will prepare documentation on systems, including benchmarks for energy use and equipment efficiencies, seasonal operational issues, start-up and shutdown procedures.

(7) Test data reports shall contain results of the testing and inspection plans and include pre-functional test (PFT) reports, functional test reports (FTP), and other test results specified for the commissioned systems.

(8) Due to weather conditions, not all systems can be tested at or near full load during the construction phase. Provide for off-season testing to allow testing, balancing, and optimization of integrated systems under the best conditions.

(9) Upon completion of the equipment and systems installation and connections, the Lessor’s Quality Control Manager shall assemble all major equipment factory representatives and subcontractors together for system start-up and Owner instructional period. These individuals shall assist in start-up and check out of their systems and shall remain at the site until the systems operation is acceptable and understood to the Owner’s maintenance and/or operation personnel.

(10)The Lessor’s Quality Control Manager shall prepare a statement and check list to be included in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. This Statement shall read as follows:

“The contractor, associated factory representatives and subcontractors, have started each system and the total system and have proved their normal operation to the Owner and have instructed him in the operation and maintenance thereof.”

Owner Lessor

Upon successful start-up and testing, instruct the Owner’s representative(s) in operation and maintenance of mechanical systems utilizing the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Individuals present shall include Lessor’s Quality Control Manager, subcontractors and equipment factory representatives. These individuals shall assist in instruction and start-up. The instruction period shall occur after substantial completion when systems are properly working. The training period shall consist of a total 8 hours of normal working time using approximately half of the time for classroom instruction, and the remaining time for instruction with the equipment or system.

V. PROJECT SCHEDULE

Offerors shall submit a macro-schedule showing required construction start of June 16, 2009, major milestones, and the projected completion date.
