OWNER’S PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

These Owner’s Project Requirements are the result of a careful and detailed collaboration between multiple Texas Facilities Commission program areas directly responsible for all State-owned and managed facilities under its charge and control. These program areas are required to (1) oversee the design and construction of built facilities and grounds and (2) manage, operate, and maintain all built facilities and grounds. Through this collaborative effort these Owner’s Project Requirements embody the shared goals and objectives for new facilities to be built by the agency and provide a guideline for the renovation and rehabilitation of existing facilities.

The Owner’s Project Requirements shall be reviewed for accuracy, applicability, and effectiveness and, if necessary, updated no later than every five years. The review is conducted by a committee which is chaired by the Deputy Executive Director of the Facilities Design and Construction division. No changes or amendments shall be made to this document in the interim, unless specifically reviewed and approved in writing. Any such change or amendment shall be duly documented including a reference for the need for the change or amendment and the date such change or amendment was made.

It is agreed that the requirements listed herein adequately identify, describe and document the requirements which form the basis from which all design, construction, acceptance, and operational decisions will be made on behalf of the project. These Owner’s Project Requirements are formally approved and adopted as of June 2021.

1 Applicability of Owner’s Project Requirements

The Texas Facilities Commission (“TFC”) intends these Owner’s Project Requirements (the “Requirements”) to apply generally to new construction initiated pursuant to the 2016 Capitol Complex Master Plan, to new construction at the State of Texas North Austin Complex (“NAC”), and potentially to other State construction projects. TFC intends these Requirements to be a companion appendix to solicitations for new construction projects and to be a key resource in developing the respective project’s basis of design (“BOD”).

Tenant agencies

New construction subject to these Requirements will be owned by the State of Texas (the “Owner”) and occupied by State of Texas agencies; those agencies will be tenants within the building(s). Potential tenant agencies include departments, commissions, boards, agencies, or other government instrumentalities. The tenant agencies may or may not be identified when the solicitation issues.

TFC

TFC will manage the design and construction process and will maintain the building(s) after completion. Pursuant to Texas Government Code Sections 2165.001 and 2165.002, TFC has been assigned charge and control of certain public buildings, grounds, and property and responsibility for its proper care and protection from damage, intrusion, or improper use. In addition, pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 2165.007, TFC provides facility management services to all state-owned properties in Travis County and adjacent counties unless specifically excepted by law. Accordingly, TFC has a right of access to all areas of the properties under its charge and control for the purpose of meeting its statutory duties.

Texas Capitol Complex Master Plan

Refer to the 2016 Texas Capitol Complex Master Plan and the 2018 and 2020 updates to the Master Plan (collectively, the “Texas CapCom MP”) for information regarding phasing, planning and urban design, parking, infrastructure, landscape design, site design, and architectural design guidelines for new construction within the Capitol Complex.

The Texas CapCom MP provides guidance on a wide range of design considerations: general exterior aesthetics, building step-backs and set-backs, pedestrian and vehicular ingress and egress, parking, campus systems infrastructure, and site utilities.

North Austin Complex Master Plan

For new construction at the NAC, refer to the 2014 Preliminary North Austin Complex Master Plan (“2014 NAC MP”) for additional guidance.

Other locations

These Requirements may apply to other projects in Texas. If applicable, the solicitation will specify that these Requirements shall be followed.

2 Fundamental Design Criteria

The Owner’s Project Requirements set forth minimum requirements for all new construction proposed in response to the solicitation. These Requirements summarize minimum expectations relating to the building(s) and related improvements. Refer to the most recently published version of the TFC

22 June 2021 Texas Facilities Commission OPR Version 1 Page 12 of 172

Architectural/Engineering Guidelines for guidance related to TFC’s preferred procedures, design phase deliverables, and design documentation and BIM/CADD requirements and preferences.

Exterior Appearance and Finish

For building(s) subject to the requirements of the Texas CapCom MP, refer to Architectural Principles set forth in the Texas CapCom MP. The Architectural Principles provide guidance regarding massing, materiality, relationship to street, relationship to public space, fenestration, climate responsiveness, service areas, parking structures, and other elements. The buildings planned for Phases 1 through 3 of the Texas CapCom MP include both “District Focus” and “Fabric” buildings. The designations of the Texas CapCom MP will significantly affect the exterior appearance and finish of the respective buildings. Refer to the Texas CapCom MP for an explanation of those terms.

Decisions regarding specific building structure, envelope, and building systems shall be made based on life cycle cost analyses to select building systems and elements with the lowest overall total cost of ownership.

Interior Appearance and Finish

New building(s) subject to these Requirements shall generally be purpose-built office construction; certain buildings may contain specialty program spaces and spaces intended for not-yet-identified, third-party tenants. Refer to the solicitation for descriptions of potential lease and specialty program spaces. If tenant agencies have been identified in the solicitation, new construction will combine core-and-shell and interior finish-out in a single design package for turnkey delivery. If the tenant agencies have not been identified, new design and construction may proceed on the basis of a core-and-shell model with separate tenant finish-out construction.

Ground-level interior spaces, especially those open to the general public, shall be designed to reinforce the design principles outlined in the respective Master Plan. Implementing these principles will require attention to urban design axes, creating engaging public space, reinforcing building porosity, careful finish material selection for durability and aesthetic qualities, use of natural daylighting, among other architectural principles. Public lobbies, public restrooms, staff lobbies and restrooms, waiting areas, elevators, and corridors shall reflect the significance of the important missions fulfilled by the tenant agencies.

Typical office levels (i.e., floors three and above for most buildings subject to these Requirements) shall be designed and finished with an understanding that the occupation by tenant agencies requires frequent reconfiguration of partitions, systems furniture, and demising walls between tenant spaces. Finish selections, lighting design, and space allocation to program requirements shall reflect economic prudence.

Sustainability

2.3.1 Meeting or exceeding the State Energy Conservation Office (“SECO”) regulations is intended to achieve many of the efficiencies for which third-party certifications of sustainable design are typically pursued. Therefore, these Requirements do not require pursuit of any additional specific sustainability benchmarks or targets established by third-party certification organizations.

2.3.2 The building(s) shall be designed to integrate site attributes with building function to create a high performance, resource conserving, flexible and resilient facility to promote and enhance occupant health, productivity and well-being over the life of the building. The building(s) shall create an environment to support effective fulfillment of tenant agencies’ missions.

22 June 2021 Texas Facilities Commission OPR Version 1 Page 13 of 172

2.3.3 The design of the building(s) and site shall facilitate circulation between indoor and outdoor areas such that outdoor areas shall be easily accessible to building occupants for work-related and informal activities.

2.3.4 The building(s) and site shall be designed to enhance ecosystem function through green infrastructure that integrates landscape design with storm water management, heat island mitigation, and air filtration using native and non-invasive adapted species that also enhance biodiversity.

2.3.5 The building(s) shall contribute to the goal of reducing water use through water-saving fixtures and native, non-invasive adapted species and efficient irrigation equipment. Water reuse opportunities shall be identified to further reduce reliance on potable water use.

Species selection shall comply with xeriscaping requirements issued pursuant to Texas Government Code section 2166.404.

2.3.6 The building(s) shall contribute to the goal of reducing energy use through strategic building orientation to take advantage of solar gain, daylight, shade, and breeze, augmented with efficient fixtures and a high level of thermal envelope performance including building insulation and high-performance fenestration. A life cycle cost analysis (“LCCA”) shall be used as a basis to determine appropriateness of solar photovoltaic and solar thermal systems. The building shall be designed to be “solar-ready” to facilitate connection to solar photovoltaic energy systems in the future, if not included in the initial building scope.

2.3.7 High indoor air quality shall be achieved by selecting low-toxicity materials including low-emitting VOC paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, flooring products, composite wood and agri-fiber products, and finishes. Controlling pollutants and outdoor contaminants shall also be achieved to improve indoor environmental quality.

2.3.8 Materials that are locally sourced and manufactured and contain recycled content and rapidly renewable materials shall enhance the life cycle environmental performance of the building(s). Construction waste shall be diverted from landfill through recycling or reuse, to the extent possible. Target amounts of waste diversion shall be determined on a project-by-project basis, relative to the scope of the project.

2.3.9 Occupant health and well-being shall be enhanced by ensuring a minimum 75 percent of regularly occupied areas have access to daylight and views to the outdoors.

2.3.10 Easily accessible, centrally located, dedicated areas for the collection of materials for recycling for the tenant spaces shall be provided for the collection of paper, corrugated cardboard, plastic and metals.

2.3.11 Indoor chemical and pollutants shall be controlled and properly ventilated to prevent hazards to occupants.

Functionality

2.4.1 Organization of service and common spaces: Rooms accommodating equipment for building infrastructure, especially if common to each floor, shall be vertically stacked near the building’s core for most efficient design for conduit, pipe, ducting, and other distribution pathways. Rooms in this category include but are not limited to mechanical, electrical, telecom, and custodial equipment rooms.

Typical office levels in buildings subject to these requirements shall have at least one each of the following space types: shared break area, shared quiet room, and shared men’s and

22 June 2021 Texas Facilities Commission OPR Version 1 Page 14 of 172 women’s restrooms. Because each of these spaces will have plumbing, these common space types shall be vertically stacked.

Shared large conference rooms, training rooms, classrooms, and auditoriums shall be located on the ground level or Level 02, unless specifically indicated otherwise. Refer to the solicitation and other documents related to a specific building(s) for additional detail on program requirements.

2.4.2 Tenant agency spaces: The building(s) shall accommodate tenant agencies’ staff, meeting rooms, collaboration areas, training rooms, filing and storage, and other functions required to fulfil tenant agency missions.

2.4.3 Data Center: Buildings shall utilize Co-Located server rooms for tenant servers, to leverage shared infrastructure for supporting critical systems. The room will be on emergency power and protected by a pre-action fire sprinkler system and a redundant NFPA 200 fire suppression system. The data center will be classified as UI Uptime Tier II and shall comply with the requirements of that classification.

2.4.4 Child-care facility: Pursuant to Texas Government Code section 2165.206, TFC must consider provision of a child-care facility as first priority over all other uses in a building except for purposes essential to its tenant agencies’ official functions. Refer generally to “Minimum Standards for Child-care Centers” (2015) published by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (“DFPS”). The 1601 Congress State Office Building includes a shared Child-Care Facility available to State employees. New construction projects shall evaluate capacity of this facility relative to potential increased demand from any increases in State employees due to the project, to determine if additional child-care program is merited in the new project.

2.4.4.1 Sizing: A child-care facility shall be large enough to accommodate classrooms for children aged zero through five years, with at least one classroom for each developmental group. The facility shall meet or exceed DFPS minimum space standards. The outdoor activity space(s) shall be no less than 25 percent of the total interior square footage licensed for use as a child-care facility.

2.4.4.2 Outdoor activity space: Outdoor activity space(s) shall be separated from common public areas by at least a 6-foot high barrier. Any communicating gate or door to common public areas shall be access-controlled. Refer to the appropriate Complex master plan for guidance on aesthetics for a barrier wall or fence. Provide sunshade for play areas for children aged zero to five years; pea gravel shall not be used as a ground surface for play areas for those age groups. Optimally, the child-care facility outside play shall provide an appropriate mix of permanently installed fixtures: climbing and swinging structures, drinking fountain(s), water play structure, sand areas, storage, a garden, and a tricycle path. Each partitioned outdoor activity space requires at least two exits; one of those exits must direct occupants away from the building.

2.4.4.3 Covered pick-up / drop-off and ground level location: At a minimum, a potential child-care facility tenant shall be accommodated on the ground floor with convenient access to a covered pick-up / drop-off area and to exterior pedestrian paths and shall be located in an access-controlled area. Locating any rooms for child care above the ground level or below grade requires approval by the authority having jurisdiction

(“AHJ”).

2.4.4.4 Critical program elements: Noise migration both into and out of the child-care center shall be mitigated to the greatest degree possible. Special consideration for young children’s lighting sensitivities shall be accommodated in the lighting design. It is

22 June 2021 Texas Facilities Commission OPR Version 1 Page 15 of 172 recommended that consideration be given to identify a safe refuge area within the facility for use in an emergency. Also refer to 2.4.9 below.

2.4.5 Wellness center facilities: If the building program calls for a wellness center, fitness center, or similar facilities, the preferred location within the building is on or near the ground floor with convenient access to exterior pedestrian paths and located in an access-controlled area. Noise and vibration migration from exercise equipment and/or free weights from the overall facility shall be mitigated to the greatest reasonable degree. Indoor ventilation requirements should follow best practices for this program space. Finishes should be appropriate for the environment and allow easy cleaning. It is not the intent of this section to include clinics or medical facilities.

2.4.6 Food service: Each new building subject to the these Requirements shall accommodate the post-occupancy installation and service of a grease trap appropriate for a food service tenant (e.g., restaurant or cafeteria). Where required by project program, a planned food service space shall be provided with an appropriate sized kitchen hood and dishwasher exhaust pathway leading to a side-wall exhaust at a back-of-house or otherwise non-sensitive exterior area. A make-up air pathway shall lead to a sidewall intake louver with appropriate code-required separation. Grease waste with appropriate heat trace and circuiting should be provided to accommodate the future food service needs. Refer to plumbing design criteria, Section 5.6, for details.

2.4.7 Quiet room: Each typical office level shall have at least one quiet room, minimum 7 feet by 7 feet, with at least two electrical duplex receptacles with space for a small refrigerator, one data terminal, hand sink, occupancy-indication lockset, and a minimum 36-inch wide countertop (inclusive of sink space).

2.4.8 Third party tenants: New buildings subject to these Requirements may house non-State tenants in lease space for retail, food service, and other commercial enterprises serving Capitol Complex visitors and the general public. The anticipated third-party tenant(s) may or may not have been identified when the solicitation issues.

2.4.9 Storm shelter: The Capitol Complex is outside of the 250-mph wind zone per the 2015 IBC, and as such, a Storm Shelter (as defined by IBC) is not specifically required. It is recommended that consideration be given to identify a safe refuge area within the facility, such as a below grade parking structure, for use in an emergency.

Building occupancy type: The buildings subject to these Requirements will generally be classified as Type B - Business occupancy per IBC. Certain building functions as specified in the applicable solicitation may require a different classification for certain spaces, e.g. assembly spaces. Building program elements that increase occupant load above Type B shall be located for most efficient accommodation of concomitant life safety requirements such as increased egress width. Unless specifically noted otherwise in the solicitation, assembly spaces with a maximum occupancy of one hundred or more shall be located on the ground or second floor.

Type A – Assembly occupancy shall be applied to break rooms, conference rooms, huddle rooms or areas of congregation per NFPA 101. Stair and door exit width sizing should assume an additional 15 percent reserve capacity beyond applicable code.

Floor-to-floor height: The buildings subject to these Requirements shall be high-rise construction unless specifically noted in the applicable solicitation. Floor-to-floor heights will be thoroughly analyzed in Schematic Design, but the following is guidance for minimum typical, anticipated construction pursuant to these Requirements:

Ground Level to Second Level 20 feet (public lobby, office, training, auditorium, ground-level retail as applicable)

22 June 2021 Texas Facilities Commission OPR Version 1 Page 16 of 172

Second Level to Third Level 14 feet (office, training, shared conference) Third through Roof Levels 14 feet each (office)

General Project Site

2.7.1 Parking

2.7.1.1 Statutory parking regulations: The Texas Department of Public Safety (“DPS”) is generally responsible for enforcing the State Preservation Board’s parking rules for state-owned parking facilities within the Capitol Complex, including parking structures and surface parking lots. See generally, TEX. GOV’T CODE § 443. 013 et seq.; 13 TEX.

ADMIN. CODE §§ 111.34 et seq.

At the NAC, TFC and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (“HHSC”) are responsible for parking regulation; a third-party security service enforces parking rules for the NAC.

TFC has, pursuant to statute, implemented a program for leasing State-owned parking structures for private commercial use outside regular business hours, including Saturday and Sunday. Parking garages shall be designed to accommodate future access control to provide the ability for TFC or third-party parking contractors to manage the parking structure and collect fees from the general public for parking. In addition, the parking structure must accommodate State employee parking at no charge in designated areas during after-hours events. The parking structure design shall accommodate vertical pedestrian egress directly to exterior ground level outside regular business hours. Final parking structure design shall be coordinated with DPS.

2.7.1.2 Access: Access at garage entries for State employees shall allow for the potential installation of RFID-activated gate arm or a similar technology that provides rapid and efficient garage entry and exit and avoids vehicle stacking and delays. Turn-around spaces shall be provided in front of secure areas controlled by gates or armatures.

2.7.1.3 Safety: Speed hump/bump may be used for slowing cars in the vicinity of pedestrians or entrances to elevator vestibules and stairs. Potential hiding places below should be avoided in design or closed off from public use. If used for storage, such areas shall be secured with doors and locks. Exterior stairway doors and ground-level pedestrian exits may be egress-only; refer to the solicitation and other program documentations for additional information, especially with respect to a Texas CapCom MP building adjacent to a pedestrian plaza. Design best practice will provide for pedestrian entrances to concentrate pedestrians through fewer portals, improving the ability to see and be seen by others. At each parking garage level stairway landing in enclosed garages, designs should consider a fire-rated glazed opening or fire-alarm controlled hold-opens for doors for visibility into the stairwell from the parking level.

Refer to Section 5.13.19 and to IESNA standards regarding illuminance requirements for parking structures. In particular, light fixtures supporting security cameras shall have adequate CRI to ensure highest possible fidelity video recording. Entry ramps shall have graduated light levels to allow for drivers’ adjustment from ambient daylight levels to the darker garage.

2.7.1.4 Egress at Plazas: For buildings in the Texas CapCom MP that are adjacent to pedestrian plazas or other prominent pedestrian walkways or spaces, special consideration shall be given to aesthetics of parking garage pedestrian exits. Refer to the Texas CapCom MP for architectural guidelines to inform the appropriate level of finish and the overall appearance appropriate to each such pedestrian exits.

22 June 2021 Texas Facilities Commission OPR Version 1 Page 17 of 172

2.7.1.5 Carpool parking: Preferred parking spaces shall be provided for carpool vehicles. The minimum number of such spaces shall be 2 percent of the total number parking spaces.

Preferred spaces shall be permanently signed and located in select areas.

2.7.1.6 Bicycle parking: Each underground parking structure shall provide a bicycle parking cage as close as reasonably possible to the vehicular entry to the parking structure or as reasonably located within proximity to a building entrance. The minimum number of such spaces shall be 3 percent of the total number of full-time employees (“FTE”) expected to occupy the building(s).

2.7.1.7 Electric vehicle recharge stations: Preferred parking spaces with electric vehicle recharge stations shall be provided for electric vehicles. The minimum number of such spaces shall be 2 percent of the total number of parking spaces.

2.7.1.8 Clear height: Van-accessible ADA spaces shall meet minimum height requirements.

Typical parking spaces shall have clear height of 7’-2”. To the greatest extent possible, compact spaces shall not be used. All mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure including fire protection shall be routed in a neat orderly fashion.

2.7.1.9 Loading Dock: Off street loading bays shall be provided with appropriate truck maneuvering, turning radius, approach angle and use. Length, Width and number of loading bays to be determined based on programming.

2.7.1.10 Trash Removal: Off street loading for trash removal, compaction and collection shall be provided with appropriate truck maneuvering, turning radius, approach angle and use. Length and width shall be determined based on programming and with assistance from designated waste-hauling vendor. At least two bays shall be set aside for this permanent use.

2.7.2 Landscape: Site development and landscape architectural design shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following considerations: grading and drainage; relationships of exterior/interior functions; automatic irrigation system; exterior lighting and landscape illumination; plant material selections and locations; special outdoor amenities such as courtyards, sculpture, plazas, fountains, furnishings, etc.; pedestrian and vehicular circulation including walks, roads, parking, ramps, bicycle cages and racks, service lanes, etc.; and proper utilization of desirable existing features such as water, tree groupings, geological formations, maintenance, etc. Refer generally to TFC Architectural/Engineering Guidelines Appendix F relating to minimum requirements for landscape design and implementation.

2.7.2.1 Settlement: Accommodating settlement is an important consideration for new construction, especially in the Capitol Complex, where extensive excavation and backfill will create conditions making hardscape and landscape areas susceptible to displacement. Minor deflection of parking structure walls may displace a volume of soil at the garage perimeter. The design shall anticipate the likely volume of soil that will need to be added one year following completion of the garage.

2.7.2.2 Irrigation: Site irrigation shall use reclaimed water where practical. Reclaimed water use may include the use of the City of Austin reclaimed system if infrastructure exists to the site. The feasibility of re-using groundwater harvested at the parking structures shall be investigated. Site irrigation design shall use current best practices to the greatest extent to reduce consumption. Zoning and controls for the irrigation system(s) shall be coordinated with TFC landscape staff.

22 June 2021 Texas Facilities Commission OPR Version 1 Page 18 of 172

2.7.2.3 Species selection: Consistent with rules adopted pursuant to Texas Government Code section 2166.404, species selection for landscape plantings shall comply with xeriscaping requirements.

2.7.3 Hardscape

2.7.3.1 Settlement mitigation: As noted above, preference shall be accorded designs that proactively anticipate and include measures to mitigate settlement and soil displacement. The preference is for a ground-floor slab that hinges at strategically located flatwork joints rather than at the building perimeter or close to major building entries. The structural slab shall be extended in these critical areas. A perimeter secondary irrigation system may also be deployed to preserve desired soil compaction.

2.7.3.2 Albedo / reflectivity: Mitigation of heat island effect through the use of high-reflectivity and minimization of low-reflectivity materials is preferred.

Affirmation of meeting OPR and technical review comments

At the conclusion of the construction document design phase, the A/E team shall craft a statement in the form of a letter that affirms compliance with the OPR and the applicable Master Plan as appropriate and the incorporation of technical review comments from TFC and/or its authorized representatives. For those instances of non-compliance, the statement shall detail each instance and provide an explanation of the measure(s) taken by the A/E team to meet the intention of the requirement or of the rationale for non-compliance.

4 Economic Cost Parameters for Life Cycle Cost Analysis (“LCCA”)

4.1 Financial Criteria: At a minimum, the following financial criteria for the new construction service region shall set the basis for performing a Life Cycle Cost Analysis (“LCCA”) and subsequent business-based decisions in the selection of appropriate equipment and systems fit for buildings subject to these Requirements. Values listed are considered default if no other information is known.

Nominal Discount Rate 6 percent Years of Life Cycle Analysis 30 years Cost of Electricity Winter billing energy rate Summer billing energy rate Power supply adjustment rate Cost of Natural Gas First 500 Ccf 500-3,000 Ccf Amount in excess of 3,000 Ccf Cost of Water and Wastewater Inflation Rate 3 percent / year Maintenance Escalation 3 percent / year

4.2 Life Cycle Cost Analyses: The design team shall provide for three complete LCCAs during the schematic design phase. The LCCA is an essential design process for controlling the initial and future cost of building ownership. The Life Cycle Cost (“LCC”) is the total discounted dollar cost of owning, operating, maintaining, and disposing of a building or building system over a period of time. The LCCA is based on the premise that multiple building design options can meet programmatic needs and achieve acceptable performance, and that these options have differing initial costs, operating costs, maintenance costs, and LCCs. By comparing the LCCs across competing proposals, the LCCA can show the trade-offs between low initial first cost and long-term cost savings. Comparing LCCAs can identify the most cost-effective system for a given use and the payback period for the incremental cost.

4.2.1 LCCA comparative analyses: A LCCA relating to any equipment shall include maintenance costs for that equipment. Building system categories include but are not limited to:

4.2.1.1 Energy systems: equipment options (air cooled chillers vs. refrigerant-based direct expansion (“DX”) units); and alternative energy systems

4.2.1.2 Mechanical systems: air distribution systems (variable volume versus constant volume, overhead versus underfloor), and water distribution systems

4.2.1.3 Electrical systems: Indoor lighting sources and controls, outdoor lighting sources and controls, power distribution (transformers, busways, cable trays)

4.2.1.4 Building Envelope systems: skin and insulation options, roofing systems materials and insulation methods, glazing, daylight, and shading options; siting systems;

orientation, floor to floor height, and overall building height; and landscape, irrigation, and hardscape options

22 June 2021 Texas Facilities Commission OPR Version 1 Page 22 of 172

4.2.1.5 Structural Systems: systems and materials selection (steel versus concrete, cast-in-place versus precast)

LCCA Process

4.3.1 General: The LCCA process requires clearly identified design approaches and cost information: develop a LCC for each.

4.3.2 Objectives: The LCCA can capture dollar cost variations between alternatives and show which option has the overall lowest cost. An LCCA cannot evaluate the improved comfort or occupant satisfaction with different glazing materials; such non-quantifiable assessments may be addressed in narrative summary.

4.3.3 LCCA metrics: The LCC of each design approach and its payback over the study life are the two LCCA metrics. TFC will consider both total cost and the payback period, including the time value of money.

4.3.4 Cost information: Cost information for each identified design approach shall include but may not be limited to:

Initial costs: construction costs (labor, materials, equipment, etc.); and soft costs (design fees, permit fees, etc.).

Annual future costs: operating costs (utility costs such as electricity, gas, water, steam, chilled water, etc. and service costs such as custodial, etc.); and maintenance Costs (preventative and reactive).

Non-annual future costs: replacement costs (planned maintenance, renovation at a future date, etc.); and demolition costs (if required).

4.3.5 Perform life cycle cost analysis: Calculate the LCC and Payback metrics for proposed design approaches and articulate the rationale for the proposed design using the LCCA and other pertinent information. The narrative required by Texas Government Code section

2166.403 relating to the economic viability of alternative energy sources and energy efficient technologies may be referenced or included in the LCCA for consideration.

4.4 Process for Final Selection and Design Approval: The TFC Project Team will develop an appropriate framework of evaluation for each project. Factors may include aesthetics, land use, energy and water use, programmatic factors, materials and waste, indoor environmental quality and adaptability for future use.

5 Architectural and Engineering Criteria

Code, Regulations & Guidance

All buildings subject to these Requirements shall be designed and constructed pursuant to current applicable codes and regulations. In case of conflict between these Requirements and governing code or regulations, the relevant code or regulation shall govern. Generally, if any code, regulation, or guidance specifically cited in these Requirements has been superseded by a more recent version, the most recent version shall govern; however, if the authority having jurisdiction (“AHJ”) or the regulatory body expressly charged by statute with enforcement of a specific provision has specifically adopted an earlier version, that authority shall govern. In case of conflict between or among statutes, rules, or guidances, the most restrictive requirements of each of the following codes, regulations, and guidances shall govern.

The State Fire Marshal’s Office (“SFMO”) is the AHJ for enforcement of fire protection and fire alarm requirements.

The SFMO does not provide fire-fighting capabilities, and thus, TFC relies on local fire departments for emergency response and fire suppression. These local fire departments must have confidence that buildings and fire safety systems meet the state standards and are compatible with local equipment so that the fire departments can safely and promptly respond to an emergency. Per a memo issued by the SFMO on April 19, 2016, titled Cooperation with Local Jurisdictions and Fire Departments:

“TFC and state agency staff involved in safety, planning, operation and maintenance must be aware of the responsibilities they have for the compatibility and use of agency equipment by the local emergency responders. All third-party contractors, architects and engineers providing design and construction must ensure TFC and state agencies that the Life Safety Code and local requirements have been taken into consideration and addressed in the planning, design, construction and operation of all facilities.

Water mains, building access, fire lanes and turning radius requirements, compatibility of fire hydrants, fire department connections, fire sprinkler systems, standpipe and hose systems, alarm systems, and other emergency equipment must be designed with the operation by the local department in mind. Local fire departments should be invited to review the plans for and to participate in viewing acceptance tests of water mains and fire suppression systems.”

Every effort shall be made to design new buildings in accordance with local development codes and rules related to emergency response. Where utility extension to infrastructure within municipal or other local jurisdiction is necessary, new buildings shall comply with local development codes and rules to the extent required for that extension.
