Group C and Group D have differing privacy and space requirements and are addressed in dedicated subsections beginning at 4.3.2.
4.3.1 North Site — General Office (Group A / Group B)
The North Site houses 110 personnel from two related organizational elements, Group A and Group B, within a single physical structure. The two groups are logically separated; no interior physical security separation is required. See 4.3.1.4.
The foundation footprint is 150 ft x 80 ft, giving 12,000 SF gross. At 110 personnel, this is approximately 109 SF/person — within the 130 SF/person maximum but above the Owner's 90–100 SF/person target band. This variance has been reviewed and accepted by the Owner.
4.3.1.1 Seat count
Count Notes
Private offices 22 110 SF each; perimeter siting per 4.3.1.3
Open workstations 88 6' x 6' stations
Total seats 110 Reconciles to the stated occupancy with no shortfall
4.3.1.2 Space program
Space Qty Area (SF) Notes
Private offices 22 2,420 110 SF each (11 ft deep x 10 ft wide)
Open workstation floor 88 stations 3,650 6' x 6' stations plus local aisles
Conference room 1 300 AV-ready; see 4.7 Active AV electronics are not included in the Contractor’s scope.
Consultation room 1 150 Enclosed room for sensitive conversations
Break room 1 600 Sink, casework, appliance rough-ins and circuits. The stated area is a planning allowance. The reduced break room shown in the TMD-selected layout is accepted.
Restrooms 2 sets 700 Fixture count per code for 110 occupants; min. one accessible
Reception 1 200 Staffed transaction counter; see 4.3.1.5
Comms / IT room 1 150 Dedicated cooling, dedicated circuits, keyed access
Records storage (Group A and Group B)
2 200 Lockable; personnel records and PII
Copy / print alcoves 2 120 Dedicated circuits; ventilation as required
Lactation / pump room 1 80 Shielded from view, lockable, not a restroom. See 4.3.1.6.
Janitorial / storage 1 150 Mop sink if required by code
Mechanical / electrical closets 2 100
Circulation, walls, and structure — 2,850 Corridors, partition and exterior wall thickness
11,670 Total, leaving approximately 330 SF unallocated
Unallocated area — The program above leaves approximately 330 SF unallocated within the office bands.
Adopting the 17 ft office band (see the Mate-line coordination note in 4.3.1.3) absorbs approximately 300 SF of this, leaving a small remainder. Disposition of any residual unallocated area — enclosed phone rooms, additional private offices, or an enlarged conference/break room — is at the Respondent's discretion. The TMD-selected North Site layout included in SOW Appendix E, Addendum 2, Attachment B, shall serve as the basis of design.
4.3.1.3 Layout and module coordination
• Private offices shall be sited along the two 150 ft exterior walls, in bands one module deep. Each band comprises an 11 ft deep office zone and a 5 ft corridor.
• The two long walls accommodate up to 30 office positions. Twenty-two are required; the balance provides expansion capacity and shall not be finished out unless directed.
• The building core, approximately 48 ft x 150 ft, houses the open workstation floor, break room, conference room, restrooms, and comms/IT room.
• Respondents shall submit Following award, the Contractor shall submit a module layout drawing with the floor plan overlaid, showing all mate lines and their relationship to the office bands, the corridor walls, and every full-height partition.
• Restrooms shall be sited in the NE corner of the footprint, adjacent to the water and sanitary sewer service described in Section 1.2. The split of fixtures between the North wall and the East wall within that corner is at the Contractor’s discretion.
• The main building entrance shall be sited approximately at the center of the East wall; minor shifts left or right to suit module packaging are acceptable, since the interior program is logically divided into two sections and exact symmetry is not required.
• Emergency and secondary exits shall be provided on the North, South, and West walls as required by code-driven egress calculations. No exit shall be sited at the SW corner per Section 3.3.
Mate-line coordination — A 150 ft x 80 ft footprint divides cleanly into fifteen 50 ft x 16 ft modules — five across and three along — producing four longitudinal mate lines and two transverse. A 16 ft office band places the corridor wall directly on a longitudinal mate line, which is the least favorable location for a full-height partition. Respondents shall set the office band at approximately 17 ft so the corridor wall sits inboard of the seam; a tested mate-line closure at 16 ft is not required.
4.3.1.4 Interior Security
• The North Site is a single access zone with no interior access control, no interior security devices, and no interior security rough-in required or included.
• Security controls are provided at exterior doors only. The Contractor shall furnish exterior doors prepared to receive cipher locks — including any required cutouts, reinforcement, and strike preparation — but shall NOT furnish or install the cipher locks or any other security device. TMD facilities personnel furnish and install devices.
• The Contractor shall coordinate door preparation requirements with the Owner prior to finalizing doors.
4.3.1.5 Visitors
• The North Site is not configured to accommodate routine visitors. Reception is a staffed transaction counter rather than a waiting room.
• Occasional visitors shall nonetheless be provided with an ADA-compliant accessible route from accessible parking to reception, and access to an accessible restroom, without traversing the open workstation floor.
4.3.1.6 Lactation room
• Provide a dedicated lactation room that is not a restroom, shielded from view, free from intrusion, and lockable from the inside.
• Provide a duplex receptacle, task lighting, a work surface, seating space, and a sink or documented access to a nearby sink.
• Respondents shall demonstrate in the mandatory pre-bid Space-Fit/Configuration Layout required by Section 1.3 that the 22 private offices, 88 workstations, and the balance of the required program fit within the 150-foot by 80-foot North Site foundation footprint. The North Site shall provide 22 private offices, 88 open workstations, and the remaining required program in accordance with the TMD-selected layout included in SOW Appendix E, Addendum 2, Attachment B.
4.3.2 South Site — Group D, Group C, IT Support, and General Admin
The South Site houses 55 personnel across four groups with differing privacy requirements: Group C, Group D, an IT support element, and general administrative personnel. The Group D and Group C areas are subject to the acoustic and privacy requirements in Section 4.4.
Group Personnel Private offices

Space Qty Notes
Group D interview room 1 Acoustically rated per 4.4; sized for 2 persons
Shared conference room 1 300 SF planning allowance; the reduced conference room shown in the TMD-selected layout is accepted; sited between the Group D and Group C suites; serves the Group C meeting requirement; AV-ready active AV electronics are not included in the Contractor’s scope; non-privileged use, see 4.4.2
Secure file/records storage 2 One per suite; lockable, accessible only from within that suite
Space Qty Notes
Reception/waiting 1–2 See 4.4.4 — no line of sight between the Group D and Group C waiting areas. Waiting areas and privacy screens shall be provided as shown in the TMD-selected layout.
Suite entry 2 See 4.4.4 — separate entries, or separate access-controlled doors off a shared vestibule. Provide the suite entrances shown in the TMD-selected layout. TMD will furnish, install, and maintain the access-control hardware.
Server / IT room 1 Dedicated cooling, dedicated circuits, keyed access
Restrooms 2 sets Fixture count per code for 55 occupants, split one set per suite (Group C / Group D); min. one accessible
Break room/kitchenette 1 Sink, casework, appliance rough-ins and circuits
Storage / janitorial 1 Mop sink if required by code
Area planning note: The resulting South Site program is approximately 7,200 SF, or approximately 131 SF/person. TMD accepts this minor variance from the 130 SF/person planning guideline as necessary to accommodate the required program. Group D at 9 offices for 9 personnel is a mission-driven requirement and is fixed; IT support and general administrative personnel are seated entirely in open plan to hold the program within this variance. The South Site headcount remains at 55.
Reductions already adopted in the area model:
• The shared conference room serves the Group C meeting requirement. No dedicated Group C meeting room is provided. The room is sited between the Group D and Group C suites, where it also acts as an acoustic buffer between them.
• Private offices are sized at 100 SF rather than 120 SF.
• Open workstations are 6' x 6'.
• The South Site entry arrangement shall comply with Configuration A or Configuration B described in Section 4.4.4. Respondents shall identify the proposed configuration in their mandatory Space- Fit/Configuration Layout. TMD will establish the final configuration by addendum. The South Site entry arrangement shall comply with the TMD-selected layout included in SOW Appendix E, Addendum 2, Attachment B.
Respondents shall demonstrate in the mandatory pre-bid Space-Fit/Configuration Layout required by Section 1.3 that the required office and workstation counts, the Group C and Group D suites and their required separation, and the balance of the program fit within the available South Site footprint. The South Site shall provide the required office and workstation counts, Group C and Group D suites and separation, and remaining required program in accordance with the TMD-selected layout included in SOW Appendix E, Addendum 2, Attachment B.

4.4 Acoustic Privacy and Separation
Scope boundary — The Group D and Group C areas require speech privacy sufficient for PRIVILEGED conversations. This work is NOT classified. No SCIF, ICD 705, TEMPEST, RF shielding, or accredited secure space is required or authorized under this SOW. Respondents shall not price to those standards.
4.4.1 North Site — Full-Height Partitions
The North Site does not require a rated acoustic assembly package. It does require that partitions be built full height, which is the single largest determinant of speech privacy in modular construction and is inexpensive to provide at the time of fit-out.
• All private office partitions, and the partitions enclosing the conference room and consultation room, shall be constructed continuously from the floor structure to the roof structure.
