PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The 911 Federal Building (911FB), constructed in 1953, is an eight-story, steel-framed structure with 312,447 gross square feet of space. The basement level has one level of underground parking with (83) spaces. The 911FB is connected to, and shared infrastructure with, the neighboring Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Federal Building, and together they are known as the Eastside Federal Complex. While the facility was constructed in 1953, it has been determined not to be eligible for consideration or listing on the National Historic Register.

The 911FB is a multi-tenant facility, housing Offices, Departments, Agencies and activities/functions including, but not limited to:

US Congress (House District and Senate Offices) US Department of Agriculture (USDA) US Department of Energy (DOE) US Department of the Interior (DOI) US Department of Labor (DOL) US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) General Services Administration (GSA) Joint-use child-care facility Joint-use auditorium & other meeting spaces

The proposed project is being acquired as a Design-Build (DB) project. The seismic and non-seismic structural upgrades must meet current codes and standards, further ensuring the facility’s operational status for decades to come. Related to the structural systems’ upgrades, the facility, particularly where impacted by the limited scope structural upgrades portion of the project, must be updated to ABAAS (Architectural Barriers Act [ABA] Accessibility Standards) compliance in accordance with GSA policies and directives relative to Capital-funded Repair and Alteration (R&A) projects. The NOAA TI Space Build-out project renovates a significant portion of the 2ND floor’s overall space to meet the Department of Commerce’s NOAA Fisheries Western Region headquarters’ requirements, in an initiative to relocate the Fisheries’ Regional office and functions from a nearby leased location into the Federal Building. The Project’s Goals and Objectives, along with General Scope, are elaborated further herein.

PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Structural Systems & ABAAS Upgrades and NOAA TI Space Build-out (POR-0033-PO17) DB Project The overall goal is to utilize a highly collaborative Design-Build Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach for this project (Structural Systems & ABAAS Upgrades and NOAA TI Space Build-out [POR-0033-PO17]). Accordingly, the DB Contractor, referred to herein as the DB-SN (DB Structural-NOAA) Contractor, must work closely with all the stakeholders to deliver a project that: meets the expectations and needs of all stakeholders; avoids any and all disruptions to the tenants’ ongoing operations and well-being; and satisfies GSA’s requirements for a high performing building and tenant spaces.

The DB-SN must provide a fully functional design and construction effort to upgrade the structural – seismic and non-seismic structural systems (e.g. architectural; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, data & communications; fire & life safety; conveyance; etc.) – throughout the facility, while maintaining the fully occupied and operational status to tenants (occupants) during normal business hours in support of normal business and facility operations. This is of critical importance given the expectation that the project occur within a fully occupied and functional Federal Office Building.

Care must be exercised when considering construction phasing and any potential project impact(s) to the means of egress and egress pathways from occupied space to the building exits. At no time during the project must there be less than (2) means of egress from any space to building exits. Space access, and means of egress & egress pathways must be maintained throughout the project that satisfy ABAAS and GSA Fire, Life, Safety code requirements.

Furthermore, in accordance with GSA policy and directives governing Capital-funded projects, the facility, where impacted by a Capital-funded project, must be upgraded to and come into compliance with ABAAS requirements to the maximum extent possible. The scope for this element is somewhat dependent upon the Contractor’s proposed design and ultimately constructed work relative to the structural systems’ upgrades portion of the overall project. However, it is GSA’s current expectation that, for this particular overall project, this scope would generally include, but not necessarily be limited to: maintaining/upgrading any access/egress accessibility elements for the facility; and upgrading the restrooms throughout the facility, both in order to maintain/increase the facility’s ABAAS accessibility aspects.

The DB-SN must provide a fully functional design and construction effort to build-out the 2ND floor spaces identified for NOAA Fisheries Western Region’s use, prior to their existing lease expiration at a nearby leased location. In an effort to minimize potential negative impact (from expected structural systems’ upgrades) and to maintain operations for a member of the US House of Representative’s office space that is currently located on the 2ND floor, an additional project requirement is to build-out space for the Congressman’s functions in currently vacant space on the 2ND floor’s east side. Relocating the Congressional office space from its existing location (2ND floor mid-floorplate) to the 2ND floor east side, prior to upgrading their existing space for seismic & non-seismic structural compliance, will minimize downtime and negative impact to their functionality from the seismic upgrade construction that is currently envisioned to occur in/near their existing space. The integrated design and construction phasing of these (2) offices are critical to the successful completion of this overall project.

The design goals for this project are to phase design and construction efforts necessary to maintain full continuity of tenant operations while upgrading the seismic and non-seismic structural components and systems of the facility, and provide updated, compliant ABAAS systems and functions for the facility. The new system(s) must, to the maximum extent possible (given overall project scope), limit or minimize impacts to tenants, their operations and building/systems outages and downtime.

The DB-SN Contractor must work with GSA and the larger Project Delivery Team to ensure that the project:

· Complies with all project requirements, including (but not limited to) GSA PBS P-100 standards (Baseline, unless noted otherwise)

· Substantial Completion Date for the NOAA TI Space Build-out no later than 15-Oct-2022, in order for NOAA to vacate their existing space before existing lease expiration

· Upgrades the facility’s seismic and non-seismic structural systems

· Minimizes impact to tenants and public users

· Maintains an adequate, code compliant number and proper configuration of access and egress pathways throughout the facility, including within tenant spaces, during and after construction

· Maintains/upgrades the facility features impacted by project work to be ABAAS compliant NOAA TI Space Build-out Substantial Completion Critical Deadline Milestone (15-Oct-2022) The NOAA TI Space Build-out project’s Substantial Completion Date (SCD) is established as No-Later-Than (NLT) 15-Oct-2022, in order to permit NOAA’s subsequent full occupancy of their newly renovated/constructed space, and to vacate their existing leased location, prior to their existing lease expiration date. This SCD date for NOAA’s TI Space Build-out is a critical driving factor for the DB-SN project’s schedule. In order to facilitate NOAA Fisheries’ move and occupancy into the 911 FB, their 2ND floor space, as well as the surrounding floors and all ingress and egress pathways in/out of the building to/from their space, must be seismically upgraded and safe for occupancy.

Project’s Development Effort, Approval and Funding History In 2017, GSA received approval and initial funding for the (2) inter-related projects (Structural Systems & ABAAS Upgrades, and the NOAA TI Space Build-out). In preparation for executing these projects, a Project Development & Feasibility Study (PDS) Building Seismic Upgrade & Modernization was prepared in 2018 by URS/AECOM for the Structural Systems & ABAAS Upgrades portion of the project. Concurrently, and in coordination with, the 2018 Structural & ABAAS Systems PDS, URS/AECOM also prepared (2018) the NOAA POR for NOAA’s Space Build-out portion of the overall Capital-funded project. These (2) combined documents form the general basis for this project’s overall scope and intent.

For the Contractor’s awareness, it is noted here that URS/AECOM prepared (2013) and then updated (2018) a PDS for a separate GSA Capital-funded project (Electrical System Upgrade; refer to Paragraph 1.1.2) that will occur within the 911 FB concurrently (under a separate DB contract) with the 911 Structural Systems & ABASS Upgrades and NOAA TI Space Build-out project (i.e. this project). GSA received approval and funding for the separate Electrical System Upgrade project in 2018, while GSA and URS/AECOM were developing the PDS and POR for the Structural & ABAAS Upgrades and NOAA TI Space Build-out project. The Structural & ABAAS Upgrades and NOAA TI Space Build-out project’s PDS contract was modified in 2018 to have URS/AECOM evaluate the potential to incorporate ALL 911 FB capital-funded projects into one consolidated acquisition effort (an overall DB acquisition and contract that would cover all 911 FB capital-funded work). Hence, the Structural & ABAAS Upgrades and NOAA TI Space Build-out project’s PDS was finalized in 2018 with this acquisition strategy in mind. However, since the PDS’ Final Submittal was finalized, GSA has made the strategic business decision to separate, or de-couple, the Electrical DB’s scope from this project’s (Structural & ABAAS and NOAA) scope.

Project’s Final PDS Deliverable (2018) and DB-SN Contractor’s Design and Construction Effort with respect to Structural/Seismic Systems Upgrades While the PDS’ Final Submittal (Submittal 4; dated October 26, 2018 [Rev 1]) includes a solution that is identified as the “Preferred Concept”, it actually represents, from GSA’s perspective, one possible acceptable solution – a solution which satisfies the overall performance criteria within the approved funding limitations. GSA acknowledges, however, that the preferred concept, as detailed in the PDS, presents several challenges to the project team, as well as limitations and possible short- and long-term impacts to tenants, particularly, but not necessarily limited to:

· Tenant/Customer space impacts

· The size, configuration & location of proposed reinforced shotcrete walls limits/prohibits tenants’ continuous use of significant portions of their space(s) during the construction phase

· Once seismic/structural upgrades are complete, non-insignificant portions of their space(s) will be rendered unusable (long-term) post-construction, presenting possible furniture/office layout challenges which then require possible space reconfigurations

· Noise/dust/construction debris, etc. impacts from ongoing construction within tenant space(s)

· Access and security concerns while accessing tenant spaces during and after normal working hours

GSA expects there are other potential alternatives (including, but not limited to, possible internal, external and/or an internal/external combination solutions) which could provide fully compliant solutions within the approved funding limitations. In other words, GSA does not consider the PDS’ Final Submittal as a bridging document that offerors (or ultimately the successful/awarded DB-SN contractor) should necessarily consider or construe as a bridging document or starting point for their proposed concept(s) and/or design effort. Accordingly, GSA’s expectation and desire for this DB contract effort is that offerors for the DB-SN contract propose, and then, if awarded, the successful DB-SN Contractor ultimately designs and constructs an innovative solution which:

1) Satisfies the Performance Criteria and Objectives as detailed in the PDS Final Submittal and the Contract within available funding approval limits; and

2) Provides the most efficient and least impactful – from both the tenant/occupant and general public [users of the facility] perspectives – solution for the Criteria and Objectives

The above does not necessarily limit, nor imply, that the DB-SN Contractor MUST continue with development of the preferred concept from the PDS’ Final Submittal. Nor does it imply that they are precluded from implementing the preferred concept.

Project’s General Scope Based on the URS/AECOM Structural & ABAAS Systems PDS and NOAA POR (2018) documents, the subject project scope includes the following (note that all scope requires full Design & Construction effort):

· Facility’s structural seismic deficiencies, as well as non-structural component anchorage; based on the objectives contained in the PDS Final Report (2018) VOL 1 (TECH) Part 3 SEISMIC & Part 5 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

· Facility’s ability to withstand progressive collapse; based on the objectives contained in the PDS Final Report (2018) VOL 1 (TECH) Part 4 PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE& Part 5 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

· In accordance with the PDS Final Report (2018) VOL 1 (TECH) deliverable, Contractor must also upgrade the following ancillary systems/components/building aspects:

· Ancillary Architectural

· Ancillary Mechanical, Electrical (excludes work already being completed/upgraded under the separate Electrical System Upgrade Contractor’s scope/contract), Plumbing, and Data & Communications

· Ancillary Fire & Life Safety

· Conveyance Systems

· Tenant Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment, etc. impacts

· Contractor must coordinate with tenants, through the GSA Project Team, and execute all work associated with the disconnection, removal, relocation, reinstallation, reconnection, etc., of all tenant furniture, fixtures, equipment, space finishes, etc., impacted by the Contractor’s design and construction efforts as necessary to perform said design and construction efforts.

· Contractor is responsible for inspection, testing and commissioning of any relocated, reconnected and/or reinstalled tenant furniture, fixtures, equipment, etc., impacted by the Contractor’s work.

· Contractor is responsible for temporary provisions for any furniture, fixtures, equipment, etc., that might be disconnected and/or relocated as a result of the Contractor’s work.

· Building system(s), component(s), equipment, hardware, etc. impacts

· Contractor must disconnect, relocate and reconnect any system(s), component(s), equipment, hardware, etc. that would be impacted by the Contractor’s design and construction efforts as necessary to perform said design and construction efforts.

· Contractor is responsible for inspection, testing and commissioning of any relocated and reconnected system(s), component(s), equipment, hardware, etc. impacted by the Contractor’s work.

· Contractor is responsible for temporary provisions for any system(s), component(s), equipment, hardware, etc. that might be disconnected and/or relocated as a result of the Contractor’s work. For example, this includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:

· If Contractor’s work impacts a fire/life/safety system(s), component, etc. such as the fire alarm control system (e.g. the fire alarm control system, or components thereof, need(s) to be secured/shut-off and/or relocated before, during or after a particular work sequence, construction element, etc.), the Contractor is responsible for providing a fire watch for the duration of the impact.

· If Contractor’s work impacts a building system or component, for example a piece of electrical equipment, the Contractor must provide temporary power and connection for that equipment’s load(s) prior to disconnecting and/or relocating said equipment.

Cooperation with the Electrical System Upgrade (POR-0033-PO18) DB Project The DB-SN Contractor must be aware of and to the maximum extent possible cooperate with a separate GSA Region 10 capital construction DB contract (i.e. Electrical System Upgrade [POR-0033-PO18]) that is being solicited, acquired, designed and constructed essentially concurrent with the subject Structural Systems Upgrade & NOAA TI Build-Out (i.e. DB-SN) project. GSA expects to award a separate DB contract to a contractor, referred to herein as the DB-E Contractor, who will be responsible for the design and construction of electrical system upgrades throughout the entire 911 FB facility, from the basement up through all tenant floors all the way to the upper penthouse/roof area.

GSA’s expectation is that both DB contracts (DB-SN, i.e. this contract, and the separate DB-E contract) will both be awarded approximately in the summer-fall 2020 timeframe. The resultant contracts’ design & construction periods will also, for the most part, be somewhat concurrent. While the DB-SN Contractor’s contractual responsibility is to satisfy this SOW and contract, the DB-SN Contractor must be fully aware and cognizant of the DB-E Contractor’s scope of work, particularly as it (Electrical System Upgrade) potentially impacts the interaction of the DB-SN Contractor’s work and scope.

Towards this end, the DB-SN offerors will be provided, as a reference document, access to GSA’s Project Development Study (PDS), and possibly contract relevant information (e.g. Statement of Work, etc.), documentation related to the separate DB-E project so that the DB-SN offerors are aware, prior to DB-SN proposal and award, of the potential for work in the same/limited/adjacent space/areas under both DB contracts. GSA will likewise be providing DB-E potential offerors with the PDS documentation related to the subject DB-SN project, to ensure full transparency to the DB-E offerors prior to their contract’s award.

GSA fully expects that both resultant DB contractors (DB-SN and DB-E) must, to the maximum extent possible, cooperate with each other, and must not deliberately negatively impact the other’s schedule and/or cost. It is GSA’s expectation that in order for either Contractor to be fully successful in satisfying their respective contract’s requirements, that they cooperate with and not unduly hinder the other DB contractor.

To ensure concurrent planning and integration of both projects’ schedules, in order to maximize the efficiencies of both contractors, minimizing their cost and, most critically, minimize the impact to the building’s operations and tenants, both DB contractors must attend regularly scheduled integrated planning & scheduling sessions for both projects. These integrated planning & scheduling sessions are not intended or envisioned to negatively impact each DB contractor. Rather, GSA envisions that these joint project sessions are critical to the overall success of each DB project and the overall 911 FB Capital Construction/Upgrade Program (i.e. the DB-SN and DB-E projects, collectively).

To further enhance and ensure the required cross-project collaboration effort, GSA has contracted, under separate acquisition, for Construction Management Agent (CMA) and Commissioning Authority (CxA) services. GSA’s CMA-CxA contractor for this effort (URS/AECOM; referred to herein as CMA) will assist GSA’s overall efforts, providing a single coordinated and oversight effort on both DB contracts – the DB-SN (this project) and the DB-E (separate project) contracts.

PROJECT DELIVERY APPROACH

GSA envisions a highly collaborative design-build delivery approach for this project. The expectation is that the DB-SN Contractor and their team must work in close consultation and collaboration with GSA, GSA’s CMA, all project tenants and stakeholders (internal and external) to deliver a project that meets the expectations and needs of all stakeholders and GSA’s requirements. As stated above, this also includes the other (DB-E) contractor.

During the Design Phase, the DB-SN team must work in close consultation with GSA, the stakeholders (including, but certainly not limited to NOAA Fisheries), GSA’s furniture designer (a separate/external contractor) and NOAA’s furniture manufacturer/supplier/installer (another separate/external contractor, to be acquired by GSA on NOAA’s behalf), and the CMA to ensure that all of the goals are addressed. This close consultation and integrated approach will then extend into the Construction, Commissioning and Close-out project phases.

To help develop, foster and maintain the highly collaborative and integrated project delivery approach throughout the project’s entire lifecycle, Contractor must host and attend Partnering sessions as detailed in the Division 01 specifications.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The Contractor must perform all services described in this Scope of Services (including services required under exercised options, if any), in accordance with applicable requirements and provisions set forth in the General Requirements section above.

DESIGN STAGE

Overview As a general matter, the GSA PBS P-100, the OPR, the Statement of Work, the PDS Study, the NOAA POR, and the Specifications represent the overarching documents that govern the Contractor’s performance of work. In addition, other policies and procedures (e.g., the P-120, GSA BCG, etc.) provide detailed procedures and requirements that the Contractor must follow.

The Contractor’s design services must comply with the P-100 and the OPR, which provides the performance criteria and requirements for the project including, but not limited to: size, function, finishes, equipment, security, resilience, adaptability, servicing, P-100 tier and other performance characteristics. The OPR includes requirements that are specific to the project and in addition to the P-100.

The purpose of this section is to primarily set forth requirements that the Contractor must follow in performing work during the Design Stage phase of the project that are in addition to, or supplement, the services identified elsewhere in the Contract Documents, including the Division 01 Specifications. For example, other Division 01 Specifications address subjects such as project management, closeout, schedules, and payment. Accordingly, the Contractor should review this section in conjunction with the P-100, Division 01 Specifications, the OPR, and other listed design requirements.

The GSA-prepared Division 01 Specifications are being issued as part of the Request for Proposals in order to assist the potential Offerors with pricing the requirement. Part of the successful offeror’s services includes finalizing the Division 01 specifications as part of the Design Development & Construction Documents phases.

As supplemented or qualified by this section, the Contractor must follow the guidelines, procedures, and requirements for design deliverables that are set forth in the P-100. This section provides additional guidance to the Contractor regarding the design services at different phases during the overall project.

General Provisions Design Submission Expectations The Contractor must prepare and submit all Design Stage submissions in accordance with PBS P-100 design document submission requirements as they pertain to the scope of the construction work.

Furthermore, the Contractor must, for each Design Stage submittal, provide a detailed written report that separately lists all design elements that deviate from, are inconsistent with, or in any way conflict or otherwise seek to modify the Contract Documents, including but not limited to the OPR, Performance Criteria, and/or P-100. The report must identify: (1) the design element; (2) how that design element is inconsistent with the Contract Documents; (3) the cost or price to the Government; (3) schedule impact; (4) the benefit of the change; and (5) how the benefit outweighs the cost. The report must also include a thorough Life Cycle Cost Analysis that complies with the P-120. Any such elements must not be incorporated or included in the design unless written approval is provided by the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor must, in any applicable Design Stage submittal, make full written disclosure to, and obtain approval of, the Contracting Officer prior to incorporating any proprietary features, products, or elements into the Contract Documents.

The Contractor and their design team must also coordinate design efforts and submittal packages with GSA’s other/separate, but inter-dependent, space project contractors, i.e. NOAA’s and Congressional Office’s furniture designer and furniture supplier(s), to ensure fully coordinated space build-out DD and CD stage packages/submissions.

Design Submission Reviews The Contractor must allow for twenty-one (21) calendar days for the Government’s review for each Design Stage submittal. The Contractor must, for each Design Stage submittal, reconcile all Government review comments, and provide GSA with written responses to all comments.

Performance Criteria Expectations If a requirement contained in the Performance Criteria exceeds that required by the P-100, the Contractor must comply with the most stringent requirement unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor’s work may exceed requirements contained in the Performance Criteria to accomplish programmatic and functional goals for the project, including but not limited to energy performance, sustainability, or industry best practices. However, that being stated, the Contractor is still responsible for complying with other portions of the contract, including FAR 52.236-22 (Design within Funding Limitations).

General Design Meeting Expectations The Contractor must anticipate, plan for, and price various meetings, reviews, partnering sessions, and similar discussions throughout the duration of the project. While it is not possible to describe the entire universe of any such meetings, the Contractor should anticipate that the meetings will be commensurate with a PBS-owned capital design and construction project of similar size, scope, and complexity as the one described in the Contract Documents.

The following represents a non-exhaustive list of some of the various reviews and partnering sessions that are necessary during the Design Stage phase:

· Design Intent Drawing (DID) workshops for space build-out projects

· Integrated Design Review(s) (IDR): IDR reviews are conducted with GSA Central Office Subject Matter Experts (SME) and other technical experts, prior to submission of any Design Stage phase submission.

· Construction Excellence Peer Review(s): Peer reviews, involving the Contractor, GSA Regional and Central Office staff, and external professional private peers may be conducted during the construction phase of the project. These reviews typically last approximately two days and include a series of interviews. The peers may suggest process improvements that are consistent with the project objectives and program.

· Operational Excellence Review(s): The Contactor must submit a narrative with each design submission explaining how the design meets the principles identified in the GSA Design Guide for Operational Excellence (OE). Each narrative shall identify the building materials, systems and components to a level of detail commensurate with the design submission. The design choices must be supported by a life cycle cost analysis and the narrative must describe why they are perceived as the most optimal solution to the project’s requirements. The narrative mush explain the logic behind the design selections as they relate to the OE principles and whole building life cycle costs of ownership. Each principle of the OE should be addressed for the major building systems impacted by the project. The narrative of each design submission may be based on the previous submission; however, it must be revised and expanded at each stage to reflect the current design state.

· Risk Management Review(s): The Contractor must participate (in person) at workshops with GSA, CMA, CxA, and other stakeholders to create, update, or modify a Risk Registry using the Construction Industry Institute’s Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) (or a different industry standard as agreed to by the Contracting Officer) to assess risks and opportunities for the project. The PDRI session will typically occur at the completion of design.

· Partnering Sessions: Refer to Specification Section 013100 – Project Management and Coordination.

· Regular Design Phase Progress Meetings: In addition to any other meetings required elsewhere by the Contract Documents or in this specification, the Contractor must participate in an at least two design progress meetings per month with GSA.

Design Stage Commissioning To support Design Stage Commissioning, the Contractor must, at each Design Stage phase, review and comment on Commissioning Plan updates defining roles and responsibilities for the Project Delivery Team in managing the commissioning process. Contractor must participate in Design Stage commissioning coordination meetings with the Project Delivery Team.

Contractor’s review and comments apply to, but are not necessarily limited to, the Commissioning Record, Commissioning Specifications, Testing and Inspection Plans and OPR Updates.

Design Development (DD) Phase Contractor must commence work on the DD Phase upon receipt of a Notice to Proceed (NTP) from the Contracting Officer.

Program Review Workshop Contractor must conduct a program review workshop prior to the start of DD.

Integrated Design Review (IDR) Meeting Contractor must conduct an IDR meeting prior to DD submission.

Construction Work Sequence Planning In coordination with GSA and the tenant agencies, Contractor must develop, maintain and update a construction work sequence plan addressing:

· Construction phasing approach to ensure minimal impact on tenant population, and to maintain facility functionality, access and egress during the entire project.

· Use of any fast tracking or multiple construction document packages to achieve best value for the Government.

· Schedules for award of subcontract construction packages, including procurement cycles, submittal approvals, construction delivery, and testing/commissioning.

· Possible labor and/or material shortages.

· Ordering of long-lead delivery materials.

Concept/DID (30% Design) Submission / Over-the-Shoulder DID Workshops Contractor must provide a Concept/DID submission in accordance with the submission requirements listed in P-100, GSA’s DID Review Guide (Level 1 DIDs required) and the following additional requirements. The submission must be, in part, the result of separate Over-the-Shoulder Reviews / DID Workshops, which will include applicable representatives from NOAA and Congressional staffs in separate DID workshops, in order to present the DID submission and to facilitate appropriate review and input from the end users (NOAA and Congressional staffers) on their respective proposed spaces on the 2ND floor.

Contractor must provide a draft construction specification, including Division 01 General Requirements, and must include DB Contractor self-performed work and subcontracts, emphasizing project phasing, preliminary project-specific construction management issues and other relevant information for a GSA DID Level 1 submission. Specifications must be prepared following the latest Master Format specifications version and must include updated Division 01 sections, all developed to a level commensurate with a Concept/DID (30%) Submission/Review. Coordinate Division 01 requirements with GSA.

DD (60% Design) Submission Contractor must provide a DD submission in accordance with the submission requirements listed in P-100 and the following additional requirements.

Contractor must provide a draft construction specification, including Division 01 General Requirements, and must include DB Contractor self-performed work and subcontracts, emphasizing project phasing, subcontractor requirements and preliminary project-specific construction management issues. Specifications must be prepared following the latest Master Format specifications version and must include updated Division 01 sections, all developed to a level commensurate with DD Submission. Coordinate Division 01 requirements with GSA.

Construction Documents (CD) Phase The main purpose of the CD Phase is to finalize the construction documents in order to obtain approval from the Contracting Officer to proceed to the Construction Stage. Contractor must commence work on the CD Phase work upon receipt of NTP from the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor must obtain input, review and comments on the CDs from all federal, state and local authorities, companies and personnel who may…
