5 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

5.1 General Summary

This project includes the designs and construction/erection of a turn-key, pre-engineered metal building as shown on the conceptual drawings.

The primary operation is contained in a basic pre-engineered, insulated metal building with approximately 6,000 square foot area (60’ x 100’) with an eave height of approximately 12 feet and a sealed concrete floor. The exterior of the buildings may be R-panels.

Offeror’s are required to develop drawings and specifications for the construction of this building and the development of the site base on this Statement of Work.

5.2 Design Goals

The overall architectural design goal for the facility is to provide a functional, safe, visually appealing building for the training of military working dogs that will provide a source of pride for facility users, and

JBSA.

The conceptual building drawings present a building design scheme which considers the requirements provided by the Government. This does not preclude the Offeror from making improvements to the design so long as such improvements are consistent with the requirements of the SOW and acceptable to the Government. The building designs are conceptual; the Offeror shall finalize all elements of the design, including exact dimensions. In completing the design, the Offeror will be allowed some latitude in manipulating the plans to improve functional layout, to accommodate structural, mechanical, electrical and other systems, and to allow flexibility for design/aesthetic expression. The spatial relationships and adjacencies must be maintained, unless the Offeror recommends changes to the Government and the Government approves such changes.

5.3 Site Planning Objectives

The conceptual drawings indicate location of building on site and site improvements. Those improvements currently outlined in this SOW include work on various building systems and their utilities.

This does not preclude the Offeror from making improvements to the site design so long as such

10 Aug 2015 Design/Build Statement of Work (SOW) Page 15 of 68 improvements are consistent with the requirements of this SOW and the Base Master plan, and are acceptable to the Government. The site improvements are conceptual; the Offeror shall finalize all elements of the design, including exact dimensions. In completing the design, the Offeror will be allowed some latitude in manipulating the site design to improve functional layout, and to allow flexibility for design/esthetic expression. However, any proposed changes are subject to approval by the Government.

5.4 Exterior Design Objectives

The Offeror shall provide a project design with exterior elevations that achieve architectural compatibility using the currently developed elevations which have been approved by the government. The correct combination of materials, textures, color, roof forms, detailing, and building system shall be used for this project to achieve a structure compatible with the architecture of Lackland AFB in accordance with the Lackland AFB Compatibility Guide included in the Appendices.

The work outlined in the drawings provided in the Appendices shall be considered the minimum in terms of exterior architectural elements required for this project. Further detailing of the building envelope is necessary and may require incorporation of additional architectural elements to fully achieve the above stated objectives. The Designer of Record shall coordinate the necessity of adding such elements with the Offeror during the proposal stage.

5.5 Interior Design Objectives
