Q&A DATED 01 SEPT 2016

29 August 2016

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

FA4418-16-R-0022 ADD/REPAIR (DESIGN/BUILD) ASLAC BUILDING 450, JOINT BASE CHARLESTON

1. What will be the number of construction management personnel required for this project and can some of the personnel perform dual functions?

Answer: A dedicated Superintendent is required and a Quality Control Manager (QCM) and Site Safety and Health

Officer (SSHO) are also required. The Superintendent cannot perform any other duties, but the QCM and SSHO can be one “dual-hatted” individual.

2. Reference SOW page 7-B2020 Exterior Windows. This states to e provide and install aluminum louvers with insect screening on all windows. Page 30-E2010-Fixed Furnishings- Window Treatments states to provide fixed windows and other glazed openings to the exterior of the building shall be provided with Venetian blinds. Will blinds be necessary if the exterior windows are to have exterior louvers per B2020?

Answer: The scope does not require windows within exterior walls. Currently no windows exist and it was the intent of sky lighting to bring natural light to interior areas. Windows that are specified in the SOW are those for the main entrance and storefront entry. However, if contractor designs include windows, the scope required that they have louvers and insect screens. Blinds are not required. They were included under section E2010 when discussing interior designs and the SID. The SID is a construction submittal where contractor ideas for interior furnishings will be provided and will include a list of collateral equipment that may be purchased by the Government. Venetian blinds may be shown within the SID as an option for the Government to buy as collateral equipment at a later time.

3. Will commissioning be required for MEP systems?

Answer: Commissioning will be required for MEP systems. This will include any and all required testing and certification for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems.

4. Are all the controls to be Johnson Controls?

Answer: Metasys Extended Architecture 7.x, developed by Johnson Controls, is the current ASLAC building energy management program that performs as a utility monitoring and control system (UMCS). It has received the certificate of networthiness by Army Cyber Command and thus is the current approved control system for ASLAC facilities. Controllers locally at the facility and for each controlled piece of equipment require only that they are

BACnet compatible and will properly communicate with the front end Metasys system.

5. Are there any as-built drawings that could be provided?

Answer: These have been provided.

6. Can a site plan be provided?

mailto:robert.melton.6@us.af.mil

Answer: This has been provided.

7. Per the RFP the deadline for questions is Monday, 15 August 2016 at 3:00 PM EST. Can the deadline for questions be extended to August 22, 2016?

Answer: Question submission deadline was extended to 29AUG16 at 1500.

8. Has a water flow test been completed and is it water pressure adequate for the fire protection system?

Answer: A flow test was completed.

1. The fire flow demand for building 450:

a. Occupancy Hazard classification = 3 (at time of report)

b. Sprinkled = N

c. Required hose stream = 1500 GPM

d. Fire Hydrants within 350 ft = 116, 117, 121, 132.

e. Actual flow rates = 9863 GPM

f. Available flow = 5000

g. Entire perimeter protected = Yes

h. Adequately Served = Yes

However it will be part of the contractor’s design to provide analysis, calculations, and verification that all requirements as per scope and respective regulations are adhered to. The contractor is responsible for designs and if needed, should perform any tests required.

9. Will an additional Asbestos Survey be required to be provided by the general contractor?

Answer: Yes

10. Are any as-built drawings available? The schematic plan initially provided has conflicting scales. In order to properly provide any relevant conceptual design, we need an existing scaled floor plan, roof plan, site plan and elevations at a minimum.

11. Has an initial concept or layout already been developed?

Answer: Yes and has been provided.

12. Will Design Builder be responsible for structural assessment or will Government provide? If the building does not meet seismic requirements, there will be a cost impact.

Answer: All current codes must be adhered to. It is assumed that work as required will exceed 50% of current building value.

13. Can the inventory of the existing cubicles be provided? If they are planning to reuse the existing as stated, we need as much info as possible.

Answer: An inventory can be provided. However, the initial concept plan shows the open office spaces that will house existing cubicles. We will adjust cubicles based on room sizes and available space.

14. How are the existing partitions constructed? The majority seem like reinforced concrete as stated but no other information is given.

Answer: The initial concept plan has been provided, “B450 Future Interior Office Locations”. Within this design, required fixed offices with constructed wall division have been identified per each area. For example, Room 105 will have three permanent offices constructed for 1. General Manager, 2. Special projects Officer 1, 3. Special

Projects Officer 2. An area for he command secretary and a small meeting room must also be designed within this area. All other space remains open. No cubicles. In Room 103 and 102 there is an existing wall. If determined to be load bearing, the wall may be partially or completely opened. In these two areas, a total of five permanent offices will be constructed along the outer walls. The interior space will be open and will allow for existing cubicles to be installed. Most of the existing wall partitions will remain other than as identified on the above mentioned concept plan. Most are of concrete masonry units.

The as-built drawings as provided show additional information of wall construction.

15. What is the exterior envelope construction? The scope is requiring additional vapor retarders, but it also just states that “exterior repairs” are only considered in the scope. How would additional vapor retarders be installed if the existing exterior surface is just being repaired and repainted?

Answer: The scope requires all exterior surfaces to be cleaned, patched, sealed and repaired as required prior to final painting. It only states that vapor retarders will be installed as needed based on an approved final design. Intent is to control the wetting of the facility from both the exterior and interior. Moisture has already accumulated on internal surfaces due to the current rate of moisture (liquid or vapor forms) entering the facility and exceeding the rate of moisture removal. This is contributed to many things i.e. Roof damage, no HVAC system, proper sealing of the facility. Renovation designs must implement methods to minimize the risk of moisture damage. Strategies may be by controlling moisture entry, controlling of moisture accumulation, removal of moisture.

B20 EXTERIOR ENCLOSURE

Design will include methods for making the facility watertight. Waterproofing and sealing as well as exterior repairs and upgrades protecting the facility from water intrusion will be completed. The contractor will incorporate in designs methods for preventing mold and mildew on internal wall surfaces due to poor exterior protective barriers.

Design will include drainage system to funnel water away from the facility and its foundation. All exterior surfaces to be cleaned, patched, sealed, and repaired as required prior to final painting. Design will include requirements for cleaning and priming surfaces with a minimum of two layers of final paint color. Paint color will be chosen by

ASLAC and will match surrounding facilities.

B2010 EXTERIOR WALLS

Insulation and Vapor Retarder

Provide additional insulation and vapor barriers as needed.

16. The IECC is stated to be enforced with “additional insulation” as needed. Will the existing walls be required to conform to the IECC R-value requirements?

Answer: No additional insulation is required unless considered within overall designs and as to assist in heating and cooling loads.

17. Is the scope limited to utilizing the existing exterior openings with replacement storefront, or are we to assume new openings are expected to increase natural light as requested?

Answer: Scope intent is to use the existing opening where currently a roll-up door exists as the main entrance and close with a glass storefront approach. This will increase lighting in this main section along with the installation of skylights in this area as per skylight concept plan provided. If the contractor’s design increases this opening to accommodate the glass storefront better, this is acceptable.

18. Are the existing skylights being replaced or is a new framed opening required for new skylight(s)? If a new opening is required, a framing plan or diagram would be needed to place it properly with the new floor plan and coordinate accordingly.

Answer: No existing skylights. New skylights with framed openings will be installed. A design of this curbing, sizes, dimensions, and placement has been provided.

19. Are invert elevations available if any plumbing needs to be relocated or added?

Answer: As-built drawings show current plumbing of the facility.

20. Two new showers are requested in the “toilet area.” Which area is this? There are four restrooms shown in the distributed plan.

Answer: Toilet locations will be part of the design and as approved. The concept plan provided shows the area where bathroom/showers along with a janitorial sink may be constructed. This location was chosen only because it is known that existing plumbing arrives to this area and based on design can easily be extended to accommodate larger facilities. Contractor’s designs may alter this as required for an improved floorplan and renovated facility.

This plan also shows the two smaller restrooms, rooms 111 and 115 approximately 64 sf. These bathroom facilities may remain as is or altered as per contractor’s final design. There is no requirement that they remain as is. The other restrooms, rooms 107 and 109 can be modified and expanded as required to achieve the larger restroom facilities with showers as per scope requirements.

21. Are any of the existing openings/frames salvageable, or do we need to consider all being replaced?

Answer: Existing openings and frames within the facility will need minor repairs. Where existing interior doors will be removed, repairs will be required for a smooth, clean surface. The facility is more than 50 years old so some deterioration has occurred. Where design shows new openings, they must be structurally sound and properly finished.

22. Lighting “repair and upgrades” is mentioned under the project scope, but section D5020 seems to contradict this. Are we to assume a completely new lighting package will be designed and installed to meet the specified requirements?

Answer: Section D5020 is the scope requirements.

23. If existing electrical is to be utilized with new lighting, branch circuit diagrams will not be conducted until after award and will have a cost impact. As-built drawings would obviously help with this.

Answer: As-built have been provided. It was determined during the site visit that all new electrical will be provided due to the age and concerns of certifying the existing system.

24. Does the existing site layout provide two accessible means of egress?

Answer: It shows more than two. There are currently a total of six.

25. Are the existing double doors shown in the existing layout 6’-0” doors?

Answer: As built drawings show double door placement and dimensions.

26. Will the skylights be required to be FEBR?

Answer: No. They will however be low profile Hurricane Impact Rated curb mount (LPGS-HU) skylights.

Performance requirements will be:

A. General: Provide Sageglass or equivalent IGU glazed skylights capable of withstanding loads as defined.

B. Units shall be tested to and achieve a design pressure of +/- 80psf.

C. Units shall provide no water penetration per ASTM E 331 when tested at 15.04 psf.

D. Florida Product Approved for use in Windborne Debris Regions / Impact Rated.

E. Tested to E1886 and E1996 for Large Missile, Level D, Wind Zone 4.

“Attachment 3 IGU Spec 08 88 00” Provides all information regarding skylight and installation requirements.

27. Assuming the roof is constructed of roof deck and bar joist will the bar joist remain in place at the skylight locations?

Answer: Contractor’s roof designs will account for structural support of the curb mounted skylights. Placement of these skylights shall be such that no bar joists run under the skylights and structural integrity of the roof remains.

28. Reference Amendment No. 3 – 3.a. This states that Solicitation Attachment 3 Revised 18 Aug. 2016:

Section 08630 replaces Section 08625 File B450 attachment 3 Rev 20160818. PDF. Was this issued with

Amendment NO 3? Did not see it in the amendment.

Answer: Reference fbo.gov Amendment No. 3 - 3.a. This states that Solicitation Attachment 3 Revised 18 Aug.

2016: Section 08630 replaces Section 08625 File B450 attachment 3 Rev 20160818. PDF.

29. Will the proposal due date be changed due to the recently provided information supplied by Amendment

No. 3?

Answer: The proposal due date and time was revised to 13 Sept at 1500 Eastern Standard Time. A formal amendment to the Solicitation will include this revised due date when these answers are posted.

30. Reference the Solicitation E2010 Fixed Furnishings Page 30 of 42. Will the general contractor be responsible to include any labor and material for the Furnishings, Fixtures and Equipment?

Answer: No. Only for creation of the final design.

31. How many occupants are intended to use the Main Conference Room? The space designated for it in the conceptual plan is about 32’-0” x 36’-0” (over 1,150 square feet), which could be an excessively large conference room depending on the anticipated use. Can any of the space designated be captured for additional program requirement?

Answer: All of this space will be used for the conference room as specified.

32. Are any of the existing doors for the Main Conference Room intended to be utilized for secondary exterior access?

Answer: Existing exterior access will remain as required for emergency egress. There currently are two exterior access points within this area. Both are not required by the customer unless fire evacuation plans determine that they are. As long as one egress remains, one egress can be removed and opening sealed.

33. The space designated for the Secondary Conference Room is about 19’-0” x 27’-0” (513 square feet), which could be considered a large conference room. Since this is secondary, can this size be reduced?

Answer: Yes if space is required for other areas.

34. Is there a possibility of having one large conference room with a moveable partition to create two when necessary?

Answer: No

35. Is the “Command Secretary” listed on the conceptual plan the same as the “Reception Desk” listed in the program?

Answer: The command secretary will require her own office space. This space may be behind a reception desk as long as this person will have privacy as required. The intent is to create a main entrance with vestibule allowing separation from the command suite that is also in this same area. This vestibule does not need to be very large.

Should accommodate four people in waiting.

36. How many occupants should the Break Area be designed to accommodate?

Answer: Half of the occupants in the facility.

37. How many occupants should the waiting area at reception be designed to accommodate?

Answer: Four.

38. Should there be controlled access from the waiting area to the rest of the facility?

Answer: Yes. Controlled by way of the hallways locking of doors and vestibule. There is no requirement for badge verification.

39. If the waiting area is controlled, should there be designated restroom(s) to serve those occupants?

40. Two showers are requested. Should there be one each in the Men’s and Women’s Restroom?

Answer: Yes

41. The size and configuration of the existing cubicles is critical if there is a possibility of them being able to be reused. Please provide.

Answer: Please see document “358 Space Utilization 01-2016 Floorplan”. This document shows the current configuration of our operations department. All of these individuals will move into building 450 and make up the offices as shown on the concept plan. Other individuals are coming from building 318 but they currently have their own offices. The only cubicles we have available to move into B450 are the ones shown in this document. They can be broken down and moved. Each cubicle includes an overhead desk light, multiple electrical outlets and communication jacks. We will have to accommodate for these within our design in order to provide electrical and communication to each cubicle.

42. What is the minimum or acceptable sizes allowed of the planned cubicles? Are some required to be larger than others? The location of existing primary, load-bearing walls are restrictive, and 80 sf per cubicle max with the necessary circulation and other program requirements may not be possible.

Answer: See question 41.

43. What size should the Small Conference Rooms be?

Answer: As designed and within space availability.

44. The program requested 6 to 10 team meeting rooms, but only 3 are shown on the conceptual floor plan.

Please clarify.

Answer: The conceptual floor plan was only “conceptual”. There is plenty available space to allow for requirements as specified in the SOW. The intent of this project is to arrive at an acceptable final design and then complete the renovation. There are many ways to redesign the interior of this facility. The conceptual plan was to identify the critical elements and to verify where demolition will be required. It was also to confirm the number of interior walls that will need to be built for the required office spaces. Additional walls should be accounted for if required to provide the other rooms as per contract scope. With available space, we have one large conference room/secure VTC, one secondary conference room, and three as shown on the conceptual plan. This is acceptable and the scope can be modified.

45. Are the programmed square footages intended to be net or gross?

Answer: SF information provided within the SOW are gross. But square foot dimensions as specified within required regulations and specifications will be as noted in the respective documents.

46. What type of mechanical equipment they would like us to use. The current system is a 4-pipe chiller/boiler combination. Does the base want the same system or do they prefer DX or gas equipment?

Answer: Section D3010 provides HVAC system requirements. The existing system was designed and installed in a different era, for a different mission. This facility will now be used as a HQs Administration facility. The HVAC system shall be designed to provide each zone with the choice of heating or cooling year round, controlled locally and via the building controls system. Each zone shall have its own limited range of control as allowed by the control system central workstation. The facility must have multiple zones for heating and cooling demands.

47. Will someone be available at the main gate on bid day to accept hand delivered proposals? If so, should we call and notify of our arrival, or call in advance with our anticipated arrival time?

Answer: Yes. Please notify Robert R. Melton (robert.melton.6@us.af.mil) and cc Mr. Sandy Ford

(useba.ford@us.af.mil) in advance to ensure awareness of intent to hand deliver. Proposals are due no later than 13

Sept, 16 at 1500 EST. Be advised that late deliveries may not be considered for award (In accordance with solicitation provision 52.215-1(c)(3)).

48. What are the allowable working hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? Can we work from daylight to dark, or only within certain hours?

Answer: ASLAC operational hours are from 06:30 – 17:00 Monday through Thursday. There is the possibility to remain until 18:00 on a case by case basis.

49. Will any consideration be given to working on Fridays if the need to accelerate the schedule should arise?

If so, would the contractor be required to cover any additional cost for guards/escorts?

Answer: Yes as required and only if ASLAC will be working on these days. Currently this is almost every Friday.

But this cannot be guaranteed. No additional guards or escorts required. But required safety officers and site managers will need to be present.

50. Is there any government furnished equipment to be contractor installed? IE: demountable partitions coming from existing offices

Answer: Equipment as required within the scope will be installed by the contractor. Cubicles will be installed by the government but the contractor is responsible within design and renovation to allow for proper installation of cubicles and electrical/communication hookups.

51. The skylight is estimated at 12 x 24. Can this be more definitive, so as to ensure that we are all pricing based on the same guidelines?

Answer: The estimated dimensions are not 12 X 24. This has been modified after the site visit and a skylight plan along with “B450 Attachment 3 Rev 20160818” has been provided. Low profile hurricane impact rated curb mount skylights, with use of Sageglass or equivalent IGU (Insulated Glass Units) will be constructed within the renovated roof. Two unit types have been chosen:

1. Type A: 4’-0” X 4’-0” outside curb dimension

2. Type B: 4’-0” X 4’-9” outside curb dimension.

3. Pitch required = Minimum 3/12

4. Mount on prefabricated 14 ga. Galvanized steel curbs with reinforced bulkheads at 10” o.c. to meet large missile impact requirement. Provide Engineering calculations on curbs showing they meet the design intent. Proper pitch to be built into the curbs as required by the skylight manufacturer.

52. How many exterior windows are to be incorporated into the design? If no quantity is specified, how will the government know if one proposal contains 4 and another proposal only 1? Obviously, this could greatly affect the cost.

Answer: With the use of skylights, exterior windows are not required.

53. Can the government confirm that the gate we came through on the bus for the site visit will be the common access for employees driving POVs, as long as they have proper badges?

Answer: Yes. There is also designated parking for employees across from building 450 where the bus parked during the day of the site visit.

54. What is the process for equipment and material delivery to the truck gate? Does the driver have to be badged, announced in advance, etc.

Answer: Contractors will adhere to JB Charleston physical security/pass and badge procedures.

55. Is a geotechnical report available?

56. Will the owner accept any risks associated with liquefaction induced settlement or will deep foundations be required?

Answer: no step cracks or evidence of foundation issues exist. Given the age of the building, the real property facility owners have assumed it has settled by now.

57. Are there any mission critical components that will be part of this facility; i.e., would this be considered an essential facility?

Answer: This facility is considered an essential facility. It will become the command headquarters.

58. What is the anticipated shower count and breakdown between male and female?

Answer: One shower for male facilities and one shower for female facilities.

59. By code this renovation requires 4 toilet fixtures. How do you anticipate the breakdown between male and female? Do you prefer one urinal?

Answer: Based on approved design.

60. What is the desired locker type (double or single tier)?

Answer: Based on design. Double tier is acceptable. There is not a requirement that they must be single tier.

61. Are the anticipated lockers to be standard or oversized?

Answer: Standard

62. How many lockers are preferred?

Answer: As per approved design and available space. The ideal design would be to provide one locker per occupant. This may not be possible.

63. What is the locker count breakdown between male and female?

Answer: As per design

64. In order to meet guidelines, will the access road be closed off or do we plan to harden the building structurally?

Answer: There is no requirement to harden the facility.

65. What is the type/thickness of the original roof deck?

Answer: As-built designs have been provided.

66. Is the skylight information to be sole sourced?

Answer: The skylight information has been provided based on extensive research by the government on skylight material and construction. After researching many different design approaches and vendors, the Government has found SageGlass IGU and the installation of curb mounted systems by Wasco Skylights will meet the requirement.

It is not required that the IGUs are from SageGlass, nor the curb mounted installation be by Wasco Skylights;

however, any other proposed system must be equal to or exceed the units above.

67. Design is affected by access road and parking. Will controlled parking be anticipated?

Answer: Parking and access roads will be adjusted based on approved final design. Parking will not be controlled but certain parking spots will be designated for specific occupants.

68. How many windows are anticipated?

Answer: No windows are anticipated. Based on contractor’s final design. The use of curb mounted skylights has been incorporated into the scope in order to bring natural light into the facility without having to open existing wall surfaces to install windows. However, windows may be a part of contractor’s design. There is no requirement for, nor against windows.

69. What is the window preference size?
