Part 4 Minimum Materials, Engineering and Construction Requirements

1.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The requirements indicated here are minimum performance requirements. More specific project functional and performance requirements, scope items and expected quality levels over and above the standards in Part 4 are identified in Part 3 of the Request for Proposal or Basic Ordering Agreement. The Contractor is encouraged to exceed the minimum requirements. The Contractor's performance evaluation will be based in part on enhancements to materials, engineering, design and construction provided for the contract that exceed minimum requirements.

Part 4 is a general section. Not all items in Part 4 will be required for this project. See Part 3 for project-specific requirements. See "Contract and Order of Precedence" paragraph in Part 2 for relationships between all parts of the RFP.

In general, unless otherwise indicated, provide all labor, equipment and materials necessary to complete the work required for the contract. All work must be in conformance with all applicable referenced criteria, construction standards, laws and regulations, including applicable building fire and life safety codes.

Recycled Materials Considerations:

An Affirmative Procurement Program has been established within the Federal government to promote the purchase of products containing recovered materials. This program promotes the purchase of products containing materials recovered from the solid waste stream. The intent is to conserve resources and reduce solid waste by developing markets for recycled products and encouraging manufacturers to produce quality recycled content products. Use products that meet or exceed the EPA guideline standards for recovered content as required by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). Availability lists of manufacturers and EPA research on product usage are on the Construction Criteria Base (CCB) at www.wbdg.org/ccb/ccb.php under Documents Library, NAVFAC Criteria. A partial list of products containing recycled materials for possible use is as follows:

• Rock Wool Insulation

• Fiberglass Insulation

• Cellulose Insulation

• Structural Fiberboard and Laminated Paperboard

• Cement and Concrete - Coal Fly Ash

• Carpet including backings and cushions

• Floor Tiles

• Reprocessed and Consolidated Latex Paint

• Crushed Concrete Aggregate for new asphalt, concrete or subgrade http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/ccb.php

REQUIREMENTS - Page 2

1.1 MATERIALS AND METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION

Only new materials and equipment are to be installed in the work. All materials, equipment and appliances must be of the current manufacturers' products. Do not use obsolete or discontinued materials, equipment and appliances, except that construction materials containing recycled content as described in Paragraph 1 of this Part that completely comply with all materials specifications found elsewhere in this Part may be used.

1.2 APPLICABLE CODES AND STANDARDS

The design and construction must be in accordance with established construction practices, and the latest revision/edition of the following referenced codes and standards. The term "Latest Revision/Edition" is defined as the version as of the project award date. References are available at www.wbdg.org/ndbm/ . The advisory provisions of all codes and standards is mandatory, as though the word "must" had been substituted for "should" wherever it appears. Reference to the "authority having jurisdiction" is to be construed to mean "Contracting Officer". Comply with the required and advisory portions of the current edition of the standard at the time of contract award.

All work must comply with UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements, and IBC 2009 or later edition as modified by applicable NFPA Standard as well as codes and standards listed in RFP Part 2.

1.3 LOCATION-SPECIFIC CODES AND STANDARDS

See Part 3.

1.4 DISCREPANCIES

When discrepancies in the referenced standards and the contract requirements occur, the more stringent requirements govern. The word "should" in all NFPA publications is to be interpreted as a requirement. The Authority Having Jurisdiction in the interpretation of the codes and standards, and approving the exceptions allowed in the referenced standards, is the Contracting Officer, and the parties designated by the Contracting Officer.
