1.5. Design and Construction Schedule. The Contractor shall provide as part of their proposal a preliminary design and construction completion schedule for the Government’s review and approval. As a minimum, the proposed schedule shall incorporate the required milestone events as shown in the Required Milestones/Submittals table on the following page. The number of days shown address an approximate number of calendar days and are only suggested for the Contractor’s use. The Contractor shall clearly note any deviations to the suggested days as it relates to the benefit of the proposed project. The Government will evaluate Contractor-proposed calendar days based on the best interests of the project execution and the Government’s requirements. However, the intent of all Davis-Monthan AFB Design-Build projects is to progress from Notice-To-Proceed (NTP) to construction completion and beneficial occupancy in 380 calendar days, excluding the 31 days shown for project closeout and completion. All days listed below are calendar days and include all Contractor actions such as design, construction, travel, mobilization, drawing and construction material submittal periods, etc. Contractor shall submit an AF Form 66, Schedule of Material Submittals; and prepare material submittals and cutsheets to be submitted with the 65% design submittal in order to allow the Government to review/approve major construction materials and, with the Government’s approval, order construction material after being given the construction NTP. Contractor shall be given the construction NTP, at the Contracting Officer’s discretion, at the time of the 65% design approval to begin mobilization, site work, and demolition concurrently with the completion of the remainder of the design package. IMPORTANT NOTE: Demo of Building 4101 shall not begin until 30 days after beneficial occupancy of Building 4455.

2.8.5. If tests are necessary, the specifications shall define the required criteria, number and type of tests to be made, and licensing or certifying requirements of the testing agency. All necessary testing shall be included in the contract specifications and shall be specified as being performed by and paid for by the construction Contractor.

2.9. Construction Cost Estimate.

2.9.1. The AF Form 3052, Construction Cost Estimate, shall cover all materials, labor, equipment, and direct costs required for construction of the project as designed, six months after design completion. The Air Force may furnish the designer with a sample cost estimate template.

2.9.2. For completed construction cost estimates, mark ―FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY‖ and the page number at the bottom of each estimate page.

2.9.3. On the first page, provide the summary information, date and signature as required by the template which may be furnished.

2.9.4. The Air Force discourages the use of contingency factors. Prepare the Construction Cost Estimate in sufficient detail to provide accurate figures.

2.9.5. If the Construction Cost Estimate exceeds the Air Force’s estimated construction cost in this RFP, the designer shall, without additional fee:

Reduce estimated project costs by identifying less costly materials, techniques, or design features. The project design must still provide a fully complete and usable facility.

Provide a list of additive bid items, the inclusion of which would bring the project back up to the original project funding limitation. The basic project design must still provide a fully complete and usable facility in the event that any or all of the additive bid items are not included in the project.

Cost estimates for additive bid options, if any, must be identified as such and compiled separately from, but in the same format as, the Construction Cost Estimate.

2.9.6. If a complete and usable facility cannot be provided within the project funding limitation, notify the base

Project Manager through the Design Manager in writing immediately. The Air Force shall either arrange additional funds, reduce the scope, or cancel the project.

If additional funds are arranged or if the project scope is reduced, the base Project Manager will notify the designer in writing through the Design Manager. The Air Force will not renegotiate the designer's contract unless a major change in scope is necessary.

If the project is canceled, the base Project Manager will notify the designer in writing through the Design

Manager. The Air Force will pay the designer for all services provided on the project prior to receipt of such notification.

2.9.7. For this project, the Contractor shall separately identify categories of work including but not limited to new construction and demolition. The Contractor shall prepare the Construction Cost Estimate to enable each category of work to be bid separately. See Section 1.6.1. [

2.10. Schedule of Material Submittals.

Government’s approval. The Air Force may furnish the designer with a sample schedule of material submittals template, at the Contractor’s request, for the Contractor’s use. The Schedule of Material Submittals must identify all items required to be submitted by the construction Contractor for Air Force review and approval prior to installation. Submittals may include but shall not be limited to certificates of compliance, shop drawings, samples, color selections, or other items called for in the contract specifications.

2.10.2 The Schedule of Material Submittals shall be created using the latest latest version of MS Excel. Identify each sheet with the project number and title.

6. STRUCTURAL DESIGN.

6.1. Design Loads. Design loads shall be included in the structural notes on the contract drawings.

6.1.1. Dead Loads. The structural system shall be designed and constructed to safely support all dead loads, permanent or temporary, including but not limited to, self-weight, partitions, insulation, ceiling, floor covering, and all equipment that is fixed in position. Load factors for designs shall be based on the applicable material design standard (e.g., reference ACI-318 for concrete, AISC-M018L and AISC-M019L for structural steel, etc.).

6.1.2. Vertical Live Loads. Roofs, including components and cladding, shall be designed to support live loads, snow loads, including drifting snow, sliding snow, and rain on snow, and support wind loads. Other required criteria is as follows. Basic Wind Speed = 90 mph. Ground Snow Load = 10 psf. Minimum Roof Live Load = 20 psf.

6.1.2.1. If the design roof snow loading is less than 20 psf, a minimum roof live loading for construction and maintenance of 20 psf shall be used for design of the structure. This roof live loading is in lieu of and not in addition to the snow loading. However, unbalanced snow loads, sliding and drifting snow (in particular areas), or wind loads may be the controlling load case for particular elements. Reduction of roof live loads will not be permitted.

6.1.3. Horizontal Loads (Acting Inward and Outward). The structural system wind design, including components and cladding, and the seismic design shall be designed in accordance with the IBC 2006 based on the following required design criteria.

6.3.1.3. Ultimate Strength of Structural Elements. An adequate level of protection against structural failure under extreme loads shall be provided. The Designer shall check the usual loading conditions for normal factors of safety and the extreme loading conditions, if present, for appropriate (unusual) factors of safety to provide levels of protection appropriate for the conditions.

6.4. Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection Precautions. Antiterrorism precautions shall be taken into consideration for this project in accordance with the structural requirements of the current edition of Unified Facilities Criteria
