SECTION 01011 - DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION.

1.1. General. This request for proposal (RFP) provides

for the design, specifications, and sustainment of several pavements throughout Davis-Monthan airfields. Work will include but is not limited to, demo/milling and repaving of asphalt roadway pavements, restriping pavement markings, placing ceramic traffic dots, removing concrete curbing, installing concrete curbing, raising utility valve covers (with concrete encasement), landscaping (decorative rock & planting), light pole removal and realignment and various street sign removal.

1.2. Location. The project site is located on the

Airfield Restricted Area, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (Tucson), Arizona.

1.2.1. Site Layout. The site will be located off Craycroft

Road and east of intersection at Comanchi and terminate at Davenport. All project documents and drawings will reflect this cardinal direction for the sake of uniformity and clarification.

1.3. Project Programming. Government programming requirements, classification of work, project approval levels, and funding appropriation have defined the requirement for execution of this project. The Contractor shall work the project as a whole. The Contractor shall maintain documentation to include, but not limited to, progress reports, requests for payment, change orders, modifications, and any other contractual (cost) documents for each project’s scope of the total project. All design and engineering costs shall be incorporated into this project.

1.4. Codes, Standards, and References.

1.4.1. The Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Design Compatibility Guidelines (DCG) are incorporated by reference into the project specifications. All provisions of the DCG shall be complied with unless specifically deleted by the project documents.

1.4.2. Equipment, materials, assemblies, spare parts, meters, monitors, controls, and any other articles of construction that are required to communicate with, connect to, operate with, or supplement existing base systems shall be 100% compatible in installation, configuration (including software), maintenance, repair, and operation or the item will not be considered equal and will be disapproved by the Government.

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 table on the following page.

The number of days shown are the Government’s estimated completion schedule. Should the contractor desire to perform the contract design and construction work in a different, more truncated, schedule, the contractor’s quote shall include this proposal and documentation to support the change. The Government will evaluate contractor proposed days based on the best interest of the project execution and the Governments 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 NO MORE THAN 30 calendar days, excluding the 5 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 100% completion of the design package.
