7. MEETINGS AND DESIGN SUBMITTALS

1. GENERAL

1.1 End Product: The requirements within this section establish the design efforts of the successful Contractor, following Design Notice to Proceed. The design shall provide a final useable product that conforms to the descriptions in Sections 01005 and 01020.

1.2 Preaward Submittals: The following shall be submitted during the bidding and must be approved before award.

1.2.1. Cost Proposal. The cost proposal shall include a breakout in the format detailed in other paragraphs and sections. The subcontract proposals must also be in sufficient detail to show the actual items and quantities anticipated.

1.2.2. Schedule Approval. The schedule requirements are detailed in paragraph 7. Also refer to schedule requirements detailed in Sections 01005 (paragraph 3.01), 01300, and 01503.

1.2.3. Design Firm and Team Approval:

A. Submit for approval the names of the lead and subcontracted design firms, along with the names of the individuals who will be the leads for each discipline. Include resumes for the firms and the individuals named.

B. The Government encourages the contractor to use firms already under contract to 778 CES/CEPD and CEPG under open-end IDIQ contracts, since they know Robins AFB and have a vested interest in a successful long-term relationship with the base. The Office of the Civil Engineer will provide names and contact information for these firms upon request. Other firms and their subcontractors for parts of the design on this contract may be acceptable, but the Government reserves the right to disapprove any lead design firm and any of its subcontractors due to personal past experience of current Government personnel in 778 CES.

C. The Government strongly encourages the Contractor to have the design team leaders visit the project site during preparation of the cost proposal, to ensure critical design questions are handled before award.

D. After the firms and individuals are approved, the design team may not be changed without subsequent revised request and reapproval. The Government reserves the right to disapprove all such changes at its discretion.

1.2.4. No design (and thus no subsequent construction) shall commence until the Government has reaffirmed both the schedule and design firm team at the kickoff meeting after award.

1.3. Delays caused by the Contractor in completion of the design phases are not a valid cause for extending the completion date for the entire project.

2. SCOPE OF SERVICES

2.1. General: The Architect-Engineer (AE) employed by the Contractor shall perform all the services and furnish all materials required for the production and subsequent delivery to the Contracting Officer of field investigations, surveys, design calculations, drawings, specifications, cost estimates, and electronic files as stated in these Specifications.

2.2. Design Objectives

2.2.1. In general, the requirements presented are design objectives. The Architect-Engineer is encouraged to suggest changes where they would not seriously deviate from the overall requirements and would result in (1) improved performance or (2) greater environmental sustainability in arriving at the results. Read and follow Air Force standards such as Engineering Technical Letters, applicable chapters of Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-600-1 on fire protection, UFC 4-010-01 on antiterrorism standards, and applicable sections of the RAFB Base Facility Standard.

2.2.2. Project Specifications:

A. Preparation of Specifications:

1. The designer shall use only the master specification sections maintained by 778 CES/CEPD to prepare and submit a complete specification package for this contract. Contact the Base Project Manager after Notice to Proceed (NTP) to obtain a CD or e-mail containing all of the base master specifications.

2. The Government has provided with the contract package an index of specifications for Divs. 2-16 for this contract. Shown are all sections anticipated for the design.

3. Division 1: The Government has edited certain Division 1 sections, and they are included in the contract.

a. To edit one of the Division 1 Sections already in the contract, such as Environmental Section, 01560, submit the request in a separate letter/e-mail directly to the Base Project Manager. Either spell out the requested change, or provide a complete edited Section that shows tracked changes. The Base Project Manager will then reply to the Contractor with approval/disapproval details on the proposed edits. Include the revised Section in the Specifications package. Also include the Base Project Manager's reply in the Design Analysis.

b. Include other available Division 1 Sections when practical, edited as needed. Ensure that they do not conflict with the Sections already in the contract, since the contract Sections take precedence.

4. Divisions 2-16:

a. The contractor must provide properly edited versions for the indicated sections in Divisions 2 through 16. The specs either are as provided or shall be taken from the UFGS package.

b. Add or delete RAFB master specification sections from Divs 2-16 as needed for the design effort. All such additions or deletions shall be documented in the Design Analysis and are subject to approval/disapproval.

B. Material Submittals:

1. The specification sections listed in the outline contain lists of material submittals. The contractor shall provide all applicable material submittals as listed, unless directed otherwise in writing by the Base Project Manager.

2. It is best to provide the material submittals with the design packages to avoid delays in the Government granting approval for the contractor to start site work. Material submittals made at other times must use AF Form 3000 and may have a four-week turnaround.

2.2.3. Pointers on Design Negotiation

A. Formal Conferences: We expect the design firm to send only one to two persons to each formal review meeting on Preliminary and Final Designs.

B. Direct design fees shall not exceed 6.0% of construction cost, since we have provided the design concept in Sections 01005 and 01020.

C. Visits and involvement by design firm personnel after the approval and base signing of Corrected Final documents are to be covered out of design firm overhead, at design firm expense, as is customary in the industry. The Superintendent is the only overseer or non-laborer that the Government will pay for out of construction general conditions funds.

D. The Government will not pay for design firm preconstruction work. This is also to be covered out of the design firm's overhead.

2.3. Sustainability: Not applicable.

2.3.1. Design the most energy-efficient systems/structures which are cost effective and within the scope of the project. A major goal of the design must be to achieve a certifiable score under LEED™ for new construction and major rehab projects. This is in addition to the specific requirements of Executive Order 13123 and other mandatory requirements below. Where this is not technically or economically feasible, the AE will provide a written explanation of the reasons for the non-attainment. Repair projects must demonstrate how they will serve to support the overall “greening” of the facility. In addition, the AE shall provide recommendations specifically addressing what “next step” would be needed to make the facility more sustainable. For example, a designer replacing the roof may suggest the building siding and windows be replaced to increase the insulation on the walls. The intention is not for the AE to do an extensive analysis, unless specifically contracted for, but to use his observations of the facility and his professional knowledge to point the way for further investigation or future project development.

2.3.2. These websites provide resources and mandatory requirements:

http://www.nibs.org/bppap/Energy.htm (Most references are mandatory) http://www.nibs.org/bppap/ENERMGT.pdf (mandatory) http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/epp/ http://www.energycodes.org/comcheck/com_dwn.html http://www.eren.doe.gov/femp/procurement/begin.html (mandatory)

2.3.3. On new construction and major rehab projects, the design analysis shall include a specific comparison of the design and the above criteria. A life cycle cost analysis must be provided to determine if compliance is achievable.

2.4. Structural Interior Design

Interior design requirements listed in Section 01020 usually will not include color, texture, and architectural form aspects. Provide this information in submittals for approval on Structural Interior Design (SID). Include all applicable items described in Section 01020.

2.5. Comprehensive Interior Design: Omitted

3. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION

3.1. Contract Administration Authority

3.1.1. Authority: The Contracting Officer in Base Operational Contracting, 78 CCS/PKJ, is responsible for the administration of this contract. The Contracting Officer has designated the Office of the Civil Engineer as the design and technical surveillance representative for this contract.

3.1.2. Design Guidance: Only the Contracting Officer can make changes in the description of the scope and provisions of this contract. No other verbal or written instructions by Government personnel carry any such authority. On many design-build projects, the user personnel may attempt to provide additional guidance and/or requests to the design firm during the design stages, especially when design firm personnel visit the work site. Further, the design firm personnel often request clarifications directly to the user personnel. Neither of these are acceptable actions. Only the Office of the Civil Engineer is authorized to provide design guidance, not the user personnel, and only in those cases where the directions do not constitute a "change" to the contract.

3.1.3. Changes without Proper Authority: The contractor must direct all concerns about contract changes to the Contracting Officer, especially if they appear to involve an increase or decrease in scope that may require a formal contract change and adjustments in contract cost. If the contractor does not follow these requirements before acting on any such directions or instructions by other than the Contracting Officer, then the contractor takes such actions at its own expense.

3.2. Design Fee Payments

3.2.1. When to Bill: Do not bill for any design work until the action (such as a review conference) has been completed or held for that phase.

3.2.2. Decision: The Base Project Manager will decide whether each stage has been accomplished satisfactorily.

3.2.3. Fee payment guidelines: These are for the design portion of the contract without phasing:

Prefinal/Preliminary Conference Met 60% of design cost

First Final Conference Met 80% of design cost

3.3. Channels for Obtaining Information

3.3.1. Point of Contact: The Office of the Civil Engineer will appoint a Base Project Manager for this work. The Base Project Manager will provide technical support to the Contracting Officer and serves as the primary point of contact for the AE on all technical matters, and all work performed by the AE on base will be coordinated with the Base Project Manager.

3.3.2. Coordination of Work: Except as specified herein, all requests for information necessary to do this work shall be made to the Base Project Manager or his supervisor. The AE shall maintain at all times close liaison with that office by appropriate means to assure maximum coordination of the work.

3.3.3. User Personnel Contact: At no time are user personnel authorized to provide design or construction criteria or information directly to the contractor's design firm and construction crew.

3.4. Government Furnished Information

The Office of the Civil Engineer will furnish applicable data, drawings, and information as available for the described work.

4. DESIGN RESPONSIBILITIES AND DOCUMENTATION

4.1. General

Regardless of any review, acceptance, or approval by the Government, the AE is responsible for the professional and technical quality of all designs, drawings, specifications, and other material produced under this contract.

The AE is also responsible for the professional quality and adequacy of the service and materials furnished and for compliance with design criteria specified by the Government for use under this contract.

4.2. Conferences and Meetings

4.2.1. Periodic Design Progress Meetings: During the design phase of the contract, the contractor's representative and the lead designer shall meet at least monthly with the PKC representative, the CECE (or CECM) project manager, and the CECC (or CECM) construction manager to discuss progress in accordance with the approved schedule by at least the 21st of each month. The contractor may request the Contracting Officer to schedule these meetings at the same date, time, and place at Robins AFB for each month. These meetings may be combined with the design review meetings if the contractor makes the request to the Contracting Officer at least one week ahead of the date for the design review meeting.

4.2.2. Meeting Records: The Contractor (or AE) shall provide to the Contracting Officer and 778 CES/CECE (or CECM) a written record of all conferences and meetings held between the Government and the contractor's design firm during which the technical design of the project is discussed. The primary items to note are decisions made and action items with responsible person noted and date due. These written records of conferences and meetings held between the Government and the AE shall not constitute a "Notification of Change" as described by the changes clause of the contract. Provide as and when noted in Section 01503. For additional record purposes, either the Contractor or the Government may elect to audiotape the meeting.

4.3. Personnel Safety

The design shall meet all applicable safety requirements of the US Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). The construction specifications and drawings provided shall specify the OSHA standards in detail or by explicit reference; e.g., (1) Handrails and guardrails will be provided as required by OSHA standards 1910.23 or (2) Ladders will be constructed in accordance with OSHA standard 1910.27.

4.4. Life Safety Analysis

As applicable, the design for new or renovated facilities shall include a life safety analysis. The designer is responsible for complete code and criteria review, compliance, and documentation during proposal preparation and final design development.

The AE shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately upon discovery of any suspect material. The Government will sample the material and take corrective action as required. Any further action by the AE will be covered by the Changes clause of the contract.

5. AREAS COVERED IN THE PROCEDURAL GUIDE FOR AE'S

5.1. Site Investigations

5.1.1 Follow the details noted in the Procedural Guide for AE’s for site investigations by visiting the project site prior to commencing design and performing all fieldwork necessary to determine the existing conditions at the site of the work.

5.1.2. Take load readings on electrical or mechanical equipment to verify existing load conditions. The AE shall furnish temporary metering as necessary for this purpose.

5.1.3. The AE shall take digital photos as necessary to assist in determining existing conditions and scope of demolition. Use digital cameras, and provide electronic copies of all photos to the Base Project Manager. If the AE desires to take photos in or enter a controlled area, a 48-hour notice is required to allow the Government to arrange escorts for taking photos or gaining access to the controlled area.

5.2. Design Analysis

Provide a comprehensive design analysis as detailed in the Procedural Guide for AE’s.

5.3 Interior Design

5.3.1. Structural Interior Design - Provide as noted in the Procedural Guide for AE’s.

5.3.2. Comprehensive Interior Design - Omitted.

5.4 Documentation Requirements

Follow the Procedural Guide for AE’s sections for letters and forms, specifications, and drawings.

6. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE FOR DESIGN CRITERIA

The Drawings included with the contract specifications for this project are intended to show the initial concept as conceived by Government personnel. They are provided to help clarify design objectives and are intended to be used as complementary with the documents below.

Where there appear to be conflicts between various standards, follow this order of precedence:

6.1. First: Section 01020, Construction Design Performance Requirements, is intended to identify specific project requirements. In cases of criteria conflict, Section 01020 holds precedence over all other criteria mentioned or referenced. Project specifications define minimum material quality requirements for material and installation. The contract drawings furnished by the Government are complementary to the Specifications.

6.2. Second: Follow any edited specifications included with the contract documents.

6.3. Third: Follow the Procedural Guide for Architect-Engineer Firms (Procedural Guide for AE’s). This covers site investigations, design analyses, interior design, and documentation requirements for specifications and drawings.

6.4. Fourth: Follow the Robins AFB Facility Standard and Architectural Compatibility Standard. These define technical requirements for all construction at Robin AFB. In many cases, they also specify criteria for project drawings and specifications. They also reference the federal and national standards for compliance.

6.5. Fifth: 778 CES/CECE maintains on a file server the master specifications for construction projects at Robins AFB. Use these specifications, and edit them (subject to approval by the Base Project Manager) for any items of work for which they are currently available. For those areas not covered, use the latest versions of Unified Facility Guide Specifications (UFGS). Failure to use the RAFB master specifications does not relieve the contractor from responsibility for complying with statements contained in those specifications.

6.6. Sixth: Areas not covered by the above shall be governed by the most severe DOD, Air Force, federal, or other national standard.

6.7. The Base Project Manager may grant waivers to these criteria. Request the waivers in writing for a decision, and then document them in the design analysis. Waivers are not valid until documented in an approved design analysis.

7. MEETINGS AND DESIGN SUBMITTALS

7.1. Project Preperformance (Kickoff) Meeting

7.1.1. Immediately after notification of contract award, contact the Contracting Officer to set up the Preperformance (Kickoff) Meeting at Robins AFB. The Contracting Officer or Project Manager normally will schedule to meet within 14 days after contract award. The usual attendees are the same as would be invited to a Preconstruction conference for a design-bid-build contract.

7.1.2. Checklist: Use the attached Kickoff Meeting Checklist to help prepare the items to bring to the meeting.

7.1.3. Agenda for the Kickoff Meeting will include as a minimum the following:

A. Present a copy of the Kickoff Meeting Checklist to the Base Project Manager.

B. Discuss the submittal, for approval, of the contractor's records on negotiations between the Government and Contractor before award.

C. Discuss the project schedule approved at pre-award and any clarifications that need to be noted.

D. In addition to bringing the approved schedule to the Kickoff meeting, also bring copies of the approved design firm submittal and subcontractor submittal.

F. Submit at the meeting the Pay Schedule as directed in Section 01503.

G. Set up a time/day each month for the design progress meeting, per paragraph 4.2.1.

H. Discuss the format for the meeting records per paragraph 4.2.2.

I. In so far as possible, the Government will deliver any additional documents requested by the Contractor and promised by the Government.

J. Discuss at Contractor request any clarifications and fine-tuning of the details of the contract requirements.

7.1.4. Negotiations: Provide a submittal, for approval, of the contractor's records on negotiations between the Government and Contractor before award, if such negotiations took place. If no such records are submitted and subsequently approved, then all future conflicts over the negotiation results shall be decided in favor of the Government's interpretation.

7.1.5. Schedule: Submit for approval a comprehensive schedule, with the bid proposal as a pre-award submittal, as required in Section 01300 and per Section 01503. The Bidder/Contractor and AE shall determine and submit the written schedule of plans with numbers of days for each step in the process for the design submittals and subsequent construction to ensure they meet the time schedule for the entire project. The schedule submitted with the bid proposal shall include detailed project descriptions that "flesh out" the general statements in Sections 01005 and 01020. Include any requests for construction phasing, since that will require professionally-stamped drawings also signed by base personnel as noted below, since the schedule must take into account the time required to acquire such signatures.

A. Notice to Proceed: The Government will not give the contractor notice to proceed (NTP) until the Contracting Officer approves both the schedule and design firm team at or after this post-award meeting on Preperformance.

B. Early Delay: Note that the contracted total time starts at award. The time allowed for the contract includes a reasonable time for the Contractor to meet with the Government at the Kickoff Meeting, which includes obtaining the approval of the post-award documents. The Contractor is fully responsible for any delays in getting the NTP for the design phase, which could thus make the whole contract behind schedule.

B. Construction Prohibition: Do not order any materials or start any construction until all submitted drawings (including for approved phases) are stamped and signed by the contractor's professional architects or professional engineers, and they subsequently are signed by Robins AFB approval personnel that are listed below.

C. Base Design Approval: The following individuals or their alternates are responsible for signing the drawings for base approval of the design drawings.

Title Office Person

Fire Department Official 78 CEG/CEFP (Fire)

D. Typical Schedule Dates: The Government's estimated time schedule is attached as an Appendix to Section 01503. The total time of the contract is as set forth in the Appendix, unless the Contracting Officer chooses to alter the contract times through issuing amendments after inputs from bidders at least 10 days before bid opening.

7.1.6. Preaward Submittals: In addition to bringing the approved schedule to the Kickoff meeting, also bring copies of the approved design firm submittal and subcontractor submittal.

7.1.7. Promised Documents: At least three workdays before the meeting, advise the Project Manager of any additional items needed for the design effort.

7.1.8. Clarifications and Fine Tuning: Use the meeting to ask any questions needed to begin the design effort in earnest. Make site visits or contacts with base personnel as may be helpful.
