Fort Bliss Gravesite Expansion BD Part 10.pdf

This is a Base Bid document package for the FT Bliss National Cemetery Expansion project (Project No. 886CM3026, Project No. 18528) located at 5200 Fred Wilson Avenue, El Paso, Texas. The package contains structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and technology design drawings and specifications for construction work at the cemetery facility.

The project involves renovation and new construction across multiple buildings including an Administration Building, Maintenance Building, PIC/Restroom Building, Honor Guard Shelter, and Rostrum. Structural work includes concrete and masonry construction with reinforced slabs on grade, footings, bond beams, and precast concrete elements. All structural work must comply with PG-18-10 Structural Design Manual, International Building Code 2024, ASCE/SEI 7-22, and VA Handbook H-18-8 Seismic Design Requirements. Mechanical systems include HVAC equipment (mini-split systems, rooftop units, swamp coolers), ventilation louvers, and fire sprinkler seismic bracing per ASCE 7-22 Chapter 13 and NFPA 13. Plumbing work encompasses domestic water, sanitary waste, storm drainage systems, and plumbing fixtures with specific ADA compliance requirements. Electrical work involves lighting and power distribution with new panelboards, circuits, receptacles, and emergency systems. Technology systems include telecommunications infrastructure, information outlets, access control systems, video surveillance cameras, and intrusion detection devices. Design loads specified include dead loads (20 psf typical roof), live loads (20 psf), snow loads (15 psf ground), ultimate wind speed (105 mph), and seismic design category C with mapped spectral response values. The document date is June 15, 2026, with design consultant Anderson providing primary engineering oversight and IMEG, Aqua Engineering, and Terracon providing specialty engineering services.
