PROJECT SCOPE

Project Summary The General Services Administration, Region 8, is initiating a Design-Bid-Build for an E-Vault Data Center facility to provide storage services to other computer facilities for a federal customer. The facility will be designed to experience no scheduled down time and be able to operate without external utilities for specified periods of time.

The E-Vault project area consists of 3.25 acres of pre-developed land, and will provide improvements, including an expanded facility with associated parking, utilities, landscaping improvements, and an additional access road.

Building 94 is located at One Denver Federal Center, Lakewood, Colorado on the Denver Federal Center (DFC) Campus.

The building was built in 1992, is one-story and sits on a concrete slab. Building 94 is approximately 28,000 sq. ft. in size and currently serves as a warehouse - 18,000 sq. ft. is being converted from warehouse space into the E-Vault space. It is constructed of modern steel and CMU and it has no interior walls and wide column spacing. There is a built- in loading dock and outside room for generator, substation and cooling pads. The construction, layout and setbacks of this location make it an ideal candidate from security and life safety standpoints to house the E-Vault.

The project shall comply with PBS-P100, Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service and the following standards and criteria documents; The Uptime Institute Tier III and/or Telecommunications Infrastructure (TIA-942) Standards for Data Centers.

This building has been determined ineligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office and GSA Center for Historic Buildings is not required as part of this project.

The Government will be using a brand name product to fulfill a portion of the fiber optic cable construction requirements through a subcontract for the brand name product under the General Contractor. The requirements call for a subcontract to a Corning Manufacturer Certified Installer with a 25 year warranty.

Project Objectives The contractor shall provide labor, materials, equipment and supervision necessary to perform:

• Construction of the E-Vault Facility in accordance with all design drawings, specifications and narratives.

• Complete project in the agreed prescribed timeframe

• Secure access badging for work on the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado mailto:sarah.callies@gsa.gov mailto:paige.jacques@gsa.gov
