B. Type of Contract:

1. Project will be constructed under a single prime contract.

Buildings Service.

1.5 SIGNIFICANT ASPECTS

A. This project is a substantial investment by both GSA and USDA to provide healthy, modern, and efficient workspace for USDA’s employees moving into the federal building from their expiring private lease. It is highly unlikely that there will be any further, significant investment in USDA’s spaces for the term of the lease, 20 years, which is why it is of utmost importance that the Contractor deliver workmanship of the highest quality, to minimize the need for repair or replacement of failing building elements within their suite.

1. Schedule is very important. USDA’s current private market lease is ending in January

2019. An extension to that lease would be costly and must be avoided. USDA and their contractors also require time to set-up the scanning and computing environment prior to occupancy. Phasing and on-time delivery of Early Delivery spaces will be critical to maintain by the Contractor.

2. Effective communication and efficient coordination will be essential. Work in an occupied building is challenging, however most challenges can be successfully overcome with proper communication and coordination between all project team members.

3. This project shall be executed adjacent to occupied space. The safety and security of building employees is critical. Noise, dust, and disruption must be mitigated.

4. This project will involve a thoughtful approach to work sequence in order to maintain egress, safety, security, and continuity of work in adjacent spaces.

SUMMARY 011000 - 6

GSA Project VUT00010, Building UT0032ZZ

Bid Package 2

5. This project will require the abatement of hazardous materials. The building will be fully occupied during construction and special consideration of how and when abatement work occurs will be required, such as night, weekend, or holiday work.

6. Removal of demolished materials will require coordination of the freight elevator with

GSA. Protection of people, finishes, maintenance of egress, dust control, etc. will be required.

7. As a result of this project's delivery time-frame, timely and complete submittals will be necessary.

8. The FB is LEED EB Silver. Activities, materials, and waste management shall not negatively impact this achievement.

9. USDA, under separate contract, will be utilizing the services of Cherokee Nation

Technologies for a portion of the Computing Environment, Tape Library, and Generator

Room scope of work. The Contractor shall refer to the Responsibility Matrix in the

Project Specifications for a detailed understanding of scope responsibility. Coordination and communication with Cherokee Nation Technologies will be necessary to ensure no one contractor’s work is disrupted or impeded.

10. GSA, under separate contract, will be procuring furniture for USDA. Schedule coordination will be required as part of this Contract. The furniture installer will be responsible for delivery and installation, however all parties must communicate and coordinate to ensure no one Contractor’s work is disrupted or impeded. The electrician as part of this Contract will be required to assist in providing power to the insinstsinstalled furniture.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASING AND EARLY DELIVERY SPACES

A. The work in the Data Center on the 6th Floor must be phased and closely coordinated with the

Data Center Contractor, Cherokee Nation. The purpose of the phasing is to allow the BOR Data

Center to be in continuous use throughout the project. Construction of the Distribution Room

(6200) will be completed prior to any work in the Shared Server Room 6407. The BOR Servers will be relocated, by Cherokee Nation, to a temporary location in the Distribution Room, once that room is complete. Once the temporary BOR Servers are in operation, Cherokee Nation will remove any remaining BOR Servers equipment. Then construction can begin in the Shared

Server Room. The logical steps follow (but may be adjusted by the Contractor to meet the requirement):
