Part 3: 4

Building

Requirements

4.1 Space

Tabulation

In the Part 1.0 Project Description, the proposed facility footprint is listed as 9,795 SF. This is consistent with the square footage listed in the

DD1391. However, the concept layout in the RFP shows a building that is 80’-0” x 120’-0” which equates to 9,600 SF. The Total Area listed in the

4.1 Space Tabulation is 8,960 SF. Is it

permissible to design the building to the minimum square footage listed in the 4.1 Space

Tabulation, as long as the requirements listed in

PART THREE – ROOM REQUIREMENTS are met?

No, the space tabulation does not include circulation, as noted below the space tab chart in the RFP.

Additionally, Chapter 4.1 Space

Tabulation indicates that the space tab represents project minimums; the overall building footprint square footages authorized in the DD1391 shall be the maximum authorized. It should be noted that the concept drawing is intended to convey spatial relationships and, therefore, does not accurately represent appropriate wall thicknesses, column spacings, etc.

2 n/a Is the adjacent Lift Station sized for this project?

No the lift station was installed along with the adjacent Hangar undre

P705. Attached are Plan sheets and

Lift station calcs from the IFC submittal for P705. P680 population is expected to not exceed 30 persons and will be used intermittently.

What is the height required for the raised access floor system?

The top of the raised access floor system to match the adjacent concrete slab floor height in GOAT

Trainer Room 100. The clear depth of the recessed slab is determined by need for horizontal electrical distribution services. DOR to coordinate and provide design outcome. Customer preference is for eight inch (8") depth, with a minimum depth of six inches (6").

How many windows are required for each space identified? RFP states minimum size per window but not quantity.

The RFP does not provide a minimum required quantity of windows for each space. Also, the

RFP does not provide a minimum size per window. The RFP lists a minimum square footage for windows. Quantity and size should be considered in the overall aesthetic and function of the building and its interior room spaces.

10 326 5 Please provide amount of required translucent panels (SF or quantity of a specific size).

The translucent clerestory panels are applied to CH-53K GOAT Trainer

Room 100 only. The RFP does not provide a minimum required quantity of translucent clerestory panels.

Also, the RFP does not provide a minimum size per panel. The RFP lists a minimum square footage for translucent clerestory panels in Part 3

5.0 Room Requirements (720 SF

Min). Quantity and size should be considered in the overall aesthetic and function of the building and its interior room spaces.

In CH53K GOAT Trainer Room: If structural columns require pilaster conditions at the perimeter of the GOAT Trainer Room, is the minimum required SF for this space required to be calculated from the face of each pilaster (in other words the total clear area), or the total SF minus the pilasters?

The RFP specifically states that no interior columns or pilasters are allowed (Reference 'Special

The connection point for the site telecommunications systems must be underground at a Manhole near the intersection of Campbell and White Streets and extended to the project site underground in a system of manholes and ductbank to the telecommunications equipment room. The D/B team understands that a corrosion control hangar was recently constructed near the project site.

That said, is there now a tie in point closer to the site other than the intersection of Campbell and

Please clarify if the requirement listed under the part (b) Whole Building Energy Simulation requesting that the energy model prepared by the

D-B team include process loads and utilize utility rates applies to this RFP response when, under section (ii) Basis of Government Evaluation, the metric that is being reviewed by the government for compliance with RFP is energy consumption reduction, not energy cost reduction.

The utility costs are still required as another means of comparison regarding the accuracy of the build.

The metric will remain energy consumption reduction, but cost information is required.
