d. "Sustainability" is the balance of environmental, economic, and societal considerations.

1.3 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.3.1 NASA Ames Research Center Bioscience Building N288 Project Description

The Biosciences Building is a 40,000 GSF, two-story facility housing research laboratories, offices, conference rooms and a mechanical plant.

The Building is located on the south half of a parcel block in the center of the NASA Ames campus within the core of NASA research buildings.

Multidisciplinary research teams housed in the facility will conduct research in fundamental space biology, astrobiology/exobiology and synthetic biology to enable NASA's plan and the President's vision to send humans on long duration space flight missions beyond the protective environment of earth. In order to safely travel these distances, NASA needs to answer fundamental biological questions about how living systems react to radiation, microgravity and how living systems will adapt and evolve in space.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 1

This Biosciences Laboratory will offer a working environment that facilitates the evolving needs of research teams with a flexible work space for laboratory, office and conference environments. The laboratories are planned with four tiers of functional space including open wet bench labs, specialty function open alcoves, a large equipment room and a range of specialty support laboratories.

The Building is organized as a long, narrow bar with the office wing placed on the west portion of the site and the laboratories to the east.

The office and laboratories are linked by the entry lobby and the building core. This configuration allows a clear functional zoning of the building and maximum day light exposure. The building is characterized with an iconic shade canopy that spans the entire south façade of the building along the office, conference and laboratory functions. The canopy will serve as the recognizable landmark of the building, actively engaging with the site context and setting a new benchmark for the biological sciences at the NASA Ames Campus.

The building is a cast-in-place concrete structure with a flat slab and shear wall lateral system. The east laboratory mechanical systems are 100% outside air, variable volume system with supply and exhaust fans.

The west laboratory and office area mechanical system utilizes an economizer (recirculation capable) air at offices and once-through air at labs. The building includes both fixed and moveable laboratory casework and chemical fume hoods.

The project also includes site improvements such as underground utilities, site grading and paving, landscaping, hardscape and irrigation system.

1.2 ACCEPTANCE

Prior to the start of work, prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer for acceptance a construction schedule in the form of a Network Analysis Schedule (NAS) in accordance with the terms in Contract Clause "FAR 52.236-15, Schedules for Construction Contracts," except as modified in this contract.

The acceptance of a Baseline Construction Schedule is a condition precedent to:

a. The Contractor starting work on the demolition or construction stage(s) of the contract.

b. Processing Contractor's invoice(s) for construction activities/items of work.

c. Review of any schedule updates.

Submittal of the Baseline Schedule, and subsequent schedule updates, is understood to be the Contractor's certification that the submitted schedule meets all of the requirements of the Contract Documents, represents the Contractor's plan on how the work will be accomplished, and accurately reflects the work that has been accomplished and how it was sequenced (as-built logic).

Use the critical path method (CPM) to schedule and control project activities. Prepare and maintain project schedules using Microsoft Project 2010 or later. Importing data into the scheduling program using data conversion techniques or third party software is cause for rejection of the submitted schedule. Build the schedule as follows:

a. The Project Schedule must show submittals, Government review periods, SECTION 01 32 16.00 20 Page 2 material/equipment delivery, utility outages, all on-site construction, inspection, testing, and closeout activities. Government and Contractor on-site work activities must be driven by calendars that reflect Saturdays, Sundays and all Federal Holidays as non-work days.

b. With the exception of the Contract Award and End Contract milestone activities, no activities shall be open-ended; each activity must have predecessor and successor ties. No activity can have open start or open finish (dangling) logic. Minimize redundant logic ties. Once an activity exists on the schedule it must not be deleted or renamed to change the scope of the activity and must not be removed from the schedule logic without approval from the Contracting Officer.

This is the start of the file's text. The full file is on GovTribe.
