TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

0001 1 LS 1. Preliminary Remarks:

The construction effort will consist of converting the existing space on the second floor of building 52 to support the new Army community education services for Poland. Requirements are to construct new classrooms and administrative spaces within the area. The scope of this work is to make modifications and renovation in the exiting set up to accommodate one new classrooms / administration room within the areas of the building as defined in the SOW. Contractor shall provide, install and remove when completed: The Contractor shall provide the USAG Poland the services set forth in this Section in accordance with applicable country and federal laws, rules, and regulations:

1.1. All protective tape and cover over all existing surfaces adjacent but unaffected by the work of this SOW. Contractor shall be responsible to remedy all errors caused by its workers. Contractor shall clean up the work areas at the close of each day and each stage.

1.2. Renovations works to the Premises as required in this Scope of Works namely (not limited to):

a. Preliminary works (e.g. re-design of all systems in compliance with new layout, indication of changes to the data, dismantling works, cleaning, etc.);

b. Interior construction and finishing works: floors, ceilings, partitions, doors, fixtures, fittings, etc;

c. Mechanical: HVAC, and other works.

d. Electrical: lighting, power, UPS and other works.

0001 1 LS 2. Site Preparation

Contracts relating to the repair and construction in Floor 2 of Bldg. 52 should clearly define the party (or parties) responsible for the following actions. The Contractor shall do the following:

a. Prepare the site (including specified physical protection requirements identified)

b. Provide provision, installation, testing and commissioning of all security equipment.

c. Provide provision of the installation of dropped ceilings, and walls for the following: 2 classrooms, 1 computer room, 1 multi-functional learning room, 1 conference room, 1 waiting room, and 1 breakroom. See also Attachment C as the diagram of the to-be Education Center.

d. Provide provision of the installation of walls for 1 ESO office, 1 ESS office, and 3 college representatives offices. See also Attachment C as the diagram of the to-be Education Center.

e. Prepare all electrical work (as required), including the provision of clean power.

- 17 -

f. Prepare all plumbing work (as required) for a sink with hot and cold water in the breakroom and water supply to a to-be refrigerator’s intake for its automatic ice maker.

g. Prepare all low-voltage electrical work (as required) (e.g., ethernet, cable TV, fiber optic).

h. Reference all guidelines listed on attached slides for installation and preparation.

0003 1 LS 3. Installation

Contracts relating to installation of construction of the Army Education Center should clearly define the party (or parties) responsible for the following actions. The Contractor Shall:

a. Provide provision of the installation classroom micro-raised floors for 2 classrooms, 1 testing room and 1 computer room. Classroom doors will be standard doors opening to the inside of the classroom. Ramps from the existing floor to the top of the micro-raised floors will be necessary.

b. Install doors from the hallway to Classroom 1, to Classroom 2, 1 testing room and 1 computer room and to all offices. Doors are to be solid doors, lockable from the inside to facilitate ‘shelter-in-place’ orders.

c. Patch, Paint and Repair the Walls and Ceiling on the entire floor.

d. Prepare all electrical work (as required), including the provision of clean power.

e. Install all electrical outlets for all rooms. Classrooms require power to each row of desks sufficient for 30 seats and 20 seats, respectively. The offices each require minimally four single gang outlets on two branch circuits to power up to 8 devices. The Testing room requires power along the walls of the room, sufficient for 7 desks in the AFT, 1 testing coordinator’s desk (requires 2 single gang outs) and 4 desks in the NFT (see also Attachment D of the to-be Education Center). The staff break room requires branch circuits suitable to power a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and up to a 1,200W microwave. The staff work room requires sufficient power outlets and branch circuits to power up to two corporate-grade multi-functional devices (MFD) (e.g., printer, scanner, copier in one unit) and a wired ethernet port in close proximity to each power outlet to support those same MFDs. The circuit breaker panel must be in the machine room so office occupants can reset breakers as necessary. The circuit breaker panel must be labeled in English for each branch circuit. The machine room and staff work rooms have priority on clean power. The machine room needs sufficient branch circuits to support up to 30 devices at 500W each.

f. Reconfigure, as necessary, existing lighting to support room configuration as depicted in Attachment C.

g. Add branch circuits, as necessary, for lighting to support room configuration as depicted in Attachment C.

h. Install all wired ethernet (minimally CAT 5e, preferred CAT 6, RJ45 connectors) port outlets for all rooms. Classrooms require wired ethernet to each row of desks sufficient for 30 seats and 20 seats, respectively. The Testing room requires ethernet along the walls of the room, sufficient for 7 desks in the AFT, the test supervisor’s desk, and 4 desks in the NFT (see also Attachment D of the to-be Education Center). The staff break room area does not require ethernet outlets. Each office will require 2 ethernet ports to support reconfiguration of the occupants within the offices. The staff work room requires a wired ethernet port in close proximity to each

- 18 -power outlet to support the MFDs. All wired ethernet has their return runs terminating in the machine room at the Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) for the to-be placement of one or more switches. Each ethernet cable terminated in the machine room will have labels affixed to the cable indicating the location (or other identifier) of its opposite end (to enable port-level cybersecurity, and future proof troubleshooting) and support cable management within the machine room. Should contractors use conduit for running ethernet cabling, contractor will leave, minimally, 2 pull lines inside the conduit to enable future cable pulls. All ethernet cables need physical separation from electrical supply lines and lighting fixtures to reduce electromagnetic interference with ethernet signals.

i. Heating and air conditioning reconfiguration to support delivery of heating and air conditioning to each classroom, testing room, and office spaces. Air conditioning and heating should, ideally, be controllable in each enclosed room. If that is not feasible, minimally, air conditioning will have separate zones for: the 2 offices; the classrooms; the testing rooms; the machine room; remaining open spaces. Air conditioning reconfiguration, as necessary, to the labeled machine room. The machine room requires sufficient cooling to support, maximally, up to 30 devices drawing 500W each.

j. Define and ensuring compliance with all general Site Requirements.
