1.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The project objective is to design and construct facilities for the military that are consistent with the design and construction practices used for civilian sector projects that perform similar functions to the military projects.

For example, a Company Operations Facility has the similar function as an office/warehouse/maintenance facility in the civilian sector; therefore the design and construction practices should be consistent with the design and construction of an office/warehouse/maintenance facility.

Comparison of Military Facilities to Civilian Facilities

Military Facility Civilian Facility School Age Care (SAC) facility School Age Child Care Center

1.1 It is the Air Force's objective that these buildings will have a 50 year useful life. The design and construction shall provide an appropriate level of quality to ensure the continued use of the facility over that time period with the application of reasonable preventive maintenance and repairs that would be industry-acceptable to a major civilian sector project OWNER. The facility design should consider that the Air Force may repurpose the use of the facility over the 50 year life. The Corps of Engineers intent is to install products and materials of good quality that meet industry standard average life that corresponds with the period of performance of more than 25 years before a major renovation or repurpose. The design shall be flexible and adaptable to possible future uses different than the current mission to the extent practical while still meeting the operational and functional requirements defined within. The site infrastructure will have at least a 50-year life expectancy with industry-accepted maintenance and repair cycles. Develop the project site for efficiency and to convey a sense of unity or connectivity with the adjacent buildings and with the Installation as a whole.

1.2 Requirements stated in this contract are minimums. Innovative, creative, and life cycle cost effective solutions, which meet or exceed these requirements, are encouraged. Further, the OFFEROR is encouraged to seek solutions that will expedite construction (panelization, pre-engineered, etc.) and shorten the schedule. The intent of the Government is to emphasize the placement of funds into functional/operational requirements. Materials and methods shall reflect this by choosing the most economical Type of Construction allowed by code for this occupancy/project allowing the funding to be reflected in the quality of interior/exterior finishes and systems selected.

1.3 SECTION ORGANIZATION

This Section is organized under 5 major “paragraphs”.

• Paragraph 1 is intended to define the project objectives and to provide a comparison between the military facility(ies) and comparable “civilian” type buildings.

• Paragraph 2 describes the scope of the project.

• Paragraph 3 provides the functional, operational and facility specific design criteria for the specific facility type included in this contract or task order.

• Paragraph 4 describes Applicable Criteria including project specific, industry, and

Federal criteria.

• Paragraph 5 contains a list of Acronyms.

The Contractor shall provide storm drainage calculations, including runoff and volumes from adjacent properties especially at critical structures. The storm water calculations shall be based on the appropriate storm for each requirement. For example, EISA requires the analysis of the 95th percentile storm whereas USGBC requires analysis of the 2 year and 1 year storms. In addition the contractor shall size all major drainage structures, such as culverts, manholes and curb inlets for the 10-year 24-hour storm event. While hand calculations are acceptable it is preferred that the contractor analyze the site drainage design with a storm water modeling program such as Storm Water Management Model (SWMM).

The contractor shall meet the requirements of EISA, the post-development stormwater discharge and volume shall not be greater than the pre-development values. According to the Department of Defense, pre-development is defined as prior to new construction. The contractor shall include a statement in the design analysis stating that the design meets the requirements of EISA and how it is being accomplished.

The final design shall be submitted to the State of Alaska for a Wastewater Discharge Engineering Plan Review in accordance with ADEC 18 AAC 72.600. Any associated fees for the review of the final design for approval shall be the Contractor’s responsibility. The Contractor shall provide the Letter of Non- Objection as obtained from the State of Alaska after the successful completion of the plan review.

Areas experiencing consolidated flow, such as roof drain outlets, roof drip lines, parking lots, drainage swales, etc. shall be designed with features to prevent erosion.

Runoff from roof drains and collections systems must be directed away from buildings without causing glaciation on pedestrian circulation routes or erosion.

The site is relatively flat, dropping to the north of the site. A retaining wall may be required north of the site. Storm water will be routed to drainage structures or swales which lead to bioswales or infiltration galleries. Drainage culverts, if required, shall be CMP or RCP.
