1.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The project objective is to design and construct functional drinking water treatment facilities for the Army at Sierra Army Depot (SIAD) that are consistent with the design and construction practices used for civilian sector projects that perform similar functions to the military projects.

It is the Army's objective that these buildings/facilities will have a 25-year useful life before a possible re-use/re-purpose or renovation requirement, to include normal sustainment, restoration, modernization activities. Therefore, the design and construction should 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 site infrastructure will have at least a 50-year life expectancy with industry-accepted maintenance and repair cycles.

The government is required by Public Law 102-486, Executive Order 12902, and Federal Regulations 10 CFR 435 to design and construct facilities in an energy-conserving manner while considering life cycle cost over the life of the facilities.

The project site should be developed for efficiency and to convey a sense of unity or connectivity with the adjacent buildings and with the Installation as a whole.

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 should reflect this by choosing the lowest Type of Construction allowed by code for this occupancy/project allowing the funding to be reflected in the quality of systems selected.

2.0 SCOPE

2.1. WATER TREATMENT PLANT

Provide appropriate drinking water treatment facilities in accordance with this contract. This water treatment system is to treat and provide drinking water and is intended to be similar both functionally and technically to similar facilities in the private sector.

A design-build procurement method will be utilized for this work. SIAD utilizes groundwater that contains iron, manganese and uranium above the Federal and State of California requirements. A water treatment system is required to reduce contaminant levels in water to satisfy primary and secondary drinking water requirements.

SIAD prefers the water treatment plant to be typical and utilized successfully in other California locations. The preference is low operating costs; low use of standard water treatment chemicals; no plant operator certification upgrade required; minimum wasting of process/backwash water; and non-proprietary equipment. SIAD desires an estimate of operating costs, operator certification requirements, and wastewater discharge flows to be submitted to Mr. Walt Zinko (SIAD Base Support).

2.2. SITE

Provide all site improvements necessary to support the new building facilities. The Offeror shall design the exterior of the facility to be compatible with the surrounding context. The Offeror’s architectural design development should consider any existing building forms, 01010-5 W91238-09-R-0007 materials, scale, proportions, and organizational layout, and be reflected in the proposal.

Pictures of surrounding architecture are permissible to establish the theme. The Contractor and A-E must certify that they have visited the site before preparing their proposal.

The construction cost limitation is $10,784,015. This amount includes the design effort as well as the construction effort. These costs are presented so that a level of quality can be established and avoid a misunderstanding by the Contractor in cases where they provide a higher cost proposal when a proposal of lesser scope, quality, and performance was funded and required. The Contractor is under no obligation to approach this ceiling.

2.3. GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED GOVERNMENT-INSTALLED EQUIPMENT (GFGI)

Coordinate with Government on GFGI item requirements. Provide suitable structural support, brackets for projectors/VCRs/TVs, all utility connections and space with required clearances for all GFGI items. D-B contractor shall provide a suitable laptop computer compatible with D- B contractor installed SCADA System.

2.4. FURNITURE REQUIREMENTS:

There is no furniture requirement or procurement for this contract. Furniture procurement is not included in this contract.

2.5. ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN

An accident prevention plan (APP) shall be submitted and reviewed by the USACE. This shall be submitted, reviewed and approved prior to any fieldwork. The SSHSP shall adhere to Federal OSHA 29 CFR 1910, 1926 and the US Army Corps of Engineers EM 385-1-1 (3 NOV 2003), and California requirements.

2.6. SIAD WATER TREATMENT BACKGROUND

SIAD extracts groundwater from four potable water supply wells (PSW-02, PSW-05, PSW-08, and PSW-09) and distributes the extracted groundwater to SIAD’s facility operations and various public entities including the Title IX houses; West Patton Village; Herlong’s primary, middle, and high school facilities; Susanville Indian Rancheria; Veterans of Foreign Wars;

and private housing on SIAD.

The primary components of the existing drinking water system at SIAD include: potable supply wells, potable water storage reservoir, elevated water storage tanks, a distribution piping network, and instrumentation and controls.

The four potable water supply wells are equipped with a submersible well pump, piping, motor controls, chlorination equipment, polyphosphate addition system, and a pump building.

In addition, Pumps PSW-02 and PSW-08 are equipped with manually operated backup diesel engines to allow these two wells to operate during power outages.

The potable water reservoir at SIAD is a rectangular concrete basin with a cover of ethylenepropylene diene monomer(EPDM). The cover is fixed to the concrete perimeter and is capable of moving up and down as the water level in the basin fluctuates. There are several switches in the reservoir that are used to start and stop the pumps at PSW-02 and PSW-08. There are three pump stations located adjacent to the reservoir and connected to suction lines in the reservoir. These pumps convey water from the reservoir to the elevated storage tankT-133.

01010-6 W91238-09-R-0007

There are three elevated tanks in SIAD’s drinking water system. Each tank has a capacity of approximately 125,000 gallons and is 120 feet high. Tank T-133 is located adjacent to the reservoir and is used to provide pressure to the distribution system. Level switches in T-133 are used to control the operation of the pumping system stations used to fill the Tank T-133 with water from the reservoir. Tanks T-581 and T-595 are located in the northwest area of SIAD and are filled by gravity from T-133. The primary use of T-581 and T-595 is water supply for fire protection.

The SIAD drinking water system includes a network of distribution piping that connects the potable supply wells, reservoir, tanks, and end users (consumers). The distribution system pipelines have diameters varying between 1 and 12 inches and are constructed from a variety of materials, including ductile iron and high density polyethylene (HDPE).

The SIAD drinking water system operates automatically based on water levels measured in the reservoir and in T-133. The well pumps in PSW-02 and PSW-08 receive a run signal when the low level switch in the reservoir is activated and a stop signal when the high level switch in the reservoir is activated. The transfer pumps receive a run signal when the low level switch in T-133 is activated and a stop signal when the high level switch in T-133 is activated.

The current plant operator certification is operator grade of G02.

The approximate maximum flow rates (gallons per minute) are presented here.

Well Approximate Max flow (gpm) Alternative Well Name

PSW-02 900 Well No. 2

PSW-05 550 Well No. 5

PSW-08 800 Well No. 8

PSW-09 550 Well No. 9

2.7. SIAD WASTEWATER TREATMENT PONDS

The wastewater treatment ponds currently are permitted for 160,000 gallons per day. The pipelines to/from these ponds may need repair. The Contractor is encouraged to review the permit, use and site conditions of these ponds and associated lift stations prior to designing the water treatment plant. Modifications to the ponds and their associated permits may be necessary and/or beneficial. However, use of low volume backwash systems is preferable including use of an area in the north open storage area of the Depot to accomplish wastewater disposal (see optional item 5 following).

01010-7 W91238-09-R-0007

2.8. OPTIONAL ITEMS

The following are additional optional items to be evaluated and priced separately. The government may choose to select any and/or all of the items for this RFP.

1. Condition assessment and TV (television video inspection) the waterline from Well 5 to Well 8 and produce a report that documents the findings.

2. Provide appropriate turbidity and pH meters on the drinking water treatment plant(s) waste stream to be able to monitor and record data.

3. Provide an appropriate Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for the drinking water system. Documentation and training will be required per the manufacturer’s recommendation.

4. Provide appropriate flow meters on the drinking water treatment plant(s) waste stream to be able to monitor and record data.

5. Evaluate utilizing drinking water treatment plant(s) wastewater for dust suppression for the SIAD Long Term Storage Area. Existing lines would be utilized and plumbed as needed.

Drinking water would need to be provided to buildings in the Special Weapons Area; this could possibly be achieved by installing small reverse osmosis systems at Buildings 670-671 and 672.

The project shall conform to the following criteria. Certain design impacts and features due to these criteria are noted for the benefit of the offeror. However, all requirements of the referenced criteria will be applicable, whether noted or not, unless otherwise specified herein.

Criteria shall be taken from the most current references as of the date of issue of this Task Order RFP.

Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58)

UFC 4-010-01 DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings Unless otherwise specified in Project Specific Requirements, only the minimum protective measures as specified by the current Department of Defense Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings, UFC 4-010-01, are required for this project. The element of those standards that has the most significant impact on project planning is providing protection against explosives effects. That protection can either be achieved using conventional construction (including specific window requirements) in conjunction with establishing relatively large standoff distances to parking, roadways, and installation perimeters or through building hardening, which will allow lesser standoff distances. Even with the latter, the minimum standoff distances cannot be encroached upon. These setbacks will establish the maximum buildable area. All standards in Appendix B of UFC 4-010-01 must be followed and as many of the recommendations in Appendix C that can reasonably be accommodated should be included. The facility requirements listed in these specifications assume that the minimum standoff distances can be met, permitting conventional construction. Lesser standoff distances (with specific minimums) are not desired, however can be provided, but will require structural hardening for the building. See Project Specific Requirements for

01010-14 W91238-09-R-0007 project specific siting constraints. The following list highlights the major points but the detailed requirements as presented in Appendix B of UFC 4-010-01 must be followed.
