1.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The project objective is to design and construct functional drinking water treatment facilities for the Army at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) 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. DPG utilizes groundwater that contains contaminants above the Federal and State of Utah requirements. A water treatment system is required to reduce contaminant levels in water to satisfy primary and secondary drinking water requirements.

DPG prefers the water treatment plant to be typical and utilized successfully in other Utah 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. DPG desires an estimate of operating costs, operator certification requirements, and wastewater discharge flows to be submitted to John Craig (DPG). All work shall be performed in accordance with applicable regulations, requirements and codes.

01010-5

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, 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 $22,525,000. 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 all utility connections and space with required clearances for all GFGI items. D-B contractor shall provide a suitable Desk-top computer in English Village plant 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 (September 2008), and Utah requirements. Refer to Appendix G for Chemical Warfare Material (CWM) Risk Assessment information.

2.6. DPG WATER TREATMENT BACKGROUND

Dugway Proving Ground is located in Toole County, Utah approximately 85 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah. Highway access to DPG is totally restricted from all directions except via State Highway 99 and 96, which converge at the DPG’s English Village main gate.

Water system identification numbers for English Village, Ditto Technical Facility, and the Carr Facility are 23054, 23021 and 23058, respectively. The system name and address is Dugway Proving Ground Water System, Dugway, Utah 84022. At English Village there are approximately 712 connections serving 1,230 people, at Ditto there are approximately 116 connections serving 500 people, and at Carr there are approximately 28 connections serving 93 people.

Note that this RFP is for work at DPG outside of English Village; therefore most English Village water system details will not be described in this RFP.

Ditto Technical Facility Water System. The source water for the Ditto water system is the Dugway Valley-Government Creek Aquifer, part of the Great Salt Lake regional flow system.

The two relevant zone of groundwater have been identified as a shallow and mid-level aquifer. Water production occurs in the mid-level aquifer which is composed of saturated

01010-6 older alluvium and is under confined conditions at Ditto. The Ditto water system (Number 23021) supplies domestic and industrial water to the Ditto Area, Avery Technical Center, Baker Area, and Michael Army Airfield. The system has a treatment capacity of approximately 1 million gallons per day and a storage capacity of 540,000 gallons.

Ditto Technical Facility Water Supply Wells. Two water supply wells provide raw water to the Ditto Technical Facility Water System. Wells 3 and 28 are located in Ditto. A third well located in Ditto, Well 31, is currently inactive and scheduled for abandonment. Groundwater is pumped into a 40,000 gallon ground-level raw water storage tank. Available existing pump information is as follows; Well #3 pump: 350gpm, 15hp, and approximately 20 psi working pressure. The two wells provide the drinking water at a rate of 580 to 770 gallons per minute.

Ditto Technical Facility Water Storage Tanks. The Ditto Technical Facility System has a current storage capacity of 540,000 gallons. Water storage is provided by 40,000 gallon ground-level raw water tank (Building 4101) located adjacent to and just north of the Ditto Water Treatment Facility (Building 4105). In addition, two 250,000-gallon elevated storage tanks provide water storage for the Ditto Technical Facility and Baker Area; one (Building 4106) located in the Ditto Technical Facility just south of the treatment facility, the other tank (Building 2050) is located approximately 6.25 miles west of the Ditto Technical Facility at the Baker Area. An inactive 100,000-gallon elevated tank (Building 4146) is also available for water storage at the Ditto Technical Facility. With the water plant, the raw water is chlorinated using chlorine-gas injection. Available existing pump information is as follows:

475 gpm, 175 ft head.

Ditto Technical Facility Water Distribution and Consumption. This system is considered a small (<10,000 connections) public, non-transient, non-community water system serving approximately 72 industrial facilities. The distribution length has 116 connections serving 500 people.

Carr Technical Center Water System. The Dugway Valley-Government Creek Aquifer is the source for this water system; the same aquifer supplies the Ditto system. This system is an existing, public, non-transient, non-community water system; System Number 23058. This system has a treatment capacity of approximately 900,000 gallons per day and a storage capacity of 350,000 gallons.

Carr Technical Center Water Supply Wells. Two water supply wells currently provide raw water. Well 33 is located 0.4 miles to the west of the Building 3143 near Bushnell Material Test Facility. Sodium hypochlorite treatment is administered to the raw water at Well 33.

The raw water at Well 5 is chlorinated with chlorine gas.

Groundwater from Well 5 is pumped to Building 3143, the Carr Technical Center Water Plant.

Available existing pump information is as follows; Well #5 pump: 280gpm, and approximately 90 psi working pressure. Within the water plant, the raw water is chlorinated using chlorine gas injection. The treated water is then pumped into a 100,000-gallon potable elevated storage tank located adjacent to the water plant.

Carr Technical Center Water Storage Tanks. The Carr system has a current storage capacity of 350,000 gallons provided by the two elevated tanks. A 100,000 gallon tank (Building 3145) is located adjacent to the Carr Water Treatment Facility (Building 3143). The newer second storage tank (Building 0802B) with a capacity of 250,000 gallons is located approximately 0.4 miles to the west near Well 33.

Carr Technical Center Water Distribution and Consumption. This system supplies domestic and industrial water to approximately 25 industrial facilities located at Carr Technical Center.

The Carr system is considered to be a small drinking water system because it serves less

01010-7 than 10,000 connections. The distribution length is two miles with 28 service connections serving a population of 93. Water is also supplied to 14 hydrants for fire protection.

4.2. APPLICABLE MILITARY CRITERIA

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

01010-15 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.

Standoff distance from roads, parking and installation perimeter; and/or structural blast mitigation
