STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 GENERAL

The Government intends to procure the construction for this project through the Integrated Design-Bid-Build (IDBB) process wherein the Contractor, Architect/Engineer (A/E), and the Government collaborate, coordinate and cooperate throughout the design and construction process.

Using this project delivery approach permits the Contractor to be brought on board during the design process to facilitate interaction with the Government and the A/E, and to provide construction expertise to the design team related to construction innovation, constructability, cost control and scheduling. This approach also allows the start and continuation of construction through phased work packages as required to expedite the construction process as quickly as practicable, while minimizing risk to the Government. A critical responsibility of the Contractor in this process is to provide input on current market conditions that could impact cost and schedule.

A coordination meeting with the Government and the AE will be scheduled to discuss the evaluation. This meeting will take place at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, TX.

1.4.5 Construction Design Integration

As part of the Construction Integration Services, the Contractor’s Project Manager (PM), who shall represent and make decisions for the Contractor, shall spend not less than 16 hours per week in direct face-to-face communication with the Architect of Record’s office throughout the design and construction document preparation. The Architect of Record shall provide the PM with Internet access and telephone service. The Contractor shall integrate Construction Integration Services with the design services provided by the Architect of Record. As a minimum, the contractor shall provide continuous feedback to the government and Architect of Record on construction cost, project scheduling, and constructability. These requirements should be reflected in the Contractor’s proposal submittal, under the Construction Integration Services Management Plan.

The Contractor’s continuous feedback regarding construction cost is especially critical considering the potential for project delay should accurate cost information not be available until completion of any specific design submission/phase. The Government and Architect of Record will need sufficient time to respond to the Contractor’s feedback and cost during the development of the design at each phase, in order to maintain the project schedule.

In addition to the specified 16 hours per week on-site in the Architect of Record’s office, the Contractor shall provide personnel to conduct separate discipline-specific design coordination meetings that will average 4 hours in length as indicated below:
