1.0 OBJECTIVES

The objective of this contract 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 (COF) has the similar function as an office warehouse in the civilian sector; therefore the design and construction practices for a Company Operations Facility should be consistent with the design and construction of an office warehouse building.

Comparison of Military Facilities to Civilian Facilities

Military Facility Civilian Facility

Company Operations Facility (COF) Office Warehouse

Battalion/Brigade Headquarters (BN HQ/BDE HQ) Office

Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility (TEMF) Heavy Equipment/Vehicle Maintenance Garage

Criminal Investigation Division Command Battalion Headquarters (CIDC BN HQ)

Office

It is the Army's objective that these buildings will have a 25-year useful design life before a possible re-use/re-purpose or renovation requirement, to include normal sustainment, restoration, modernization activities, and a 50-year building replacement life. 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 project sites 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 Contractor 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/contract allowing the funding to be reflected in the quality of interior/exterior finishes and systems selected.
