SECTION 01 10 00

STATEMENT OF WORK

1 PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The 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.

Over a hundred years ago Pikes Peak was chosen as a perfect site for high altitude studies, the first Physiological Observation made on Pikes Peak was in August of 1911. The existing facility was built by the Army in the mid 1960’s and the facility was given to the United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) for research use in 1969. The primary function of the lab is to accommodate human subject research. The research using human subjects at altitude is generally focused on medical and physiological problems encountered by military personnel during acute and chronic exposure to high terrestrial elevations. The High Altitude Research Lab is a unique, one of a kind lab that is essential in providing the research capability necessary to develop new and improved procedures for enhancement of troop performance and the prevention and treatment of related disabilities that occur with high altitude exposure over time.

The existing lab currently resides on the summit of Pikes Peak which has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. The boundary of the National Historic Landmark is the 14,000' contour, so anything higher is within the NHL. Pikes Peak's national significance is specifically associated with western exploration in the early 1800s. The Landmark's natural landscape is a nationally significant resource and its single most character-defining feature. The Army is required to obtain and maintain a special use permit from the Forest Service to be able to use the land on top of Pikes Peak. The new facility must meet all of the Forest Service requirements.

The new High Altitude Research Lab is to be a fully functional lab that fits in with the overall aesthetic of the summit of Pikes Peak, the New Summit House (Currently being designed), and the Forest Service Design Guide.

The design of the facility shall meet the requirements in ‘The Built Environment Image Guide for the National Forests and Grasslands’ by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service FS‐710, dated September 2001, Chapter 4.6 The Rocky Mountain Province. The following is a list of some of the requirements to be incorporated from this document:

1.2.3.1 Facilities shall harmonize with their landscape and grow from the character of each site, its ecology, geology, landforms, colors, and cultural setting. For example, massive vegetation suggests massive structural elements; slender vegetation suggests slender structural elements.

1.2.3.2 Incorporate climate responsive building characteristics. For example, in a cold, dry climate, promote solar gain, utilize clerestory windows, southern facing windows, and thermal mass.

1.2.3.3 The building shall be in harmony with the scale of its surroundings.

1.2.3.4 Use natural building materials that are indigenous to the setting.

1.2.3.5 Contemporary Forest Service design shall synthesize rustic precedents with contemporary needs and realities.

1.2.3.6 Roofs shall convey a strong sense of protection. Roofs in alpine situations should have a flatter pitch to avoid snow shed problems and shall be simple in design.

1.2.3.7

Provide a base to the structure to create a sense that the building is growing out of the site.

1.2.3.8 Exterior façade shall include punched windows, strong corners, and large porch to serve as an outdoor extension of the building. Provide an airlock vestibule for comfort and energy efficiency.

The Government is required by Public Law 102-486, Public Law 109-58, 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. Sustainability shall be a consideration throughout the process of project development from inception.

The building shall be purposefully designed and constructed to be easily winterized, easily ramped up, and easily and efficiently sustained. Provisions for replacing the water and sewage storage tanks in the future shall be incorporated into the design.

The design shall be sensitive to the permafrost which is a problem for the existing facilities on Pikes Peak.

The new lab shall be minimally visible by visitors to the summit and from surrounding areas below. The location and the design of the lab was approved as part of a public process that involved the Summit House Design Team, the Forest Service, the Environmental Assessment process, the USACE, Colorado Springs Utilities, The Pikes Peak Highway Authority, and other parties interested in the new development on Pikes Peak. The experience of the Pikes Peak visitors is the main focus of the new master plan. The location of the lab is such that it has no visual impact on the summit and most visitors will not know the lab is there.

Lighting and moon/sun reflection from the facility toward the populated areas below the Peak to the east, west, and north shall be minimized. Windows and other exterior materials shall be selected to avoid glare and reflection.

The new lab shall be sited adjacent to the new Summit House as part of a new complex on the summit of Pikes Peak. Exact site location shall be coordinated with the Summit House replacement project. The connection between the buildings at the mechanical rooms shall be thoroughly coordinated.

Access to the facility will be provided by others as part of the Summit House project. Access to the facility is via a new service road that will be used to access the HARL and the Summit House Mechanical Room/Service Entrance. This road is also where deliveries will be made to the Summit House. Careful coordination with the Summit House project is required to ensure the final grade of the access road is appropriate for the finished floor elevation of the HARL. Deliveries of equipment at the HARL will be done at grade. Ensure there are no obstacles (stairs, curbs, etc) prohibiting large equipment from being unloaded at the service drive and loaded into the lab area. A minimum of five (5) parking spaces will also be provided by the Summit House Project.

The issue of seeing lights on the summit at night is of great concern. The new lab facility shall only have emergency lighting on the exterior of the building. This lighting shall be able to be turned off when the facility is not in use. Windows shall have shades that will fully block interior light emission from the building at night.

The HARL special use permit was amended and now expires on December 31, 2020. The terms of the extension include operations at the existing HARL, provisions for development of the new HARL, short of authorizing construction of the new HARL. The construction authority from the United States Forest Service for the new HARL is currently in process. The Forest Service owns and manages the land on the summit of Pikes Peak. All new potential construction will need to go through a National Environmental Policy Act environmental assessment process, which is currently underway, and no work on the summit can move forward without Forest Service approval.

Requirements stated in this RFP are minimums. Innovative, creative, and life-cycle cost effective solutions, which meet or exceed these requirements are encouraged.

The intent of the Government is to emphasize the placement of funds into the functional/operational requirements. Materials and methods are to reflect this by choosing the most appropriate 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.

Statement of Iterative Design: The conceptual floor plan in Appendix I has been approved by the owner to meet the program requirements indicated in paragraph 3.3.1 SPACE REQUIREMENTS. Creative, innovative design solutions that deviate from the conceptual floor plan will be considered and evaluated during the selection process. However, the gross square footage shall not exceed the programmed amount of 3000 square feet. The elevations, height, and exterior materials have been approved by the Forest Service and should not be deviated from. Provide clear explanation and definitive reasons for any proposed floor plan and elevation deviations in the proposal submittal.

Existing Exterior Primary Electrical Distribution System.

5.3.3.1 The existing primary electrical distribution system on Pikes Peak is provided by Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU). The primary electrical service is a 7200/12470 Volt, 3-phase, 4-wire (grounded neutral). The existing facility transformer is a 75KVA oil filler pad mounted unit fed from an underground #1 aluminum feeder rated at 15KV. The transformer provides power to the facility at 120/208V, 3-phase. The closest hand-hole to the existing transformer is approximately 250’ away. The feeder to the facility was replaced by CSU within the last 10 years. In the current configuration, the meter current transformers are located in the transformer and the meter is mounted to the existing facility. This configuration for a service less than 1200A is no longer permitted by CSU; they now required the current transformers to be remote from the transformer. The CSU field engineer and point of contact for Pikes Peak is Cindy Hyde, 719-668- 5887, chyde@csu.org.
