STATEMENT OF WORK
11/20
PART 1 PROJECT
1.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
1.1.1 OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to replace a Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system and suspended ceiling systems in an existing United States Army Reserve Center (USARC).
1.1.2 ARMY'S OBJECTIVE
It is the Army's objective that the work performed in this project will have a 25-year useful design life before a possible re-use/re-purpose or renovation requirement, to include normal sustainment, restoration, and modernization activities. Therefore, the design and construction must 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.
1.1.3 REQUIREMENTS
Requirements stated in this contract are minimums. Innovative, creative, and life cycle cost effective (LCCE) solutions, which meet or exceed these requirements are encouraged. Further, the OFFEROR is encouraged to seek solutions that will expedite construction (pre-engineered, etc.) and shorten the schedule without impacting quality or performance of the required design and construction. 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 interior/exterior finishes and systems selected.
1.2 SECTION ORGANIZATION
This Section is organized under 6 major "Parts".
1. Part 1 is intended to define the project objectives.
2. Part 2 describes the scope of the project.
3. Part 3 is not used.
4. Part 4 lists applicable industry and government design & construction criteria, generally applicable to all facility types, unless otherwise indicated in the Section. It is not intended to be all-inclusive.
Other industry and government standards may also be used, where necessary to produce professional designs, unless they conflict with those listed.
Section 01 10 00 Page 2
5. Part 5 contains Army Standard Design Criteria, generally applicable to all facility types, unless otherwise indicated in the Section.
6. Part 6 contains installation and project specific criteria supplementing the other 5 parts.

HVAC controls trend logging to include graphic representation and provide evaluation report of results. Perform and document a post occupancy system monitoring and inspection, concurrent with the 10-month warranty inspection, to review building operation after beneficial occupancy. Post occupancy system monitoring and inspection results will be used to verify compliance with the OPR and BoD. Revise and update the Systems Manual and the Final Commissioning Report and submit to government for review and approval.
The Commissioning process must be fully defined in the design phase for the project. Early involvement by all parties in project development is required to facilitate the development of the commissioning leadership structure and process which records the expectations and requirements for commissioning. A Commissioning Plan must be developed, which outlines the process, systems to be commissioned, participants, roles and responsibilities, communication procedures, and deliverables. The scope and rigor of Commissioning activities to be completed during construction need to be defined in the contract documents so that they are clearly understood and can be successfully executed. Review of the design documents at various stages of development must verify that the designed systems are commissionable, and suggest alternative designs that would save energy, allow for system optimization, and decrease overall Life Cycle Cost (LCC). The specifications must also include draft Pre-Functional Checklists (PFC) and Functional Performance Test (FPT) procedures for each system to be commissioned to adequately define the scope and rigor required. As part of the commissioning process, verify that training has been provided on all commissioned systems in accordance with the OPR and contract documents.
The Commissioning leadership structure, including roles and responsibilities, must be fully defined in the project requirements documents, regardless of leadership structure, the process requires full and open communication for all parties to maximize the benefits of the process.
