2.3 Dead and Live Loads

Dead and live loads used for design shall be in accordance with the International Building Code IBC-2012

2.4 Seismic

The structure and all parts thereof shall be designed for the seismic requirements as defined by the International Building Code, IBC-2012, UFC 3-301-01 and UFC 3-310-04. For this region use Spectral Response Ss=0.46g and S1=0.22g. Soil site classification will be determined by Geotechnical investigation.

2.5 Raised Access Flooring System

The raised access flooring system shall be rated to support a minimum area load of 250 pounds per square foot in the areas where the new workstations and server racks are being added (see attached Appendix A) and have a finish floor height of no less than 16 inches above the top of concrete floor slab.

The existing raised access flooring system within the AOC shall be inspected by the Contractor for load bearing capacity, clearance above top of concrete floor slab, and serviceability. The Contractor shall provide documentation of the current condition of the existing raised access floor system to include but not limited to, the height above top of concrete floor slab, make, model, and manufacturer's recommended load bearing capacity of the existing raised access flooring system to the Government for review.

In the event the existing raised access flooring system shows signs of excessive wear, deterioration, potential failure, does not provide the required clearance above the top of concrete floor slab, or evidence cannot be provided to verify the design load capacity of the system, the raised access flooring system shall be replaced in all areas where new or additional equipment is being installed as well as all defective areas to ensure this facility is complete, usable, and suitable for continued use. Should replacement of portions of the raised access flooring system be necessary, the areas to be replaced will include at minimum, the AOC storage room, potential ITMK secure storage room, and the areas of proposed work stations shown on the drawings. The raised access floor system panels located within or extending into the ITMK secure storage room, shall be secured with bolts to the access floor support system.

For bidding purposed the Contractor is to assume 50% of the raised access floor system located within the area designated on the drawings will need to be replaced. Should individual floor panels identified for replacement extend into adjoining rooms of the facility, the entire floor panel and the associated supports shall be replaced. All areas designated for replacement shall be reviewed and coordinated with the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer Representative. No raised access flooring shall be replaced without prior approval from the Contracting Officer.

3. MECHANICAL

The contractor is to perform an analysis of the existing HVAC system in order to evaluate and verify that the current HVAC system is if fully capable of handling the heat load generated by the additional communications and electrical equipment that is to be installed. It is estimated that the new equipment will generate not less than 6 kW thermal load total. The contractor shall validate his finding with the use of heating and cooling load software in accordance with ASHRAE 62.1. The contractor shall make a recommendation as to the additional capacity needed (if any) and submit these calculations to the government for review. Any new equipment must be approved prior to beng installed. If bid option is exercised, the contractor shall install new HVAC equipment similar to what is currently installed to meet the additional cooling need. The use of R-22 equipment is expressly prohibited.

The contractor shall produce a separate report pertaining to the current state of the HVAC equipment and submit this to the government. The report will determine if part or all of the current HVAC system needs replacement due to signs of excessive wear or possible failure. The contractor shall make a recommendation for the equipment that is to be replaced and validate this report with photographic evidence of the equipment. The government shall review the contractor's report and determine whether this bid option will be exercised.
