Criteria shall be taken from the most current references as of the date of issue of the RFP, unless noted otherwise. Referenced codes and standards are minimum acceptable criteria.

1.2.1.1 This RFP and its referenced documents define the necessary criteria to plan and design the Fort Totten Building 200 Full Facility Revitalization. Functional space requirements, including general lighting, communications, power, tempered air requirements and finishes, are contained in the Design Guide for US Army Reserve (UFC 4-171-05), which also provides general criteria and guidance for the design of Army Reserve facilities. Typical functional space furniture layouts are provided in the RFP drawings; Contractor’s designers shall adapt these to the final floor plans.

1.2.1.2 Project drawings and other documents describe Renovation Levels 1,2,3 and 5 which may be characterized as Repair, and Renovation Levels 4, 6 and 7 which may be characterized as Modification / Reconfiguration. While the total Modification / Reconfiguration area comprises less than 50% of the total building area, the Second and Third floors include Modification / Reconfiguration areas which exceed 50% of the total area at these floors. Therefore per UFC 3-600-01 Section 34-1.5.4 the entire building must be characterized as Reconstruction and the entire building must meet the UFC 3- 600-01 and NFPA 101 requirements for new construction. This includes the fire sprinkler system, fire alarm system, means of egress and components, emergency lighting, interior finishes, and protection for vertical openings and from hazards / interior wall ratings. Based on the analysis performed for the Technical Assessment attached to this document, the existing building as currently configured meets occupancy standards.

As components are modified during Design After Award the Designers of Record and the Contractor shall analyze, design and construct the proposed renovation per UFC 3- 600-01 and relevant sections of NFPA 101.

1.2.1.3 Where manufacturer or vendor names are called out, the intention is generally to provide guidance on desired quality and features for the system or material.

Unless the manufacturer or vendor is identified as “sole-source,” or with similar

1.2.4 Design Freedom. Requirements stated in this RFP are minimums.

Innovative, creative, or cost-saving proposals, which meet or exceed these requirements are encouraged, and will be considered more favorably.

1.2.4.1 The project conceptual design was developed by the Army Reserve, the Corps of Engineers, and an A/E design team; this conceptual design is accepted by the Government.

1.2.4.2 The Conceptual Design Drawings, this Statement of Work, and the Outline Technical Specifications, along with the other information and requirements in this RFP, serve as requirements for Contractor building design and construction completion, along with other code, regulatory and professional practice requirements. The extent of development of these RFP documents in no way relieves the successful offeror from responsibility for completing the design, construction documentation, and construction of the facility in conformance with Applicable Criteria and codes.

1.2.4.3 The conceptual design illustrates desired general arrangements, orientation, and adjacencies which are acceptable to the Government – it is not intended to dictate the final layout and image for the project. The Contractor’s designers shall develop and refine the conceptual site and building design in their completion of the design and construction documents. Such development shall be consistent with the criteria and acceptable to the Government.

1.2.4.3.1 Conceptual exterior images - not used

1.2.4.4 The Contractor shall accommodate minor site and building plan changes by the Government in the early stages of the design process, as a normal part of the design development process. The Contractor may adjust spaces, within the overall and specific functional area guidelines, as required to accommodate structural layout, and as necessary to provide adequate space for mechanical, electrical and communication spaces. The mechanical and electrical rooms must provide adequate space to safely and efficiently accommodate equipment operation and maintenance. The spatial relationships and adjacencies in the RFP drawings, however, must be maintained, Part 1 - 6 of 15 unless the Contractor recommends changes to the Government, and the Government accepts such changes.

1.2.4.6 The Contractor’s architect or interior designer shall select the final palette of colors and materials for building interior and exterior to produce a pleasing appearance, coordinated throughout. Coordinate with the requirements of paragraph 6.5 of Part 6 – Interior Design.

1.2.5 Installation Design Guidance.

1.2.6 Energy and Resources Conserving Features. Public Laws 102-486 and 109-58, Executive Order 13423, and Federal Regulations 10 CFR 435, require federal buildings to be designed and constructed to reduce energy consumption in a life-cycle, cost-effective manner using renewable energy sources when economical. Products designed to conserve energy and resources by controlling the amounts of consumed energy or by operating at increased efficiencies should be considered. Minimum requirements for this project are listed in this Statement of Work.

1.2.6.1 Energy conservation techniques shall be considered as they relate to site design, site engineering, building design, and building engineering. Techniques which conserve energy, improve functionality, and can be justified by life cycle cost analysis as cost-effective are encouraged. Integration of energy conservation systems with the building design (lighting, structure, mechanical systems, and esthetics) is essential to facilitate functionality and maximum energy savings. If an alternative energy generation method is proposed for use as the project's primary energy source, documentation shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer, verifying the system’s reliability, life-cycle cost effectiveness, and ability to meet the project’s peak demand.

1.2.7 Sustainable Design. Incorporate sustainable design principles in accordance with the requirements of Part 14 of this Section and Section 01 33 29.00 06.

1.2.8 Antiterrorism and Force Protection Considerations. The site and building have been evaluated with AT requirements. Based on the expected renovation cost of less than 50% of the Project Replacement Value (PRV) for the facility, the criterion cited below does not apply for the defined project scope, except bid options as identified.

Per UFC 4-010-01 Section 1-2, no identified threat or level of protection has been determined in accordance with UFC 4-020-01. Contractor shall continue to coordinate AT design with the Government throughout design and construction.

If the renovation costs exceed 50% of the PRV for the facility, then the project shall comply with the Department of Defense Antiterrorism (AT) Standards for Buildings, UFC 4-010-01, supplemental Army Reserve Implementing Guidance, and other AT criteria listed in Part 2 of this Statement of Work.

Part 1 - 7 of 15

1.7.3.4 Building B200 has been inspected for asbestos by the Government; limited quantities of asbestos containing materials (ACM) were identified. Refer to Attachment H for the 2009 HAZMAT Report. Potential abatement of ACM is described at paragraph

1.1.2.5 and paragraph 1.9.1.5. Prior to any building demolition, the Contractor shall perform a thorough demolition-level asbestos inspection in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. The goal of the inspection is to identify ACM, including that which may be located inside walls, above ceilings, under floors, and other inaccessible areas. The inspection shall be conducted by an accredited asbestos building inspector. Any ACM identified as a result of this inspection in excess of that identified in the attached HAZMAT report shall be treated as a changed condition.

1.7.3.5 The attached HAZMAT report assumes that some lead-based paint (LBP) may be present. Encapsulation of previously painted surfaces via new paint is an acceptable mitigation strategy for building elements which are not otherwise modified.

The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 - Lead Exposure in Construction during building and structure demolition.

The hazardous waste criterion for lead wastes is established under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Subtitle C, as 5.0 mg/L measured with the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). In addition, the crushing or recycling of materials with LBP is strictly prohibited.

1.7.4 Site Development Constraints. The Contractor shall understand that the project area is located with a coastal area and flood hazard area and need to take the necessary measure to perform work within this area. The Contractor shall comply with the Environmental Assessment Report to minimize the impact to the items identified in the report.

1.7.5 Contractor’s Use of the Site. The project site and Building B200 are currently occupied by the Government and shall be partially occupied during the full period of construction. During construction the Contractor shall have relatively free use of the site and building within limits of work coordinated by the Contractor and the Government, but certain areas of the building will remain completely operational and occupied. Arms vaults and drill hall shall remain operable during construction. Existing SIPR room shall be inaccessible to the Contractor. Proposed sealing and restriping of POV lots may affect Government access to MEP lots and OMS and other site functions.

Potential shutdown and switchover of electrical or telecommunications facilities must be coordinated and scheduled with the Government. Refer to attached drawings for construction access limits. Contractor staging and partial demolition and construction of project site and renovation components must be performed according to a detailed project schedule prepared by the Contractor and coordinated and approved by the Government. The Contractor will not be allowed access to the building for construction and demolition purposes until 180 days after NTP unless otherwise specifically approved by the Government. Building surveys shall be permitted as coordinated with the Government.
