PART 1

DESIGN OBJECTIVES, AND FUNCTIONAL AND AREA REQUIREMENTS

1.1 SCOPE OF WORK.

The objective of this solicitation is to obtain a renovated Barracks facility that will operate efficiently and serve the Transient Training Soldiers at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst effectively for many years to come. The Transient Training Soldiers Barracks is a place that will house unaccompanied enlisted personnel who will be conducting training exercises at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The existing Building 5502 was originally constructed in 1954, used as a barracks, kitchen and dining hall and has had upgrades including changing the dining area into an office and storage area for the kitchen staff to use while preparing meals for troops in the field.

Currently, the facility does not meet the needs of a Transient Training Soldiers barracks but needs to be renovated to provide additional barracks, upgrade the mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems along with upgrading the finishes.

1.1.1 Requirements stated in this RFP are minimums; design and construction shall meet or exceed the requirements. The design and technical criteria contained and cited in this RFP establish minimum standards for design and construction quality. Innovative, creative, and life cycle cost effective solutions which meet or exceed these requirements are encouraged.

1.1.2 This project shall consist of the design and renovation/conversion of existing building 5502 to a Transient Training Soldiers Barracks facility complete with upgrades to the exterior finishes, a new / replacement of the existing asphalt roof, a new elevator, required utilities, communications, electric, HVAC, fire protection/alarm systems, EMCS, signage for force protection measures, exterior building mounted lighting, site improvements and grading on a Government-owned facility at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey.

1.1.3 Contractor shall provide design for furniture and equipment to be purchased and installed by the Government.

1.1.4 Bid Options. The Government has identified Option Items which may be included in the project, if available funds allow and government authorization is given. The Option Items are listed individually on the Price Breakout Schedule and described at 1.9 below.

1.2 DESIGN OBJECTIVES.

1.2.1 Applicable Criteria. Applicable design and construction criteria references are listed in this Statement of Work and in the Outline Technical Specifications. Criteria shall be taken from the most current references as of the date of issue of the RFP, unless noted otherwise.

1.2.1.1 This RFP and its referenced documents define the necessary criteria to plan and design the renovated barracks facility. Functional space requirements, including general lighting, communications, power, tempered air requirements, finishes, etc. are contained within the RFP and its referenced documents and design guides. Typical functional space furniture layouts and inventories are provided in the RFP drawings (these drawings are preliminary only. It is up to the contractors DOR to design to the RFP’s requirements); Contractor’s designers shall adapt these to the final floor plans.

01 02 00.01 48 - 2

1.2.1.2 Where specific manufacturer or vendor names are called out in this RFP, the intention is to provide the desired quality and salient features for the system or material. Unless the manufacturer or vendor is identified as “sole-source”, or with similar language, the Contractor may provide an equivalent or better system or material of another vendor or manufacturer

1.2.1.3 The project shall be designed and constructed using English (inch-pound) units of measurement.

1.2.2 Primary Consideration. The primary consideration of this solicitation is to obtain a fully functional renovated Barracks Facility within funds available, and to maximize design quality.

Offerors are encouraged to review the RFP to familiarize themselves with all RFP requirements.

1.2.3 Design Quality. Design quality is achieved through the optimization of interior planning, integration of the building with the site, sustainability, selection of building materials and systems for low-cost maintenance and operation, and an overall balance of esthetics and functionality. The Army Reserve encourages a project design of award-winning caliber.

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, 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.

1.2.4.4 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 spaces 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, unless the Contractor recommends changes to the Government, and the Government accepts such changes.

1.2.4.5 The Contractor shall develop and refine the exterior image and esthetics of the building as part of the design development process. The Contractor shall utilize materials, 01 02 00.01 48 - 3 detailing, fenestration, lighting and ornamentation to develop a high-quality exterior image for the facility.

PART 6

ARCHITECTURAL AND INTERIOR DESIGN

6.1 DESIGN GOAL.

The overall architectural design goal for the facility is to provide a functional, visually appealing facility that is a source of pride for facility users. The RFP conceptual building drawings present a building renovation scheme which considers the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL) Barracks Building 5502 functional requirements and which has been accepted by the Govern-ment. This does not preclude the Contractor from making improvements to the design so long as such improvements are consistent with the requirements of the RFP and acceptable to the Government. The building design is conceptual; the Contractor shall finalize all elements of the design, including exact dimensions. In completing the design, the Contractor will be allowed some latitude in manipulating the plans and elevations to improve functional layout, to accom-modate structural, mechanical, electrical and other systems, and to allow flexibility for de-sign/esthetic expression. The spatial relationships and adjacencies, however, must be main-tained, unless the Contractor recommends changes to the Government, and the Government approves such changes. The Room Requirements are included in Attachment A.

6.1.1 Site Planning Objectives. Refer to Part 3 Site Civil Engineering of this Statement of Work.

6.1.2 Exterior Design Objectives. The exterior design of Building 5502 shall meet the re-quirements of the JB MDL Installation Design Guide and shall enhance the visual environment of the surrounding area. Exterior materials and detailing shall comply with the provisions of this RFP. Use durable, low-maintenance materials.

6.1.2.1 The Army Reserve and JB MDL have accepted the conceptual building plan, includ-ing the color scheme as discussed herein. Any appreciable change to the building footprint re-quires Army Reserve and JB MDL acceptance.

6.1.2.2 The existing concrete stairs, in four locations leading up to the first floor on the bar-racks are in poor condition and are spalling, cracking and falling apart. These concrete stairs and steel railings are to be removed and replaced with new concrete stairs. Refer to the RFP Drawings for the location of all the exterior stairs that will be removed and replaced.

6.1.3 Interior Design Objectives. The interior design for the building shall be to present an efficient interior space that utilizes durable materials and furnishings to convey an organized space situated around the Barracks Building functions. Finishes and furnishings shall be easily maintained and/or replaced when they have reached their useful life. Interior surfaces shall be light in color, avoiding trendy or bright color schemes. Where feasible, spaces shall be ar-ranged to allow re-arrangement of furniture to meet future needs.

6.1.3.1 The RFP provides basic finishes and a color palette for most spaces. Contractor’s designers are required to develop a more comprehensive finish and color palette for acceptance by the Government, including accent colors and finishes, especially for common-use areas of the building. Such finish and color palette shall include but are not limited to, doors, door frames and window frames.

6.1.3.2 Functional space requirements shall be as noted in this Statement of Work. The

JB MDL, New Jersey

01 02 00.06 48 -2 Amendment 0002

Contractor’s designer shall coordinate the layout with the Government. The layout shall be de-veloped in conformance with the requirements of this RFP and the Design Guide, for the ac-ceptance from the Government.

6.2 GENERAL CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS.

The goal of the renovation of Building 5502 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is to turn a run-down barracks building into a fully functional, healthy, and sustainable Barracks facility to be used for a Transient Training Barracks. The renovation includes 3 stories above ground which are currently serving as barracks and a functioning kitchen that is used to prepare meals for troops in the field training. A sub-grade basement has a fully functional arms vault but will be reduced in size by providing new walls using pre-manufactured panels that meet AR-190 re-quirements with an Intrusion Detection system. Successful renovation of the existing facility will require extensive planning and foresight, as the structure is not conducive to any major struc-tural modification. The structural shell of the building shall remain in it’s entirety, while the interi-or walls will be completely demolished. The existing facility was also built with hazardous mate-rials that will have to be mitigated. Attachment I - Historical Drawings of Similar Barracks Build-ings is provided to convey ceiling clearances and structural limitations.

The final configuration will contain 20 (2+0) barracks, a lounge area, day room, laundry room, storage, mechanical and electrical room, teleconference room, elevator, elevator machine room, storage and restroom on the first floor and 18 (2+0) barracks on the second and third floors each for a total of 56 new barracks. The second and third floor shall include a Day Room and a Laundry Room. The basement will be renovated by adding new premanufactured walls to create a new compliant arms vault. The vault is required to be separated into 4 distinct sections with caging. The Room Requirements are included in Attachment A.

The existing kitchen, office and storage rooms will be demolished and renovated with new bar-racks. The existing kitchen equipment will be removed by the contractor and delivered to Build-ing 5021 by the Contractor.

Barracks include a living/kitchenette area, and a bath area including a water closet, lavatory, and a shower. Each room may contain a mechanical closet, as well as a built-in cabinetry in-cluding a location for a residential-type microwave and 7.5 cu. ft. top-freezer refrigerator. Micro-waves and refrigerators are to be provided by the Contractor (Bona Fide Need Option). Rooms are to be T.V. cable ready but are not required to have telephone outlets.

Day Rooms are incorporated on each floor for the purpose of officer recreation: watching televi-sion, playing cards, and other recreational activities. A primary Day Room is located on the first

JB MDL, New Jersey

01 02 00.06 48 -3 Amendment 0002 floor and is sized to accommodate larger activities.

Laundry rooms on each floor shall include 4 washers and 4 dryers per floor. Space is provided for units to be side by side, but units may be stackable type as well. A laundry sink is also pro-vided within the room.

The existing stairs shall remain with the interior finishes renovated. The stairs shall have rubber tread and landings provided, the walls shall be repainted and the handrails and guardrails re-placed with shop-finished handrails and guardrails to meet NFPA 101. Concrete steps shall be repaired, so rubber stair treads will adhere properly. Contractor shall provide all design, materi-al, equipment and labor required to complete this work.

An elevator shall be incorporated into the facility, but will not serve the basement. The elevator shall be the holeless hydraulic type. The elevator will have a minimum rated load capacity of 2,500 lbs. The elevator will follow the requirements of UFC 3-490-06. The elevator may need to penetrate the concrete roof / structure and extend into the attic. Contractor may need to alter the existing wood rafters to allow for needed height for the elevator shaft. The elevator shall not ex-tend beyond the roof decking.

The existing access to the attic is provided with a ladder and hatch located in the existing third floor bathrooms. The contractor shall close up the existing openings. New fire rated access hatch and permanent wall mounted ladder shall be located in each stair well on the third floor.

As described in UFC 1-200-02: 2-2.6.2.1 Storage and Collection of Recyclables, the contractor shall provide the space for the storage and collection of recyclables.

As a bid option, the loading dock, concrete stairs & ramp, canopy, and associated roofing and flashing shall be demolished. If this option is selected, new work as part of the option shall in-clude a new stoop & stair; new fascia, soffit, and gutter; and the exposed wall shall be patched, repaired, and parged as necessary to create a consistent appearance with the rest of the build-ing.

6.2.1 The exterior walls are clad with Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS). The EIFS shall be patched in areas of deficiency, a troweled on ¼” thick skim coat of EIFS applied over the entire EIFS surface and then the EIFS shall be repainted.

6.2.2 The roofing system is asphalt shingles. The roof shingles shall be removed and replaced with new shingles. The new shingles will be secured to a new layer of nail base roof insulation panels that are attached to the existing roof rafters. The soffit will be closed off and insulated.

This will allow the attic to be kept at a temperature above freezing and allow the sprinkler sys-tem to be a wet pipe throughout the building.

6.2.3 The gutters, downspouts, trim and flashing shall be replaced.

6.2.4 The exterior windows shall be replaced, and in some cases new windows shall be add-

ed. All windows shall comply with AT/FP requirements per UFC 4-010-01. Windows are typically part of a larger assembly which includes insulated metal panels.
