The Tennessee Army National Guard and the USPFO for Tennessee intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit a single, firm fixed-price, construction contract for the building of a 50,876 SF Army National Guard Readiness Center at Tullahoma, Tennessee. This project shall be constructed and documented in accordance with the Army National Guard Design and Federal Acquisition Regulations. The design has been developed in accordance with United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Sustainable Design LEED initiative, Silver level, but will not be formally certified. Construction will satisfy the LEED Silver design. The project consists of a two-story military readiness center with brick/block cavity wall construction and structural steel framing. The foundation system is poured in place spread footings. The center has a low slope EPDM membrane roofing and some amount of standing metal-seam roofing. It has concrete substrate floors, with some areas covered in VCT, ceramic tile or carpet. The mechanical systems utilize energy efficient heat pumps and air handlers with a cooling tower and optional geothermal system. The electrical equipment will be controlled with an Energy Management Control System and is augmented with an emergency power generator backup option. There are additional electrical measurement and verification equipment included, along with energy efficient lighting controls. Supporting facilities include a maintenance training work bay of the same construction type, military vehicle parking with access roads and POV parking, security fencing and motor pool lighting, vehicle wash system facility, and sidewalks. Paving consists of asphalt and concrete areas of various strengths necessary to support military vehicle traffic with a heavy-duty paving option. There is site prep required with clearing and grading, and erosion controls. Extension of gas, electric, sewer, water and communication utilities to the building site is necessary. Physical security measures with maximum feasible standoff distance from roads, parking areas and vehicle unloading areas have been incorporated with berms, heavy landscaping and a retention pond. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems commissioning is to be conducted in accordance with the plans and specifications to be posted with the solicitation by an external agency.
