(GSF)) and will be designed and constructed to include, but not limited to, the
following: Admin space for each agency; technical service/surveillance
countermeasures and ADP/operations lab; armory; academic instruction spaces;
conference center, VTC rooms; public works/facility management spaces;
graphics/printing and reproduction shop; equipment research area; warehouse;
record storage; vehicle loading/delivery areas; mailrooms; UPS system areas;
watch center; IT center; matter shredder space; police station; gate/sentry
houses with truck inspection & holding areas; exchange service outlets;
Installation restaurant; physical fitness facility; child development center;
and miscellaneous other specialized spaces & facility support spaces.
Extensive SCIF and raised flooring requirements are included throughout the
facility/facilities. The project includes, but is not limited to, all or part of
the following; roofing systems, flooring systems, ceiling systems, interior and
exterior partitions, millwork, office systems, signs, interior and exterior
finishes, windows, doors, skylights, insulation, vertical transportation
(stairs, elevators, escalators, and ramps), demolition, etc. In addition, the

HVAC, plumbing, and lighting systems; storage systems, intrusion detection
systems (IDS), shielding and other related features. Major site improvements
include, but are not limited to; site and building utility connections for
potable water, sanitary and storm sewers, natural gas, electrical, telephone,
area distribution node (ADN) building and equipment, and local area network
(LAN). Other site improvements include; paving, exterior site and building
lighting, roadway access, roadway expansion and/or relocation, major parking
requirements, sidewalks, earthwork, grading, storm water management features,
landscaping, and other hard-scaping & soft-scaping requirements.
Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) requirements are part of this project,
hence the A-E shall be experienced with UFC 4-010-01, DoD Minimum Antiterrorism
Standards for Buildings (most recent version). Sustainable design features are
required in design and engineering work, hence A-E is required to be experienced
with the Sustainable Building Technical Manual Green Building Design (per USGBC
LEED). The A-E shall conform design standards to EPA Energy Policy Act of 2005
(EPAct 2005), which calls for energy reduction of new facilities by 30% beyond
ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 threshold and applying applicable sustainable design
features that are life cycle cost effective. The selected A-E must be capable of
performing storm water management (SWM) designs and identifying/obtaining
associated Commonwealth and Federal environmental permits. The A-E (or their
subcontractor) must be professionally licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia
for erosion sediment control (ESC) and SWM work. Interior design services may
be required, hence A-E shall be familiar with mandatory sources for procurement,
i.e. Federal Prison Industries (FPI), GSA schedules, etc. Familiarity with the
metric system of measurement is required. The prime A-E must have experience in
preparing RFP documents for large multi-phased projects and have a quality
assurance program for this type of work. The possibility of hazardous
materials, i.e., asbestos, lead paint, PCD, etc. may exist at the proposed site.
If hazardous materials are encountered or suspected, the A-E shall be required
to conduct hazardous material removal surveys, including; testing and sampling,
provide design removal procedures and prepare construction contract documents in
accordance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to such hazardous
materials. All hazardous materials licenses and/or accreditations necessary for
the locality of the potential sites are required by the A-E firm or it?s
subcontractors. The A-E must have experience in developing ?design build? RFPs
for large construction projects. The intent of this contract is to provide
architectural and engineering effort as necessary to develop sound RFP documents

be prepared by the construction contractor and/or their design agent. To do
this, anticipated RFP development related work tasks include, but are not
limited to, the following: validation of existing programming, space and
associated outfitting requirements documentation; provision of additional
facility and site programming, etc. as required; criteria coordination;
documentation of existing conditions and available utility capacities;
identification of utility connection points; topographic surveys; and
geotechnical services, soil & environmental borings. Market value construction
cost estimates (SUCCESS Cost Estimating Systems or tri-service Parametric Cost
Engineering System (PACES) will be required for each RFP interim submission.
Other services, such as technical reports, studies, site investigations, DD Form
1391 packages, design programming, concepts, other surveys, assistance in source
selection technical panel reviews (Design Evaluation Teams), reviews of design
submissions provided by the construction contractor?s design agent, shop drawing
reviews, construction consultations & inspections, Title II, and similar types
