- Description
- NA Scope of Services required: Design services to prepare the design-build RFP for a whole barracks complex for Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield (WSAAF). The project is split into phases. Phase 1 is in the FY04 program and currently approved for A/E selection. The additional phase(s) have not yet been approved for A/E selection, but Phase 2 is programmed for FY05. It is the intent of the Government to award one A/E Contract for all Barracks Projects at Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield. Phase 1 will be the basic cont ract and all additional phases, when authorized, will be modifications to the basic contract.Phase 1 includes one junior enlisted barracks (238 PN and 270 rooms, approx. 100,000 GSF) with soldier community facilities, one brigade headquarters (approx. 15,0 00 GSF), two battalion headquarters (each approx. 19,000 GSF), a dinning facility (approx. 16,500 GSF) and three company operating facilities (COF) (each of which are approx. 10,000 GSF). Barracks includes living/sleeping rooms, semi-private baths, walk-i n closets and service area. The soldier community facilities include day room, bulk storage, activity rooms, etc, per the standard design. Install an intrusion detection system (IDS) in the company operating facilities. Supporting facilities include ele ctric service, water, sewer, telephone, cable TV, security and street lighting, fire protection and alarm systems, paving walks, storm drainage, information systems, and site improvements. Environmental landfill issues provide gas monitoring of a nearby c losed landfill. Site improvements include filling a sand borrow pit, removing WWII concrete range wall, and removal of buried tires, mattresses and other unknown debris. Access for the handicapped will be provided in the headquarters buildings, into the first floor administrative area of the COF?s and the soldier community facilities. Provide comprehensive building and furnishings related interior design services. Air Conditioning: 590 tons.Possible additional phase(s) are a continuation of the airfield master plan barracks complex. Additional phase(s) include a three story 240 room unaccompanied enlisted personnel housing (UEPH) (approx. 88,000 GSF) facility with a built-in soldier community building (SCB), a multi-purpose ball field, one Battalion hea dquarters (approx. 19,000), ten Company Operating Facilities (COF) (ranging from approx. 6,500 to 10,000 GSF), and associated roadways, drives and parking. Utilities (water sewer, electric and gas) will consist mainly of lateral connections to the Roadway s, or nearest service points. The main utilities along new roadways or existing or programmed under an ongoing project. In accordance with the new DA standards, junior enlisted barracks are authorized 34 GSM per PN, which includes soldier community areas . Under new standard, space is taken from the SCB areas and allocated to the barracks rooms. As a result, this provides additional living room space and meets the space criteria for E-5/6 personnel, justifying a single barrack room instead of two (under the old standard). Therefore, the number of rooms equals the number of personnel.Technical capability required: A/E services for the preparation of a design build RFP to include plans, specifications, analysis, reports, and cost estimates. AE services to support the project during the design build phase. Possible contaminated soil may be included. Topographic surveys and subsurface explorations will be included.
