The University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), which is operated under Prime Contract DE-AC02-05CH11231 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), intends to subcontract for professional Architect-Engineering (AE) Commissioning Services in support of a new General Purpose Laboratory (GPL) Building that is part of the Seismic Life-Safety, Modernization, and Replacement of General Purpose Buildings, Phase 2 Project. The new General Purpose Laboratory (GPL) component of the Seismic Phase 2 project involves the construction of a 43,000 GSF laboratory building with a construction value of approximately $35M. The GPL's site will be located in the Old Town area of the LBNL campus, on the site currently occupied by Building 25. Project goals for the GPL include the development of a flexible, state-of-the-art facility to accommodate a diverse range of scientific research activities. The building is designed as a 3-story structure with the building entry located at the northern end of the building. Offices are generally aligned along the western edge of the building with laboratory spaces aligned along the eastern edge of the building. A third party commissioning agent will be engaged to review design documents to ascertain performance and operational test requirements for all major building systems. A commissioning plan to test and evaluate system performance both individually and collectively against approved design criteria will be prepared during the design period. Functional performance tests will be established and all designated systems will be tested against the performance criteria. Results will be recorded, and corrective actions initiated when required. The University intends to select one firm to provide assistance to LBNL, and to LBNL's Architect/Engineer and Construction Manager/General Contractor in the commissioning of systems and equipment associated with this new facility.
