A/E to provide services for preparation of design documents and construction period services for Construct MRI & SPEC-CT HCHT Site Prep Building, Project # 557-CSI-378. The design must, at a minimum, be in accordance with all applicable codes (NFPA, JCAHO, UBC, and EPA) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) publications (Master Construction Specifications, Construction Standards, etc.). If any asbestos or lead paint abatement should become necessary, the design shall be done by a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH). The design and as-built documents shall bear the CIH name. All asbestos and lead paint abatement design shall incorporate the latest requirements of VA, federal, state, and local authority having jurisdiction. The project shall be designed to attempt to achieve an energy consumption level that is at least 30% below the level achieved under ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 ( if life-cycle cost effective). Use Appendix G of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 to document the energy savings achieved by the design. Should a 30% reduction in energy consumption savings prove to be unattainable per life-cycle cost analysis, A/E shall evaluate alternative designs at 5% successive decrements in order to identify the most energy-efficient design that is life-cycle cost effective. A Savings-to-Investment Ratio worksheet shall be provided with each design submittal to show energy savings. The following parameters shall be used for performing the analysis: 20 year life-cycle period for system comparison Use Public domain programs such as TRACE, E-CUBE, Carrier E20-II, EnergyPlus, etc. 3% Discount Factor All drawings and specifications shall be submitted by A/E to VA on computer disc at the completion of the project.

Each individual Specification shall be submitted as a single MS Word version 2016 formatted document. In addition to the individual Specification submittals, an overall document that compiles all Specifications into one, single-spaced document is also required. One additional disk containing electronic copies of all drawings in portable document format (.pdf) shall be submitted for the Contracting Officer s use.
