A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK WITH APPROXIMATE QUANTITIES ARE AS FOLLOWS: It is the government's intent through the issuance of this RFP to obtain a design/build deliverable of the two headquarters facilities named above. Drawings and specifications will be issued with the RFP, which convey the full design intent of the facilities and the infrastructure. With respect to this, certain elements of the design have been carried to a level of completion. As part of the design/build RFP package, the architectural designs for both buildings shall be defined for both interior and exterior characteristics, while other areas of design have been carried to less of a level of completion. These lesser areas of design will afford the design/build contractor more latitude and flexibility, within design/build RFP requirements, to consider alternative design actions. The NORAD/USSPACECOM Headquarters facility shall have a designed area of approximately 12,000+ square meters, while the US Army Space Command Operational Headquarters facility is approximately 9,500+ square meters. The facilities shall have controlled access entries and Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) design elements. Aesthetically, both buildings are two story structures with basements and shall portray exterior appearances that are modern and highly technical in nature by utilizing metal and cast stone wall panels and glass in order to create an overall "Space Complex" image. Roofing shall be single-ply elastomeric membrane type except in areas in which height exceeds the general roof line. In this case, standing seam metal roofing shall be utilized. Infrastructure work shall include roads, parking, landscaping, irrigation, security lighting, electrical distribution, gas sanitary sewer and water lines, and storm drainage. Interior walls and partitions shall be a combination of fixed and demountable types with finishes that are to be low maintenance. Interior furnishings will include systems furniture (prewired workstations), designed around a corporate open office setting, as well as freestanding furniture, to be utilized throughout each facility. A central chilled water and heating water plant supporting both facilities shall be part of project. The HVAC system shall be automated by use of Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS). Each of the headquarters facilities shall be fire sprinklered. Backup power supply considerations shall be part of the project. Electrical work will include general interior and lighting, with automated systems for fire alarm detection, intrusion detection, access control, public address, CCTV, communications including local area networks (LANs) and fiber optics. Force protection elements, both involving the project site and facilities, shall be part of this project. Both facilities will utilize TEMPEST filtering requirements for transmission security.
