PROJECT SCOPE The Contractor shall design and construct four (4) kennel facilities containing fifty (50) individual canine housing units each. The Project will demolish and reconstruct existing kennels (buildings 452, 450, 454, 456) to include concrete slab. The design and construction shall include kennel structure, slab, housing units, fencing, utilities, and drainage. Roof overhangs shall extend beyond the open concrete trench drains to prevent rain water run-off into the trenches. The program is mission essential; Phasing must be considered as training will not stop during design and construction. Construction phasing shall be reviewed and confirmed by the User. It is required that no more than two (2) kennels will be out of service at any one time. The work required to be performed by the contractor shall result in complete and functioning systems and shall consist of, but is not limited to, the following: - Architectural: Demolish existing kennels B-450, B-452, B-454, and B-456 entirely. Construct new kennel in place. Kennel footprint must not decrease nor increase (NEPA violation). Provide design and construction includes but is not limited to steel structure and reinforced CMU, standing seam metal roof, gutter system and chain link fence with lockable gate at each end of corridor. Provide interior reinforced concrete kennels with lockable covers and attached exterior kennel space enclosed with chain link fence with lockable gate for trainer access. Coordinate with the User for preferred gate locking mechanism during the Design Workshop. Provide a 1'-0" ledge (minimum distance) from the edge of the chain link fence enclosed exterior kennel space and the edge of the perimeter drainage trench. Provide roof overhangs to keep weather and driving rain from entering kennel spaces. Roof overhangs shall extend beyond the open concrete trench drains to prevent rain water run-off into the trenches. - Civil/Site Work: Demolish the sanitary sewer branch within 5ft from the slab. Construct new sanitary sewer branch and provide cleanout at point of new construction. Coordination will need to occur regarding the connections of new roof drain systems to downspout drainage system and connections of new trench sanitary sewer drains to the overall sanitary system. All other existing utilities and storm drain facilities outside of the building footprints are assumed to be adequate. - Interior Design: Provide epoxy coating of floor and wall surfaces. Each kennels shall have multiple ceiling fans (without lighting package) installed for air movement throughout. Contractor shall coordinate the quantity and style of ceiling fans with the user. - Plumbing: Each kennel currently has a 1-1/2" water tap and backflow preventer which shall be reused for the new kennels. Contractor shall protect the assembly from damage during removal of the old kennel and construction of the new kennels. If kennel does not have a 1-1/2" water tap and backflow preventer, a 1-1/2" water tap and backflow preventer shall be added into the design and incorporated into the kennel during construction. The water line shall be routed down the center of the kennels under the peak of the roof. Branch lines will be installed to each of the kennels and connected to automatic water fountains for dog drinking water. Additional hose bibs to be installed per the User for wash-down of each kennels. Contractor shall coordinate all hose bib requirements and locations with the User. All domestic water lines shall be insulated and jacketed per Air Force Base requirements and standards. - Fire Protection: Fire alarm systems will be required. All fire alarm systems shall be installed in accordance with NFPA, UFC and local requirements. New kennel construction shall meet current fire code standards. The Contractor shall verify applicable standards for kennel design, construction requirements, hazard classification. Because kennels are mission essential, full compliance and updates to fire codes may be required. At a minimum, heat detectors shall be required. Contractor shall provide fire extinguishers. A fire department connection, sprinkler system and fire alarms may be required. Contractor shall consider wet system sprinkler system. - Electrical: The existing kennels are supplied via individual overhead service drops connected to aerial transformers with an output of 120/240V, 1-phase, 3-Wire located strategically within the kennels common area. Demolish the existing secondary electrical distribution system within each kennel from the final electrical outlets back to the point of attachment of the overhead service drop conductors to facilitate the demolition of the entire kennels. Coordinate the disconnect of the overhead service conductors with the Base Exterior Electrical Shop. Prepare a temporary electrical service with its own independent support structure to provide the power requirements during the demolition and new construction phase. Provide a new electrical distribution system to supply the new kennels power requirements. The new electrical distribution system shall be built to the same standards as the recent SABER project kennels. Reference Attachment E for the SABER project kennels design drawings. - The contractor shall make his own field investigations to verify dimensions and other information shown on government furnished reference drawings. Period of Performance and Magnitude: The magnitude for this requirement is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. The period of performance is 70 days for design and 200 days for construction.
