Following is a synopsis of each project; AFFS will provide the most highly qualified firm with the full Statement of Work for their use in preparation of their fee proposal. XTLF 001018R2 REPAIR OPERATIONS GROUP, F672 Complete design and development of construction contract documents for the repair of F672. The A-E will utilize the previously completed CCR as the basis of design. The A-E will work with VAFB and Government personnel to both review and confirm design requirements stated in the CCR during an initial project charrette. It is a requirement of the design charrette that the A-E team not only verify the current scope requirements but also integrate requirements for installing new flight simulator units and required support spaces within the existing facility footprint to support the T-7A beddown. The A-E will utilize the modified CCR to develop construction documents, that upon completion of the repair project, provide VAFB with a complete and useable facility. The existing F672 facility houses the 71st Operations Group (OG). The primary purpose of the facility is to conduct simulator-based training as a component of the Air Force pilot training program. The renovation will repair and modernize the essential facility systems, exterior enclosure, roofing, interior construction and finishes, plumbing, mechanical, fire protection and electrical. Realign administrative spaces and simulator spaces to match new mission requirements, comply with Air Force standards, and comply with building codes. VAFB anticipates that relocating the existing T-38 simulators into another facility on Vance AFB, F174, will simplify the construction of the F672 renovation project. This will allow for simulator consolidation and space optimization within F672 and the installation of new flight simulators as part of the T-7A beddown within the existing F672 footprint. VAFB, the Government, and the A-E team may identify additional simulator relocations within F672 during the design charrette. An on-site, temporary, modular facility for use by the facility occupants during construction will require notional design. This project requires the A-E to provide sequencing strategies which, when executed by the construction contractor minimize mission interruptions to the greatest extent possible. It will be a requirement of the construction project that the contractor protect and make available for continuous service, all simulators remaining in the facility during renovation activities. All formal project submissions during the duration of this project require updated estimates of probable construction costs. This project requires the A-E team to conduct a thorough site investigation of existing site conditions to document the existing conditions. XTLF 28-1017CR CONVERT T-1 COMBS WAREHOUSE TO T-38 SIMULATOR TEMPORARY SPACE, F174 (CONCEPTUAL CHARRETTE REPORT (CCR)) Develop a CCR which defines the scope necessary for the relocation of existing simulators from F672 to F174 and where the project's outcome will safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of all building occupants, including any facility visitors. The CCR will contain the following, a description of the work in both narrative form and in drawings, an analysis of existing conditions, a sensitivity/risk assessment based on the evaluation of opportunities and constraints associated with the CCR solution, an estimate of probable construction cost, and an estimated construction timeline. F174 is currently the T-1 Combs Warehouse facility. Constructed in 1996, this 17,367 gross square foot facility has a building condition index (BCI) of 83. The CCR will address renovating the facility to provide for the relocation of T-38 simulators and associated support spaces from F672 to F174 within the existing facility footprint. The renovations will include creating multiple, fully enclosed rooms for each type of simulator, new cooling systems for the simulator rooms and the surrounding room area, upgrades to the facility's electrical system to support the load generated by the simulators, and other general renovations as required for building support spaces and toilet rooms. Required spaces may also include offices and briefing/debriefing rooms. Additionally, the renovation solution must include building systems rated as Amber or Red in the BUILDER system which will impact the ability of the facility to support the new requirements. To create the CCR, the A-E is to perform a detailed visual survey of the existing facility cited above using all applicable UFCs and Air Force guidance and provide detailed documentation of observed deficiencies which will impact the ability of the facility to support the new requirements. Observations and recommendations include: Analyzing and providing recommendations for ABA compliant pathways between adjacent parking areas and all building entrances. Evaluation of the entire facility for compliance with current ABA criteria. Recommendations must be provided for addressing all observed deficiencies. Evaluate elements such as required clearances, reach ranges, mounting heights for accessible components, audio and visual alarms, and signage. Evaluation of the building's exterior conditions and identifying strategies for repairing or replacing degraded systems. This includes all exterior walls, doors, glazed openings, louvers, joints, sealants, and roofing. Analyzing the existing HVAC systems. Any new HVAC system selection will be based on a Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) selection. In addition, multiple LCCAs and the overall building energy modeling will be the basis for selection of all elements of the energy footprint of the building (i.e., HVAC, hot water heater, lighting, envelope insulation, roof insulation, window insulation, etc.) in accordance with UFC 1-200-02, High Performance Sustainable Buildings (HPSB). Identifying the impact of full compliance with Executive Order 14057, Electrification of Federal Facilities for all building systems which are significantly modified or replaced. Costs and impact to existing building infrastructure and space to be documented for each applicable system. Evaluating hot water systems and plumbing fixtures, and providing relevant recommendations. Evaluating and providing recommendations for lighting solutions for use in areas affected by the proposed renovation. The A-E will evaluate the existing space utilization against the current Customer Authorization Worksheet for the proposed building occupants and compare both data sets to the space requirements identified in DAFMAN 32-1084. The A-E will utilize this comparison to inform floor plan solutions that are part of the CCR document. The CCR will require sustainability design and identification of strategies for compliance with either the GBCI "Guiding Principles Assessment for Department of Defense" program or the GBI "Department of Defense Guiding Principles Compliance for New Construction & Comprehensive Replacement" program as applicable. The CCR will include estimates of probable construction cost and must be prepared using the Corps of Engineers Micro Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (MCACE) - Second Generation (MII). XTLF 28-1017 CONVERT T-1 COMBS WAREHOUSE TO SIMULATOR SPACE, F174 A-E will utilize the completed F174 CCR document as the basis of design for the design and development of construction contract documents for the conversion of F714 from a warehouse to a simulator facility. The A-E's work will result in construction documents which will enable the conversion of the facility to one that is complete and useable as a simulator facility upon completion of the project. It is anticipated that F174 will be renovated prior to the F672. The design and development of construction contract documents may be required to be executed concurrently with the design of F672, upon availability of funds, to ensure contract documents are completed and contracted with sufficient time to allow for streamlined construction execution of F672. Vance AFB is responsible for a separate contract for the execution of the F672 simulators into F174. All formal project submissions during the duration of this project require updated estimates of probable construction costs. 3.
