Comprehensive building and furnishings related interior design services are required. Access for individuals with disabilities will be provided. Air Conditioning (estimated at 500 tons) will be provided. Additionally, a comprehensive energy design/model and analysis will be developed concurrent with the facility design effort for all facility systems with regard to energy efficiency, consumption, storage, and generation, to include efficient facility envelope design and performance characteristics; as well as primary and back-up power systems in order to maximize facility energy performance and minimize energy impacts on JBLM infrastructure. The design contract scope of work will include AE design support, in conjunction with Corps of Engineers staff, during solicitation and execution of the construction contract associated with solicitation amendments, as well as post-award Requests for Information (RFI); Architect's Supplemental Instructions (ASI); design support for construction contract modifications; submittal review; construction cost estimating support using MCACES for construction contract modifications; post-award construction schedule (Primavera P6) support; periodic and phase-point construction site visits; and regular participation in project construction meetings and communications (remote and in-person).
