The Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Research Service, has a requirement for Design-Build Services. Design-Build Services are required for Architectural, Structural, Civil, Mechanical, Plumbing and Fire Protection, and Electrical Systems. The scope of the project consists of constructing approximately 250,000 GSF of laboratory, office, and animal poultry research space in five buildings. This will require that approximately 67,000 GSF of existing buildings will be demolished at various stages of construction to make room for the new buildings while allowing SEPRL to continue full operation throughout construction. Bridging Documents will be designed to a 35% conceptual design except for the BSL-3 building (Building 47) which will be designed to a 65% design completion because of its Mechanical systems complexity for bio safety. The description of the new buildings are as follows: (1) Building 45, will be a 60,000 GSF, two story masonry building that will consist of laboratory, laboratory support spaces, laboratory offices and administration functions. (2) Building 46, will be a 78,000 GSF, masonry building that will consist of one floor of ABSL-2 (Animal Bio Safety Level) poultry holding rooms with procedure areas and hatchery. The facility also requires several showers and an incinerator to ensure that nothing is transferred from the facility that could contaminate local poultry. The building will also have a full penthouse and a partial basement to support the animal floor. The building will also include a section that will link the basements of Buildings 46 & 47, and provide a loading dock to support the buildings. (3) Building 47, will be a 75,000 GSF, masonry building that will consist of one floor of ABSL-3 poultry holding with procedure rooms, ABSL-3AG poultry holding with procedure rooms and BSL-3 Laboratory. The facility also requires several showers, an incinerator, renderer, Effluent Decontamination System (EDS) to ensure that no biological hazards is transferred out of the facility. The building will also have a full penthouse and a partial basement to support the animal floor. (4) Building 48, will be a 25,000 GSF, masonry building that will consist of one floor of thirteen poultry holding rooms. Each room will have its own standalone evaporative cooling and heating system. (5) Building 49, will be a 12,000 GSF, masonry building that will consist of one floor for hatchery and brooding facility and a full size basement that will be used for storage. (6) New utilities to the site will also be required as part of this project. Utilities to the site shall include, water, sewer, electrical, and natural gas. A centralized utility plant will be constructed in the basement of building 47 to support heating and cooling for building 45, 46, and 47. New emergency generators will be required to support a power outage for all buildings on site at the completion of construction. (7) Project will entail some construction of roads, sidewalks and landscaping.
