II Project Number: #518-20-106 1.3 Scope of Work Provide all professional architectural and engineering (A/E) services necessary to develop complete construction drawings, specifications, cost estimates, project phasing, site visits and construction period administration associated with upgrading the fire alarm system in buildings 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 33, 61, 62, 70, 78A, 80, 81 and 82 in accordance with Chapter 260 VA Design Guide and Space Criteria. All services provided shall be within the constraints of the construction budget consistent with the Veterans Affairs (VA s) project team goals as prioritized during project meetings and field surveys. Conduct preliminary project scope meetings and site survey investigations to develop the necessary elements for conceptual layout schemes with proposed alternatives consistent with the VA s project team goals as prioritized during preliminary project meetings, field surveys and studies. Enclosed in the Solicitation is previous (FA Redlines 2) contract as-built record sets showing extent of previous work carried out. This drawing set should not be considered as boilerplate and should be checked by due diligence during the design phase. The intent of this project is to upgrade fire alarm devices and panels and include, but is not limited to: Upgrade fire alarm notification devices to speaker-strobes in all locations. Upgrade all fire alarm signaling devices in all locations. Add additional notification and signaling devices where required by NFPA code or VA Design Guide. Upgrade panels to addressable where required. Upgrade fiber and copper connections for all existing fire alarm systems. This project is a follow-on from the Upgrade Fire Alarm System Ph. I project, and those documents will be available to the architect/engineer for coordination. This project shall completely interface and connect with the systems installed in the prior project. The former project upgraded systems primarily in-patient care buildings, this project primarily addresses the remaining non-patient care buildings on the campus. Design should be incorporated with high efficiency components, controls compatibility and reporting, commissioning, and air quality controls. These areas are required to be designed to meet VA requirements, Mass. DEP, EPA and other applicable environmental overseers. Work will include, but not be limited to, architectural, life safety systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, and other specialty consultants required pertinent to the project requirements within the constraints of the construction budget consistent with the VA s project team goals as prioritized during project meetings and field surveys.

DESIGN BUDGET 5.1 A/E is responsible to develop a design that can be built within budget and function as intended without change orders. The design must be based on the reality of existing site conditions and not solely on As-Built drawings. The A/E as part of their site investigation is responsible for confirming all existing conditions that may affect the project construction. 5.2 Cost Estimating: A/E shall be responsible, as part of the Quality Assurance Plan, to develop procedures for tracking estimated construction costs throughout the project design. Cost estimates submitted as part of the submission requirements shall not be used as the sole method of meeting this requirement. The A/E shall notify the COR when estimated construction costs exceed the construction budget. The A/E shall be responsible for proposing alternates to bring the project cost estimate within the construction budget. A/E shall modify design elements as necessary to keep the project cost estimate within the construction funding level. These changes shall be made at no additional cost to the Government. 5.3 Construction Budget: Refer to Supplement A 5.4 Deduct Alternates: Shall be utilized in the best interest of the Government for market condition variations to maximize the use of available Government funds. The Government shall select the proposed alternates from the A/E recommendations. Deduct Alternates shall not be used to bring the projected project costs within construction funding. These alternates are designed to assure a contract award and are in addition to the requirement to have a project design and estimate at or below construction funding. 5.5 Add Alternates: Shall not be used. VETBIZ will be used to determine SDVOSB/VOSB status therefore firms need to be registered with the applicable NAICS Code 541330 at the time SF330 s is submitted.
