Project Description:
Construct an 80,800 square feet Secure Operations and Administration Facility (SOAF) Addition and multilevel parking structure. Addition will extend the secure boundary of the existing Nicholson building, and include critical laboratory spaces on the first two levels, with workstations and meeting areas on the third level that are structured to accommodate mission, collaboration and training either in a secure or non-secure environment. The addition will tie into the 2nd, 3rd and 4th levels of the existing facility, and include raised access flooring, elevators and restrooms, a fire detection system, fire suppression systems, and mechanical systems that are independent but tied into the existing Nicholson building systems chiller and EMCS. A temporary SCIF boundary wall will be constructed on the connections to the existing facility to keep the existing SCIF accreditation prior to connections from the new addition. Electrical power for the addition will be provided with electrical power from an expansion of the existing building switchgear, and include redundant standby generators and a UPS system for the SCIF information technology center. The building will be designed to comply with TEMPEST standards and accommodate AT/FP requirements including design for progressive collapse. Rock excavation is included to make the addition possible using a cantilever design to reduce construction costs. Supporting facilities will include electric, water and gas distribution, sanitary and storm water drainage systems on and offsite. The parking structure will be built over existing on-grade parking to minimize the amount of additional parking that needs to be provided - 250 additional spaces will be provided on two levels. Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 40 years in accordance with DoD's Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1-200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance.

The Contracting Officer has classified this requirement as Construction of Commercial and Institutional Building Constructions, North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 236220. The small business size standard is $36.5 million.

In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the magnitude of construction for this project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.
