[INSERT LOCATION OF FACILITY]
3.18.2 FIRE PROTECTION:
Submit a narrative explaining building construction type, building fire/smoke separation, fire
sprinkler/standpipe systems, water supply available/maximum demand, and fire alarm systems. Indicate
NFPA 220 and IBC fire resistive ratings of the building.
3.18.3 MECHANICAL:
Submit a narrative that clearly states the engineering criteria and rationale used for selecting the type of
HVAC system(s) and tentative zoning of the systems. State clearly all assumptions and parameters used
in calculating heating and cooling loads. If the calculations are performed on a computer, provide the
name of the program. Provide a list of the energy conservation measures proposed to be used in the
HVAC system design. State clearly the logic and criteria used in selecting each conservation measure.
Investigate the availability of utilities, such as natural or propane gas, electricity, etc. for the HVAC
equipment and provide description of their status.
Editing Note: Include following for projects over
100,000 NUSF.
//Provide a single-line schematic plan of HVAC zoning.//
3.18.4 ELECTRICAL:
Submit a narrative that clearly states the electrical design approach, including basic assumptions and
information regarding the local electrical utility company. Describe extent of utility company work if any is
required.
3.19 CALCULATIONS: SUBMISSION WITH OFFER:
This information will be used to evaluate the "Quality of Building and Design Concept" factor as referenced
in Paragraph 2.2.
3.19.1 AREA COMPUTATIONS:
Submit key plans or diagrams to indicate methodology used to compute total gross area of the building
and the total inside gross area minus the deductions as specified in Paragraph 3.14 of this Solicitation to
arrive at the total net usable square foot calculation.
Editing Note: Include the following paragraph if Lessor
is to submit calculations for VA review and
verification. Coordinate column headings with the
format of the Space Program in Schedule C.
//Provide a tabular Space-Accounting Summary Table using format shown in Schedule C of this SFO.
Include columns entitled Departmental Function, Approved Space Program Net Square Feet (NSF),
Designed Net Square Feet, Variance from Approved Space Program Net Square Feet; column totals; and
a Total Project Net to Gross Factor. Also, list separately the area required for additions to the program,
unassigned space, major circulation (inter-departmental corridors, stairs, elevators), major mechanical and
electrical spaces, exterior walls, and special requirements.//
3.19.2 HVAC CALCULATIONS:
Submit preliminary HVAC block load calculations for estimated heating and cooling requirements of the
building (BTU' per gross square foot per year).
