SOLICITATION FOR OFFERS
OUTPATIENT CLINIC
SFO NO. V101-183R-xxx-xxx-xx
[INSERT LOCATION OF FACILITY]
Electrical Elements. Power and lighting systems; substations; switchgear and switchboards; auxiliary
engine-generator sets; transfer switches; motor control centers; motor generators; elevator and
transport systems; selector and controller panels; fire protection and alarm systems; special life
support systems; and telephone and communication systems.
Mechanical Elements. Heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems; medical gas systems;
plumbing systems; sprinkler systems; pneumatic systems; boiler equipment and components; and
mechanical and structural elements for transport systems, i.e., elevators and dumbwaiters, including
hoisting equipment and counterweights.
4.2.8.3.2 Earthquake Resistive Design Requirements:
Provide restraints, flexibility of service connections and field reinforcements, or a combination of those
provisions for earthquake-resistive design provisions for non-structural elements of buildings. . Design and
detail restraint systems under supervision of a professional structural engineer registered in the state
where the project is located. Clearly indicate all special seismic details for restraining non-structural
elements on the construction drawings. Drawings shall be sealed by the structural engineer.
Restraints. Provide bolts, anchors, hangers, braces, and other restraining devices to limit earthquake-
generated differential movements between non-structural elements and the building structure. Brace
suspended items, including piping, conduit, ducts, lighting fixtures, and in both directions to resist
swaying and excessive movement.
Flexibility. Keep mechanical and electrical systems crossing building expansion or seismic joints to a
minimum, and provide flexibility to allow for earthquake-generated differential movements. Where
possible, restrict these crossings to lower stories. Where these systems must cross such joints,
provide flexible joints, expansion loops, or other effective methods of incorporating flexibility. Allow for
anticipated differential movement for sleeves and openings. Use flexible electrical raceways where
connecting components would experience damaging relative movements.
Field Reinforcement. Reinforce all field fabricated non-structural elements of buildings and equipment
to resist damage from earthquake-generated motions.
Architectural Items at Seismic Joints. At seismic joints, detail ceiling and wall construction to allow
movement without damage. Do not cross seismic joints with suspended ceiling systems with lay-in
tiles. Do not assume finishes in the vicinity of seismic joints to be sacrificial.
4.2.8.3.3 Hurricane and Flood Resistive Design Requirements:
Design and construct the outpatient clinic building to provide the following resistive features.
Automatic Transport Systems. Provide sump pump pit for portable stormwater pump in elevator pit.
Electrical Systems. Locate emergency generators above the 100-year flood plain.
Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning Systems. Locate HVAC equipment above the 100 year
flood plain.
Plumbing, Fire Protection, Medical Gas, Laboratory Gas, and Dental Gas Systems. Locate pumps
and compressors above the 100-year flood plain.
Domestic Water and Sprinkler Systems. Locate building service shut-off valves above the 100 year
flood plain.
Site Development. Locate first floor of buildings above the 100-year flood plain and grade to ensure
natural drainage is away from buildings.
