AGENCY INFORMATION Department of the Interior National Park Service Contracting Operations (ConOps) East Point of Contact: Edward Dingle, Jr. Edward_dingle@ios.doi.gov 3. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), is conducting market research to determine the availability and capability of qualified construction contractors to perform the Atrium Replacement at the Chickamauga Visitor Center, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, Project CHCH 315696. The contemplated project generally consists of replacement of the existing Visitor Center atrium, limited parking-lot modifications, reconfiguration of the north and south plazas, and associated fire-protection, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, communications, fire-alarm, architectural, structural, civil/site, and landscape improvements. The work is anticipated to be performed under a single prime construction contract and includes multiple interdependent construction disciplines requiring significant coordination by the prime contractor. Major elements of work include, but are not necessarily limited to: • Selective demolition and demolition of the existing Visitor Center atrium. • Construction of the replacement atrium, including structural, architectural, roofing, building-envelope, curtain-wall/glazing, entrance, and interior-finish work. • Civil, landscape, parking, pedestrian pathway, paving, grading, earthwork, stormwater, and related site improvements. • Fire-protection modifications, including dry-pipe sprinkler-system work. • Plumbing and facility drainage improvements. • HVAC/mechanical modifications, including associated piping, ductwork, equipment, controls, supports, vibration/seismic requirements, and testing and balancing. • Electrical modifications, including demolition, conductors, raceways, grounding, panelboards, wiring devices, lighting, and associated electrical distribution work. • Fire-alarm, communications, and related life-safety systems. • Temporary facilities and controls, environmental protection, construction waste management, testing, commissioning, project documentation, and closeout. The specifications separately identify contract line items covering site demolition, demolition of the existing Visitor Center atrium, civil and landscape improvements, construction of the new atrium, fire-sprinkler upgrades, plumbing/drainage upgrades, mechanical improvements, and electrical improvements. Occupied Facility and Public Access The work will occur at an active National Park Service visitor facility. Areas outside the construction limits are expected to remain occupied by NPS personnel and accessible to park visitors. Construction activities must therefore be planned and coordinated to protect employees and the public, maintain access and required exits, and minimize disruption to park and Visitor Center operations. Temporary construction controls include fencing, barriers, and separation of construction activities from occupied/public areas. The project also contains requirements concerning historic-preservation treatment, protection of existing resources, ground-disturbing activities, construction scheduling, quality control, environmental protection, fire/life-safety continuity, and multidisciplinary construction coordination. Accordingly, the Government is particularly interested in determining whether firms—especially qualified small businesses—possess the experience, personnel, subcontractor resources, bonding capacity, and management systems necessary to serve as the prime contractor and integrator for the complete multidisciplinary requirement. 4.
