Typical construction for new building addition is to consist of special deep foundation systems, reinforced concrete and structural steel framing and reinforced concrete bearing and shear walls. Interior construction will consist of reinforced concrete interior bearing and shear-walls, gypsum wallboard partitions, and operable / movable partition walls. The project is to renovate approximately 6550 square meters of the existing school facilities and construct a new addition of approximately 7525 square meters. The project will require demolition of approximately 4200 square meters of existing facilities. Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) principles for high performance and sustainable building requirements will be included in the design and construction of the project in accordance with federal laws and Executive Orders. Low Impact Development will be included in the design and construction of this project as appropriate. This project will provide Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) features, including design for progressive collapse and blast-rated windows and doors, and comply with AT/FP regulations, and physical security mitigation in accordance with DoD Minimum Anti-Terrorism Standards for Buildings. Project includes the construction within the school building of Designated Seismic Systems (DSS). DSS are those systems identified in the plans and specifications that must remain operable following a design earthquake. DSS have special requirements for certification(s) of the installed equipment of the DSS as well as Special Inspection requirements during construction. Project also includes other construction that requires Special Inspection of structural, architectural, electrical, and fire protection systems. Special Inspections are in addition to the standard Quality Control inspections required by the contract. Facilities will be designed to provide cyber security engineering and validation as specified in DoD Unified Facilities Criteria. Special foundation features are required due to poor near-surface subgrade soils capacity. The project includes related infrastructure such as water, sewer, electrical, telephone, local area network, community access television systems, and provisions for interior and campus wireless access. The project includes site improvements such as site preparation, signage, fencing, paving, sidewalks, landscaping, exterior lighting, retaining walls, pedestrian bridges, canopies, covered walkways, play lots, play areas, outdoor learning, storm water, low impact development, and external AT/FP.
