Description

Design, Engineering, and other Professional Services Required to Develop a Central Campus Complex at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida.

This synopsis specifies the Government’s requirement. It is a combined synopsis and solicitation. There is no separate solicitation package.

NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) intends to award a single-award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The awarded contract will have a base five year ordering period with five one year option extensions to the ordering period. Work will be accomplished as individual task orders under the IDIQ contract.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION – The Central Campus Complex looks at how the KSC can revitalize the Industrial Area by consolidating multiple facilities into a more compact campus style setting through new construction, deconstruction, and potential renovation to the existing infrastructure. The Central Campus Complex is based on new construction and the progressive deconstruction of the targeted facilities and potential renovation of other facilities (see Attachment 1 for targeted facilities). The total project is to consist of approximately 620,000 square feet of new facilities and deconstruction of approximately 720,000 or more square feet of existing facilities and associated utilities. A previous facility study to develop the Central Campus Complex concept is provided as part of this synopsis/solicitation. The study is for informational purposes only and not to be considered as a basis of design.

The primary task of the A&E Firm will be to develop a master plan and design for the multi-phased construction of the Kennedy Space Center’s Central Campus Complex. The KSC Headquarters Building (M6-0399) is the geographic center of the new complex due to the utility infrastructure and will incorporate multiple other facilities in the industrial area to create a unified Central Campus Complex. Each design and construction phase shall be a stand-alone project that integrates the overall Central Campus Complex while maintaining overall aesthetics without dependency on future phases. The total construction value is expected to exceed $200 million. A major goal of the project will be to minimize the impacts to center employees by construction and to minimize the number of personnel moves required for new facility occupation. The size of the project and its impacts to multiple facilities will require significant changes to the local infrastructure, including, but not limited to, reconfiguration of roadways, electrical distribution, water distribution, waste-water collection, storm water conveyance, natural gas, telecommunications, fire suppression, chilled water, and potential environmental site decontamination.

A list of facilities to be incorporated into the Central Campus Complex follows: 1. Headquarters Building (Bldg # M6-0399, approx 430,000 SF) 2. Central Instrumentation Facility (Bldg # M6-0342, approx 133,000 SF) 3. Base Operations Building (Bldg # M6-0339, approx 20,000 SF) 4. Electromagnetic Lab (Bldg # M6-0336, approx 9,500 SF) 5. Training Auditorium (Bldg # M7-0351, approx 9,500 SF) 6. Occupational Health Facility (Bldg # M6-0495, approx 18,000 SF) 7. Environmental Health Facility (Bldg # L7-1557, approx. 11,000 SF) 8. Industrial Area Support Building (Bldg # M6-0493, approx. 15,500 SF) 9. Technical Records Center (Bldg # M6-0489, approx. 14,100 SF). 10. Shared Services (approx. 60,000 SF) within the Industrial Area outside of the listed buildings are described below:

Each of these facilities has individualized user requirements with a variety of specialized uses including specialized laboratories and testing facilities, storage, training, medical support and treatment, lobbies, and general office space. Shared services include gift shops, hair salon, library, post office, mail rooms, printing services, A/V storage, cafeterias, credit union, and snack bars. The integration of these shared services into one common area shall be a goal of the design. The A&E team shall have experience in designing multi-use facilities with an emphasis on the intended uses represented in the facility descriptions above.

The planning of the new Central Campus Complex will require a coordinated new construction, renovation, and deconstruction plan in order to create a successful project. Any renovation option shall include the deconstruction of all interior systems and replacement with modern energy efficient systems. Systems to be renovated shall include but not be limited to HVAC, floors, ceilings, wall partitions, windows, fire protection and detection, lighting, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, communication, and systems furniture. Exterior renovations shall also be required to revitalize the exterior facade. Designs shall address environmentally sound and sustainable deconstruction of facilities and associated obsolete infrastructure.
