Specifications include, but are not limited to: The State of California, through the California Highway Patrol, operates facilities throughout California. The Quincy Area Office is being replaced as part of a statewide effort to address aging or inadequate CHP field offices and other facilities. The purpose of this Project is to replace and relocate the Quincy Area Office with new facilities that will provide adequate workspace, equipment, and vehicle storage for an increasing number of employees assigned to this office. The Project area is situated in the Town of Quincy, Plumas County, with a project site approximately 5 acres located on Lee Road. The Proposed Project would develop approximately 3.8 acres within the 5-acre project parcel. Approximately 2.8 acres of the developed site would be new impervious surfaces; the remainder of the site would be unpaved, such as for landscaping or snow storage. The Proposed Project site is approximately 0.1 miles north of State Route 70 and 2 miles east of the existing Quincy Area Office, which is located at 86 West Main Street in Quincy, California. The new facility will be built to comply with the Essential Services Act (ESA) and will include an Area Office Building of approximately 19,200 sf with an attached Carport. In addition, the project will include an Automobile Service Building (approximately 5,400 sf), a Radio Vault Building (approximately 750 sf), a Communication Tower (approximately 148 feet tall), a Property Storage Building (approximately 750 sf), and a Waste Enclosure Building (approximately 1,300 sf). The remaining facility will include a Vehicle Fueling Area (approximately 3,300 sf), Generator Yard (approximately 2,240 sf), secure and visitor parking (approximately 33,400 sf) and other ancillary site improvements. The remaining site area will consist of landscaping, fencing, snow considerations, and storm water management. The completed Project shall meet or exceed the requirements set forth in the RFP and shall obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Silver Certification or higher from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The State has retained the services of an Architectural and Engineering consultant (Criteria Architect) to assist the State in the preparation of the RFP and administration of the Project. In addition, the State will also retain the services of a Commissioning Agent to provide building commissioning services, (this service does NOT alleviate the Design-build Entity’s responsibility to provide complete start-up and commissioning of all applicable facility systems and elements). The State will provide and pay for all code-required inspections as well as all code-required materials testing services including on and off-site testing/observation/monitoring and reporting to meet code requirements. The Design-build Entity shall coordinate all such services with the State per RFP requirements. The Design-build Entity shall also be responsible for procurement and payment for all professional services including all oversight and/or testing as applicable by their Geotechnical Engineer of Record retained by the Design-build Entity as required by the Essential Services Building Act.
