PART 4: SCOPE OF WORK

OBJECTIVE: It has been determined by the Oakland County FPE staff and planning consultants
the need for development of 2 possibly 3 new buildings located at the Oakland County existing
undeveloped Vanguard Site. The +/‐ 88‐acre Vanguard Site is located just south of the Oakland County
Services Center Campus on the east side of Telegraph Road and is large enough to accommodate multiple
buildings with room for future growth as determined by the County. Adjacent utilities can be brought
to the site from Telegraph and Vanguard Drive, including power, communications, water and
sanitary. The site development needs to be designed to maintain natural features and avoid wetlands where
possible while maximizing buildable areas.
EVENT 005160 – REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

The proposed Building #1; Emergency Operations Center “EOC”, Building #2; Sheriff’s Office Training
Center “SOTC” and Optional Building #3; Strategic Storage Facility “SSF” are to be possibly located on
the Northern side of the site adjacent to similar functions at the Sheriff’s East Annex Building and Sheriffs
Main Jail Building. Water service will be provided from the south along Vanguard Drive while sanitary
service will be connected from an existing line on the north side of the site. Power and communications are
being brought directly from Primary Campus Switch Gear and Information Technology Department from
the west. The existing site will require development of a new North / South access road between
Vanguard and County Center Drive, along with spur roads to each building site and parking lots, this
site development work will be included within the A/E’s scope of work.

The new EOC Facility will replace a significantly inadequate structure to house the county’s
Emergency Operations Center and Emergency Management Operations and Building Safety Departments.
The building will be resilient and leading‐edge construction, meeting current Department of Defense
and Federal Emergency Management Agency building construction guidelines for safety and include
state of the art technology systems.

It is fully intended and expected that the A/E firm selected for these projects and specifically
Building #1 will have previous experience on this specific building type as an independent firm or will
bring on to the A/E team a specialty design consultant for this specific building type. This experience /
team member requirement will be essential in A/E proposal review and evaluation.

The EOC building and program functions are to be designed with standards to respond to anti‐terrorism and
storm shelter standards. This building will be a mission critical facility with redundant MEP
systems and hardened architecture allowing it to function under severe conditions. This building follows
safety guidelines created by the Department of Defense and Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The cost of this building reflects its functionality and is significantly higher than other building types.
The EOC building may be located at the North edge of the site among wetlands, stream, and
mature trees, is secluded. Natural qualities of the parcel will be maintained as much as possible. It is
Oakland County’s preference for these projects to be out of the public eye. The building and parking lots
will be surrounded by an ornamental anti‐ram security fence as well as a landscaped anti‐vehicle
boulder barrier. These barriers will maintain a 100‐foot distance or greater distance from the building
to create a safe stand‐off distance.

The EOC building will have redundant mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Chillers, air
handlers and generators will be located inside the structure with outdoor storage space required for back
up fuel for generators and HVAC which will be on the site and shielded from view.

The EOC building consists of three related but separate programs. These three programs function
independently with separate entries and parking lots.

This proposed EOC building requires durable construction to withstand extreme conditions. Window
openings will be limited with hurricane resistant glazing systems. Interior partitions will be of
conventional construction including CMU partitions for durability, DIRTT systems and gypsum board
EVENT 005160 – REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

partitions to allow for easy future renovations when needed. The building provides adequate space for all
program functions. Break rooms, locker rooms, restrooms and mechanical systems may be shared to avoid
redundancies and increase efficiencies.

The EOC building and site will require a “communications” tower of approximately 250’ – 350’ in height,
located near the building and on the higher points of the existing site. As part of the A/E firm work scope
will be required to provide design for this tower and meet the local zoning requirements, State and
national building codes and the FAA requirements for the nearby International airport flight
restrictions.

The new SOTC Facility will house Sheriff training functions including meeting rooms, indoor gun ranges,
simulated gun ranges and other training spaces. The building will be practical in function and
appearance and design. The building will be a modest industrial type building. The cost of this
building is higher than other industrial type buildings due to the specialize firearm ranges. The
firearm range will have specialized equipment as well as specialized construction.

The SOTC building layout includes indoor gun ranges, associated equipment and acoustic
separations, office, training, and support facilities that will share facilities such as locker rooms with the
rest of the facility. The building will have a functional aesthetic with some prominence given to the
public entrance and lobby. There is an entry lobby with lounge seating at the entrance which will serve
as a focal point. The building will focus on practicality and durability.
The optional SSF Facility if not approved to go forward as a 3rd building on the property will have a
portion of its building program added to the program of the SOTC Facility. The SSF Facility will
function as a vehicle storage garage for Homeland Security and Oakland County Sheriff Marine
Division and includes storage of County’s strategic personal protection equipment.

The SSF vehicle and equipment storage as well as office and workshop facilities will be in the
building. The construction will be industrial and functional to fit its utilitarian use. The attached
office space will serve the basic functions of organizing and maintaining the space with enclosed
offices, support rooms, and restrooms. The Sheriff workshop will support the needs of the storage
spaces with machine shops and space for parts and tools. Also included in the programed space
will be for Oakland County’s Public Safety Storage space, containing room for emergency
supplies for multiple scenarios, with loading space located at the rear of the building.

As it is not intended for these buildings and site development to acquire LEED certificates at completion, it
is fully the intent of FPE and Oakland County to have these projects be environmentally responsible and
sustainable. The A/E team must have experiences and practice sound design techniques and
recommendations for a development that will meet or exceed the minimum certification level of
LEED to all extents practically in the design and construction of these projects.

At no point should these concept building outlines and programs be considering the final solution and it
will be the A/E firms’ responsibility to develop and present their own final solution, recommendations,
EVENT 005160 – REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

and design for these projects. The information provided above and, in the appendix, should only be
considered a starting point for the A/E’s Programing and Schematic Design phase of the project.

This budget is based on the conceptual solution in appendix and the A/E will be responsible to provide
schematic estimating for the final project design solution. This schematic estimate will be used
during the Construction Manager procurement phase of the project. The A/E will then be required to
provide input and assistance to the Construction Manager in future budget estimates and tracking thru out
the project development.

A/E RESPONSIBILITY: FPE and Oakland County Purchasing Division is seeking professional
Architectural/ Engineering consultants for these proposed new building’s designs and documents and site
development.

CONCEPTUAL SITE LOCATION SOLUTION

Site Features and Restrictions 
This proposed site is bounded by Telegraph Road and County Center Drive E to the west, the railroad to the east, 
and Vanguard Drive to the south. The site’s location makes it significantly shielded from view from major roadways. 
Its  buildable  area,  as  defined  by  the  existing  wetlands  study,  is  approximately  42  acres  (noncontiguous)  after 
considering  standoff  distances,  wetlands  delineation,  potential  rights  of  way,  and  woodlots.  The  site  contains 
extensive  wetlands,  elevation  changes  updated  delineation  is  recommended  prior  to  site  layout,  paying  special 
attention  to  the  extent  of  disturbance  at  access  points.  The  woodlot  in  the  center  of  the  site  is  reported  to  be 
protected.  

This site can accommodate multiple buildings, drives parking / shared parking for the EOC and SOTC buildings and 
the SSF building. As noted, the proposed buildings of this RFP scope of work are intended to be along the Northern 
edge of the site near the Sheriff Jail facilities and shielded from view of the major highways. A parcel area has been 
defined  in  the  southwest  corner  of  the  site  for  future  development  by  Oakland  County  and  is  not  available  for 
development under this RFP scope of work.
