I. INTRODUCTION

A. OBJECTIVE

This prospectus displays project criteria and functional needs necessary for alternative analysis and design development of the Republic Ranger Station Office, #2019 and related site work on the Colville National Forest (CNF).

B. INTRODUCTION

The existing 5129 SF Republic Office, building #2008 was constructed in 1964. It no longer meets the needs of the Republic Ranger District or the visiting public. It has numerous code related deficiencies, needs major maintenance or rehabilitation, and all systems are past their expected life. Office space currently is supplemented with a 1500 SF modular sited east and adjacent to the office.

The Forest approved master plan and site development plan shows the need for a new office facility. The Forest has been submitting the project for funding in the FAO program (now title II) since the late 1980’s. Currently, the project is funded for design with Regional design funds. Construction funds are proposed in 2004.

C. FUNDINGFY01- Cultural/NEPA – Forest CMFC $12,000 - FY02 - Design Coordination: Janke 20 days, Jamie Parker 5 days = $ 7,300

FY03 A&E Design Contract: Funds = $113,00 Cultural Artifact Analysis ……………………………………= $ 1,000

Prospectus/Contract Admin …………………………………………..= $ 6,000 Subtotal = $120,000 CMFC

Road Design = $ 25,000 CMRD

FY04 Construction Total: FAO = $1,080,000 CMFC

Roads funding (construction) = $ 250,000 CMRD

Contract Prep/Admin = $ 20,000 Change Orders (5%) = $ 60,000 Building construction/Demolition = $920,000

D. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Design and construct a wood frame one or two story office building at the Republic Ranger Station. The building must fit comfortably with the community design theme, (Western Victorian) but still present the Forest Service’s image as a quality natural resource agency. The office size is approximately 6,075 gross square feet, including space for 20 permanent Forest Service employees, and 5 PSE/temps. The design shall be flexible to allow for shifting programs and the designer should show where approximately 25% future expansion could occur..

6

Also included shall be site preparation, connection to city water and sewer service, telecommunication service from the local serving utility, as well as conduit system and telecom wiring to other on-site buildings, connection to existing power, underground sprinkler system, access road and parking, information kiosk, and landscaping. Demolition of the old office, re-landscaping the old site and moving the existing modular building is included.

Working with the city of Republic, upgrading and paving of 6th Street to office entry, approximately 800 linear feet. Forest Service to coordinate.

E. LOCATION

The Republic Ranger District administrative site is on the Colville National Forest, in Ferry County in Northeastern Washington. It lies within the Republic city limits and is accessed from city roads linked to State Route 20, a designated Scenic By-Way and on a leg of the Golden Tiger bicycle route and the International Scenic Loop.

F. PURPOSE OF THE FACILITY

The facility will service as the administrative office for the Republic Ranger Station. Its meeting rooms will be available for meetings by the public.

G. PLANNING

The project will require NEPA. The District Ranger shall be responsible for NEPA and the required biological evaluation. Specific areas potentially requiring mitigation are sensitive plants in the area, and heritage impacts.

H. FOREST SERVICE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IMAGE GUIDE (BEI G)

The project will be used as a case study for the BEIG. Basically, the BEIG says that all Forest Service structures shall, to the extent practicable, incorporate the principals of sustainability, reflect their place within the natural and cultural landscape, and provide optimal service to our customers and cooperators. This includes things like using building scale and massing appropriate to the site, using natural and local materials where appropriate, employing colors that complement local vegetation, soils, and rocks, and designing with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. Some important considerations common to all FS buildings are:

- Assure that site planning provides for easy visitor way-finding, convenient parking, accessibility, safe and attractive pedestrian circulation, minimal site disturbance, native landscaping, vegetative shading where solar gain or glare is a problem, and clear identification as a Forest Service site.

- Go Green – design for sustainability and energy conservation, especially where value analysis shows relatively short payback. Utilize daylighting, natural ventilation, low maintenance/natural/local materials, efficient HVAC systems, appropriate insulation, motion-sensor or programmable lighting and HVAC controls, water conserving fixtures, flexible interior layouts, recycling, etc.

7

The country has been divided up into 8 provinces, and the character and appropriate design responses for each are shown in the BEIG. The Colville National Forest is actually in the Rocky Mountain Province. A copy of the BEIG will be provided to the A & E contractor.

Provide outside lighting near entrances of building for security. Lighting should provide a pleasant, aesthetic appearance of the building at night. Use low energy consumption fixtures.

8. WalkwaysProvide concrete walkways from parking areas to employee and public entrances. Walkways should be accessible and sloped to allow water runoff and snow removal.

9. LandscapingLandscaping should utilize natural appearing native species with deciduous species preferred on the south side of the building. Low shrubs should be located 5 feet from the building. Low maintenance plants are necessary. Minimize lawn areas to reduce irrigation and maintenance. Provide an automatic irrigation system. Preserve significant groupings of native trees. Deer are common in area so plants should not be inviting to deer.

10. SoilsSee Appendix D for geotech report. The site is characterized by shallow soils over basalt rock. Ground water varies but is relatively shallow.

11. Relocate existing telecommunication tower with new foundation and ground. The existing is a 55 foot Rohn model 55 tower. TIC ground to building grounds.

12. Signs Exterior:Install a standard USFS agency sign with stone base at or near the road access to the site. See Appendix G. Install Industrial Fire Precaution sign. Interior:Provide signage to identify service center and Forest Service area. Identify work spaces and special rooms.

14. Snow Removal/StorageDesign shall consider snow removal and storage to minimize ponding of water.

B. ARCHITECTURAL

1. Architectural Theme

14

The building must fit comfortably with the community design theme, but still present the Forest Service’s image as a quality natural resource agency. Incorporate natural stone, large timbers and large windows at the building entrance.

This facility will be used as a case study on applying the Forest Service Built Image Guide (BEIG). The site and building design shall generally meet the requirement of the BEIG. The Republic Ranger District is in the Rocky Mountain Province.

For the Rocky Mountain province, appropriate architectural responses include: Siting: locate structures at the edge of clearings, place buildings on the south

side of dense vegetation or mountain slopes (maximize light and heat), and use low vegetation to anchor buildings to their sites.

Massing and Scale: use simple, compact forms, break up larger buildings with similarly shaped smaller masses, use large scale building materials where the scale of the landscape is massive and more moderate scale materials where the landscape scale is more moderate.

Roofs: echo topography with the roofline (increase pitch as site steepens or surrounding forest becomes more vertical), avoid complex multiple roof forms (esp. avoid roof valleys), provide broad overhangs at sites enclosed by landforms or vegetation and modest overhangs at exposed windy sites, (metal o.k. if sensitively designed and prevalent in the area). Roof needs to be pitched to shed snow. No flat roof.

Base: Anchor the building into the site with a strong base. Use a uniform base on moderate slopes and step the base on steep slopes or if the building is large – echo the forms and volumes of the building and site.

Windows and Openings: Concentrate windows toward the center of wall planes to emphasize corner mass, express windows as “punched” openings recessed within the wall face, extend/slope window sills to shed water, build a large porch to serve as an outdoor extension of the building, construct a vestibule or airlock for comfort and energy efficiency.

Walls: make walls appear thick and substantial by using larger materials and limited openings.

Materials: use stone, wood, heavy timber and other natural materials when practical, use manufactured materials if they can achieve the textures and colors of natural materials.

Structure: in public use buildings, express the structure by exposing wood beams, trusses, brackets, or framing – be very careful in use of “fake” (nonstructural but structural-appearing) elements.

Color: use colors from the indigenous landscape inspired by rock outcrops, leaves or needles, tree trunks/bark, and the forest floor. Earth tones should dominate the palette. Use accent colors drawn from the setting such as lichen, native shrubs, or wild flowers.

Sustainability: minimize land disturbance, use local and indigenous building materials, integrate passive solar and/or photovoltaics, use natural/nontoxic/low maintenance building materials, use thermal mass where appropriate, and emphasize water conservation in fixtures/landscaping/greywater recycling.

General: structures of the Rocky Mountain province should match the impressive scale and texture of their settings. Achieve this by using materials found in the landscape, such as timbers, boulders, and natural stone pavers, and by making substantial structural members, such as brackets, beams, and posts visible. Designers can examine and learn from the province’s rich tradition of rustic architecture, log cabins and mining structures.

15

2. Interior DesignThe reception area and conference room shall have vaulted ceilings. Incorporate large areas of natural lighting in the reception area. Provide natural lighting throughout the building. All windows shall be double-glazed, Low E, and operable. Provide mini-blinds.

4. AccessibilityDesign the office and all egress/exits to be barrier-free according to the most stringent of the following codes:

Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS)Provide automatic openers on toilets and main exterior doors

5. Building Envelope Energy Conservation Insulation shall be at least R-18 for walls and R-38 for roof. Minimize thermal bridging. All insulation material will be secured in place. A vapor seal shall separate all open cell insulation from the outside on walls and ceilings. The vented crawl space under the structure will be covered with a ground vapor barrier and have a minimum head room clearance of 24” or more and R-19 insulation. Provide foundation drainage.

6. SecurityProvide a security system (prefer proximity card) to control entry into the building, at all employee entrances. Propose a system at the 30% design phase.

7. Fire ProtectionProvide an automatic fire alarm system complete with central control panel, power supply, signal initiating devices, audible and visual alarms, alarm about switch, emergency power backup, and electronically supervised alarm system wiring and equipment verify availability of water. System to conform to NFPA standard 72A and be listed by a recognized testing laboratory. System to use ionization-type smoke detectors space so each detector protects an area no more than 250 square feet.

16

On actuation, the alarm shall sound until the operated device is reset, and the alarm reset button is pushed. Automatic operation shall initiate an available time relay of 0 to 120 seconds which shall trip the shunt trip beakers on the HVAC equipment and the computer area power panel. Manual actuation via the emergency disconnect shall trip the shunt trip beakers immediately. Consider tying in alarm to local 911 system.

Provide a fire sprinkler and alarm system throughout the office. In addition, hand held fire extinguishers will be installed throughout the building. Water system security shall be designed to prohibit tampering with the water system. The A&E contractor shall determine adequacy and size of service required.
