The project delivery method is design-build. The successful Civil Engineer, Landscape Architect and Acoustical Engineers will be assigned to the Architect-of-Record prior to the start of design phase and provide design services as a sub-consultant of the Architectof-Record. The Architect-of-Record will be contracted with the Design-Build Contractor. UCSF has chosen to employ an integrated project delivery strategy for this project in order to develop and implement an integrated team approach to design and construction, and to deliver the project for a maximum acceptable cost. This strategy employs Lean design and construction methods from the outset of the project in order to fully realize the holistic design goals and objectives for this project, including state-of-art integrated dry, wet and animal research laboratories including BSL-2 and BSL-3 facilities, other laboratory facility types, as defined in the NIH and CDC Design Guidelines, a quality workplace with exemplary functionality, while delivering a high level of sustainability, resiliency in the face of earthquakes and other natural events, cutting edge energy and water conservation, and integration of technology into educational, and research workflows. UCSF has developed a comprehensive program for the building, a complete set of technical performance criteria for all building systems, and a set of design criteria for the integration of this building into the ZSFG campus context and the surrounding city of 1 of 5

2 San Francisco. These materials will be the basis of design for the building. UCSF has also developed bridging documents for the roadway project, which will be the basis of design for that project. II. SCOPE OF WORK UCSF is a complex institutional community dedicated to the highest standards of health sciences research, education, and patient care. The UCSF Research and Academic Building at ZSFG will create a centralized home for faculty & staff engaged in research on the ZSFG campus, which is owned by the City and County of San Francisco (CCSF). The project should embody the highest possible architectural and environmental design, and functional excellence. The project should be convivial, beautiful, and sustainable, humane and functional, and responsive to the identity of UCSF and the cultural and natural forces in the region. General Description of the Project This project consists of the design and construction of a building for research and academic functions. The 5 Story, 175,000 gross square foot building, to be located on the B/C Parking Lot on 23rd Street will contain research and academic functions only. Inpatient clinical functions are now located in the new Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center while outpatient clinical functions will be located in ZSFG Building 5, which are owned by CCSF Department of Public Health (DPH). Research faculty & staff conducting both wet and dry research will be accommodated in the new building, with ~20% wet research space and ~80% dry research space. The building will also provide administrative office space, including desktop research, dry core and computational labs, educational space, as well as diverse types of wet lab research space, including BSL-2 and BSL-3 labs and other laboratory facility types, as defined in the NIH and CDC Design Guidelines. The building is located on the historic hospital campus, with buildings from several different architectural periods. The exterior design will need to respond appropriately to the adjacent historic architecture, while establishing its own identity as the contemporary UCSF Research and Academic Building on the ZSFG campus, in keeping with the Secretary of the Interior s Standards. The building is to be built on CCSF property ground leased to UCSF, and the conditions of the ground lease and development are contained in the Ground Lease and the Lease Disposition and Development Agreement (LDDA). The research building will be entitled through the UC process, with CCSF review of the exterior design, as described in the LDDA which will be provided to Design Build Team at a later date. A separate related project is a roadway and site and utilities improvements outside the ground lease area that will be entitled through the CCSF permit process. Early delivery of these improvements is important to facilitate delivery and access to the building site. The selected Structural Engineer will work on both projects. Both projects will be delivered using an integrated design build project delivery model, incorporating lean project delivery process, tools, and behaviors throughout the entire 2 of 5

3 project lifecycle. The project delivery team, including University Representatives, will be co-located in a Big Room for the duration of the project. UCSF has chosen to implement an integrated team approach to design and construction, one that employs Lean design and construction methods from the outset of the project in order to fully realize the holistic design goals and objectives for this project. The project goals focus on creating a quality workplace with exemplary functionality and user experience, and adaptability to changing needs within the basic research and educational imperatives. Other important goals are those of resiliency in the face of earthquakes and other natural events, cutting edge energy and water conservation, and integration of technology into educational and research workflows to achieve a high level of sustainability. It is the University s desire to achieve all goals within established cost limitations. The Structural Engineer is expected to evaluate design options to assist with achieving goals within established cost limits. UCSF Technical Performance Criteria and UC Seismic Policy requirements will apply to these projects. This includes regular and vigorous independent structural peer review from the initiation of the design to the completion of construction.
