The 616 acres east of the freeway include the undergraduate academic core and most of the existing campus facilities; the 511 acres west of the freeway includes the agriculture research fields and support facilities, a large parking lot, administrative facilities, and University Extension. UCR present enrollment is approximately 21,000 students.

B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION In support of the University of California, Riverside (UCR) Strategic Plan, UCR 2020: The Path to Preeminence, the proposed Multidisciplinary Research Building 1 (MRB 1) is a 123,000 ASF, 186,000 GSF multi-story facility comprised of research laboratories and research support spaces [‘L’ occupancy with ’H’ chemical storage], faculty offices, office support, and building support spaces [‘B’ occupancy]. The building will be located north of the Materials Sciences and Engineering building on North Campus Drive, east of the soccer field, west of Aberdeen Drive, and south of the Student Recreation Center. The delivery method for this project is Design-Build. The University seeks firms with experience in the following types of projects:

• Wet [designed to Biosafety Level 2], damp and dry laboratories of various fume hood densities.

• Flexible, multi-purpose laboratory support spaces.

• Vivarium with centralized cage wash and a dedicated loading dock.

• Shell space for the future fit-out of vivarium, centralized and distributed core laboratories.

• Offices, scholarly activity and meeting spaces. • Free-standing coffee with pre-packaged food

retail café.

The planning process will develop facility requirements based upon best practices in order to create flexible research spaces that support biology and chemistry as noted above. Assignment of specific researchers and programs will be guided by research cluster proposals.

C. SCOPE OF WORK The University’s Commissioning Authority/Auditor (CxA) will provide commissioning review and verification on behalf of the University. The CxA will administer the overall commissioning process and will provide independent review of the Design Builder’s design and installation, as well as verification of the functional performance testing, documentation, and training by the Contractor’s Commissioning Agent (CCx). The CxA will coordinate and review the Commissioning Plan and will provide the final Commissioning Report. The CxA will be a part of the commissioning team and will report directly to the
