Description:
The scope of work for the Design/Build Glazing Systems Package includes all glazing systems currently labeled in the bidding documents as W-1, W-3, W-4, W-8, and W-10.  Major scope elements for this package will consist of, but are not limited to, the following:

• Perform services including the preparation of glazing system design documents, engineered calculations, and detailed coordination shop drawings with associated 2-D & 3-D modeling. Trade Subcontractor to provide coordination, constructability reviews and sequence of installation advice to assist Architect in finalizing the construction documents where glazing systems interface with other aspects of the building (i.e., structural steel, security systems, lighting, etc.).  The process shall be collaborative where all members of the design and contracting team mutually refine and update their respective construction documents to illustrate the full design intent.
• Provide all calculations including the verification of blast requirements as specified in the Contract Documents.  Provide all necessary system component and supporting data for testing criteria and all specified test results from blast analysis.
• Engineer, prepare, coordinate, conduct and complete all specified on- and off-site testing and mock-ups.
• Coordinate all other trade scope system interfaces with W systems (i.e., future fixtures, LEDs, security, signs, etc.) as shown and specified in the Contract Documents.
• Fabricate and install all systems and system structures (i.e., all structural and support assemblies that are welded and/or bolted to primary building structure, etc.). Bolted assemblies and their location on primary structures require additional coordination with steel fabricators in conjunction with continuous on- and off-site quality control, shop drawings review and coordination, review and confirmation of all of bolted assemblies including, but not limited to, on-site coordination during fabrication at fabricator facilities.
• Furnish and install all specific glazing assemblies and components per bidding documents, including but not limited to all required frit patterns, laminate(s) types, edge treatment, tempering, gaskets and sealants.
• Furnish and install all associated aluminum and stainless steel panels, enclosures, escutcheons, trim profiles and any/all aluminum and stainless steel flashing, closure plates and backing assemblies as shown for each W system. All paneling and trims at floor finish levels require coordination with finish floor assemblies and locations. Coordination of receiving trims adjacent to finish flooring requires properly sized and fabricated receiving trims, panels and caps.

• Furnish and install all waterproofing and associated backing plates and support assemblies as specified. All waterproofing assemblies require detailed, systematic coordination and scheduling for proper sequencing of other trades and waterproofing applications. Installation requires multiple mobilizations and non-sequential installations for areas where detailed system interface requires multiple trades to work in tandem in achieving required installations.     
• Coordinate and provide support structures requiring interface with other trades (i.e., future lighting, signage, exit signage, etc.).
• Design, provide and install all associated system embeds including, but not limited to, field layout, verification of control, grouting and all necessary concrete pour watch manpower.

The TJPA reserves the right to assign a legal matter or case to either the City Attorney or to outside counsel, and/or to request that outside counsel and the City Attorney’s office work together on any particular matter.

The TJPA currently has contracts for legal services with Thompson Coburn LLP for advice on federally-related matters, and Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP for retail counsel.
