About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details architectural and engineering services for the repair and renovation of Building 501 Mission Planning Cell at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. The project scope includes comprehensive design work for an office area with a controlled access section, involving updates to HVAC systems with humidity controls, communications systems, electrical systems, interior design, and architectural modifications. The total project performance period is 330 calendar days, with design milestones including multiple review stages from 35% to 100% design submissions.
Key technical requirements include providing complete construction drawings for floor plans, equipment layouts, wall construction, doors, and furniture configurations. The design must comply with multiple federal standards, including Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), Intelligence Community Directives (ICD), and specific Air Force base facility standards. The project is set aside for small businesses, with a project magnitude estimated between $500,000 and $1,000,000, and will utilize a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract type. Notably, the design must address specialized security requirements, such as sound transmission class standards, perimeter wall specifications, and integration of technical surveillance counter-measure considerations.
