STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO)

United States Mint Protection Directorate (PD)

Replacement of Loading Dock Doors United States Bullion Depository (USBD) – Ft. Knox, KY

C.1. PURPOSE: The replacement of the existing loading dock doors at the United States Bullion Depository (USBD) facility at Ft. Knox, KY.

C.2. SCOPE: The end result is to have two new loading dock doors that provides the workforce and visitors with a safe and secure environment. The new doors will have an insulation rating the meets or exceed that of R-19.5, meet or exceeds level 9 ballistic protection, and provide adequate blast and anti- ram protection.

C.3. PERIOD AND PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: One (1) year from contract award at the United States Bullion Depository (USBD) facility at Ft. Knox, KY.

C.4. BACKGROUND: The United States Mint seeks technical proposals that identify a vendor’s specific, unique approach for the best solution on the design and replacement of the two existing loading dock doors. The current doors are beyond their sustainable life-cycle.

C.5. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES, GOALS AND OUTCOMES:

Overall Objectives:

Replacement of the two existing loading dock doors.

Provide a design that utilizes the best (performance and life cycle cost considered) technical approach for loading dock doors that provide both ballistic and ram protection.

Provide all support and operations necessary to replace the two existing loading dock doors. This support and operations objective includes:

o Personnel - Provide a proper mixed skilled, experienced, and required number of qualified personnel.

o Materials - Provide all necessary supplies, spares, tools, and test equipment, consumables, hardware, software, automatic data processing equipment, documentation, and other applicable properties.

o Facilities - Provide administrative and workspaces.

o Organizational Processes - provide internal controls, management oversight, safety, and supply support.

Ensure the Performance Work Statement that is submitted with contractor proposals identifies and lists the most stringent federal or state requirement met. Requirements are identified in the Unified Facility Criteria and Unified Facility Guide Specifications via wbdg.org.

Technical objectives:

Design, remove, dispose, and install two new loading dock doors including outdated or worn communication and power lines:

o Has reliability and maintainability characteristics that support availability of 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, under the environmental conditions expected in the operational environment (Ft. Knox, KY).

o Requires Level 9 or higher ballistic protection.

o Provides both blast and anti-ram protection.

o Meets or exceeds an insulation rating of R-19.5.

o Has observation and engagement ports, which provide the same level of protection as the rest of the door. The glazing must allow for observation on the unsecure side, but must have a reflective film to prevent observation within the secure side. The ports will be of a guillotine design with horizontal movement and release locking and latching mechanisms. The number, size, and location will be provide during the site visit.

o Integrates with current security peripherals. (Information to be shared during the site visit.)

o Have built-in safety when the doors are in the open position.

o Is sustainable and damaged portions replaceable by maintenance personnel throughout the life-cycle.

o Has low life-cycle support costs. Coated to prevent damage by the environment, including scratches during daily operation.

o Functions with existing electronic access control system. (Information to be shared during site visit.)

o Perform the project with a minimal impact to other material and systems that may be located in the area.

o Make maximum use of existing material (recycle materials from this demolition where applicable and certification required) and current technology.

o Conforms to Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers grounding, ballistic standards, forced entry, wind load standards, and crash barrier standards.

o The System shall be equipped with hardened electronic equipment capable of operating at various temperatures, without assistance from a cooling or heating apparatus.

o The System’s electrical/electronic components shall possess protective chemical coating or polymer film to protect circuits from harsh environments that may contain moisture and or other chemical contaminants (i.e. conformal coating).

o All electronic equipment (circuitry) shall be protected against transient voltage surges, resulting from lightning strikes or Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) via the appropriate protection device (transorb/gas discharge devices).

o The door opening and closures shall be redundant and have a manual failover capability.

o The doors will open into the loading dock versus stacking or layering in or near the door frame.

o During removal and installation the contractor will provide a means to secure the portal during unattended/non-work hours.

o Provide a three (3) year or greater warranty.

C.6. SITE VISIT

It is the intention of the United States Mint to conduct site visit. All vendors wishing to submit proposals must attend the site visit.

The contractors must submit the clearance form for each person attending the site visit five (5) working days prior to the visit. No personnel will be allowed to attend the site visit without prior authorization.

This contract will require personnel who install the loading dock doors to have an active “SECRET” security clearance.

C.7. DESIGN WORK PRODUCT AND DRAWINGS

All work products of the contractor as to the design of the facility, including working papers, specifications, and drawings shall become the property of the United States Mint. Upon completion of the project, all such work product shall be delivered to the United States Mint.

GENERAL: Contractor and/or subcontractor employees’ while on United States Mint premises shall be subject to and abide by all safety and security regulations of the United States Mint and will be required to meet the same personnel safety requirements as United States Mint’s employees.

C.8. PRE-WORK CLEARANCE: Before any contractor/subcontractor employees’ perform work the United States Mint Police must approve access based on checks conducted by the United States Mint Police.

C.9. NON-DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION: All personnel authorized access will sign a non-disclosure agreement that will remain on-file with the United States Mint Police.

The Contractor shall ensure that Contractor/subcontractor employees’ do not disclose any information obtained during performance of the contract as this is considered proprietary to the United States Mint.
