1. PROJECT INFORMATION

This section provides an overview of the project.

1.1. PROJECT SUMMARY

This project involves the replacement and modernization of the facility’s existing retractable vehicle bollard system. The existing system includes legacy relay-based controls, control cabinets, wiring, vehicle detection hardware, access-control interfaces, traffic signal interfaces, photo-eye sensors, and electro-mechanical bollard operating components.

The intent of the project is to replace the legacy controls and related bollard operating infrastructure with a modern, four-unit, M50-rated, 240V single-phase automatic retractable electric bollard system.

The completed system shall provide reliable bollard operation through a modern programmable logic controller (PLC), updated electrical infrastructure, new vehicle detection capability, and integration with existing facility access-control and safety systems.

The new system shall be capable of processing required operational inputs, including card readers, traffic signal lights, photo-eye sensors, magnetic vehicle sensing loops, bollard command signals, safety interlocks, and related system status inputs.

See Section 2.1 for detailed project requirements.

The Contractor shall coordinate work and gain approvals required in this Statement of Work (SOW) with the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer’s Representative/Project Manager

(COR/PM) as required.

1.2. PROJECT BACKGROUND

The existing bollard system at the Lloyd D. George building consists of electro-mechanical bollards at the garage entrance and exit. This system was retrofitted from a hydraulic system roughly 10 years ago. The bollard controls are most likely original to the building. The bollards and controls system has experienced intermittent operation issues for the past few years. This project seeks to replace the existing controls and existing bollards.

1.3. CONTRACT TYPE

This contract is a firm-fixed price contract. The services required shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

● Contract Management

● Construction Services including Materials, Labor, and Supervision

● Professional Inspection and Testing Services

1.4. DELIVERY TYPE

The project is Construction Services for Design-Bid-Build delivery type.

June 30, 2026 5 of 36

1.5. PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The current bollards were retrofitted from a hydraulic system to an electro-mechanical system roughly 10 years ago. The manufacturer of the electro-mechanical is K12 Defense (SAU Electromechanical conversion unit). GSA intends to maintain the current electro-mechanical system. This scope of work shall include the refurbishment or replacement of current electro-mechanical units. New units can match existing or contractors may use compatible units from a different manufacturer.

Existing bollards appear to be in good condition. Contractor shall inspect bollards, test function, and repair as needed.

Controls

It is assumed that the current relay controls are original to the building and most likely over 20 years old. The scope of this project includes the replacement of these controls with a programmable logic controller (PLC). This includes complete replacement of cabinets, wiring, battery backups, and any associated infrastructure. Scope also includes the replacement of the existing in-ground magnetic vehicle sensing loop. New

PLC shall incorporate all existing inputs such as card readers, traffic light, eye sensor, and magnetic loop. Specifications for the PLC are included as an addendum to this scope of work.

1.6. PROJECT SCHEDULE

The overall Period of Performance shall be 120 calendar days from Notice To Proceed (NTP) to

Project Closeout, based on the following:

● NTP to Substantial Completion 90 calendar days after NTP

● Submit All HSPD-12 Clearance Applications 7 calendar days after NTP

● Project Closeout (as defined in Section 5.4.) 30 calendar days after Substantial Completion

All actions by the Government counted in calendar day shall begin the first calendar day after the submission, unless the submission is made before 9:00 AM.

2.1. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

2.1.1. Base Bid

The Contractor shall furnish all labor and materials to install a complete four-unit, M50-rated, 240V single-phase automatic retractable electric bollard system to replace the existing legacy bollard system. The work shall include removal of existing relay-based controls, obsolete control cabinets, wiring, bollard operating hardware, and related components necessary to complete the replacement.

The Contractor shall provide and install new electro-mechanical drive components, structural bollard components, PLC-based controls, control cabinets, internal and external wiring, battery backup or uninterruptible power supply components, magnetic vehicle sensing loop, traffic signal integration, photo-eye sensor integration, and access-control system integration.

The Contractor shall perform required site preparation, including electrical isolation, removal of existing components, pavement saw-cutting, excavation, conduit clearing, drainage verification, installation of structural casings, concrete placement, rebar installation, drainage connections, and surface restoration necessary to support the new bollard system.

The new PLC-based control system shall manage bollard operation and safety functions and shall integrate all required operational inputs and outputs, including card readers, traffic signal lights, photo-eye sensors, magnetic loop detection, bollard raise and lower commands, bollard status signals, safety interlocks, and fail-safe functions where applicable.

The Contractor shall test and commission the completed system to verify proper bollard operation, vehicle detection, access-control integration, traffic signal coordination, safety interlock performance, and overall system functionality and integration to existing systems prior to acceptance.

The Contractor shall not install alternate electro-mechanical units or materially change the operating configuration without prior GSA approval. The Contractor shall identify all assumptions, exclusions, and required Government decisions in its proposal.

The Contractor shall ensure a first aid kit is available at the site and that all employee injuries and incidents are reported to the COR immediately for reporting to GSA Safety and Health.

The Contractor shall ensure that all hazardous energy sources are locked and tagged out, arc flash procedures are followed to include all PPE, lock out/ tag out (LOTO), labeling, demarcation of zones, and all 1-line drawings are updated. All new electrical must be updated on the inside electrical panel door, all wires are run correctly, and wires are labeled.

All equipment and material that is owned by the contractor must be labeled with the contractor's contact name and cell number for rapid identification during inspections or emergency situations.

The Contractor shall only use extension cords with three (3) prongs (ground) and only use them for temporary power on a daily basis. All extension cords will be inspected before use for damage, frayed electrical, exposed wires, and must dispose of all damaged extension cords.
