About this file
This document is Exhibit C1, the Basic Agency Room Construction Criteria (BARCC) for US Secret Service Enterprise Readiness Operations Division facilities. It serves as general construction guidance for draft scopes and cost estimates, with site-specific refinements to follow once final site designs are formulated.
The BARCC specifies construction standards across multiple space categories. General standards include walls with ballistic reinforcement (public-facing walls at Level 3 ballistic rating), sound attenuation (STC 45 minimum, STC 54 for high attenuation), and fortified construction with steel mesh and ballistic materials where required. Ceilings must be drop-in tile with minimum NRC .90 unless otherwise noted. IT/Telecom provisions require CAT6 minimum data speeds with dual network locations per enclosed office and three connections per desk position. Electrical systems must be independently supplied with standard 110V 20A duplex outlets spaced every six feet, maximum twelve feet apart. All doors require locking systems with large-format 6-pin interchangeable cores; specific doors accommodate electronic combination locks and electrified locksets. HVAC systems operate independently with 24-hour availability upon request and 24/7 cooling in designated sections.
Space-specific requirements address numerous functional areas including executive offices (SES SAIC, SAIC, RAIC/DSAIC), standard offices (Special Agents, supervisory and administrative positions), support spaces (conference areas, break rooms, file rooms), security-related facilities (polygraph rooms, prisoner processing, interview rooms), specialized labs (ECTF, ECSAP with electrostatic dissipating furniture and 24/7 cooling at 2-10 tons), equipment rooms (Combined Equipment Room with 24/7 cooling and twelve dedicated circuits), and operational spaces (duty rooms, counterfeit control, weapons/ammunition storage). All spaces require ADA-compliant doorways, fire system compliance with federal/state/local regulations, and specialized finishes such as fortified walls, drywall ceilings, metal grab bars, and tamper-resistant equipment in prisoner processing and interview areas.
