Modular Firing Ranges Solicitation 70US0926R70093559 Attachment 2
Statement of Work (SOW)
1. Introduction
The James J. Rowley Training Center (JJRTC), located at 9200 Powder Mill Road in Laurel, Maryland, is the primary training facility for the United States Secret Service (USSS), spanning approximately 500 acres.
JJRTC comprises multiple buildings with classrooms and conference rooms to support training for USSS
Agents, Officers, and civilian personnel. This non-personal services contract provides turn-key design and construction at various locations across the RTC campus. Contract service providers are accountable to the
Contractor, who is responsible to the Government; the Government will not supervise or control these providers.
Background: The project aims to design and construct a prefabricated Modular Firing Range (MFR) to support the Agency’s weapon system training and qualification needs. The MFR will be an indoor facility featuring 360-degree ballistic containment, advanced ventilation, bullet traps, target systems, open shooting lanes, lighting, communications, security access, control rooms with ballistic glass, entry vestibules/sound locks, automation, anti-ricochet treatments, and comprehensive acoustic treatments.
Objectives: This contract will be administered by USSS Procurement, with construction management by the USSS RTC Facilities Branch. For this Statement of Work (SOW), “Government” refers to the
Contracting Officer (CO), Contract Specialist (CS), or Contracting Officer Representative (COR);
“Contractor” refers to the Design/Build Contractor. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price contract.
The Contractor shall design, fabricate, deliver, and assemble/install a modular firing range solution utilizing offsite prefabrication to ensure quality, reduce onsite construction time, and minimize operational disruption. The Contractor shall be responsible for complete offsite design, fabrication, delivery, and onsite assembly/installation of the modular range system:
• In compliance with all federal, state, and local codes (NIOSH, ASTM, OSHA, EPA, NFPA, ETL
11-18).
• The project is Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI); however, the Contractor and affiliates may not advertise or make endorsement claims regarding this procurement or project site. No reference to the location or description of the space is permitted without written government consent.
• All Contractor personnel must pass background checks and comply with JJRTC security protocols.
