Non USSS / Personal

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

for

AMMO Extended Storage -Multiplex ATF SPEC Type 2 Explosives Storage and Ammo Storage Magazines

Project Background and Requirements

1.1. Project Background

1.1.1. The James J. Rowley Training Center (JJRTC) is the primary training facility for the

United States Secret Service (USSS). The campus is located at 9200 Powder Mill Road in Laurel, Maryland on approximately 500 acres. The United States Secret Service, James J. Rowley Training

Center (JJRTC) is the main training facility for USSS personnel. The campus consists of commercial buildings, classrooms and conference rooms spread over a 500-acre campus. JJRTC must provide the best training environment for USSS law enforcement Agents, Officers and civilian support personnel.

The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.2. Project Objectives – Phases 1 & 2

• The contractor shall provide all necessary design, engineering, labor, equipment, materials, testing, construction services, any coordination, requirements and services necessary to execute the design and construction of the following. Contractor is responsible for verifying and accounting for new installation, removal and/or relocation, and all required coordination of utilities as a part of this contract during design, construction and warranty period. Further, all relocation support including on-site installation assistance, civil/site improvements required for transportation, and installation of the storage magazines.

The objective of this project is to provide professional turn-key design and build services to furnish and construct new concrete reinforced pads and a 5,400 square foot outdoor Alcohol, Tobacco

Firearms and Explosives (ATF) SPEC Multiplex Magazine with heavy duty flooring, doors, entry ramps, awning, ceiling lighting, wall mounted HVAC & humidity control system, and other associated items. In the location where the new Multiplex will be constructed, there are two (2) existing ARMAG

Corporation branded Outdoor Explosive Storage Magazines that shall be to be relocated to within the campus footprint; there is also a large metal shed system that shall be disassembled, stored & protected, and reassembled after the Multiplex system is delivered, set and fully operational. Although the project requirements under this SOW are divided into two (2) phases of work, the project remains a standalone, turnkey design-build effort. However, we are open to considering a more efficient sequencing plan, provided it meets all project requirements, maintains continuity of work, and does not adversely impact schedule, cost, quality, or operational needs. The concrete pads associated with this project shall be slab-on-grade designed and constructed to the American Concrete Institute (ACI) core standards including 301.1R. No concrete admixtures and accelerants are authorized for this project. In the event of any conflict or discrepancy, the most stringent applicable code, regulation, law, standard, or industry best practice shall govern.
