STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

PN: 110417

Project Name: Requirements Analysis (RA) – Repair Weapons Assembly Building 525

MISSION OBJECTIVE

This project will execute a comprehensive Requirements Analysis (RA) to modernize the electrical, mechanical, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure within Building 525 and improve the loading dock directly enhancing the mission-critical capabilities of the Live

Fire Directorate at Aberdeen Test Center (ATC).

The Directorate's core mission involves the vital proofing of weapon systems and precise measurement of cannon tubes and mortar tubes, which relies on high-precision instrumentation.

The current 1941-era utility infrastructure in Building 525 presents a direct risk to this mission by offering unreliable electrical power, which can compromise the accuracy and validity of test data. Furthermore, the inadequate HVAC systems fail to provide the stable and properly ventilated conditions necessary for the optimal performance and longevity of the high-precision measurement instruments, which limits production capacity and can affect the reliability of test data. The absence of a modern sewer and stormwater system and an inadequate loading dock further hampers the facility’s operational efficiency and safety.

The scope of this project includes a physical assessment of the existing electrical, HVAC, sewer, and stormwater systems, as well as the loading dock, followed by a requirements analysis to define the necessary upgrades. This analysis will ensure that all modernization efforts directly support the restoration of full mission capability and adhere to current safety and fire regulations.

The project will conclude with a final report containing distinct cost estimates for the required electrical, mechanical, sewer, stormwater, and loading dock scopes, providing a clear path to enhancing the directorate's ability to test and certify superior materiel for the warfighter.
