PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

INSTALLATION OF WEIGHT ROOM PERFORMANCE FLOORING

UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY (USAFA)

Installation of Falcon Athletic Center Weight Room Performance Flooring

1. OVERVIEW:

1.1. The Air Force Academy Directorate of Athletics (AD) is soliciting quotes for performance flooring and strength and conditioning equipment for the Falcon Athletic Center (FAC) weight room. This 24,000 sq. ft. room is used primarily by 750 Intercollegiate (IC) athletes and is the sole venue for the Physical Education (PE) Cadet Core PE Class; Physical Development 112. The usage in this facility equates to a minimum of 50,000 cadet visits utilizing the FAC each semester. This requirement directly supports the United States Air Force Academy’s (USAFA) Warrior Ethos outcome by providing our Cadets with a world class facility to train competition ready athletes and more importantly, combat ready Airmen.

2. PROJECT BACKGROUND:

2.1. The FAC weight room was built in 2003. The flooring has remained the same for the past 16 years. The current flooring is dated and has become a safety hazard on monthly safety reports given to the Athletic Department Safety Representative, as well as annotated on Base-Wide Safety Records for both Calendar Year (CY) 2018 and 2019.

The proposed purchase of performance flooring will replace existing flooring that is unsafe, and has surpassed its lifecycle and depreciable value. The carpet pad under the turf has been crushed and glue has become undone creating two separate surfaces which place cadets at risk for slipping injury while performing agility or conditioning activities.

Additionally, the inability to effectively clean the surface of the turf currently places our Cadets at an increased risk for sickness. This project is mission essential in providing USAFA intercollegiate athletes and Cadets the safest and most effective performance flooring possible.
