STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (SOO)

Enterprise Training Infrastructure Project Scope Study and Feasibility Analysis

1. PURPOSE

The United States Capitol Police (USCP) seeks Architectural & Engineering (A/E) professional services to conduct an Enterprise Training Infrastructure Project Scope Study and Feasibility Analysis supporting future Department-wide training infrastructure planning.

The purpose of this effort is to build upon the findings of the Training Facilities Requirements

Assessment (TFRA) by further evaluating the Department's validated operational requirements and identifying feasible infrastructure alternatives capable of supporting current and projected enterprise training demands.

The study is intended to provide executive leadership with objective engineering, planning, operational, and financial information necessary to evaluate infrastructure alternatives and formulate a preferred path forward for future infrastructure investment.

2. BACKGROUND

The United States Capitol Police is responsible for delivering recruit, in-service, leadership, specialized, and operational training in support of its mission.

The Department recently completed a comprehensive Training Facilities Requirements Assessment

(TFRA) which evaluated existing training infrastructure, facility utilization, throughput requirements, concurrency demands, facility condition, operational workflows, and projected enterprise training requirements.

The TFRA identified infrastructure limitations affecting the Department's ability to sustain current and future enterprise training operations. These limitations include, but are not limited to:

• Classroom capacity

• Firearms training infrastructure

• Scenario-based training environments

• Defensive tactics training space

• Specialized operational training facilities

• Administrative and instructor support space

• Facility concurrency limitations

• Continued reliance on external facilities and partner agencies to meet operational demand

While the TFRA successfully identified and validated enterprise training infrastructure requirements, additional planning and engineering analysis is necessary to evaluate feasible infrastructure alternatives capable of addressing those validated requirements.

3. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this effort is to assist USCP in translating validated operational requirements into feasible infrastructure alternatives through engineering, planning, and operational analysis.

The Contractor should recommend an approach that:

• Validates planning assumptions.

• Validates current and projected throughput requirements.

• Evaluates multiple infrastructure alternatives.

• Identifies implementation considerations.

• Develops planning-level cost information.

• Provides executive decision-support products.

The Contractor shall provide objective analysis supporting Government decision-making. Selection of the preferred infrastructure strategy shall remain a Government decision.

4. DESIRED OUTCOMES

At the completion of the study, USCP expects to receive information sufficient to support executive evaluation of future enterprise training infrastructure investments.

Desired outcomes include:

• Validation of enterprise planning assumptions.

• Validation of current and projected enterprise throughput requirements.

• Identification and evaluation of multiple feasible infrastructure alternatives.

• Engineering and planning analysis supporting each alternative.

• Site identification and evaluation.

• Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates.

• Implementation and phasing considerations.

• Risk analysis.

• Executive decision-support documentation.

• Information supporting future acquisition planning.

5. ANTICIPATED SCOPE ELEMENTS

The Government anticipates that the Project Scope Study and Feasibility Analysis will build upon the findings of the Training Facilities Requirements Assessment (TFRA) and further evaluate enterprise training infrastructure requirements through planning, engineering, and operational analysis.

The Government requests industry recommendations regarding an approach that may include, but is not limited to, the following elements:

Project Initiation and Planning

• Project kickoff meeting

• Project management approach

• Communication strategy

• Project schedule and milestones

• Stakeholder engagement plan

Existing Conditions Review

Review and evaluate available Government-furnished information to establish a comprehensive understanding of current training operations, facility utilization, infrastructure limitations, and future enterprise requirements.

Government-furnished information may include:

• Learning Needs Assessment (LNA)

• Training Facilities Requirements Assessment (TFRA)

• Existing training schedules

• Facility documentation

• Benchmarking information

• Additional planning documentation as available

Stakeholder Engagement

Engage Government-designated stakeholders to validate planning assumptions, operational requirements, and future enterprise training needs.

Stakeholders may include:

• Office of the Chief Administrative Officer

• Office of Logistics and Support

• Training Services Bureau

• Research & Development Division

• Workforce Management

• Operational Bureaus

• Additional Government personnel as identified during the study

Requirements Validation

Validate planning assumptions supporting future infrastructure planning, including:

• Enterprise training demand

• Workforce projections

• Throughput requirements

• Capacity requirements

• Facility programming requirements

• Administrative and instructor support requirements

Infrastructure Alternatives Analysis

Develop and evaluate multiple feasible infrastructure alternatives capable of addressing validated operational requirements.

Alternatives may include combinations of:

• Modernization of existing facilities

• Expansion of existing facilities

• Additional utilization of partner agency facilities

• Leasing commercial or government-owned facilities

• Acquisition of existing facilities

• Construction of new training facilities

• Relocation of selected training functions

• Distributed training models

• Centralized training campus concepts

• Hybrid infrastructure strategies

• Additional alternatives recommended by the Contractor

Each alternative should include planning assumptions, implementation considerations, advantages, disadvantages, associated risks, estimated costs, operational impacts, and potential implementation sequencing.

Site Identification and Evaluation

Recommend and evaluate potential training facility locations within the National Capital Region using planning and engineering criteria.

Evaluation considerations may include:

• Operational suitability

• Site accessibility

• Utility availability

• Infrastructure capacity

• Expansion potential

• Transportation and circulation

• Security and force protection

• Environmental constraints

• Zoning and land-use considerations

• Existing infrastructure

• Site limitations

Cost and Implementation Analysis

Develop planning-level information supporting future decision-making, including:

• Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates

• Capital investment considerations

• Lifecycle cost considerations

• Implementation strategies

• Phasing approaches

• Operational impacts

• Risk considerations

• Potential cost avoidance opportunities

Executive Decision Support

Develop executive-level products supporting Government evaluation of infrastructure alternatives.

Products may include:

• Executive briefings

• Infrastructure comparison matrix

• Alternatives evaluation summary

• Decision-support documentation

• Draft and Final Project Scope Study and Feasibility Analysis

The Government encourages industry to recommend additional scope elements that would improve the overall study and better support future acquisition planning.

6. GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED INFORMATION

To support performance of the anticipated study, the Government expects to make relevant existing information available to the selected firm, as appropriate, available, and permissible. Government-furnished information may include:

• Learning Needs Assessment (LNA)
