STATEMENT OF WORK

1.1 Background

a. AR 600-63, paragraph 5-2(e)(1) authorizes “Commanders to use appropriated fund contracts for organizational memberships in local commercial or municipal fitness facilities only as prescribed in AR 215-1, paragraph 8-10.” The citation to paragraph 8-10 is incorrect, as that section applies to “Automotive Skills.” The applicable section of AR 215-1 is actually paragraph 8-20 “Gyms/physical fitness centers/field houses.”

b. Paragraph 8-20 places two constraints on contracting for organizational memberships in local commercial or municipal fitness facilities. Prior to obligating appropriated funds for this purpose, the commander must determine that military facilities are not available or adequate. To this end, the command must conduct an assessment to confirm that: (1) Commuting distance to the nearest military installation would cause an unreasonable hardship on affected personnel, and (2) There are no free opportunities in the civilian community where assigned.

1.2 Objective

The objective of this requirement is to provide 30 full time physical fitness facility gym memberships for military personnel located at the GAO building; one time visitor passes for visiting military personnel; and one time visitor passes for military personnel stationed at the GAO, but do not utilize the gym enough to justify full time memberships.

1.3 Scope

The facility shall include, at minimum:

- Shower facilities

- On-site certified fitness trainers available at all times

- Tracking & reporting system (for tracking usage by USACE personnel) with the ability to change/switch members (at no additional cost) due to lack of usage. Ability to track one time use military visitors and invoice accordingly each month.

- Variety of weight training and cardiovascular equipment (Treadmill with LCD, Stairmasters, Elliptical machines, free/stationary weight training equipment, etc.)

- Lockers

- On site variety of classes and personal training offered (i.e., Pilates, cycling, kick boxing, yoga, aerobics, etc...)

- Fitness assessments and consultations

- Wellness/healthy lifestyle programs

1.4 Schedule Requirements
