1. PROJECT OVERVIEW & GENERAL SCOPE

1.1 Objective

The 102d Intelligence Wing (102 IW) and the 102d Civil Engineer Squadron (102 CES) have a requirement to install anti-terrorism (AT) measures in various locations. Specifically, the physical security measures addressed in this Request for Proposal (RFP) will protect critical military assets and personnel against vehicle-borne threats. To accomplish this, the contractor shall provide all labor, engineering, equipment, materials, transportation, storage, General & Administrative Overhead (GAOH), and coordination required to install high-tension arresting cables and vehicle guard rails.

1.2 Total Physical Scope & Field Verification

The proposed work is divided into a Base Bid and two optional scopes, covering existing fence reinforcement, new barrier installation, and block relocation.

• Contractor Verification Mandate: All linear footages, physical locations, and material counts provided in this solicitation are approximate. The contractor shall field-verify all site conditions, alignments, and dimensions prior to final design, material procurement, and construction mobilization.

• Aesthetics and Integration Match: The new passive barriers must structurally and aesthetically match the physical profile, engineering type, height, and finish of the existing active and passive vehicle barriers on the installation's perimeter.

2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & DESIGN STANDARDS

The Department of Defense (DoD) utilizes the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) as its building code, which refers to the latest version of the International Building Code (IBC). In addition to UFC guidance, the contractor shall adhere to all State, Federal, and local installation codes. Where State and Federal codes differ from UFC guidance, the UFC shall be the governing standard.

Unified Facilities Criteria resources can be accessed at the following official portal:

2.1 Base Bid (Section A): Existing Fence Retrofit - Steel Cable Reinforcing (Approx.

$1,000\text{ LF}$)

For the existing fence modification under the Base Bid (Section A), the contractor shall retrofit and reinforce the fence line using a dual-cable high-tension arresting system.

• Reference Standard: UFC 4-022-03, Security Fences and Gates (dated 1 October 2013).

o Section 2-11 (Fencing Reinforcement) shall govern the installation.

o Applicable drawings, notes, and construction details are located at the end of the UFC on page 66 of 83.

o Drawing numbers UFC-710, UFC-711, UFC-712, and UFC-713 show further requirements for fencing hardware, connection brackets, and tensioners.

• Cable Specifications: Utilize high-strength steel cables, each with a minimum diameter of 3/4 in.

• Anchoring System: Implement a 200 ft anchoring interval.

• Technical Constraints:

1. Deadman Blocks: Concrete deadman blocks shall be spaced at intervals no greater than 200 LF along the fence line.

2. Cable Placement: Cables must be installed on the designated ATTACK side of the perimeter fence.

3. Block Placement: Concrete deadman blocks must be installed on the INSIDE (secure side) of the perimeter fence.

4. Engineering Submittals: The contractor's design proposal must specify and verify cable size, vertical spacing, and structural tensioning calculations.

2.2 Option 1 (Section B): New Steel Cable Guardrails to Parking Entrance (Approx. 150 LF) https://www.wbdg.org/dod/ufc

For Section B, the contractor shall construct and install standard high-strength steel cable guardrail systems starting from the existing fence line and extending to the parking entrance.

• Cable Specifications: Utilize steel cables, each with a minimum diameter of $3/4\text{-in} vertical spacing between cables.

• Post and Foundation Requirements:

o All posts shall be embedded in a concrete foundation with a minimum depth of 2 ft 6 in below finished grade.

o Post spacing, steel grades, and tensioning must conform to AASHTO guidelines for highway cable rails.

• Standard Adequacy: In accordance with UFC 4-022-02, Selection and Application of Vehicle Barriers, standard highway-grade cable guardrails are sufficient and approved for use as passive vehicle denial barriers under this scope of work (https://www.wbdg.org/dod/ufc/ufc-4-022-02).

2.3 Option 2 (Section C): Replace/Relocate Existing Deadman Blocks

For Section C, previously installed concrete deadman blocks were incorrectly placed on the attack side or require repositioning.

• Scope of Work: The contractor shall carefully excavate, lift, transport, and reinstall the existing concrete deadman blocks from the ATTACK side to the INSIDE (secure side) of the perimeter fence line.

• Location Focus: This relocation work is focused along the fence lines bordering East Truck Rd and Generals Blvd.

• Reinstallation Standards: The relocated blocks must be anchored, aligned, and integrated into the high-tension dual-cable system in strict accordance with the standards outlined in Section 2.1. The contractor must ensure that the associated cables remain on the designated attack side, while the structural deadman blocks are securely set on the protected, inside of the fence.

3. BIDDING STRUCTURE & LINE ITEM OPTIONS

Contractors must provide firm-fixed-price proposals broken down by the specific items listed below. All physical measurements provided below are approximate and must be verified in the field by the contractor prior to submitting proposals.
