STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK

United States Army Corps of Engineers Recruiting Facilities Program Joint Recruiting Facilities Committee Bullet-Resisting Panels

Statement of Work (FY17)

1.1 Introduction. The Recruiting Facilities Program (RFAC) has a requirement to provide bullet-resisting capability for the work spaces inside all identified Military Services (Services) recruiting offices or other government specified locations. Bullet-resisting capability signifies that protection is provided against complete penetration, passage of fragments of projectiles, or spalling [fragmentation] of the protective material, to the degree that injury would not occur to a person standing on the opposite side of the bullet-resisting barrier (from either side of the barrier). The Services are comprised of the following: 1) Air Force; 2) Air Force Reserve; 3) Air National Guard; 4) Army; 5) Army National Guard; and 6) Navy. The bullet-resisting capability required shall be met with the procurement of bullet-resisting panels certified at a Level 8, under standard 752 of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Underwriters Laboratories (UL), “Bullet-Resisting Equipment,” to be installed up against existing cubicles, walls or in open areas. To establish uniformity and continuity of appearance and maximize the use of space for all recruiting Services facilities, the required bullet-resisting panels shall have fabric (on both sides), trim, and design features complementary of the existing cubicles. Note: Each Service has identified the appropriate fabric/trim colors to match their internal office colors.

1.2 Definitions:

Panel: For the purposes of this document, the term “panel” refers to the bullet-resisting panels certified at a level 8, under standard 752 of the ANSI/UL. No reference to the term “panel” in this statement of work is intended to be defined as anything other than a bullet-resisting panel. Each Task Order TYPE will be comprised of a “panel unit”. Each panel unit will be comprised of individual “panel sections”.

Location: For the purposes of this document, the term “location” refers to a leased location with an address.

Facility: For the purposes of this document, the term “facility” refers to an individual Services space at a location. The number of facilities at a location will vary from 1 to potentially 7 and may not be in contiguous space at the location.

1.3 Background. The RFAC has initiated steps to improve security of recruiting facilities. The RFAC intends to utilize freestanding ballistic panel cubicle wall partitions to go around the exterior of the current cubicle workstations, desks or open areas in order to provide increased protection to recruiters within most off-installation recruiting facilities. It is necessary to have a means of providing the Services facilities protection within the workplace from the outside or entering threat (from the front or rear).

It is also necessary that, the panels are to have a standardized appearance within all Services facilities.

The panel’s colors for each Service has been identified to match their existing color scheme in order to maintain the current office branding. The intent is to establish uniformity and continuity of appearance between all Services, maximize the use of space for all Services recruiting facilities, and provide a seamless appearance of the panels. Each Service’s recruiting facility refers to a single Service space at a given location. Most locations will have several Service facilities at a location. For example: A location might have 4 Services present (Army, Air Force, Navy, and Air Force Reserve). Each Service (Army, Air Force, Navy, and Air Force Reserve) at this location has their own exclusive use space facility.

2.0 Objectives. The objective of this contract is to provide panels to all identified Services off-installation recruiting offices, located throughout the United States and its territories, which are UL Level 8 certified, approved, and produced. The contractor will be responsible for coordinating with all of the Services facility locations, to execute shipping, delivery, and full installation as prescribed. The contractor shall complete these tasks while meeting the standards of safety, durability, dimensions, ergonomics, and structural adequacy of the new panels.

3.0 Scope. The RFAC identified a need for the manufacturing, shipping, delivery, and installation of panels for all identified Services off-installation recruiting offices, located throughout the United States and its territories. These facilities are in CONUS & OCONUS locations. This requirement entails approximately 6,000 facilities or less, with the potential for additional facilities throughout the term of the contract. The Government will provide the estimated quantities that are required at each location.

An initial “master facilities” listing with locations and estimated quantities are included in Attachment (2). In accordance with FAR 52.211-16, Variation in Quantity, the amount of ballistic panels may change with the prescribed tolerance located in the referenced clause. Every effort will be made to identify the exact number of panels and minimize any deviation, but the winning bidder should expect some variation and plan accordingly. Some variation in delivery locations is anticipated in terms of delivery address within a location, however, locations will not change without amendment/modification.

4.0 Contractual Method. The Government expects an award of a Firm-Fixed Price Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC). Task Orders of varying dollar amounts will be awarded within a period extending up to five years. The intent is to establish pricing for the five year period with the initial award in order to simplify the ordering process. Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) priority ranking order is provided as part of Attachment (2) (master Facility List). Delivery dates in MSA priority order to be proposed by the by the contractor, and approved by the Government following MSA priority Ranking identified in column F of the Master Facility List. However, the 100% completion date is no later than

1.5 years of task order issuance. Government reserves the right to modify the MSA priority ranking on an individual facility/location basis due to emerging threats/conditions.

5.0 Requirements. The contractor shall produce panels that are UL Level 8 certified. To include shipping, delivery, installation, and warranty, as prescribed below.

5.1 Individual Panel Sections & Overall Panel Sizes. The contractor is responsible for the production of UL Level 8 panels. Panels are defined within one of the Types listed below. The “L” shaped or straight panel systems will be comprised of different overall sizes as listed in the Types. There may be situations where a freestanding panel will be needed that is NOT in an “L” shape, but a straight overall panel only. The panels are broken down into Types and by “L” shaped or straight panels. The types and quantities are also outlined in the master facilities list in Attachment (2). However, within each of the overall “L” shaped panel unit sizes, there are individual panel section sizes that fit together to create the required overall panel unit sizes. The fewest number of individual cubicle panel sections are to be used to minimize the number of panel connections and maximize ballistic protection. An example floorplan for a recruiting office is provided as Attachment (4) (EACH location will be unique). Attachment (1) shows an example diagram and pictures of the expected matching look and design of the cubicle panels.

The diagram provided in Attachment (1) also shows an example of the individual cubicle panel section dimensions along with example pictures. These dimensions are listed as follows:

If comprised of multiple panel sections (not to exceed specified panel sections across the front/straight side – see panel types for additional information), panels shall be joined together prior to installation. The contractor shall provide a panel unit that provides continuous 100% UL Level 8 coverage for ALL panel sections / panel units. It is the contractor’s responsibility to develop a design that provides the level of coverage required. If applicable, contractor shall also provide ALL necessary special tools for panel unit assembly to EACH Service facility along with the panels for future flexibility and office relocations.

5.3.3.1 Panel Units. The panel units, when installed, shall sit flush to the floor, and as level as is practicable considering environmental factors at the location. Trim shall be covering any gaps between the panel and the floor to present a seamless appearance. The panel shall be self-supportive, secure and plumb, and shall resist a range of 80 to 100Lbs. of force applied laterally at the top of the panel without tipping or falling over. They shall be capable of absorbing the impact of munitions up to their ballistic rating without collapse not withstanding acts of God.

5.3.3.2 Panel Feet. If feet are necessary for panels, they shall be as minimal as possible, have an ergonomic appearance, and not obstruct the walkway. Wheels or casters will not be acceptable as feet.

Feet shall not extend more than twelve (12) inches from the panel to ensure safety within the workplace.

Feet shall be as unobtrusive as possible, minimizing trip hazards. They should be flat on one side, not to exceed ¼ of an inch in thickness [to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards] and shall extend no more than 12 inches from the panel giving the capability to slide the panel under a desk or possibly another existing cubicle wall.

Feet shall be as thin as practicable while still providing adequate stability and support. Feet shall be independently removable to allow maximum mobility and installation options in the event the panels need to be installed up against a wall or in an open area in the office as a stand-alone. See Attachment

(5) for examples of feet envisioned, but not required, by the Government. The contractor may suggest other panel feet alternatives that will meet the criteria, flexibility and stability characteristics described above.

5.3.3.3 Panel Unit Walls. Contractor shall design the front of the cubicle and side return to ensure full coverage. If the bullet-resisting coverage of the panel unit is comprised of multiple panel sections, the design for 100% coverage shall not exceed the specified number of panel sections. Specifics on maximum number of panel sections is contained within each panel type. For ALL panel unit walls, there shall be no gap in bullet-resisting coverage; therefore, as addressed in 5.3.3, split panels shall be connected with full UL Level 8 material and certified in accordance with ANSI/UL 752, “Bullet- Resisting Equipment”.

Panel Types 1 through 4 shall have panel sections across the front which connect to another panel section that will serve as a return, forming an “L shape” panel unit. The corner connection to form the “L” shaped panel unit and front straight wall shall not leave a gap in UL Level 8 coverage. The panel unit design shall be compatible with an “L” shaped cubicle workspace with a return wall that is oriented on the left or right. Installation by contractor will attach on the left or right based on the office layout. For panel types 5 through 8, the connections between panel sections shall not leave a gap in UL Level 8 coverage. The design shall enable easy installation/connection for the L shape and front/straight panel sections. Every effort should be used to conceal bolts or other fasteners if they are used to connect corner sections.

5.3.3.4 All panel units shall provide UL Level 8 coverage from the front and back. The direction of fire is not always from the front or from the back. The threat could come from either or both directions.

5.3.3.5 All panel system sections that comprises the larger panel unit system shall NOT exceed the weight of 180 pounds (representative of a standard two-person lift plus 10% upward adjustment). The overall panel unit design shall have the capability to be easily uninstalled, moved, and reinstalled without the use of a certified/professional installer.

5.4 Bullet-Resisting Material. The bullet-resisting material component of the panels shall be a material certified to provide 752 Level 8 protection level. This will maintain consistency with existing panels. In addition, the contractor shall provide a panel that mitigates ricocheting, spalling, and splattering (when attacked from either or both sides) in order to prevent secondary injuries in a confined workspace. Due to the large number of panels that will be required under this contract it is recommended that the contractor consider utilizing multiple suppliers, if available, of the UL Level 8 rated material selected by the contractor .

5.4.1 Panel Frames. Panel Frames are to be made of metal. All other connections/trim/feet/other pieces being made of metal, plastic or fabric materials as necessary to meet the 100% UL Level 8 coverage.
