The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Little Rock District is seeking information for a requirement for the initial outfitting (IO) of the Camp Pendleton ACC Replacement (21 Area).

Includes vacating and moving 20,779 NSF of existing facilities.

The project is a stand-alone IO project that follows the DBB project for this location, with minimal reuse. The Contractor must use AutoCad for this project.

The requirement is for commodities and services required to validate, outfit, transition, and activate The Wallace Creek Medical/Dental Clinic.  The Contractor shall provide all requirements within 90 days of OFB. Deliverables include: 2 IO validation submittals, a Corrected Final submittal, execution of IO plans, and closeout.

Beneficial Occupancy Date (BOD) is expected to be April 12, 2022.

OFB goal date is May 27, 2022.

The estimated value of the initial outfitting project is $3 Million - $6 Million.

The anticipated work includes:

Initial Outfitting (IO) is any commodity-related planning, transition, procurement, installation and warranting required outfitting of a new or newly renovated facility. IO Commodities may include artwork, furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE), casegoods, medical equipment, low voltage systems, and signage/wayfinding. Development of the IO requirements and IO integration into the project shall be accomplished concurrently with construction activities.

Scope of Work includes, but is not limited to, Initial Outfitting - Transition (IO-T) activities such as taking inventory of all existing systems and commodities, conducting user interviews, then planning and developing the requirements for all new and reuse commodities. IO-T also includes managing the phasing and transition activities, relocation, space planning and public relations planning.  IO-T includes project management, validation of commodities, and planning services (new commodities, reuse commodities, and disposal commodities).  Key deliverables for IO-T are IO Submittals. The IO-T process runs the entire span of the project, and does not end until the contract is complete. IO-T takes place first, but continues throughout the period of performance of the contract as IO contract requirements evolve from changes within the scope of this contract.

The IO Contractor shall provide initial outfitting commodities and ancillary services. With most IO contracts, the requirements for both IO services, commodity purchase, and IO schedule dates often change. The IO Contractor must have adequate personnel available to handle considerable adjustments throughout the period of performance, considerable changes to the commodity list, considerable changes to the reuse plan, considerable changes to the amount of required disposal, and the purchase of additional commodities identified throughout the IO-T process. 

IO Contractor PM and Transition Planner shall be onsite full time 2 weeks prior to BOD. PM and Transition Planner shall remain onsite until OFB. 

IO Contractor shall schedule new commodity review within 7 days of contract award to ensure all commodities can be procured in a timely manner for the OFB. 

IO Contractor shall conduct site verification and a minimum of 1 round of user meeting and 1 user review.  IO Contractor shall also submit IO Submittals.  By no means shall this process impede new commodity procurement. 

IO Contractor shall validate network data drop locations and run network cabling, if necessary.

Initial Outfitting - Commodities (IO-C) activities include: ordering, purchasing, delivering, installing, certifying, training and warranting all commodities identified in the IO-T process as well as public relations materials and events.  Commodities include, but are not limited to, furniture/furnishings, casegoods, medical equipment, and low voltage systems (ex. resource protection and communications).  Other IO-C deliverables include moving services, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) manuals, contractor supplied warehousing/storage, and public relations.
