Update #2 · Latest · Nov 18, 2020

A market survey is being conducted to determine if there are a reasonable number of interested small business concerns to set this future project aside for them. If your firm is a Small Business, certified HUBZone, 8A, Woman-Owned Small Business or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business and you are interested in this project please respond appropriately. The proposed project is a design, bid, build requirement.

Construct a 19,200 SF Training Target Structure for specialized sustainment training to defeat complex, hardened facility targets. This structure will be 3 stories with a walkout at the roof. No current facility exists to provide this necessary training. Structure will provide infrastructure to support repetitive and iterative training on the full spectrum of functional defeat options. Structure will provide the necessary connections and supports for cast-in place/blast-test reaction frame (BTRF) walls, roofs and interior walls that allow necessary breaching and use. These entry points are reconfigurable with anchors for continuous replacement due to damage caused from breaching. Structure will have support facilities as required by code and training. Heating and cooling requirements for the telecommunications rooms will be provided by self-contained units. Supporting Facilities include electric service, storm drainage, and site improvements. Accessibility for individuals with disabilities is not required as this facility is for training by able-bodied personnel only. Measures in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) Minimum Antiterrorism for Building standards will not be provided as this is an uninhabited facility. Comprehensive building and furnishings related interior design services are not required. Sustainability and energy enhancement measures are included as applicable for an uninhabited facility.
