2. Requirement Overview

The 482d Contracting Flight, Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB), FL is conducting market research for the Outdoor Fitness Facility, Building 389 project at Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB), Florida.

The anticipated requirement is primarily for the procurement, delivery, and associated submittals for construction materials and equipment required to support construction of an outdoor fitness facility. Air Force RED HORSE personnel will perform the majority of construction and installation activities. Contractor installation responsibilities are limited principally to the steel picket fence and, if applicable, a separate lightning-protection system.

The contractor would be expected to:

1. Procure and deliver all materials identified in the Government-furnished bill of materials (BOM), Attachment 2 Outdoor Fitness Facility, BOM Template.
2. Furnish the Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) package, including engineered shop drawings and all associated structure materials.
3. Coordinate concrete-truck deliveries to support Government construction execution.
4. Furnish the specified construction equipment for the required durations, fueled and ready for operation at the work site.
5. Install a new steel picket fence, including site restoration for areas disturbed by fence installation.
6. Install a lightning-protection system if the proposed PEB cannot include a compliant built-in lightning-protection system.

The provided BOM identifies, among other materials and equipment, rubber fitness flooring, concrete masonry materials, electrical distribution materials, outdoor fans, motion-activated lighting, concrete, base course, PEB-related items, and construction-equipment rentals.

3. Anticipated Scope

3.1 Material Procurement and Delivery

The contractor shall be capable of procuring, delivering, and warranting the materials and equipment identified in the Government-furnished BOM.

3.2 Pre-Engineered Building Package

The contractor shall be capable of providing a complete PEB material package based on Government design drawings, including digitally signed and sealed shop drawings prepared by a Professional Engineer.

The PEB package is expected to include, at a minimum:

• Installation shop drawings;
• UL-listed and labeled components;
• Fence-bonding connections;

3.4 Steel Picket Fence Installation and Site Restoration

The contractor shall be capable of furnishing and installing a steel picket fence around the outdoor-fitness-facility overhang structure. The fence must be located at least five feet from the roof overhang and include an accessible, lockable gate/door.

The fence-related scope includes required access and equipment doors, hardware, and restoration of disturbed areas using St. Augustine sod.

3.5 Construction Equipment

The contractor shall be capable of furnishing the construction equipment identified in the BOM for the stated rental periods or project duration.
