It does not constitute a commitment implied or otherwise that a procurement action will be issued. NO entitlement to payment by the Government of direct or indirect costs or charges will arise from or be the result of the voluntary submission by interested offerors of their information.

The facilities involved in access control points are typically single story structures up to 3,000 square feet. Some ballistic resistant design is required along with potential for design of structures with siting that provides less than the stand off distance required for conventional construction (DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings, UFC 4-010-01). Types of services required with advertised future solicitations would include site investigations, concept designs, final designs, construction phase services, studies, and reports at locations throughout the Continental United States (CONUS), including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Interested A-E Service providers should provide, in a six (6) to ten (10) page document, demonstration through project examples of recent or within the last 5 to 7 years, specialized experience of the responding firm and all of its sub-consultants in the following: 1) traffic engineering and traffic safety; 2) interpreting and application of Army Access Control Points Standard Definitive Design dated December 2004; 3) interpreting and application of Army installation access control standard designs; 4) interpreting and application of the DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings; 5) development of facility designs; and 6) construction cost estimating support. A basic Building Information Model (BIM) has been developed for two of the common structures (Visitor Control Center and Gatehouse) used in typical Army ACP designs that is not furnished with this RFI but would based on the findings of this RFI, be furnished with a resultant advertised solicitation for ACP work. The use of BIM design may be required on specific project Request for Proposals (RFPs). When provided for such use, the service provider would be required to complete the design and provide an as-built BIM package. The service provider would be required to provide submittals at each stage in a three dimensional (3-D) interactive visualization using a known BIM Navigator. Based on qualifications, capacity to perform, and a capacity statement received in response to this RFI announcement a future acquisition may be solicited as a small business set aside.
