- Y- PRE SOLICITATION SYNOPSIS This solicitation is for the design and construction of the Coast Guard (CG) Rescue Swimmer Training Facility (RSTF) at USCG Support Center Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The project acquisition strategy is a best value, two-step Design-Build. The new RSTF will be a single-story building with an outdoor sports-turf field. The RSTF shall be adjacent to Buildings 4, 6, and 8. The site is paved with concrete, which must be demolished and removed prior to construction. The RSTF is approximately 50,000 square feet. The RSTF space program includes but is not limited to: a Rescue Swimmer training pool (25m x 50m), a Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS) pool (35ft x 60ft), a fitness room with a sports trainer office, locker rooms, wet storage, lecture classrooms, inflatables lab, oxygen lab, pump shop, administrative offices, public areas, and facility support spaces. The RSTF shall also be designed to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) “Certified” level. The Rescue Swimmer training pool shall be specialized and possess many technological features capable of simulating a real-world environment. This pool is the cornerstone of the RSTF and shall be equipped two 12’ jump towers, moveable bulkhead, wave generator, rotor wash simulator, fog generator, parachute hoist, ropes course, helicopter search light, dusk and night simulation, and a sound system to name a few features. Another significant space within the RSTF is the METS pool, which shall be used to provide emergency egress training. The METS shall provide a high degree of realism and flexibility through the use of moveable and interchangeable panels, bulkheads, seats, and exits. These modular components shall closely simulate the specific characteristics of the common Coast Guard helicopters. The lifting or hoist system shall provide a high level of safety, reliability, and user friendly options that are available for aircraft ditching training. The estimated magnitude of this construction project is more than $10,000,000.00. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this acquisition is 236220 and the small business size standard is $31.0 Million.
