- Description
- This announcement is for the purpose of soliciting names of prime construction contractors interested in submitting a proposal for providing Construction services for the following: The work at Halban City, Sultanate of Oman consists of a Shoot House training facility with the base building constructed of concrete walls and the canopy structure of pre-engineered steel construction. The facility walls will constructed of reinforced 4000 psi concrete. The interior and exterior walls will be designed and constructed to a minimum height of 3.048 meters. Live fire will not be permitted during construction. Wall thicknesses will be kept to a minimum amount required to provide ballistic and structural support. The interior walls shall be covered with rubberized ballistic material to eliminate ricochets and encapsulate the bullets, bullet fragments and other fragmentary material. Floors will be constructed of 6" thick, 3000 psi concrete. The contractor will conduct appropriate geologic/soils testing as required to ensure facility structural integrity. The contractor will provide and install ceiling fans to be hung from the roof in order to provide ventilation capability for the interior rooms. The roof shall be an "open roof", leaving a gap between the walls and the roof system. Both gable ends of the canopy roof shall be louvered to provide passive exhaust evacuation. An onsite lay-down area will be provided for the duration of the construction. The site plan and facility lay-down area must be approved by the Contracting Officer or a duly authorized representative prior to construction of the new facility. The Shoot House facility site will be approximately 10m (L) x 20m (W). The Shoot House training area will be live-fire capable up to 7.62 mm ammunition. Design and construct the Shoot House with a galvanized steel roof supported by steel trusses in order to protect the facility from the elements. The Shoot House interior space will be comprised of a series of rooms as indicated on the concept floor plan. The hallway will be of approximately the same width of standard/average Omani hotel or civilian building. Construct and install a metal "catwalk" with guardrail in order to allow observers and trainers to safely observe training from overhead. The "catwalk" will be suspended from the roof structure, not supported by the ballistic walls. Provide overhead interior lighting to enable the safe use during hours of darkness and limited visibility. All light fixtures will be of sufficient height above the facility and encased in steel or wire mesh to protect fixtures from bullets, fragments, or other debris impact and mitigate the risk to users from broken glass/fixtures. Interior lighting will be controlled from at least one exterior switch or switch box and be housed in a securable container to prevent unauthorized use of the lighting system. The contractor will provide power and lighting in the shoot house (50 HZ, three phased power is available within 35m of the proposed site). Optional items include Portable Infantry Target System, portable bullet traps to support targets and communication conduit to support future installation of video recording and viewing equipment.
