Specific services being acquired by this contract action included Museum Phasing Site Plan and Facility Vision Plan Update. Atkins is identified as the following reasons: The subject requirement is preceded by several unique analyses and specialized studies that are interconnected and built upon one another in a pragmatic and phased planning approach, all completed by Atkins. The subject requirement will be the next step in a progression of planning studies, specifically the November 2015 Concept and Operations Study, to tailor the Museum program requirements, phase and site the Museum program components, and recommend an optimal financial and business plan to one location in Washington D.C. Atkins is the only architect-engineer contractor with comprehensive knowledge of the Navys current Museum program, business operations and facility requirements intended to deliver this strategic analysis. They have acquired extensive knowledge and understanding of complex, specialized requirements and stringent specifications associated with the phasing and planning of a Navy Museum that will produce an actionable plan for decision-makers. Atkins has developed the special understanding and unique skills necessary to recommend exhibit designs and space utilization to execute various aspects of Museum operations and logistics. During the time invested in the Vision Plan, Business Case Analysis, and Concept and Operations Study, Atkins has acquired specialized information that has allowed them to demonstrate proficiency in achieving continued success at meeting the subject requirement. As part of this continued knowledge acquisition, they have established robust processes related to application of Museum requirements to business operations and strategic budget planning. In summary, the Atkins team possesses the specialized Museum planning expertise in-house and has relationships established with subcontractors to supplement their workforce in order to successfully meet the subject requirement. Atkins knowledge and experience on Museum facility planning is critical to complete the subject requirement effectively, efficiently, and on time.
