- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: Holistic Health and Fitness System (H2F) Readiness Kit Introduction In order to protect our soldiers, and insure their readiness for task, the US Army has developed a fitness measurement system based on 5 domains and an Army wide program called the Holistic Health and Fitness System (H2F) (https://usacimt.tradoc.army.mil/ACFTGuidance.html). The 5 domains are Physical Fitness, Sleep Fitness, Nutritional Fitness, Cognitive Fitness, and Spiritual Fitness. In order to provide the tools for the soldier to be able to train and seek help in all 5 areas, H2F has a responsibility to provide Soldier Performance Readiness Centers for each Brigade level unit supported. The US Army is interested in innovation in the area of construction to allow centers to be deployed to bases. The targeted building facility would encompass 43,189 sq ft with 20ft height. The Army is seeking information about cost and environmentally conscious innovative building processes including materials, lifespan, maintenance, efficiency, and weather endurance. This is not a solicitation for bid, nor is there a project to apply toward. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS ONLY. This Request for Information (RFI) is for planning and informational purposes only and shall not be considered as a request for proposals or as an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of contractor submission of responses to this RFI or the Government's use of such information. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any contractor's input resulting from this RFI. No contract will be awarded from this announcement. Data submitted in response to this RFI will not be returned. Information is being requested to inform future requirements for the superconducting digital logic research community and the Government. The Army is specifically looking for information relating to the following: 1. Building materials that generate the same or better energy efficiency (as standardized in the unified facilities criteria (UFCs) (https://www.wbdg.org/ffc/dod/unified-facilities-criteria-ufc/ufc-3-400-01-c4) as brick and mortar where the cost of deployment is significantly less expensive than brick and mortar. 2. Unique construction techniques for semi-permanent structures that encourage sustainability and speed of installation. 3. Cost savings compared to semi-permanent building maintenance at 25 year life cycle compared to traditional costs of brick & mortar at 50 year lifecycle. Includes manufacturer warranty on structure for 25 years. 4. Foundation material build out for environmental locations to include unique installation and cost savings activities. Encourage sustainability and speed in installation, modularity is ideal. 5. Intelligent utility management for any and all proposed connections (power, gas, water, internet, etc.) will include innovative techniques to reduce maintenance and draw of utilities from the facility. Large system power generation will conform to standard on-post practices to encourage seamless maintenance transition from manufacturer to installation utility maintenance. The Army is looking to develop knowledge of innovative construction technologies that will meet the needs of trainees and instructors and directly supports the Army�s Modernization strategy for Soldier Readiness. Improved fitness across the 5 pillars will lead to better soldiers on the battlefield and save lives at point of injury. Response Instructions: 1. Your response should have a cover page with your company information to include the Company Name, Address, Primary Point of Contact with a phone and email information. 2. Please limit your response to each question to under 500 words per question 3. Please provide the response to these questions in a single PDF format file 4. You may answer all of these questions or only a portion of the questions offered for consideration 5. Please email responses to H2FRKresearch@aal.army no later than11:59PM EST, Nov 14, 2022 Questions for consideration 1. What solution would you propose for the construction methods and materials? Please note distinctions between foundation vs walls/roof, etc. 2. What do you believe would constitute reasonable milestones (time and deliverable) to develop a demonstrable prototype that incorporates foundation, erection, and functional completeness? 3. What maintenance is required for your solution? Who can perform the required maintenance? Is special training or certification/licensing needed? 4. What is your estimated schedule for deployment of the facility structure, from bare earth to complete? 5. Discuss your approach to actual construction of the facility. 6. If offering an off-the-shelf solution, are you familiar with the standards in use by the US ARMY and how would you propose to incorporate these standards into the facility? 7. Will the proposed structure withstand environmental extremes (bases from Georgia to Alaska, consider wind, rain, snow, etc)? 8. What kind of insulation, soundproofing, windows, etc. would you propose? 9. Given your experience, what would be your general cost estimate to develop a solution for the facility? 10. Based on your understanding of H2F and the 5 domains, how would your approach factor in unique facilities or capabilities toward augmenting H2F goals? 11. Describe your approach to indoor partitioning (walls, rooms, hallways, etc.)
