The 47th Contracting Flight at Laughlin Air Force Base (AFB), Texas is seeking responsible sources to establish a Firm Fixed-Price Architect and Engineering Contract in which the awarding company will be responsible for a 100% design only for a Human Performance Training Center (HPTC) project. The purpose is to provide a 100% design only for a new HPTC approximately 10,000 square feet. BACKGROUND: The requirement for an HPTC is directed by guidance from 19 AF/CC, as one of the Command's Innovation Priorities to enhance training quality for all training programs. Implementing this priority requires space for fitness, body composition, and cognitive training equipment not located within the base gym or local Medical Group. Proposed new facility site is located in the block surrounded by Second Street, Liberty Drive, Laughlin Drive, and Arnold Boulevard. This site currently has a basketball court with a baseball field and tennis court adjacent. Architectural and Engineering (A/E) services are required to develop a complete set of 100% design documents for a new HPTC. The A/E shall furnish all materials, labor, tools, equipment, transportation, and all other incidentals necessary to complete the work outlined in this Statement of Objectives (SOO) and provide a complete 100% design package for the HPTC.
