Firm(s) will be evaluated and selected based on demonstrated competence and qualifications, and a contract will be negotiated for the required work. The proposed facility features include command and control operational administrative spaces, meeting and conference rooms; ancillary storage, and administrative support spaces; multi-functional protected building accesses and control systems; protective hardening and Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) shielding; Collective Protective System (CPS) and contamination control area (CCA); controlled access areas (CAA); Command, Control, Communications, Computers, & Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, and Distributed Common Ground Station (DCGS) weapons system; building circulation; electrical and mechanical including heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system and utility infrastructures. Required supporting facilities and its automation systems will likely include building information systems; energy monitoring and control systems; underground utilities metering; electric service metering; security lighting; and fire detection, alarm and suppression systems. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineer Far East District will provide the selected firm with the project scope, design criteria, and users' functional and operational requirements established through the preliminary design charrette (15% design), including the requirement documents (DD1391s) with cost estimates, that will be the basis for going full design phases of 30%, 60%, 90%, and 95% designs through U.S. and ROK approval of 100% design documents. Any subsequent changes to the current requirements will be reviewed and approved through the administrative procedures established by the U.S. and ROK Status of Forces Agreement Joint Committee. The requirement will be performed using, but not limited to, North American Industry Classification (NAICS) codes: 541310 for Architectural Services and 541330 for Engineering Services. This is an unrestricted acquisition open to all business concerns. A firm-fixed-price contract will be negotiated. The contract is anticipated to be awarded before Fiscal Year 2018 and design period is approximately 24 months following the contract award. If a large business is selected for this contract, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan on that part of work it intends to subcontract.

To obtain information regarding registering in SAM, call 1-866-606-8220, or log on to Internet web site at https://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM/#1. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The Korea Air and Space Operations Center (KAOC) is a planned facility to centralize functions currently located in the existing Hardened Theater Air Control Center and the Korea Combined Operational Intelligence Center at Osan Air Base, Korea. The KAOC will be a modern command and control air and space operations center that oversees air operations and distributed common ground station weapon systems supporting the U.S. Forces Korea and the U.S. and Korea Combined Forces Command in the defense of the Korean peninsula. The design requirement for the proposed KAOC facility incorporates protective threat-based design, which will include multiple Secure Working Areas (SWAs), as well as non-SWAs, electromagnetic pulse protection, TEMPEST protection, chemical biological, radiological collective protection system, "N-1" redundancy system and is ability to operate up to five (5) days endurance period. The KAOC facility is approximately 700,000 GSF in size that will support 2,400 U.S. and ROK personnel working 24 hours a day" for the endurance period. Total of six (6) mission areas within the KAOC facility include U.S.-Only Secure Work Area (SWA), U.S.-only Non-SWA, ROK-US SWA and non-SWA, and ROK-only SWA and non-SWA. A-E services during construction - an optional requirement desired by the Government - will be expected to last for approximately three (3) years. A-E services during construction will be required for preparation of systems-oriented operations and maintenance manual, CPS O&M manual and A-E participating with government CPS certification team, participation in partnering workshop, witness of selected equipment testing, review of construction contractor submittals, commissioning of HVAC systems, RFI responses and shop drawings for HVAC system, and CPS, etc. A construction security plan will be developed during design phases by the U.S. Cognizant Security Authority (CSA) to satisfy the U.S. Intelligence Community Directive 705 (ICD 705). The ICD 705 requirements may apply to design and construction of one or more secure working areas (SWAs). The selected A-E firm may be required to provide classified designs meeting Office of Director of National Intelligence promulgated ICD 705 requirements and ICD 705's application to design and construction of ‘secured facility' projects. The selected A-E firm shall have, or demonstrate the ability to obtain a US Defense Security Service (DSS) DoD Facility Clearance (FCL) of SECRET and shall demonstrate the ability to store and process classified material in accordance with Executive Order #13526. Additional consideration will be given to firms that already possess a FCL at the Secret level. The National Security Agency will serve as the Accrediting Official for the KAOC facility project. Experience with and or ability to undertake ICD 705 design work will be required by the A-E which may ultimately be selected for the project. Key personnel of the A-E firm and any of its sub-consultants, will need to be U.S. concerned citizens, possessing or able to obtain required security clearances to perform U.S. SCIF related designs. The selected A-E firm(s) and their key personnel will be fully vetted by the CSA prior to selection for design and construction of U.S. SWAs. 3.
