Thornton, Contracting Officer, USPFO-MS, telephone number (601)936-7502. Architect-Engineer services are required for the design of facilities located at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, approximately 10 miles south of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The project to be designed is a three lane, multipurpose range complex - heavy. The range will support tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and infantry soldiers in moving, stationary and defilade positions. Targets for this range are computer controlled, stationary and moving to support small and large bore weapons through 120 MM. Targets will behardwired for control and power. Targets and target array will meet the requirements of Field Manual 17-12-1, ``Tank Gunnery, Abrams'', Field Manual 17-12-3, ``Tank Combat Tables, M60A3'' and Field Manual 23-1, ``Bradley Fighting Vehicle Gunnery''. Criteria included in HNDM-1110-1-6, ``Multipurpose Range Complex for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'' dated September 1988, will be used for the overall design of this facility. This facility will be supporting follow-on installation of remote engagement target systems (RETS). Support facilities that are part of the range complex include a control tower, operations/storage buildings, general instruction building, latrines, covered mess structure, ammunition breakdown building and/or loading dock and a bleacher enclosure. Included in the design will be access roads into the facility and to each target mechanism to support wheel and track vehicles. Access roads that support track vehicles will require concrete turning pads. The range will require wheel and track vehicle holding areas. Concrete pads will be required to support conduct of fire trainers (COFT). Electrical service (110/240/480V, Three Phase) will be required. Copies of all applicable manuals will be provided the Architect-Engineer by the Contracting Officer. The contract to be negotiated will be a standard, Department of the Army, firm fixed price Architect-Engineer contract that will include the following services: Type A, Investigative Services, Type B, Design Services, and Type C, Construction Inspection Services.
