The US Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has a requirement for Practical Problem Venues (PPV).

N/A

• The goal of the Practical Problem Venues (PPV) project is to provide a technically sophisticated training environment that offers several different types of venues and systems to the FBI, its partners in the DOJ, and other law enforcement agencies
• This goal will be accomplished through In-Play Training Venues, Out-of-Play Support Spaces, and site completion work to build upon the early work package that is currently installing the site and infrastructure in preparation for this project
• At the time of this Sources Sought, the “Early Work Package” is an ongoing effort to prepare the site with efforts such as mass grading, installing utilities, establishing the secure perimeter and construction entrance, roads, building pads, and coordinating with other construction efforts adjacent to the future PPV
• The necessary details of the Early Work Package (such as final site surveys, as-builts, utilities, etc.) will be supplied with the formal solicitation of this project
• The In-Play training venues will range from basic residential construction to complex commercial construction that will represent the varying conditions in the real world
• The goal is to build 3 Out of Play support facilities and up to 39 In-Play Training Facilities totaling around 150,000 square feet. The Out of Play support facilities will be fully functional buildings (all working utilities, plumbing, electricity, designed for habitation for routine office and academic use)
• The In-Play Training Facilities will be mission-driven with varying requirements between facsimile and complete design to provide the appearance of or the reality of a functional building
• In-Play Training Facilities will reflect contemporary environments law enforcement may encounter, such as but not limited to offices; residential homes; utilities facilities; academic environments; businesses; etc.
• It is anticipated that the primary construction delivery method will be Design Bid Build
• However, a small section of the project will be Design-Build/delegated-design to provide 11 residential homes, manufactured homes, sheds or similar small structures
• Offerors will be encouraged to demonstrate maximum creativity to exceed the FBI’s design minimum requirements, while remaining efficient in cost. For example, the FBI would consider “stick built,” modular homes, new construction, prefabricated structures, and/or other solutions
• Overall, the FBI anticipates this to represent 5% or less of the overall project value
• In addition, roadways and sidewalks will be required around the training buildings
