The contractor shall provide design/layout, delivery, and installation of all equipment needed to support the Battle Staff room, Control Center and Alarm Monitor rooms, Conference Room, Classroom and Building Media and Information Systems.
The Control Center sources sought will have the following specifications (these specifications are not meant to be definitive, but represent in summary form, the general areas to be supported):
1. General: The unique nature of security force operations require specially designed and installed equipment to make best use of the man hours used. During contingencies three or more major operations may be executed simultaneously, each requiring different procedures and each critical to the base's ability to continue its mission. The below specialty areas require additional furniture and systems acquisitions to enable the SFS to provide optimum support to the base mission. Selection will be based on the submission that best supports Security Force operations.
1.1. Battle Staff (BDOC): Primarily provides oversight for security operations during contingencies. The Commander and staff need access to up to the minute information about contingency situations, current manning, and responding forces so that they can evaluate and direct forces effectively to limit damage to the base mission. A Battle Staff Concept of Operations document is provided in Attachment #1 and submissions should be designed to support the operations outlined in this document. Items listed below are considered operational must haves.
1.2. Control Center: The security control center is the nerve center of security force operations, receiving input from the field, synthesizing it for use by the Battle Staff, and enacting orders of the Battle Staff. A Control Center Concept of Operations document is provided in Attachment #2 and submissions should be designed to support the operations outlined in this document. Items listed below are considered operational must haves.
1.3. Conference Room: A comprehensive presentation system is desired; video conferencing capability is also desired.
1.4. Training Classroom: A comprehensive presentation system that includes a video recording package is needed.
1.5. Media and Information System: The building is designed with a number of video screens throughout. A media package that connects these to the base IPTV system and allows us to post crucial information that will page across the screen, keeping security forces informed without the use of multiple bulletin boards placed around the building is needed.

Attachment #1
Battle Staff
Concept of Operations
Battle Staff Room Details:
The Battle Staff is manned by a senior SF member(s) during a contingency or emergency situation. The person(s) working in this room need the ability to monitor all actions being taken by the Security Forces Control Center Operator, yet also be able to conduct their own business uninterrupted. Therefore the best concept is for the battle staff room to overlook the SFCC, separated by windows. Ideally, there would be a doorway between the two rooms and a sliding window at a reasonable location where the SFCC Operator and Battle Staff members could exchange paperwork and information.
Equipment needed is as follows:
- STE (1 minimum) for ability to contact outside agencies on a secure line
- 1 Desktop computer w/large screen dedicated to GEOBASE or other emergency response tools. Wall mount flat screens are most desirable.
- 1 Desktop computer w/large screen dedicated to completing reports, papers, etc., as required based on the situation, wall mount flat screens are most desirable.
- 1 Printer.
- 1 copy machine (this could be shared with SFCC)
- 1 fax machine - better if this one is dedicated to Battle Staff.
- Workstations for 3-4 personnel, including desk space, chairs.
- Reference library with access to all required checklists, 0Plans, AFIs, etc.
- Large base grid map and mapping tools (disks, dry erase markers, etc.)
- Large dry erase white board w/supplies
- 1 or 2 lockers with emergency response kits/supplies inside them. (Currently we just have this stuff stuck in a corner).
- Lighting controls - recessed lighting with dimmers works best
- Phone systems with 2-4 lines including direct line to EOC, Command Post, etc. Small area for coffee pot, supplies, microwave.
- Ability for Video Tele Conference setup. All required hardware and software will be coordinated with pertinent on base agencies that support this service (COMM).
- MacDill Base station- ability to switch frequencies talk to any org on base via base station/handheld radio.
- Wall mount flat screen w/cable of IPV hookup for local/national news stations for updated news during catastrophe, national emergency, hurricane evacuation, etc.
