Project Title: Soldier and Family Assistance Center (SFAC), Fort Polk, LA. The Contract Specialist for this solicitation will be Krista L. Davis, 817-886-1047; or by e-mail at krista.l.davis@usace.army.mil.
This solicitation is for the design and construction of the Soldier and Family Assistance Center (SFAC). The SFAC serves as a transitional facility, which bridges the gap between family assistance and assisting the soldier in personal adjustments. Soldier assistance by family members is a critical element in the recovery from injuries. Child activity areas, financial assistance, meeting rooms, kitchenette, chaplain and other assistance-type functions to accommodate both the soldiers and their families are provided in this facility.
The SFAC is part of a larger complex known as the Warriors in Transition (WT) Complex. The WT facilities will support soldiers temporarily while they are recuperating from injuries sustained during their service in the United States and overseas fighting the Global War on Terror (GWoT). These facilities will provide the best accommodations the Army can build in gratitude for their service and sacrifice. The WT Complexes consist of Soldier Family Assistance Centers (SFACs) and the following facilities constructed by others in a future fiscal year, including separate barracks, and company and battalion administrative offices and are completely handicap accessible.
All of the WT facilities together form a complex and provides a cohesive mission in the healing process of the soldier. The Government reserves the right to solicit each facility type separately, if determined to be in the best interest of the Government, through approval of the acquisition plan. It is the intent of the Government to award both the facility and related site work and supporting features, such as parking lots, as one design-build contract as a result of this solicitation. The duration of this project is expected to be 365 days.
