The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District has been tasked to solicit for and potentially award a design-bid-build project to support the mission of Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic (SWFLANT) and Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific (SWFPAC) providing strategic system support and storage to the fleet and other designated activities. All Storage facilities in the support program are required to be operational no later than 2022. The stored components needed to accomplish the SWFLANT and SWFPAC mission require special handling and storage and is located at Camp Navajo (Bellemont), AZ approximately 12 miles West of Flagstaff Arizona. Consideration will need to be given to constructing without interruption to adjacent operations. This includes special construction factors and the requirement for additional inspections of workers, vehicles and equipment associated within controlled industrial areas; traffic mitigation (barriers, alternative routes, temporary fencing) to alleviate choke points or to divert traffic away from construction zones; restricted contractor lay-down, parking and/or storage areas; work stoppage for emergency drills, weapons handling; and other events which require heightened security. Proposed Construction will provides modifications and alterations to 10 earth-covered, arch-type magazines for storage of Strategic Systems Programs missile motors. Modifications to the existing magazines will include new reinforced concrete interior slabs on grade with embedded rails. Sections of the concrete interior floors will receive a finish to support the movement of missile motors on chocks via air-bearing pallets. The project(s) will include intrusion detection systems (IDS) and Lightning Protection Systems(LPS). The project also includes mechanical upgrades for seven of the 10 magazines. Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) work includes new air handling units with dehumidification and an outdoor unit. HVAC work also includes concrete pads or structure, piping between indoor and outdoor units, remote mounted controllers that report alarms/status to base wide emergency management system and flow straighteners. Department of Defense and Department of the Navy principles for high performance and sustainable building requirements will be included in the design and construction of the project in accordance with federal laws and Executive Orders. Low Impact Development will be included in the design and construction of this project as appropriate. Pavement facilities include concrete loading dock, stairs, handrails and apron pads. Paving and site improvements include drainage structures (such as culverts and swales), roadways, and landscaping to restore the project site. Electrical utilities include primary and secondary distribution systems and will require the relocation and/or rerouting of the existing system. Telecommunication improvements include the demolition of the abandoned overhead fiber optic line. Demolition includes the deconstruction of the reinforced concrete floor slabs. Facilities will be designed to meet or exceed the useful service life specified in DoD Unified Facility Criteria. Facilities will incorporate features that provide the lowest practical life cycle cost solutions satisfying the facility requirements with the goal of maximizing energy efficiency. This project will provide Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) features and comply with AT/FP regulations, and physical security mitigation in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) Minimum Anti-Terrorism Standards for Buildings. User Generated Unit Costs were used for this project and include the cost features to meet the minimum DoD AT/FP standards. P117 MMM Minimum critical capabilities required include specialized lightning protection, strict tolerance concrete work, security specifications, and ability to work in an active secure operations environment.
