The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, is conducting research to determine the market capabilities of potential contractors to construct a general-purpose storage building for use as a Supply Support warehouse at Fort Bragg, NC. Facility includes Property Book Office (PBO), covered storage, organizational vehicle parking, building information systems, fire protection and alarm systems, and Energy Monitoring Control Systems (EMCS) connection. Sustainability and energy enhancement measures are included. Supporting facilities include underground utilities (water, sewer, gas), electric service, loading docks, ramps, parking and access roads, paving, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, storm drainage, information systems, landscaping, signage, and site improvements. Heating and air conditioning will be provided by self-contained systems, air conditioning is estimated at 20 Tons. Measures in accordance with the Department of Defense (DoD) Minimum Antiterrorism for Buildings standards will be provided. Comprehensive Interior Design and furnishings related design services are required. Accessibility for individuals with disability will be provided. Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 40 years in accordance with DoD's Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1-200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance. The proposed construction is sited in the Yarborough Complex at Fort Bragg, NC in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Eagle Talon Drive and Tora Bora Boulevard. The site is developed with a significant slope from west to east. The building totals 23,310 SF split into separate functions – The GIP area (4,179 SF) is separated (with no interior access) to the other two. The SSA and PBO both have access to the two-story administration area (3,696 SF / Floor) and the warehouse area (11,739 SF). The building has two gabled roofs divided between the two-story administration area and the warehouse portion of the building. The roof ridge of the 3/12 sloped roof at the building’s administration area is approximately 37’-10” above grade. The roof ridge of the 1/12 sloped roof at the building’s warehouse area is approximately 28’-11” above grade. The building is classified as Type IIB w/ a 1 Hr separation between the administration and warehouse areas. The administration area is designed to meet low level of protection from the blast threat requirements for the blast threat. The covered storage area is 6,300 SF and will contain a serviceable and unserviceable area with security fencing. The warehouse area of the SSA will be divided into defined areas (Issue, Receiving, Storage & Turn-in) with distinct functions. These spaces will be provided with counters and workstations. Metal storage bin systems (approximately 13’ tall for a stack of 3 bins) will be utilized throughout the warehouse to hold gear on hand. Other spaces included in the warehouse are a cage storage area & storage vault as well as a forklift charging stations enclosed with an overhead coiling door. The warehouse is provided with four overhead sectional doors (2 loading dock doors w/ levelers and dock seals & 2 doors for forklift access on grade). The administration area houses the majority of the office functions for the facility including, offices, conference rooms, file storage, printing/copying & breakrooms. The building envelope of the administration area has been designed to provide a low level of protection from the designated blast threat and the entire building will meet requirements for forced-entry protection. The GIP area of the facility will be completely separated from the SSA and PBO and will contain its own administration and warehouse spaces. These spaces will contain similar accommodations as listed for the SSA and PBO spaces. The supporting facility elements include all pertinent utilities, employee parking area, fenced secure vehicle parking area, concrete hardstand, walks, curbs and gutters, storm drainage, storm water management, landscape plantings, fencing and signage. Access for the handicapped will be provided throughout the facility. Heat and air conditioning will be self-contained systems. Force protection measures include the use of standoff distances and security fencing with operable gates. Design and construction will follow LEED criteria to meet LEED silver certification.
