The proposed design/bid/build project renovates approximately 6,300 square feet of space on the First Floor of Building 654. Constructed in 1985, building 654 is a three story (with penthouse for mechanicals), concrete framed research facility located in Area B. The scope of the renovation will include demolition and retrofit of 3,225 square feet of conventional laboratory space for epitaxial growth materials and characterization labs. It will also include 1,955 square feet of cleanroom facilities for fabrication of devices requiring lithography, deposition, and etch processes. The remaining 820 square feet is required for mechanical and process support equipment for the labs and cleanroom. Additionally, supporting mechanical and electrical equipment will be installed in the Ground Floor mechanical room, and a new exhaust fan is planned for installation on the roof using existing duct risers for connection to the 1st Floor laboratories. Use of existing infrastructure and supporting systems such as compressed air and nitrogen will be incorporated. Wherever possible, existing equipment and distribution will be utilized however, some upgrades of these systems are required. A new stand-by generator will be provided to supply stand-by power to the Epi Growth laboratories. Minimal swing space is needed and is currently This project will comply with applicable DoD Air Force, and base design standards. In addition, local materials and construction techniques shall be used where cost effective. Facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 3-260-02). This project will comply with DOD antiterrorism/force protection requirements per UFC 4-010-01. MISSION-RELATED CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS: IEST RP-CC012 Considerations in Cleanroom Design, NFPA 318 Standard for the Protection of Semiconductor Fabrication Facilities, as referenced in the building and fire codes and applicable to this project. These processes demand a clean, relatively quiet, and stable lab environment. Laboratory space, including a cleanroom, is required for protection of the in-process samples from airborne particulates. Contract duration is estimated at 450 calendar days. The estimated cost range is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. NAICS code is 236220.
