PROJECT Location and Description:

This upcoming solicitation will be executed using a design-bid-build (DBB) project delivery method, which will require the contractor to provide the Government with a complete facility and warranty based on the Request for Proposal (RFP).

B-21 Weapons Release Systems Shop (WRSS), Ellsworth Air Force Base (EAFB), South Dakota (SD).

This is one of several major construction projects that serves as part of a multi-year facilities beddown in support of the B-21 program at EAFB, SD. This project will renovate approximately +/- 50,000 SF of an existing facility. The modifications at the exterior will include an accessible entrance. Conventional construction demolition and new construction will be employed for this project. A new communications room will be included as well as systems to serve new rooms or areas experiencing a change in function or use that would require updates. This anticipates that the utilities, site, and building parameters remain un-affected (with the possible exception of the communication utility).

The project may include bid options for furniture, furnishing and equipment (FF&E), user-funded equipment, intrusion detection systems (IDS), access control systems (ACS), and closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems.

Facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01, General Building Requirements and UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements. The facility must be compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, aircraft, and base design standards. In addition, sustainable (green) construction materials and techniques shall be used where cost effective and/or where specified. This project will comply with DoD antiterrorism/force protection requirements per unified facilities criteria.

Special construction and functional requirements: Demolition of existing facilities and infrastructure – to include hazardous materials and soils may be required.

The facility contains multiple secure spaces to be designed and constructed. Special oversight of this project may also be required.
