Design-Build, Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Stage Processing Facility, Vandenberg Space Force Base, CA   2

Design and Construct a 1,519 SM (16,352 SF) single story Stage Processing Facility at North Base, Vandenberg SFB to support Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) test operations. The primary facility will accommodate a missile maintenance crew of 5 part time personnel, a rail system to process Stage 1 and Stage 2/3 combinations or a full booster, and shall be sited for HD 1.3 explosives. The project will consist of the steel core and corrugated metal shell structure with concrete foundations, electrical/mechanical service and distribution components/systems, water and sewer, fire protection, lightning protection, security and communications systems. A 5 ton bridge crane will operate over the high bay area of the facility where the weapon system transport semi-tractor and trailers will back up to the booster rails. A Safe and Arm Test Chamber Area (approximately 30sf) is required to test Propellant Actuated Device (PAD) items prior to installation on the missile. This facility will be located within a secure boundary and built to appropriate Anti-terrorism/force protection standards. Site improvements include clearing, grubbing, grading, demolition, as applicable, paving, walks and storm drainage.
