Construction may include, but is not limited to, a single-story building with reinforced concrete foundation and walls, and a roof structure of steel-joist with insulated standing seam metal panels. The building will include high bay equipment processing areas, inert equipment storages, a test area, and personnel support spaces. One processing area will include a semi-truck drive through lane. The test area will include a pit and test stand for conducting weight tests of launcher equipment. Constructs two storage facilities which are entirely reinforced concrete structures. Each design-approved structure will include a mechanical room and a storage space for launcher equipment and material containing explosives. Facility-related control systems include cybersecurity features in accordance with current Department of Defense (DoD) criteria. Special construction features include soundproofing of designated sections of the facility and structural premiums required to support the crane system (e.g., over-sized columns, reinforced sections of flooring). Special construction features will also provide with one or more of the following features: one or more strengthened walls, venting to relieve excessive gas or shock pressures, or frangible construction of sections of the structure. Site preparation includes erosion and sediment control measures, tree removal, site clearing, earthwork, grading and preparation for construction. Special foundation features include structural fill to backfill and level the site. Electrical utilities include primary and secondary distribution systems, outside lighting, transformers, and telecommunications infrastructure. Project will be design-bid-build (DBB). NAICS Code: 236220. In accordance with DFARS 236.204(iii), the magnitude of construction is anticipated to be between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000.
