Summary
This document summarizes the meeting notes from the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Guam Post Industry Day presentation held on August 22, 2024.
The presentation focused on the planned project for the "P-693 Guam Defense System Command Center" at Andersen Air Force Base, which is part of the Guam Defense System (GDS) program initiated by the Department of Defense. The meeting included insights from representatives of the U.S. government and the Jacobs/Black & Veatch joint venture, with an emphasis on increasing awareness of potential procurement opportunities related to this project.
Key points discussed during the presentation included:
- The project's current status, which is contingent upon the completion of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision (ROD) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
- The command center is designed to be a risk category IV essential facility, emphasizing resilience and reliability akin to that of emergency facilities. It will feature seismic base isolation, corrosion-resistant materials suitable for tropical environments, and must comply with various security requirements including ICD 705 standards.
- The facility will encompass approximately 57,000 square feet and accommodate around 158 personnel.
Further details highlighted included power generation considerations, with primary power sourced from a nearby substation and backup systems designed for seamless transition during emergencies.
The presentation also addressed schedule challenges such as potential hazardous materials encountered during demolition activities and long lead times for critical equipment. Additionally, there was discussion about workforce needs on Guam due to anticipated project demands, with questions raised regarding labor costs and H2B visa availability for non-island workers.
This Industry Day served as a platform for stakeholders to understand project requirements and foster collaboration among contractors involved in this significant defense initiative.
