COMBAT RESCUE HELICOPTER (CRH) SIMULATOR FACILITY, JBER, ALASKA (JBE089)

This is a pre-solicitation notice for a 100% Small Business Set Aside Request for Proposals (RFP) to construct a Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH) Operational Flight Trainer (OFT) facility utilizing conventional design and construction methods to accommodate the mission of the facility. The work includes construction of a new, properly sited, single floor, 8,202 square foot Combat Rescue Helicopter Simulator Facility that is fully configured. The new building will support the simulator for the HH-60W helicopter, its supporting equipment, briefing/debriefing room, mission planning room, instructors' office, administrative office, building support rooms, and toilet facilities.

The facility will be slab on grade foundation with cold weather-insulated, shallow continuous strip footings, and a thickened cold weather-insulated mat foundation will be located directly below the simulator equipment. The exterior shell of the Simulator Bay will have masonry veneer and metal panel on reinforced concrete masonry units (CMU). The one-story administration areas will be constructed of masonry veneer and metal panel on metal studs.

The roof will be low slope standing seam structural metal roofing, with snow guards to provide mitigation of sliding snow. The simulator bay and associated areas will be constructed to collateral secret open storage criteria. There will be a large overhead door into the simulator bay which will also feature an interior overhead crane to move equipment.

The work also includes the required site clearing, relocation of utilities, grade changes, connecting the new building systems into the existing base-wide systems, and incidental related work. The estimated dollar magnitude of this project is anticipated between $17,000,000 and $22,000,000. The performance period will be approximately 730 calendar days.
