C -- ARCHITECT-ENGINEER SERVICES CONTRACT FOR DESIGN TO UPGRADE BALLISTIC MISSILE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM, CLEAR AS, ALASKA SOL DACA85-96-R-0019 POC Administrative Inquiries: Ms. June Wohlbach, 907/753-5624 or Technical Inquiries: Mr. David Piening, 907/753-5600, Contracting Officer: Ms. Gail West AMENDMENT NO. 2: The announcement made on 7 May 96 and Amendment No. 1 made on 3 June 96 are replaced in their entirety with the following: 1. CONTRACT INFORMATION: This announcement is open to all businesses regardless of size. If a largebusiness is selected for this contract, it must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontracting plan for that part of the work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals for this contract are a minimum of 60.3% of thecontractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with small businesses, 9.8% of that to small, disadvantaged businesses, and 2.9% to woman-owned businesses. The subcontracting plan is not required with this submittal. All responders are advised thatthis project may be cancelled or revised at any time during the solicitation, selection, evaluation, negotiation and final award. Contract award is anticipated for Sep 96. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: Design construction documents for the construction of a6,800 square meter multistory structure to house a phased array radar system at Clear AS, Alaska. The phased array radar system is scheduled to replace the existing Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) at Clear AS. The BMEWS will remain inoperation until the phased array system has been constructed and accepted. The phased array system requires a different structure than the BMEWS system, different power and cooling requirements and a differnet mission control area. The phased arraystructure will include a mission control center (MWOC) and associated administrative offices. The phased array structure will be constructed 3000 feet away from the existing BMEWS radar. The phased array radar system components are existing and thedesign and construction of their installation in the phased array structure will be completed by others. Utility capacity at Clear AS is assumed to be adequate to support the phased array radar system, but there will be a period when both the BMEWS andthe phased array system are in operation. Electrical power at Clear AS is provided by a coal fired cogeneration steam turbine power plant. The demolition of the three existing mult-story BMEWS radar fences will be designed under this project.Demolition of these fences shall occur as soon as possible after the phased arrays system is operational and accepted by the user. None of the BMEWS equipment, equipment support or mission control rooms can be utilized for the new phased arraysystem. The structure to house the phased array system shall be designed to mount the radar faces and contain radar support equipment such as heat, cooling, power and rooms for other support equipment. The mission control area will require securityand intrusion security systems. The design must accommodate the technical requirements of the phased array radar system. This includes; but is not limited to the following. 1. Ensuring the rigidity of the structure to prevent the distortion of radarimages caused by building movement. 2. Sufficient power generation and transmission to operate the radar and not cause voltage fluctuation elsewhere on the site. 3. Cooling for the radar elements via available cold water wells or by mechanical means.4. Protection of interior building equipment and personnel from arctic climate. 5. Continuous operation of the BMEWS radar during construction and phase in of the phased array radar system. The phased array structure will be designed with TEMPEST,HEMP, SCIF security systems and RF shielding techniques. This project is being considered for design/build or conventional design. The design team lead discipline shall be left to the discretion of each proposer. Each proposer shall present a designteam led by a design leader that the proposer feels will be the best lead for the management of the design. The design team leader will possess project management abilities. The design team leader will be required to coordinate the design of thephased array radar structure with the Air Force owner, the Clear AS base engineer, the phased array radar designer, the contractor who will operate the phased array radar, and the contractor operating the BMEWS radar. The estimated construction cost isgreater than $40,000,000.--LOCATION: Clear AS, Alaska. 3.
