There is no special equipment or equipment support included in construction of this facility. Because this facility is considered mission essential to the Air Force, it will be supported by piles to eliminate settlement of the structure and slab during a seismic event. Exterior materials will include Charleston Air Force Base standard metal roofing, brick veneer, and aluminum framed windows. The addition of precast concrete wall panels may be used to relate to the nearby Wing Commander's Building. Interior finishes will be in accordance with the HQ AMC Design Guide. Cooling is needed in all spaces of the building. In order to control the conditioned air in the large storage rooms, grocery store type automatic sliding doors will be used as the primary dock access for normal traffic in and out. Strict humidity control will not be necessary; however, the system will be designed so that mildew will be kept off the stored material. A mechanized materials storage and handling system will be purchased and installed by the Government after construction of the building is complete. A clear height of 20 feet will be provided in the two storage spaces in order to maximize the efficiency of this system. A gas fired boiler will be used and a chiller will be provided so that the building will not be connected to the base central steam or chilled water systems. This will allow for 24 hour control of temperature and humidity by the user. For fire protection, the building will be 100% sprinklered. THIS SOLICITATION IS ADVERTISED AS UNRESTRICTED. Estimated cost of project is $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 . Estimated duration of the contract is 365 calendar days for completion. (0055)
