Services will include design of new operations and administrative facilities for C-17 Squad Ops/AMU. The work may include, but not be limited to, the preparation of pre-concept design, concept design and final design documents. Construction support services may be included as an option. Design will be in metric units. Cost estimates will be prepared in the Corps of Engineers Computer Aided Cost Estimating System M-CACES Gold). Design drawings shall be produced in a format (AUTO CADD) compatible with Intergraph Microstation 32 V4.03 or higher. Specifications will be produced and prepared using Corps of Engineers Military Guide Specifications, and prepared using SPECSINTACT. Project Description: Design new two-story Squadron Operations/ Aircraft Maintenance Unit Facility with concrete foundation, masonry walls, structural steel frame, sloping SSM roof system, fire protection system, utilities, elevator, site improvements and air conditioning, 65KW; in the infield area at McChord AFB. The project combines maintenance and operations personnel for a C-17 aircraft squadron into one facility of approximately 3,300 SM. This is the last of four Squad Ops/AMU facilities to house the C-17/C-141 squadrons. Space is required for Squad Ops/AMU management support, briefing/debriefing, flight planning, training and testing, tool rooms, standardization/evaluation, locker rooms, flying/ground safety, bench stock, mobility office, scheduling and technical order library. 2.
