Demolition, site work, paving and new construction of a mixed-use development in Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts. Completed plans call for the construction of a 160,000-square-foot laboratory facility.

Construction began July 2022. Award Details Contract Award Date: Jan 27, 2022 Contract Award Number: W912WJ22C0002 Task/Delivery Order Number: Contractor Awarded Unique Entity ID (DUNS): 117023781 Contractor Awarded Unique Entity ID (SAM): FNFYEZXNGWF5 Contractor Awarded Name: GILBANE-EXYTE A JOINT VENTURE Contractor Awarded Address: Providence, RI 02903-3638 USA Base and All Options Value (Total Contract Value): $276858491.00 The scope of this project includes construction of a new Compound Semiconductor Laboratory and Microelectronics Integration Facility (CSL-MIF). This facility will contain new laboratory and office space including a clean room complex. The total cleanroom area is approximately 35,000 net square feet, which includes cleanroom bays and chases; associated HVAC and electrical requirements; secure communications areas;hazardous, toxic, and corrosive process liquid and gas storage, transport, distribution and associated waste collection systems; and a structural and foundation system that minimizes vibrations and noise in the lab space. The facility will be designed to meet Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) standards for vibration control (VC) to VC-C, VC-D, and VC-E at select locations throughout the new building. Site electrical work will include installation of new medium voltage feeders from a utility provided connection point to a new switchgear to be installed adjacent to the existing electrical building. Feeders shall be installed approximately 0.25 miles from this new switchgear to the new building. The location for the new CSL-MIF is presently a parking lot on a constricted site. Site improvements will include on-site access roads, new utility connections, demolition and relocation of existing utilities, landscaping, stormwater management measures, and all other work necessary to make this a complete and usable facility. As part of this project, an expansion of the existing chilled water plant is required to provide the capacity to handle the cooling loads of the new building. New chilled water supply and return lines shall be installed from the chilled water plant addition to the new building approximately 0.25 miles away. A new electrical substation shall be provided to service the addition to the chilled water plant. Both the new CSL-MIF and the addition to the chilled water plant are considered low occupancy buildings in accordance with UFC 4-010-01. The project includes removal and disposal of suspected asbestos cement pipe as described in Section 02 82 00 ASBESTOS REMEDIATION. BACKGROUND The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) chartered to apply advanced technology to problems of national security. The Advanced Compound Semiconductor Laboratory and Microsystems Integration Facility (CSL-MIF) building is a Military Construction-Air Force (MCAF) project programmed for construction in Fiscal Year 2019 but is currently projected to be constructed in Fiscal Year 2022. The project scope of work includes the construction of a new Advanced Compound Semiconductor Laboratory and Microsystems Integration Facility on the MIT LL campus, which is located on Hanscom Air Force Base (HAFB), Lexington, Massachusetts. The CSL-MIF consists of approximately 162,000 gross square feet (GSF) of new laboratory and office space which includes a Clean Room complex for use by the Advanced Technologies Division of MIT LL. The intent of the CSL is to consolidate MIT LL's existing compound semiconductor materials growth, fabrication and characterization facilities. The intent of the MIF is to consolidate and enhance MIT LL's facilities for the fabrication and packaging of specialized advanced electronic prototypes. These changes are necessary to effectively and efficiently ensure MIT LL can continue to apply advanced technology to problems of national security throughout the 21st Century. The building is anticipated to be three levels, and constructed using concrete foundations, a steel and reinforced concrete superstructure and energy efficient building systems, envelope, and roofing. The new building will be connected to other MIT LL buildings via a pedestrian connector bridge as part of this project. Specialized construction requirements include large and sophisticated clean rooms for microprocessor development and experimentation (the total cleanroom area under filter is approximately 35,000 net square feet, designed to Federal Standard (FED STD) 209E Class 10/International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Class 4 standards); associated complex HVAC and electrical requirements; secure communications areas; hazardous, toxic, and corrosive process liquid and gas storage, transport, distribution and associated waste collection systems; and a structural and foundation system that minimizes vibrations and noise in the lab space. The facility will be constructed to meet Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) standards for vibration control (VC) to VC-C/D with select portions to VC-E. Required support process utilities include the following: Equipment Cooling Water (ECW), Clean Dry Air (CDA), Three (3) grades of gaseous nitrogen (N2), liquid nitrogen (LN2), Process Vacuum (PVAC), Ultra-Pure Water - semiconductor grade (UPW), 120/208/480V single-phase and three-phase power with UPS, liquid waste treatment (pH adjustment), and abatement of hazardous exhaust streams. Site improvements will include expansion of the main chiller plant, providing a new feed from the main electrical distribution plant, access roads, relocation of existing utilities and new utility connections, landscaping, and all other work necessary to make this a complete and usable facility. Facilities are being designed as permanent construction in accordance with the Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01, General Building Requirements. This project will comply with DoD antiterrorism/force protection requirements per UFC 4-010-01, sustainability principles in accordance with UFC 1-200-02, and High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements. Note that installation of laboratory-owned equipment and high-value tool sets will be completed by others. The contractor will be required to comply with all installation security requirements for personnel, vehicle access, and deliveries of materials. The specific requirements will be identified and included into the solicitation. A project is defined as work performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the IDIQ contract should not be submitted as a project; rather, potential offerors should submit the work performed under a task order as a project. The award of the construction contract will be made using a best value trade-off process in accordance with FAR Part 15, based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government with appropriate consideration given to the non-price and price factors. Offerors should note that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offer.
