Per the owner, as of March 4, 2024, they are still in the pre-solicitation phase for this project and no award has been made at this time. Closed sources-sought notice has been included below for reference. .............. This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE for information only. Replies by interested parties will be used by this agency for preliminary planning purposes. No proposal or contract will be awarded from this notice. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this notice or any follow up information requests. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has been tasked to solicit and award a FY25 firm-fixed price contract for Construction of an Air Education Training Command Formal Training Unit at Vandenberg SFB, CA. Background: There is not a Formal Training Unit at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The Minuteman III weapon system Air Education and Training Command training center is currently housed at multiple buildings within the training complex at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The Ground Based Strategic Deterrent weapon system is an entirely overhauled system and does not emulate the Minuteman III weapon system, requiring Sentinel Ground Based Strategic Deterrent specific training devices/capabilities (operations, maintenance, and security forces) that cannot be provided by the current Minuteman III training devices/capabilities. The current Minuteman III program training facility does not have the ability or capacity to accommodate new Sentinel Ground Based Strategic Deterrent specific trainers, and would degrade training operations to both programs. This project consists of furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment in connection with Air Force MILCON Project Number XUMU212936, Sentinel AETC Formal training Unit, Vandenberg SFB, CA The work is briefly described as follows, but is not the entire scope of the project: This is a design bid build project to Construct approximately 177,490SF Air Education and Training Command Formal Training Unit at Vandenberg Space Force Base to support Sentinel (Ground Based Strategic Deterrent) training for Maintenance and Operations. A single training facility will integrate student instruction and lab curriculum reducing student transit between multiple venues, and facilitate instructor collaboration. The Sentinel Air Education and Training Command Formal Training Unit will be located near the existing Minuteman III training facilities off California and Washington Avenue on Vandenberg Space Force Base, CA. The structure will consist of a steel core structure with concrete foundations, electrical/mechanical service and distribution components/systems, water and sewer, fire protection, lightning protection, security and communications systems. Some areas within the secure space of the Air Education and Training Command Formal Training Unit will require additional security depending on the final determination for clearance levels based upon the training curriculum. Site improvements include clearing, grubbing, grading, minor demolition, paving, walkways, and storm drainage. The facility will be comprised of Maintenance Training Bays, Operations Training Labs, Air Education and Training Command Headquarters and Training Instructor offices, and Academic Space. There will be approximately 113 parking spaces required for this facility. The Maintenance Training Bays will facilitate new personnel with initial training for maintenance tasks associated with Sentinel (GBSD) weapon system. One of the bays will allow parking of Payload Transporter, Maintenance Vans, and government operating vehicles and have driving lanes to California Boulevard. Two overhead cranes will be needed in the maintenance training bays to assist with oversized trainers. The Operations Training Labs will consist of Launch Controller Crew Procedures Trainers and other lab/training spaces to house the initial training for operations personnel. Facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria 1-200-01, General Building requirements. This project will comply with Department of Defense antiterrorism/force protection requirements per Unified Facilities Criteria 4-010-01.
