PWS 1: FACILITY PLANS, STRATEGIES, AND ANALYSES (INDIRECT)

1. OBJECTIVES:

1.1 . To develop and update plans and strategies for overall facility management to include capacity planning, strategic planning, and investment planning. The results of this planning will provide a tool/roadmap for decision makers regarding facility and investment strategies at Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HSAAP).

2. BACKGROUND:

2.1. Joint Program Executive Office Armaments & Ammunition (JPEO A&A), as executor of Department of Defense's Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition, is responsible for conventional ammunition production base strategic planning and execution of the Production Base Support (PBS) program.

2.1.1. Industrial Preparedness Planning (IPP) is performed to document production capabilities and capacities, perform production base analyses, assist in developing acquisition strategies, and assessing risks, as well as make proper production base decisions. This PWS is for the Contractor to provide HSAAP production base data as required for the Government to perform the IPP mission.

2.1.2. The PBS program provides funding for investment and modernization for industrial base capabilities. The effort under this PWS is for the planning and analyses for PBS projects at HSAAP as well as to support long term strategic planning at HSAAP. Execution of individual PBS projects are direct funded via separate Statements of Works (SOWs), or in some instances, separate support SOWs for the Operating Contractor to support PBS projects performed by others.

The PBS program supports three types of projects:

• Provision of Industrial Facilities (PIF). PIF projects may include a new production capability, expansion of current capacity, or modernization of existing facilities to current standards. Modernization efforts should consider improved operating efficiency and reduced operating costs as well as sustainment and readiness of critical capabilities. Modernization efforts should consider improving operational safety, quality of the product, and the quality of the work environment. Modernization efforts should consider emerging environmental requirements.

• Layaway of Industrial Facilities (LIF). LIF projects transition industrial facilities or equipment from production status to long-term storage. LIF projects may also include decontamination, disposal, and/or demolition of excess Government owned property.

• Maintenance of Inactive Facilities (MIF). MIF projects fund efforts to maintain inactive facilities in a laid-away state, ensuring they are available for future use. MIF projects only apply to facilities approved for long-term storage under the LIF program.

3. REQUIREMENTS:

6. Project Narrative:

a. Objective: Objective statement should be one or two sentences which clearly states the objective of the project. What is the desired end state? What is to be accomplished with this project?

Example: Road Upgrade Repairs Project

Objective: Provide a safe and reliable vehicular transportation network.

Example: Electrical Distribution Upgrade Project

Objective: A more reliable, more efficient, modernized electrical distribution infrastructure that will reduce maintenance costs and exposure to failure events that would otherwise result in significant production stoppages.

b. Background: Explain the current state of the system, infrastructure, equipment, etc. Provide specifics as applicable: age, products or mission supported, any previous phases and assessments with findings. Why is this equipment needed? Is it in compliance with an Army Regulation or other Safety/Environmental compliance requirements?

(Example) Currently, the electrical distribution XXXX operating area of XXAAP are archaic and in most cases beyond serviceable repair. The majority of the electrical system in the XXXX area has not been replaced since their original installation in 1960’s. Following the Electrical Distribution Phase 2 project, which updated the electrical distribution systems for the XXXX area based on the 2015 assessment and findings. The assessment determined the scope of phase 2 and will factor into the scope of this project.

This project will be of similar size and scope and will focus on updating the distribution systems for XXXX. The year 2017 alone has been the cause of XXX production outages. The infrastructure is beyond its expected performance life and requires updating of numerous vital components. The electrical infrastructure , poles and cross arms, are found to be rotted at the base of the poles underground, and the cross arms are severely deformed due to the tensions and stresses they hold. Electrical components in the area are equally failing and unreliable due to their age and susceptibility to weather events.

The major challenge of continuing operations under current conditions involves exposing critical areas of operations to unnecessary failure modes that will only continue to compound in complexity and probability the longer this modernization effort is delayed.

c. Need: Explain why the project is required. Provide specifics regarding failure rates and impacts to mission. What deliveries have been delayed because of issues? Are there new Safety, Security, Environmental, or Operational requirements that need to be implemented to maintain compliance?

(Example) The electrical infrastructure of the AAP is becoming increasingly difficult to keep operational because of the scarcity of spare parts for the aging electrical systems and the amount of downtime caused by the long lead time obtaining these parts.

d. Requirement: Provide specifics for what you will be doing in this project? Is it an assessment? Will demolition be required? Are you replacing equipment? If so, what equipment including ancillary will be removed and replaced? Is this project design only? Explain what you will be included in design. If the project is Design/Build explain the specific activities associated with each. Explain the technical approach: Processes to be included, items to be addressed and equipment to be used in the final design or execution of this project.

(Example) A preliminary list of items to be replaced or repaired is as follows:

i. (350) Power poles with cross arms and hardware, including Grounding wire/clamps with Butt Ground, and Ground Rods 5/8”x10’. Including all Guy Wire, Guy Breaks, Guy Protectors, Guy Hardware, Strand Vices, Bust anchors. Including hardware for reattachment of communication (snowshoe) and secondary circuits.

ii. (250) Intermediate Communications poles with hardware, including Grounding wire/clamps with Butt Ground, and Ground Rods 5/8”x10’.

Including all Guy Wire, Guy Breaks, Guy Protectors, Guy Hardware, Strand Vices, Bust anchors. Including hardware for reattachment of communication (snowshoe) and secondary circuits.

iii. (14,000) Ft runs * 4 cables per runs = (56,000) Ft 4/0 ACSR.

iv. (30,000) Ft runs * 2 cables per runs = (60,000) Ft 1/0 ACSR.

v. (42,000) Ft runs * 2 cables per runs = (84,000) Ft #2 ACSR.

vi. (65,000) Ft Static Line#4 ACSR Wire.

vii. (7,000) Ft Duplex 600VAC Wire 60 amp.

viii. (2,000) Ft Triplex 600VAC Wire 100 amp.

ix. (2,000) Ft Quadruplx 600 VAC Wire 200 amp.

xviii. Street lights (250) extender arms, contactors, transformers, pig tails.

xix. (200) Dead Ends.

xx. (200) Hot Tap Saddles including eyelet screws

xxi. Complete Pole and hardware replacement at the river crossing, cabling replacement is not required. Pole count for river crossing is approximately 15 poles

xxii. Various spare parts and mounting pads as required.

xxiii. Tree removal and trimming

Areas of consideration related to requirements:

Code Requirements:

• Evaluate existing system and identify upgrade requirements based on code changes from 1960s

Poles:

• Develop a drawing for placement of new poles within an acceptable distance from existing poles so as to enable seamless transition without significant power interruption

• An accounting of the number of poles, and height of each pole

• An accounting of cross arms needed for replacement

• Any other pertinent data related to poles for the repair and replacement of the system

Lighting:

• An accounting of the number of lights for replacement. With recommendations for efficiencies with the new pole layout (identify areas where light poles can be combined with power poles)

Conduit and Connections

• All cable connections made on the primary line using barrel connectors shall be double checked to verify that proper crimping is done to prevent premature failure. If at all possible, where a cable is ended and has to be continued, the use of double dead-ends should be utilized. If the cable spool ends in the middle of a span and barrel connectors are to be used, then refer back to the above mentioned statement.

• All connections to a primary of a pole mount transformer or cutout shall be made using hot-tap saddles.

Tree/Brush Clearing:

• Identify areas where there is a need to trim back any trees and brush that may or will interfere with the access, maintenance, and operation of the circuits or replacement efforts.
