JA2 Barksdale AFB Natural Gas Distribution System

JA2.1 Barksdale AFB Overview

Barksdale Air Force Base is located in the northwest portion of Louisiana, within the Shreveport-Bossier City Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Accessible by I-20 (east-west) and I-49 (north-south), Barksdale AFB is approximately 180 miles east of Dallas and 312 miles northwest of New Orleans. Occupying nearly 22,000 acres of land, the Base is bounded by Louisiana Highway 71 on the west and U.S. Highway I-20 on the north.

Barksdale AFB is hosted by the 2d Bomb Wing and is currently home for a number of active duty and reserve component units, including Headquarters Eighth Air Force and the 917th Wing (Air Force Reserve Wing). Units within the 2d Bomb Wing include the 2d Operations

Group, the 2d Logistics Group, the 2d Support Group, and the 2d Medical Group.

Construction of the airfield began in 1931. Barksdale Field was formally dedicated on February 2, 1933, marking the culmination of concerted community action to bring the airfield to the Shreveport area. Weeklong activities in February 1993 marked the 60th anniversary of Barksdale AFB. This celebration included the acceptance of a National Registry of Historic Places certificate placing 264 buildings constructed between 1930 and 1938 in the Barksdale Field Historic District.

The current mission of the 2d Bomb Wing is to develop and maintain operational capability to conduct strategic warfare as an Air Force Global Strike Command Base. The primary assets of the Wing are three active Bomb Squadrons, each composed of B-52H bombers. The 2d Bomb Wing provides global combat capability and trains all B-52 combat crews.

The 917th Wing is a composite wing that operates and maintains both the A-10 Thunderbolt and the B-52H Stratofortress.

The addition of the B-52H to the 917th Wing and the removal of the KC-10 and KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft in 1994 have resulted in a number of changes in the maintenance facilities. On-going projects have focused on consolidating functions and expanding those facilities used by the 917th Wing. There are no other known new missions or planned changes that would significantly affect the current operations, support, personnel, or utility functions at Barksdale AFB.

As of June 2007, the population of Barksdale AFB included approximately 7,306 active and reserve military personnel as well as approximately 1,859 civilian employees. Some 6,141 dependents currently reside on Base.

JA2.2 Natural Gas Distribution System Description

JA2.2.1 Natural Gas Distribution System Fixed Equipment Inventory

The Barksdale AFB natural gas distribution system consists of all appurtenances physically connected to the distribution system from the point of demarcation defined by the Right of Access. The distribution system consists of the items listed in Table 1 “Fixed Inventory Natural Gas Distribution System” in Section JA2.2.1.2 Inventory. The actual inventory of items sold will be in the bill of sale at the time the system is transferred. The following description and inventory is included to provide the Offeror with a general understanding of the size and configuration of the distribution system. The Government makes no representation that the inventory is accurate. The Offeror shall base its proposal on the Table 1 inventory below. However, the Offeror should use the following reference points for developing other aspects of its proposal: site inspections, information in the technical library, and other pertinent information.

Specifically excluded from the natural gas distribution system privatization are:

All meters

Compressed natural gas stations

Military Family Housing (MFH)

Munitions Storage Area (MSA)

Flight Line

Clairborne Air Force Range

JA2.2.1.1 Description

Natural gas is currently supplied to Barksdale AFB by CenterPoint Energy-Arkla (Arkla) at four locations. Arkla high pressure mains are extended to Arkla owned and maintained metering and regulator stations near the base boundary. The pressure is regulated down to approximately 25 psig for distribution throughout the base. Distribution piping and equipment beyond these stations are owned, operated, and maintained by Barksdale AFB.

The average depth of burial of the system is three feet. The remaining original steel mains and service lines are protected by galvanic cell type cathodic protection systems with the exception of the steel mains within Capehart housing, which are protected, by an impressed current system. The amount of gas piping beneath pavement is roughly 5%. Tracer wire is routinely installed on PE pipe and warning tape has been installed approximately twelve inches above the pipes. System odorization is maintained by Arkla.

One of the four Arkla meter and regulator stations is located at the West Gate, in and adjacent to Building 1359. This station serves the main base and apron areas north of Wilbur Wright Drive. A second meter and regulator station is located in a fenced area along Louisiana Boulevard, across from Chapel 2, Building 4221. This station is referred to as the Chapel 2 station and services the main base area located to the south of Wilbur Wright Drive. The third meter and regulator station is located near the south end of the runway, (Attachment JA2 Natural Gas Distribution System Template – SEPTEMBER 2009_REV MAY 2010) User Edited: v07 07Feb11

JA2-4

west of Building 6850 in the vicinity of Mack’s Bayou. This station serves the Barksdale east facilities, NCO Academy Area, and the Munitions Storage Area (MSA). The fourth meter and regulator station is located south of Heritage Heights MFH at the intersection of Erwin Drive and Smith Drive. This station serves Heritage Heights, Capehart, and new housing being constructed in this area of Barksdale AFB.

JA2.2.1.2 Inventory

Table 1 provides a general list of the major natural gas distribution system fixed assets for the Barksdale AFB natural gas distribution system included in the sale. The design life column indicated in Table 1 is used by the Government in the development of the Government Should Cost Estimate. The design life is not mandated in the Offeror’s proposal. However, the proposal must clearly explain the use of any system component design life that significantly differs from the published Government design life.

JA2.12 Right of Access to the Utility System

No leased property was identified with the Natural Gas Distribution system.

JA2.12.1 Map of the Utility System

Maps from the Base Comprehensive Plan or other drawings show the known locations of the utility system and are available in the technical library at the base civil engineer organization. Portions of the utility system may not be fully shown on the map or maps.

Any such failure to show the complete utility system on the map or maps shall not be interpreted as that part of the utility system being outside the Installation. The Installation is co-extensive with the entire linear extent of the utility system sold to Grantee (SO), whether or not precisely shown on the map or maps.

JA2.12.2 Lateral Extent of the Right-of-Access, and Points of Demarcation

JA2.12.2.1 Lateral Extent of Utility System Right-of-Access

For pipe sizes of 24 inches in diameter or less, the lateral extent of the Right-of-Access is defined as 26-feet wide, extending 13 feet on each side of the utility system, as installed.

For pipe sizes greater than 24 inches in diameter, the lateral extent of the Right-of-Access is defined as 50-feet wide, extending 25 feet on each side of the utility system, as installed.

JA2.12.2.2 Utility System Points of Demarcation

The point of demarcation (POD) is defined as the point on the utility system where ownership changes from the utility SO to the facility owner. Table 10 identifies the type and general location of the point of demarcation with respect to the facility for each scenario.
