Recorded on: 22 August 2024 Subject: SAME Guam Post Industry Day Presentation Meeting Notes
An Industry Day meeting was held by the Society of American Military Engineer’s Guam Post (SAME
Guam Post), which included a presentation given by representatives of the US Government (USG) and
Architect/Engineer Joint Venture Jacobs/Black & Veatch (JV). The topic of the presentation was an overview of a planned project on Andersen Air Force Base titled “P-693 Guam Defense System Command
Center.” The Guam Defense System (GDS) is an announced program by the Department of Defense and the proposed project is one component of this program. Following Guam Post announcements and other
Post business, the presentation started. See presentation slides for additional information.
In summary fashion, the following occurred or was discussed:
• Presentation portion of the meeting started at 0938.
• Mr. Doug Grant, P.E., with the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), spoke first after introductions.
• Goal of the presentation is to increase awareness of the potential project and provide some information on upcoming procurement opportunities.
• The entire presentation is predicated on the fact this project is not yet final and the determination to construct or not a Command Center facility is pending completion of the Enhanced Integrated
Air and Missile Defense (EIAMD) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision
(ROD) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
• An overview of MDA’s mission and purpose was provided.
• There is a lot of coordination ongoing across different stakeholders and locations on the island.
• An overview of MDA’s requirements process was provided. These requirements drive the project and means a greater amount of involvement throughout the project lifecycle by stakeholders.
• An overview of the Command Center requirements and general characteristics was provided.
o The facility must always be reliable and ready to fulfill its mission.
o The importance of the facility is equal to a hospital or other emergency facility. This drives resilience and reliability requirements which includes redundancy of systems.
o Design factors result from both environmental and manmade events.
o Facility size is about 57,000 sf with occupancy of approximately 158 persons.
• Command Center key requirements were shown.
o The Command Center itself will be seismically base isolated.
o It is a Risk Category IV Essential Facility.
o Equipment will need to be seismically certified. This requirement will be reviewed and verified closely by the Government to ensure it is met.
o Corrosion resistance due to the tropical environment is important and has driven several of the material choices on the project. Stainless steel on exterior and hot-dipped galvanized on the interior are typically required.
o Electromagnetic Interference protection and Anti-Terrorism Force Protection measures are included on the project.
o Some portions of the facility must meet ICD 705 security requirements.
o The facility serves as a designated storm shelter and must meet ICC 500 requirements for seismic and typhoon events.
• The Power Generation facility was then discussed.
o Facility primary power is provided by 13.8 kV overhead line from nearby substation.
o Emergency power provided by several generators which must seamlessly transition.
Backup power must be reliable to meet resiliency requirements.
o To allow the transition of power, a sophisticated control system is planned.
o Fuel storage capacity is needed for an extended period of time.
o Power facility, including generators, are protected against ballistic and windborne debris with walls all around.
o The Power facility, unlike the Command Center, is not seismically base isolated. The full seismic effects of a Maximum Credible Earthquake several times the force of gravity will need to be resisted by the equipment, including the generators. This will impact the equipment seismic certification.
• Schedule considerations are very important.
o The Government is considering including incentives into the contract but is not decided.
o There is an expectation that hazardous materials will be encountered in existing housing demolition; this will require schedule sequencing to meet the environmental considerations. GEPA permitting by contractor is expected to be time critical.
o It is expected several pieces of equipment will require long lead times. This includes the generators, switchgear, and other electrical components plus some mechanical equipment like chillers.
o About 5,000 sf of facility must be constructed in accordance with ICD 705 security provisions, which can take longer and can drive management and physical security provisions.
o Experience has shown that seismic compliance can take extra time, particularly seismic certification. Typically, a contractor needs expert experience to meet the requirements.
o Because this project is part of a larger program and other entities will be involved on the project site, the contractor is part of a larger team. There are planned contractual coordination requirements. Partners include other projects on the island as well as mission systems contractors.
o Joint Occupancy is a schedule requirement and means the site will be shared with mission systems contractors. The Joint Occupancy Dates (JODs) are important in the project schedule. These allow the installation and testing of the mission equipment.
• The audience was invited to ask questions of Mr. Grant’s portion of the presentation; no questions were asked.
• SAME Guam Post reminded the audience the presentation would be made available.
• Following other SAME Guam Post business, Captain Troy Brown, P.E., NAVFAC Marianas
Commanding Officer, was next to speak.
• A disclaimer indicating the views presented are those of the speakers was made. This applies for the entire presentation.
• In opening remarks, CAPT Brown thanked the industry partners in the room for attending and emphasized understanding projected workflow was important.
• A program overview for the Guam Defense System was presented including both an MDA program and an Army program with multiple sites.
o Proposed action eventually aims to have a 360-degree EIAMD system including command and control, radars, sensors, launchers, interceptors.
o Additional infrastructure support facilities will also be needed, including barracks, vehicle maintenance, and administration facilities.
• A notional sand chart displaying workload on Guam was displayed showing extensive growth with the GDS program laid on top of other projects already programmed for the island. Work is expected to be approximately double by FY27 from FY24.
o It was noted this is delivery dates, not funding dates; thus, this would represent work being performed and invoiced.
o The peak workload is expected in FY27.
o There is a heavy build-up planned through FY26, including the Army program.
o The “other” work category on the chart does not include all the Typhoon Mahwar recovery efforts.
• The number one priority for the Indo-Pacific Command is the GDS program.
• Questions were invited for CAPT Brown:
o Question: A lot of work is planned and being performed for a relatively small island location; is it expected that non-island workers will be required to meet manpower needs.
This will be more expensive. Has this increased labor cost been considered?
Answer: The number of H2B visas granted have doubled recently and a lot of effort has been made on this issue. It is hoped contractors can find the manpower needed and develop lodging solutions, etc as needed. Future legislative action is needed to continue to meet labor needs. Currently, the limiting factor appears to be funding instead of labor.
o Question: Follow-up to prior question is if the cost estimates have considered the labor issue to limit disconnects with project bids versus estimates?
Answer: It is understood. Contractors need longer known validity periods for H2B visas to support amortization of costs to build up this manpower.
o No additional questions were asked. CAPT Brown invited the dialogue to continue in these forums.
• Mr. Pat Carolan, Vice President with Black & Veatch Federal Business, was introduced to present additional details of the proposed facility. Some topics were repeated from Mr. Grant’s presentation to add emphasis.
• The audience was reminded that all information presented is not final. The actual solicitation will be the basis for bid. Items being shown in the presentation are to highlight general characteristics, unique, and important items. The facility is not traditional construction in many aspects.
• The project is located on Andersen Air Force Base (AAFB), with North Gate access.
• The facility is a Risk Category IV and is seismically base isolated horizontally.
• Contractor schedule performance is an important aspect of the project.
• Because this is a requirements-based design, as Mr. Grant indicated, it is important to pay attention to the plans and specifications. The requirements will be checked and verified.
• The overall site was presented, and key points highlighted. Several houses are to be demolished as part of the work and the site is about 17 acres. Some houses are planned to remain.
• The contractor scope includes relocation of pesticide impacted soil (PIS). The soil will be relocated within the site.
• The houses are expected to contain lead, asbestos, PCB, mercury, etc which will require off-island disposal due to no approved on-island disposal options.
• A more detailed site layout was presented, and various proposed features were shown. This includes a command center, power plant with fuel storage, 150 ft tall steel framed RF antenna tower, access control point, fuel unloading, retention basins, parking, etc. A future warehouse location will be used for secure storage during construction.
• There is about 45 ft of vertical elevation difference north to south across the site.
• While water and sewer connections are available near the site, electrical power will be obtained from the AAFB substation using existing spare conduit. A drawing showing the potential route was shown and terminations discussed. This power will feed an A-side and B-side bus as part of the redundancy required for the project.
• Various 3D renderings of the project were shown, including a north and a south view.
• Included in the renderings is a security fence enclosing the site. The infrastructure for the electronic security will be provided by the contractor, however the devices will be procured and installed by others.
• The self-supported RF tower is planned to be 150 ft tall and will be designed by the contractor as a delegated design. The antennas and cabling will be provided by others. Additionally, there will be antennas provided by others on the roof of the facility that will be accessed using a contractor-built catwalk and stair tower. Mounting posts and brackets on the roof are contractor provided.
• The laydown area is currently shown to be about 1/4 mile away from the main site except for the secure storage area. The laydown area is about three acres in size and is split into three sections.
One will be used by mission systems contractors, one by the USG, and the final largest section by the contractor. The contractor will provide trailers for Government use within the contractor’s space. The secure storage area will be used for materials that need to be controlled prior to installation in accordance with the Construction Security Plan (see specifications).
• It was emphasized there will be extensive US Government involvement on the project, including in the secure laydown space.
• A notional floor plan of the facility was shown with approximate space allocations. The facility includes an open-air mechanical bay, equipment spaces, mission systems spaces, and office spaces. The entire facility is designed for open storage in accordance with DoD Manual 5200.01
Volume 3. There is also a smaller space designed for, and to be constructed to, ICD 705. The entire facility is seismically base isolated, and the primary construction uses precast concrete.
• In a cross section of the facility, some general building elements were shown:
o A concrete mat foundation supports the seismic isolators on pedestals in a low-ceiling unoccupied crawl space.
o The first floor consists of cast-in-place beams, precast prestressed double-tees, and a topping slab.
o The structural walls are precast concrete, both exterior and interior.
o The roof system is concrete double-tees plus topping slab. It has a higher roof section in the middle of the facility.
• Because the precast elements are important to the facility, some general details and isometric renderings were shown. As stated, the roof, floors, and walls consist of precast elements. Other architectural elements including gutters, stairs, and canopy planks are also precast concrete. The wall panels are thicker with more congested reinforcement than traditional panels. Penetrations will need to be coordinated closely by the contractor within all precast concrete. The wall panels are joined using a wet-joint plus base dowel system, which is also congested. Because of the upper roof long double tee spans and tall inner walls, it is expected crane capacity will need investigated for on-island availability or sourced from off-island. The members are heavier than traditional similar elements. Construction sequencing will be critical.
• As indicated, the planned Command Center is a Risk Category IV Essential facility and is seismically base isolated. The seismic isolators sit on concrete pedestals within the space under the facility with large deformation capability.
• As a Risk Category IV facility, there are several designated seismic systems that will require seismic certification. This is an important aspect of the project. Experience has shown that the contractor will need structural engineers who are experienced in this type of work and often this is a subcontractor. Seismic certification requires early focus on the task, especially on long-lead items, to meet project schedules. While the isolation system reduces the forces on the facility, the certification process is still the same and takes time. Not only must the equipment meet the specified technical function, but it must also meet the seismic requirements. This means some equipment manufacturers will not be able to meet all requirements or have only tested certain models of their equipment lineup. There are some organizations which preapprove and maintain databases which manufacturers submit their certifications to. HCAI (formerly OSHPD) in
California is one of the more popular organizations. This can help with seismic certification, but the process is still required to prove the requirements are met. Current UFC standards, referenced in the project specifications, provide lists of items which must be included in the submittals.
• The distributed conveyance systems, such as piping, conduit, cable tray, ductwork, etc, have the supports seismically designed by the AE DOR, except for near the equipment. Because the exact equipment and tie-in points are not yet known, the final run into equipment is a delegated design to the contractor. This will require a structural engineer to perform bracing and anchorage calculations and corresponding submittals. This is another reason selecting specific equipment for long-lead items and large equipment is critical early in the project.
• The seismic base isolation system is sole sourced to Bridgestone and the contractor will need to procure and work with them for the specified system. A photo of a similar installed system was shown including the isolator sitting on a concrete pedestal. Sequencing is important.
• Cast-in-place concrete construction for the proposed project consists of large mat foundations, large beams, topping slabs, etc. The concrete mixture design will be specialized because of strength, shrinkage, and thermal-control (mass concrete) aspects. Due to the reinforcement congestion, self-consolidating concrete is also required.
• Because of tight tolerances in the seismic isolator bearing system, tight shrinkage limitations are specified. This will drive sequencing and long-term shoring and bracing of the concrete. The bearing tolerances were shown on the slide, they are 5mm horizonal displacement and 1:400 rotation and flatness. While the exact sequencing is mostly left to the contractor as means and methods, it is expected an inner core will need to be built first and then move outward. Full seismic isolator installation will not occur initially, and shoring will be left in place.
• As seismic is very important to the design, which was stressed again, the seismic design of non-structural components is also important. As previously discussed, the contract documents will include the routing, bracing and anchorage of primary distribution systems up to an interface point. Beyond the interface point, the design is delegated to the contractor. This includes the remaining routing, bracing and anchorage of the distribution systems as well as the selection, certification, bracing, and anchorage of the equipment. The design provides details to accommodate the large differential movement between the isolated structure at the facility perimeter where it interfaces with the non-isolated ground.
• Mechanically, the chiller water system was discussed. There are four chillers on the base-isolated first floor plus associated pumps, air handling units, computer room air conditioners, and recirculating air handlers. There is also a large buffer pipe in the mechanical yard to maintain a volume of chiller water in the event of a chiller outage.
• Fire suppression includes a wet pipe sprinkler system throughout most spaces plus a clean agent system in certain rooms.
• Beyond the potential Command Center, the backup power plant contains four 1,825 kW 13.8 kV
Tier 2 generators in a protected yard plus a switch gear building. The generators are planned to be self-contained enclosures. Within the approximately 4,100 SF switchgear building, medium voltage redundant switchgear is housed. Other features of the power plant include a 2,000 kW load bank mounted on a trailer (intended to support multiple locations) and a fuel system. The fuel system includes a fuel unloading area, storage, pumps, etc. It was noted there is an intermediate fuel tank for storage to meet storm shelter requirements. The perimeter precast concrete wind debris and ballistic rated walls include large stainless-steel louvers. Both an isometric and a plan view of the power plant plus a concept of the generator enclosure were shown. The fuel system was further detailed with an isometric, plan, and section views.
• An access control point was shown including an isometric view, plan view and section. It is a canopy covered turnstile and self-closing accessible gate. The covered area is about 870 SF.
• Because of the complexity of the systems on the project, several control systems are planned and were discussed. A fiber optic network is required for these systems. These include:
o Power Control and Monitoring System (PCMS) o Power Quality Monitoring System (PQMS) o Building Control System (BCS) o Advanced Metering Initiative (AMI) o Universal Control Console (UCC) – Console itself is Government provided, foundation by contractor. Contractor will also have interface with system.
• Cybersecurity requirements are important.
• A Construction Security Plan (CSP) will be implemented for certain areas of the Command Center plus site access control. This will impact what personnel are allowed to work in some areas of the facility, physical security of the site, and material acquisition plus transport limitations.
• While subject to change, the current expected solicitation schedule was shown. The draft solicitation has already been released with the official solicitation planned for Q1 of FY25. Award is planned for Q4 of FY25.
• This concluded the presentation portion, with questions following.
• Question: What is the contracting route for the mission systems?
o Answer: These systems are contracted through MDA out of Huntsville, AL. The mission systems contractors are already under contract.
• Question: What percent of the design is completed, and will it be a design-build project?
o Answer: The project design is currently close to 100% level. It is a design-bid-build (DBB) project, not design-build (DB). However, there are several elements of the project which are delegated design to the contractor, and many were discussed today. These include significant aspects of precast concrete elements, seismic certification, RF steel tower, mass concrete and mixture design, some final routing and bracing of distribution systems, smaller distribution systems, metal stair stringers and treads, plus other traditionally delegated items like concrete formwork design and crane lift plans.
• Question: Is the contractor required to have an AE firm involved?
o Answer: For the delegated design items, if the contractor does not have the design capabilities within their organization, it is expected subcontracting relationships will be needed. Items such as seismic and precast concrete typically are subcontractors.
• Question: Will the Environmental Impact Statement be included in the solicitation?
o If it is completed, it will be included. It may not be completed at that time.
• Question: Will the project have an allocated small business percent? Such as 8(a) or HUBZone?
o The small business allocation will be listed in the solicitation; it is unknown at this time.
• Following Q&A session, appreciation plaques and coins were presented.
• Meeting ended at 1120 local time.
