PART 3 – CHAPTER 2 / PROJECT OBJECTIVES

2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES

2.1 MISSION STATEMENT

The objective of this project is to replace the existing ECF with a new ECF that complies with current UFC Standards. The Vandenberg Gate must remain open for commercial vehicle and personal owned vehicle access during construction. Traffic must remain open to Massport and Old Bedford Road during construction.

2.2 ENTRY CONTROL FACILITY FUNCTION

Hanscom AFB is proposing significant security upgrades and improved traffic flow through the existing Vandenberg Gate Entry Control Facility (ECF). The existing Vandenberg Gate ECF, located on the west side of Hanscom AFB in Lincoln, Massachusetts, operates as both the commercial vehicle gate as well as the personally owned vehicle (POV) gate. The existing gate does not comply with current Anti-Terrorism Standards. A new entry control facility is necessary to improve traffic flow into Hanscom AFB and enhance the operation of the installation’s main ECF and bring the gate into compliance with current Anti-Terrorism and ECF standards.

2.3 PROJECT SPECIFIC PRIORITIES

The design of the new ECF shall be based on design documents located in Appendix C Base Bid Site Plan and Appendix E Architectural Plans and Elevations.

The Base Bid Site Plan has fulfilled requirement that traffic from the west, north, and south are all able to access the ECF in order to enter the Base. An additional requirement was to allow northbound traffic to be able to bypass the ECF in order to continue north to the MassPort air terminal or west onto Old Bedford Road. As a result of this project, the public transportation component must be functionally equivalent or superior to the existing conditions along Old Bedford Road and Hanscom Drive. The preferable way of achieving this was by constructing a roundabout intersection. The roundabout shown in the Base Bid Site Plan reflects approximate parameters and is not representative of a final design configuration. All new construction shall be contained within Federally owned property.

A preliminary traffic study has been completed by the Government (Appendix M FLEMING QUICK AND COMPREHENSIVE TRAFFIC STUDY). It shall be the responsibility of the D-B contractor to obtain any and all data necessary to support the design. The D-B Contractor shall be responsible for determining traffic estimates for the site, evaluating the impact of said estimate on the existing traffic patterns and identifying any traffic issues.

In order to provide the necessary delay required between the detection point of a threat vehicle (at ID Check) and the final denial barriers, it is necessary for traffic entering the Base from the north or west to proceed through the roundabout and south on Hanscom Drive before turning to the east and proceeding back through the ECF.

The required parameters for the ECF include provision of at least 18 parking stalls for the Visitor Control Center (VCC) privately owned vehicles. The GateHouse will have two ID check lanes with tandem processing capability of 4 ID check positions. The first lane will have two ID Check Booths (one attached to the GateHouse building and one free standing. The second lane will have two ID Check Booths which are option items (as noted on the site plan C1A). An option, as noted on the site plan C1A, is an added third lane at the GateHouse. The D-B Contractor is to utilize the existing Commercial Vehicle Inspection area in the base bid, with the exception of the existing Commercial Vehicle Inspection building, which will be demolished. The new Commercial Vehicle Inspection Facility is included in Attachment E with queuing/holding capability for 12 commercial vehicles. The requirement is for the Commercial Vehicle Inspection area to have enough queuing/holding capacity so that the waiting vehicles do not back up on Hanscom Drive. These parameters need to be verified/confirmed during design by AFCEC. The ECF corridor shall provide an appropriate roadway length, roadway geometry, and passive vehicle barrier configuration to result in at least 9 seconds of delay from the point of detection to the final denial barrier. In order to provide detection of a threat vehicle attempting to enter the Base in the outbound lanes, wrong way detection will be required in the roundabout and/or the outbound lane approaching the roundabout.

It is essential that the design of the ECF allows the unimpeded access of traffic to the MASSPORT terminal to the north, for west-bound traffic to Old Bedford Road and unimpeded access must also be provided to Hansom AFB. All traffic movements need to be accommodated by the design and during construction of the ECF.

The placement of the active vehicle barriers is desired to be placed to accommodate the retention of the existing drive into the parking lot to Building B1630 (just east of existing ECF).

The exterior façade of the VCC and the Commercial Inspection Facility building shall adhere to the requirements in the architectural design documents (Attachment E). The new VCC and Commercial Vehicle Inspection Facility buildings have an aesthetic theme that is of colonial or neo-colonial style characterized by clean, simple, forms for major building masses, and primary building materials of wood grained exterior walls, double hung windows, and sloped shingle roof. The CheckHouse / ID Check and its (2) ID Check (Option item) and Overwatch shall comply with the Architectural Compatibility Plan for Hanscom Air Force Base, Dated January 2013 provided as Attachment G in this RFP, unless otherwise indicated. A complete Hanscom Air Force Base Architectural Compatibility Checklist, included with this RFP as Attachment H, shall be submitted for review for each required design submission.

4. Anti-Terrorism Standards

UFC 4-010-01 DoD Minimum Anti-terrorism Standards for Buildings: Except for the Visitors Control Center (VCC) all the buildings in the ECF are considered to be Low Occupancy Buildings as defined in UFC 4-010-01, and therefore under section 1-9.1 of UFC 4-010-01 are exempt from all provisions of the UFC. Due to occupancy levels, the VCC is considered to be an Inhabited Building as defined by the UFC and is therefore required to meet all applicable provisions of the Minimum AT Standards. According to section 1-8.9 of UFC 4- 010-01, VCCs at Entry Control Facilities will be considered to be outside of the controlled perimeter, and standoff distance or building hardening must be designed accordingly.

UFC 4-022-01 Security Engineering: Entry Control Facilities/Access Control Points, UFC 4- 022-02 Selection and Application of Vehicle Barriers, UFC 4-022-03 Security Fences and Gates: The ECF concept layout was designed in accordance with the above United Facilities Criteria and SDDC-TEA pamphlet 55-15. The Threat paths that were used in determining the layout where supplemented by the following OPMG prescribed threat paths from the Access Control Point (ACP) Army Standard:

1. Vehicle Threat Scenario #1. Threat vehicle enters the ACP in the inbound or outbound lane(s) at the maximum speed attainable at the ACP entrance and then immediately accelerates at its maximum acceleration rate through the ACP.

2. Vehicle Threat Scenario #2. Threat vehicle enters the ACP in the inbound or outbound http://www.wbdg.org/ffc/af-%20afcec/sustainable-design-development-sdd/ lane(s} at or under the posted ACP Speed Limit and then, later at some point further in the Approach Zone, accelerates at its maximum acceleration rate through the rest of the

ACP.

3. Vehicle Threat Scenario #3. Threat vehicle feigns compliance and stops in lane. The Guard detects threat behavior or criminal status through observation or electronic means and moves to ID Check to initiate denial process. Threat vehicle occupants’ attempt to force entry (tactics include potential use of direct fire weapons and acceleration through the ACP).

4. Vehicle Threat Scenario #4. Similar to Threat Scenario 3 above, except the driver of the denied vehicle drives toward the Turn-around or Search Area at the ACP Speed Limit as if complying with guard instructions, but then fails to turn and instead accelerates at its maximum acceleration rate.

During design, the D-B Contractor shall confirm that the proposed layout is capable of defeating the Four Threat Scenarios identified in UFC 4-022-01 dated July 2017.

5. Accessibility Design

The VCC including all site features shall be in accordance with all accessible requirements in UFC-4-510-01 and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Guidelines for Accessibility, Chapters 1 through 10.

3.2 NATURAL CONSTRAINTS

3.2.1. Topography

Hanscom AFB is located approximately 18 miles Northwest of Boston, Massachusetts. The topography of the base consists largely of rolling hills typical for this region of Massachusetts.

In addition, there is relatively level ground, heavily forested areas, steep sloped areas, and wetland areas on the base.

The Vandenberg Gate Complex site is approximately 22 acres in size and is a grass-covered area adjacent to Hanscom Drive and access road of the existing ECF. The grades are relatively flat, sloping in elevation from west to east.

3.2.2. Vegetation/Landscaping:

The site is mainly natural wild grass and plants with bituminous access drives and a few trees and shrubs that will need to be removed.

3.2.3. Wildlife:

Hanscom AFB is classified as a Category II Installation and as such is exempt from many of the planning and staffing requirements of the Sikes Act (16 USC 67 A-1(b)). The base is also exempt from developing hunting, fishing, and trapping programs. The Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is located two miles North-West of Hanscom AFB. The Refuge is the habitat of several current and historically rare plants and animal species in which exist under the protection of the National Refuge. Undeveloped portions of the base provide a relatively undisturbed habitat for native fauna. Additional information on wildlife on the base is available in the Comprehensive Ecological Analysis, Hanscom AFB, February 1997.

3.2.4. Climatology:

The climate conditions at Hanscom AFB are typical for this region. Weather patterns vary daily and seasonally from year to year because of the prevailing winds. The maximum 24 hour precipitation for the area is 8.7 inches with average annual rainfall of 44 inches. The maximum 24 hour snowfall for the area is 16.5 inches with average annual snowfall of 56.5 inches.

Site Location: Latitude – 42.457711; Longitude - -71.285625

Summer outdoor design dry-bulb temperature: 88 deg F (temperature based on a seasonal value 2.5% occurrence value per ASHRAE).

Summer outdoor design mean coincident wet-bulb temperature: 73 deg F (temperature based on a seasonal value 2.5% occurrence value per ASHRAE).

Winter outdoor design dry-bulb temperature: 1 deg F. (temperature based on a winter seasonal value 97.5% occurrence value per ASHRAE).

3.2.5. Wetlands:

A Wetland Delineation was completed for the project area in April-May 2017. A wetland was identified on the east side of Hanscom Drive. DB Contractor shall complete the necessary permitting to confirm the wetland line with the Lincoln conservation Commission in accordance with the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act. The DB Contractor must comply with the Environmental Assessment (EA). Per the EA (Attachment I) para 3.11.2, “Construction activities that will remove, fill, dredge or alter ponds, wetland or buffer zones, are prohibited without first obtaining a permit from the Lincoln Conservation Commission.”

3.2.6. Radon Mitigation

Hansom is known to have elevated levels of radon. The D-B contractor must design and construction building foundations to accommodate passive radon mitigation measures.

The DB Contractor’s Geotechnical Report shall include, but not be limited to Soil Borings, calculations, and geotechnical engineering recommendations for design and construction.

It is anticipated that some cut materials will be available for use as general fill or structural fill. While the quantity of the cut material will not be very significant, the cut material will be available to construct foundations, pavement base courses and bedding for subsurface utilities. Based on the topographic information and subsurface exploration materials provided, new foundations and roadways will bear on outwash deposit material. These outwash deposit materials are considered suitable bearing materials for proposed building and roadway areas. The contractor should expect to encounter large boulders during construction, which will require excavation and off-site disposal. The contractor can expect that excavated granular material such as sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders may be suitable for reuse to construct foundations, pavement base courses and bedding for subsurface utilities. Based on the geotechnical report, the contractor can expect to encounter cut materials with silt contents greater than

10 percent, in which case these cut materials will not be suitable for reuse without supplementary measures. Where silt content is greater than 10 percent, special measures would be required to facilitate the drying of wet soils prior to compaction.

3.2.8. Topographic Survey:

A Topographic Survey CAD files are available on request from Contracting Officer to assist Offerors in preparing proposals and to be used as a reference only.

The awarded DB Contractor shall provide a survey showing required tie in to the Base Mass Grid Coordination System and confirming horizontal and vertical data topography provided.
