PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District is contemplating a firm-fixed-price contract for the design-bid-build construction of a Confidence Obstacle Course (CFOC) and sheltered bleacher area with lightning protection.

The CFOC will consist of twenty-four obstacle stations. Directional and obstacle signage will be provided to guide soldiers through the entire course. A 10 ft maneuver trail between obstacles will be provided to support training or emergency vehicle movement through the course, to include the ability to bypass an obstacle on one side. A Tactical

Assembly Area (TAA) of roughly half of an acre will be cleared in the center of the course and an entrance trail from

TA-27 will be constructed. Gravel and fill dirt will be added to provide drainage away from the course and create a flat surface for all cleared areas. Facilities will be constructed for a minimum life of 40 years in accordance with

DoD’s Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1-200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance.

The proposed site is located in a wooded area northeast of the open training area. The site is bounded by the Norfolk

Southern Railroad to the southeast, a wetland/bog and I-295 to the northeast, forested wetlands to the northwest and the open field/pasture used for training to the southwest. This area is outside the secure Fort Lee facility and can be accessed from Range Road which is approximately 0.25 miles from the site.

Magnitude of Construction cost is between $5,000,000 - $10,000,000.
