III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Air Force requires the construction of facilities to facilitate early Sentinel-related activities and prepare for future Sentinel construction at Minot AFB, ND. This collection of facilities is essential to bed down the new Sentinel mission without interrupting the operation and maintenance of the current missions at Minot AFB. This suite of projects are a component of the larger Sentinel Program, also known as the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD). The Sentinel program encompasses the effort by the U.S.

Air Force to modernize the nation's land-based nuclear deterrent by replacing the aging Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system.

The CVMC project provides for the construction of a fully integrated CVMC to house all vehicle maintenance and operations functions at a single location. The new facility, composed of two separate buildings, will be sized and equipped to resolve the existing capacity deficit and accommodate the expanding mission under the Sentinel program.

The CVMC will provide the necessary maintenance bays, operational facilities, and administrative support offices to ensure the long-term success of the ground transportation mission. It will include construction of two slab-on-grade buildings. The first is identified as the Vehicle Maintenance Facility, a primarily one-story facility with a second-floor mechanical mezzanine and an approximate square footage of 88,000 SF.

The second is identified as the Vehicle Operations Facility, a single-story facility with an approximate square footage of 28,000 SF. Extensive site work to include paving, fencing, landscaping, and utilities will also be required.

The SFOC project provides for the construction of a new Consolidated Security Forces Operations Complex with associated site work, infrastructure, and systems at Minot AFB, ND. The SFOC will include warehouse/storage spaces, armory/cleaning room, vehicle deployment bay (option), secure briefing room, classrooms, simulator training rooms, unit learning centers, and all associated administration spaces. The facility will have an approximate square footage of 130,000 SF. Site work to include paving, fencing, landscaping, and utilities will also be required.

The AC project provides for the construction of two (2) softball fields and one (1) multi-sports (soccer) field, dugouts, sidewalks, concrete pads, fencing, ballfield lighting, an electronic scoreboard, electrical utility connections, and grading and seeding. No vertical construction will be required for this project.
