About this file
These are U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Omaha District presentation slides for an Industry Day regarding the F.E. Warren Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) Utility Corridor Project. The project involves replacing and expanding the existing Hardened Intersite Cable System (HICS) with a new 1,560-mile communications infrastructure across Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado, connecting missile launch facilities, launch centers, and the Wing Command Center. The programmed amount is $1,248,000,000, with incremental Military Construction (MILCON) funding planned from FY25-29, and the project is targeting advertisement in FY26 with award in FY27 using a design-build construction acquisition method.
The sources sought market research seeks industry feedback on various project aspects, including construction capabilities, potential delivery methods (such as Indefinite Delivery Contract), realistic production rates, design detail requirements, and challenges related to working across private lands. Key considerations include communication with landowners, agricultural activity coordination, liability insurance, and easement requirements. The project has an initial contemplated contract completion date of 2031, with AECOM-Tetratech Joint Venture serving as the Architect-Engineer task order contractor. Interested vendors are directed to review the sources sought notice on SAM.gov and can utilize the Projnet inquiry process for additional information.

• Design / Construction Agent: USACE Omaha District
• Fiscal Year 2025
• Target Advertise: Planned FY26
• Target Award: Planned FY27
• Design-Build Construction Acquisition
• AECOM-Tetratech JV AE Task Order for
DB RFP
• Sources sought posted 12 May 2025
Project Scope & Funding
• 1391 (current):
- Replace existing Hardened Intersite Cable System (HICS) and expand capabilities
- 1,560 miles communications infrastructure
(conduit, manholes, fiber optic cable)
- Programmed Amount: $1,248,000,000
- Incremental MILCON Funding FY25-29
Project Location
• F.E. Warren AFB from Wing
Command Center (ICC) currently under construction
• Existing HICS and new corridor to Launch Facilities and Launch Centers:
- Wyoming
- Nebraska
- Colorado
Special Construction and Functional Requirements
• Real Estate Acquisition (permanent and temporary easements) by
Separate project (both USACE and AFCEC)
• Majority of work occurs throughout private or non-federal lands
• Evolving Project Scope / Requirements
• Utilize current construction technology, industry solutions to inform acquisition strategy, right-size real estate approach, predictable timeline for completion
• Phase or increment the project
Sources Sought – Market Research
• Market Research to determine Availability, Capability, and Interest of Firms
• Posted to Sam.gov (Closes 1 July 2025):
• https://sam.gov/opp/57206c2487734b3d96f6df0511e413fa/view
• Interested Vendors Questionnaire
- Prime and subcontractor responses
- Design and Construction
- Project experience with large utility projects (boring, phasing, coordination with private entities like railroads and landowners)
Sources Sought Continued (questionnaire)
• Market capabilities of Prime and Subcontractors to complete the project
• Consideration of Indefinite Delivery Contract (e.g. Single Award
Task Order or Multiple Award Task Order Contract) delivery method
• Consideration of phased Design-Build delivery method
• Factors affecting biddability, estimating, from FY25 & beyond
• Incremental funding FY25-FY29 and realistic period of performance and completion dates, initial contemplated contract completion date of 2031
• Permanent Easement of 16.5’ centered on existing HICS cable – feedback on feasibility of construction within, or inform right-size of new permanent and temporary easements.
• Reasonable rates of production for construction methods to inform planned real estate procurement and construction completion schedules
• Industry feedback on what a 35% level of design level of detail and design information necessary for biddability. Also, feedback on full design level of detail for DB construction project deliverables
• Liability insurance and landowner indemnification for liability on work completed across private lands
• Communication with landowners and ongoing agricultural activities such as livestock movement, herbicide/pesticide application, irrigation, etc; contractor required notification process
• Additional Considerations: industry can utilize the Projnet inquiry process: www.projnet.org
