Multi-Domain Operations Training Area Overall Scope:

1. Description of Work:

The primary objective of this project is to construct a dedicated UAS Training Site to support training exercises for Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) unmanned aerial systems within Training Area 20. Exercises support horizontal and vertical operations.

2. All Weather Operations Surface:

a. The scope of work requires the development of a central All-Weather Operations

Surface, approximately 1,000 ft by 50 ft. This surface could be a Compacted Gravel Operations Pad designed to ensure durability for light-duty vehicle traffic and repeated operational use. This Prepared Mission Surface replaces the need for a traditional paved runway and associated aviation infrastructure such as glide paths. In addition to the 1,000 ft by 50 ft surface, the following are required:

i. Two (2) 100 ft Equipment Staging Zones at each end of the Operations Surface.

ii. Safety Buffer Zone surrounding the Operations Surface. This area shall be cleared of all vegetation to ensure safe operational clearance. Safety Buffer Zone shall be approximately 15 ft on all sides

iii. Two (2) Designated Takeoff/Recovery Points shall be marked to facilitate V/ STOL-specific training.

iv. One (1) 300 ft by 300 ft gravel parking pad to the east of the operations surface

v. One (1) 35 ft by 70 ft gravel launch pad to the west of the operations surface.

3. Access Road Repair:

a. Two access roads require clearing, widening, and reinforcing to allow for safe and effectively use the operations surface.

i. Approximately 12,000 linear ft of road surface would be repaired to obtain a 14 ft wide driving surface with 10 ft cleared road shoulders on both sides. Within these areas all trees (including stumps) and all vegetation would be cleared.

4. Construction Requirements:

a. Clearing and Grubbing: The proposed training operations surface footprint would be cleared of all surface and subsurface vegetation. Surface vegetation including trees, brush, and downed timber would be removed and disposed. All subsurface material such as sod, stumps, roots, buried logs and other debris would also be removed. All materials would be hauled to an approved disposal location. The total footprint of disturbance including roads is approximately 31 acres. The trees within the 31acre physical project footprint are likely not merchantable. The area was last harvested around 2000, so most of the trees average 6-inch diameter at breast height (dbh) with approximately 15-20 scattered residual mature Douglas-fir trees (28-inch dbh) which are approximately 120-feet tall.

b. Surface Excavation and Grading: The access roads, Operations Surface footprint, parking area and launch pads would be excavated as necessary. Excavated materials would be hauled offsite and disposed at an approved location. All areas would be graded and compacted in preparation for surface materials.

c. Base Course and Gravel Application: Crushed aggregate and/or gravel would be placed, graded and compacted to either finished grade for the clear zones, lateral clearance, parking area and launch pad. The access roads would be graded and shaped to allow water drainage. The Government encourages innovation to meet the foundational needs of this area.

d. Finish Work: Topsoil may be added to any disturbed areas as needed. The entire footprint of disturbance outside of the designed features would be hydroseeded with a native seed mix upon completion of construction activities.
