Creech Disaster Resiliency Program Notice of Intent (W912PL24R0002)

Creech DRP Phase 1 includes the design and construction of an approximate 47,856 SF single story Squadron Operations facility and 55,596 SF Aircraft Operations Facility (AOF) hangar.  Additionally, the project will include airfield pavements, centralized utility plant, ground data terminal stations and all supporting utility and site infrastructure to make the facilities complete and usable.

The intent of this announcement is to specify particular brand-name equipment in the design. The notice of intent will cover only the portion of the acquisition which is the brand name or peculiar to one manufacturer. Use of such descriptions in the design is essential to the Government’s requirements, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. A description of the systems is listed below.

1. Energy Management and Control System (JCI Metasys) – The government requires the brand name system for three of the primary facilities so that the system may properly communicate with the existing base wide Energy Management and Control System (EMCS).  The system allows the installation to monitor energy use.  The base requires this component as part of their Installation Facility Standards (IFS).  The standardization of these systems is essential to main coordinated system growth, consistency, and to conduct more efficient training.
2. Emergency Power Generator (Cummins) – The government requires these systems for four of the primary facilities. The base has over 85% of its generator inventory under this manufacturer brand which has a history of proven local and regional support for supply and services.  Standardizing the brand allows the 432WG Support Squadron to improve their maintenance, increase technician familiarity, conduct more efficient training, and store extra parts allowing for timely service.
3. Building Utility Meters (Elec – Schneider Electric or Electro Industries Nexus; Water - McCrometer) – The government requires these meters for two of the facilities and their brand name requirement is noted within their IFS.  These brands have been evaluated to meet the Air Force’s Automatic Meter Reading System (AMRS) specifications and cybersecurity requirements.  The standardization of these components also allows the 432WG Support Squadron to improve their maintenance and serviceability and to conduct more efficient training.
4. Automatic Transfer Switch (ASCO or Eaton) – The government requires five automatic transfer switches (ATS) under Phase 1. The standardization of these components allows the 432WG Support Squadron to improve their maintenance and increase technician familiarity, conduct more efficient training, and store extra parts allowing for timely service.
5. Fire Alarm Control Panel (Monaco) – The government requires six fire alarm control panels under Phase 1.  The base has over 92% of their fire alarm control panel inventory under this manufacturer which has a history of proven local and regional support for supply and services. The base requires this component as part of their IFS. The standardization of this system is essential to main coordinated system growth, consistency, and to conduct more efficient training.
