The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, anticipates issuing a prospective procurement for constructing a project that includes aircraft apron replacement, associated drainage system, and fuel hydrant system modifications to support the new tanker mission at MacDill AFB in Tampa FL. This mission will include a total of twenty-four (24) KC-46A aircraft, with fifteen (15) new parking and hydrant fueling positions. The current apron parking layout and fuel hydrant system is configured to service twelve (12) KC-135 aircraft and must be expanded to accommodate the new mission.

The prospective procurement will involve design-bid-build (DBB) construction for the following: Replace portions of the existing north apron and perimeter taxilane pavement with PCC pavement. Remove existing pavement to full depth including aggregate base courses. Remove and replace large portions of the existing storm drainage system serving the north apron. Limits of concrete apron and taxilane/shoulder expansion will be within the current paved area. Provide two (2) nose gear mooring points at each aircraft parking position. Provide new pavement markings and striping. Reuse of portions of the existing fuel hydrant system piping where possible within the apron area with the remainder being removed from service and abandoned in place by grouting. Adequately sized existing supply and return piping between the fuel farm area and apron will be reused. Increase the pressure capability of the existing five (5) fuel hydrant supply pumps to accommodate the longer hydrant system piping design. Replace existing five (5) 100 HP motors with 125 HP motors and increase the impeller sizes to meet the new pressure requirements. Replace existing filter separators with 275 PSI pressure rated vessels to accommodate the increased pressure requirement. The hydrant system will accommodate fueling of four (4) aircraft simultaneously at 600GPM each. Increase the capacity of the existing Motor Control Center (MCC) from 800 amps to 1000 amps. The primary electrical service feed is adequate. The existing emergency generator is adequately sized for the new loads and will not require replacement. Addition of new apron edge lights along the northern boundary of the taxilane.
