PROJECT INFORMATION

Project Title: FY20 P1005 VTOL Pad South

Project Location: MCAS Iwakuni, Japan

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code: 237310, Airport Runway Construction

Project Magnitude: Between ¥1,000,000,000 and ¥2,500,000,000 Japanese YEN

Project Description:

The project scope requires construction of a high-temperature concrete, VTOL Pad for the F-35B aircraft. The project is located at MCAS Iwakuni, east of Taxiway A and Runway 2-20, near an existing helicopter landing pad. Pavements in the project include Continuously Reinforced High-Temperature Concrete (CRHTC), Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), and enlarged hot-mix asphalt (HMA) shoulders. Additional work includes new airfield lighting, grading, perimeter roadway modification, and existing utility relocations.

The Demolition scope includes the existing helicopter landing pad in the project area, existing drainage infrastructure, and minor utilities.

Pavements in the project include CRHTC and PCC with enlarged HMA shoulders along the lead-in approach path and lead out take-off path for reduction of potential foreign object debris hazards. Grading work associated with the new pavement, existing drainage improvements, and the perimeter road way is also required.

Demolition scope includes airfield pavement of the existing Taxiway A shoulder where the VTOL Pad access taxiway connects to Taxiway A. Additional shoulder removals along Taxiway A are required for installation of lights. The existing helicopter landing pad in the project vicinity as well as existing lighting will be demolished.

Non-airfield pavement demolition includes removing, lowering, and replacing part of the perimeter roadway to maintain a slope away from the seawall, relocate utilities from current location underneath VTOL Pad to be underneath the perimeter road, and create a shoulder joint where the roadway abuts the VTOL Pad concrete. Additional demolition includes removing a newly constructed concrete inlet structure and reconstructing a similar structure just north of the South VTOL pad and connecting a storm drain underneath the VTOL pad in place of the inlet structure.

The Government anticipates the Period of Performance will be 500 calendar days.
