Personnel Recovery Center of Excellence (FY 10), Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ

The Personnel Recovery Center of Excellence project consists of three combined projects and includes the construction of a new HC-130J Squadron Operations Facility and HC-130J Simulator Facility and Infrastructure for the two projects at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona. The HC-130J Squadron Operations Facility project will consist of the following: This project provides for the construction of a 2,323 SM (25,000SF) HC-130-J Rescue Squadron (RQS) Operations Facility. The new building will house personnel supporting the Rescue Squadron (RQS) HC-130J flight operations mission and contains administration, planning, and briefing facilities. New site construction at the RQS Operations site consists of rigid pavement (concrete aprons), flexible pavement (access roads and parking area), an electrical yard, a dumpster enclosure, concrete stoops and pads, CMU walls, sidewalks, curb and gutter, drainage ditches and swales, and associated service utilities. Concurrent construction (separate contracts), consisting of a Flight Simulator Facility and a Central Chiller Plant, will occupy the same site as the RQS Operations Facility. The HC-130J Simulator Facility project will consist of the following: This project provides for the construction of a 1,256 SM (13,517 SF) HC-130-J Flight Simulator Facility. The new building will house one simulator (for an HC-130J aircraft) and associated support facilities. Support facilities consist of administration, training, mission planning, and maintenance functions. New site construction at the Simulator site consists of rigid pavement (concrete aprons), flexible pavement (access roads and parking area expansion), an electrical yard, a dumpster enclosure, an aggregate surface turnaround, concrete stoops and pads, CMU walls, sidewalks, curb and gutter, drainage ditches and swales, a detention pond, and associated service utilities. Concurrent construction (separate contracts), consisting of a RQS Operations Facility and a Central Chiller Plant, will occupy the same site as the Simulator Facility. The HC-130J Infrastructure project will consist of the following: The PRCOE Infrastructure project is comprised of two main components, a utility infrastructure component and a road infrastructure component. The utility component of the project consists of the installation of new utility mains as well as the construction of a new 168 SM (1,817SF) central plant with 800 ton cooling capacity and a new fire suppression pump house. The central plant and the pump house are located approximately one half mile apart. Included with the pump house are two new 72k gallon water ground storage tanks to provide an adequate volume of water for the new fire suppression system. The existing water distribution system is not capable of supplying the large fire suppression flow rates needed to supply the fire pumps. The second component of this project is to construct new paved roadways within the project area designated for the planned PRCOE program. The PRCOE program area is currently in the planning stage of development.
