Description

The construction acquisition is to Repair/Update the Utilities at Falcon Stadium at the United States Air Force Academy, CO.

The purpose of this project is to update some of the utilities at the Falcon Stadium, the utility systems being updated are the potable water distribution, fire suppression water distribution, sanitary sewer conveyance, and natural gas. This project provides an all-new utility rings around the outside of the stadium, these new lines will be used to serve the facility from the “outside in”. This project will be interrupted by several events at the Falcon Stadium. Construction starts and stops will be crucial to the success of this project.

General Description:

 1. New water and gas mains will be constructed in parallel in a ring around the outside of the Stadium. This ring will support several different functions.

a. It will replace the function of the existing, outdated, and deteriorating water and gas infrastructure within the Stadium footprint.

b. It will provide new water and gas services to existing elements within the Stadium which will remain (Press Box, restrooms, locker rooms, etc.).

c. It will provide new gas and water services to future buildings as proposed in the Requirements Document.

2. A complete, dual-fed loop will be provided for both water and gas, eliminating the current scenarios of dead-end runs within the Stadium for those utilities.

3. Building the new outer ring will allow construction activities to occur independently of activities within the Stadium, mitigating potential impacts to Stadium functions. While the outer ring will require demolition and replacement of asphalt and concrete, the impacts to the concourse and hardscaped areas within the Stadium will be reduced compared to performing all work within the Stadium footprint.

4. Water and gas services will be provided from the outer ring inward to existing facilities within the Stadium.

5. Water and gas stubs will be provided along the outer ring to support future facilities without the need to impact the loops for future tie-in purposes.

The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, transportation, equipment, and supervision necessary to accomplish this project.  All work shall be accomplished in accordance with requirements contained in the Drawings and Specifications, and other attachments included with the solicitation.
