Synopsis:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a solicitation package seeking to award a firm-fixed price contract for the construction of a new building, approximately 4,400 SM, to house the Base Supply and Civil Engineer Maintenance Shops. The project is referred to as the Thule Consolidation 1 project. Base supply will house goods and an administrative area, and the CE Shops will house and facilitate a metal shop, a welding area; a wood shop area, and a paint room among other areas. This project will also include the demolition of several existing facilities totaling about 14,600 SM. The demolition portions will be addressed as optional bid items in the Price Schedule. This will be a competitive, Invitation for Bids (IFB), bid opening. The work includes the construction of a multi-story, steel-framed building of approximately 4,400 gross square meters. The facility will have arctic foundations, walls and roof of prefabricated energy efficient elements All supporting utilities, site improvements, communication, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sewer and storm drainage are included.

General Conditions at Thule Air Base: The location of Thule Air Base limits exterior work to the months of June through September, although work is sometimes possible in May and/or October. Additionally, Thule's location demands that all supplies/personnel must be shipped/transported in/out via air/sealift. Thule Air Base is not a commercial air/seaport and there is no other access. Shipping schedules are dictated by Defense contracts, and materials and labor are not available locally. The region is glaciated and the existing soil is generally permafrost, which exists from 1 to 6 feet below the surface to a measured depth of 1,600 feet. Winter temperatures average between -20F to -30F, while average summer temperatures are between 40F to 50F. One annual military cargo sealift departs from Norfolk, Virginia to Thule AB, on or about 1 July. There are two sealifts that leave from Copenhagen, Denmark to Thule AB, one in July & one in August. Airlifting any materials or equipment via military aircraft is very expensive and only normally allowed on an emergency-need basis.
