This Design/Bid/Build requirement will involve two project elements at Wright Patterson AFB that will be constructed at the same time as they are being built on the same sight, utilizing the same utilities and other joint spaces. The first element is a 300-member Army Reserve Center (ARC) on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (AFB). Facilities include construction of an ARC Training Building and Unheated Storage Building. The buildings will be approximately 41,329 SF. Building(s) will be of permanent construction with reinforced concrete foundations; concrete floor slabs; reinforced concrete or masonry walls; low-slope or sloped roof; Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC); lubrication distribution, waste oil disposal system, and compressed air systems; and plumbing, mechanical, and security systems; and electrical systems and transformer. Supporting facilities include land clearing, paving, concrete aprons, vehicle wash rack/platform, bi-level equipment loading ramp, fencing, general site improvements and utility connections. Accessibility for the disabled will be provided. Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) and physical security measures will be incorporated into the design including standoff distances from roads, parking areas and vehicle unloading areas. Sustainability/Energy measures will be provided. Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 40 years in accordance with DoD's Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1-200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance.

The second element is to construct on WPAFB a co-located AMSA / VMS for three Army Reserve units. The maintenance shop will be constructed to the modified Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility (TEMF) standard design consisting of 32'x96' drive thru work bay(s) (comprised of a 16'x32' work area per bay), work bay safety aisle, equipment alcove, tool/parts storage, flammable/controlled waste storage, fluid distribution, classroom/break area, restrooms/showers/lockers, maintenance administrative support areas and an overhead traveling crane spanning all work bays. The project will also provide concrete aprons, vehicle wash rack/platform(s), a bi-level equipment loading ramp and adequate parking space for military and privately-owned vehicles.
