Construct Ammunition Storage RC Box Type ‘D’, Travis AFB, CA

Navfac Southwest is forecasting a contract for the design and construction of an Earth Covered Magazine Ammunition and Explosive Storage Magazine at Travis Air Force Base, California. The project follows an AE-DBB acquisition process and requires the use of the DoD DDESB Approved Standard Design for an RC Box Type D structure, measuring 158 feet 8 inches wide by 50 feet long, with heights ranging from 13 feet 8 inches at the rear to 15 feet 10 inches at the front. The facility will feature five sliding doors, each 25 feet wide by 11 feet high, with a weight capacity of 500,000 pounds. Classified under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, the scope of work includes the development of the project through the SAES phase. A critical requirement of the project is the coordination with Base Planning to confirm the necessity of a High Security Integrated Locking System. This effort is managed by the Department of the Navy to ensure the secure storage of ammunition and explosives according to strict federal standards.
