Construction to Enclose and Install/Refurbish a Phosphoric Acid Anodize Production Line

Hill Air Force Base in Utah is planning to solicit bids for a project involving the construction and refurbishment of a Phosphoric Acid Anodize (PAA) production line, specifically designed for anodizing aluminum aircraft parts. The contractor selected will be responsible for providing all necessary supplies, materials, tools, equipment, and labor to install and refurbish the production line. Additionally, the project includes constructing an enclosure for the PAA process area. Key tasks entail repairing HVAC systems and installing various components such as walls, ceilings, lighting, smoke dampers, fire protection systems, electrical systems, and diffusers. Prior to starting the project, the contractor must conduct an asbestos and lead-based paint inspection, with any removal work to be carried out by certified specialists. This effort is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 236210, focusing on construction, and will be subject to the availability of funds, governed by FAR 52.232-18. The solicitation number is FA8201-11-C-0046, with the place of performance at Hill AFB, Utah. Interested parties can contact Emily M. Pogue for more information. The project was announced in September 2011, highlighting the government's intent to improve the anodizing capabilities while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance throughout the construction and refurbishing process.
