JBR041 – Pallet Processing Facility/JBR044 – Rapid Deployment Facility

The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District, is conducting a sources sought effort for the design and construction of two facilities at JBER-Richardson, Alaska. The project includes the Pallet Processing Facility (JBR041), a 52,000 square foot all-weather facility serving as the sole hazardous cargo processing and consolidated alert preparation point, and the Rapid Deployment Facility (JBR044), a complex supporting pre-deployment and redeployment activities for a Brigade Combat Team (Airborne). The combined estimated value for these projects is approximately 182.5 million dollars, with a planned period of performance spanning fiscal years 2029 through 2032. Design is slated to begin in the first quarter of FY29, followed by a 24-month construction period starting in FY30. Due to the location in Climate Zone 7, the project requires specialized expertise in cold climate design practices. Key technical requirements include NIPR and SIPR connectivity for JBR041, cybersecurity for four platforms, and the management of known soil contamination at the JBR044 site. The Pallet Processing Facility will feature an Operations Control Center, a passenger shed for ammunition and ration issue, and a Joint Inspection Facility with vehicle inspection lanes and an indoor wash rack. The government is currently seeking industry input on the optimal project delivery method, considering options such as Construction Manager at Risk, Design-Build to Budget, or Progressive Design-Build.
