Project Description:  Plating Shop Renovations, Hill Air Force Base, Utah

REPAIR. Modernize Building 505 plating processing. The existing structure consists of reinforced concrete footings, reinforced concrete basement slabs, concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls supporting structural steel framing for tanks, operating floor, aisleways, bridge cranes, roof, and heating and ventilation air condition equipment on the roof. The plating tanks, along with columns, framing, and grating and most of the surrounding operating floor will be replaced. The existing aisleways and roof construction will be reused as much as possible. The roof structure will be modified to provide proper crane support. The floor will be repaired to provide support of new tanks. The chemical resistant coatings on the floor, walls, and ceilings will be refurbished. The ventilation will be updated for the chemical process.  Government furnished equipment (GFE) tanks with necessary support equipment will be replaced. The tank plumbing will be connected to Industrial Waste Treatment Plant (IWTP) lines. The electrical system will be updated for busways, feeders, panelboards, circuits, receptacles, instrumentation and controls and other components that need updated. Lighting will be revised, and new lights added for adjusted plating process. The fire suppression system will be updated for plating processing changes. Eyewash stations and other required life safety systems will be provided.

The work includes removal and replacement of chemical process tanks, equipment, piping, and controls for the following 10 processes/processing lines: Electroless Nickel; Cadmium Plating; Chrome and HVOF Strip; Chrome Plating; Anodize/Alodine/Iridite (Type II and Type III); Zinc Nickel Plating; Nickel Sulfamate Plating; Phosphate, Passivate and Titanium Pickle; Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI); and Temper Etch and Aqueous Degrease.

CONSTRUCTION. A Pre-Engineered metal building (PEMB) will be constructed to encompass plating line elements that extend from the side of B505.[RLTCUC(3]  The PEMB will be approximately 2,800-square-feet with basement, operating floor, equipment platforms and steel stairs. The PEMB construction includes insulated steel metal panels, a standing seam metal roof, polyisocyanurate insulation, gutters, downspouts, and snow guards. The PEMB will be located for access from B505. Access from B505 will be created by removing gypsum board infill, metal studs, and existing masonry. An expansion joint will be placed between the new PEMB and B505.

The project is planned to be executed in four (4) consecutive phases to ensure the plating shop remains fully operational throughout construction.  The project is located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 236.204(iii) the Government currently estimates the magnitude of construction for this project to be between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000.

This project is estimated to be solicited approximately Aug 2024 with construction completed within 55 months of award.
