The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, permits, testing, documentation, and incidental services necessary to design and construct a permanent concrete foundation and associated site improvements for a retired HH-60G Pave Hawk static display at Moffett Air National Guard Base, Santa Clara County, California.  The project will create a safe, durable, low-maintenance display area that safely supports the aircraft, manages drainage, and provides associated grounding, lighting, and site restoration features.  The requirement is anticipated to be contractor-designed construction, with the contractor responsible for the completeness, coordination, accuracy, and code compliance of the final design and construction.

The scope is expected to include utility verification; site verification and layout; clearing, grubbing, and limited demolition; excavation and earthwork; export and disposal of excavated soil; irrigation modification; construction of an oval/elliptical concrete display pad; aircraft support features; anchoring/mooring features; static grounding; evaluation and installation of lightning-protection measures; solar-powered perimeter lighting; grading and stormwater drainage improvements; and landscape restoration of disturbed areas.

The display pad is anticipated to be approximately 64 feet long by 25 feet maximum width with an approximate area of 1,256 square feet.  The contractor will also coordinate aircraft orientation and clearances with the Government, and account for rotor and tail overhang.

The contractor will be required to coordinate aircraft placement and tiedown with the Government. Preparation, restoration, preservation treatment, or refurbishment of the aircraft for display is not anticipated to be part of this requirement.

The anticipated magnitude of construction is between $100,000 and $250,000.
