THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. THERE WILL NOT BE A SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS, OR DRAWINGS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Mid-Atlantic is seeking eligible business firms capable of performing Design/Bid/Build services for P-251, Advanced Arresting Gear Test Site, NAES Lakehurst, Lakehurst, New Jersey. The contract will provide: 1. Renovation of the Runway Arrested Landing Site (RALS) facility. The RALS is a 16,000 SF facility located approximately 17 ft below grade and directly beneath a test runway. The RALS facility currently houses two types of arresting gear. Personnel access the space via a hatch and a ships ladder. Access for removal and replacement of material/equipment requires disassembly of multiple structural steel plate panels. A new generation of aircraft arresting gear will be installed in the RALS under a separate contract. This contract will remove obsolete equipment and prepare the RALS to support the new equipment. An equipment pad will be constructed approx 800 ft from the RALS. A 70 ton air cooled chiller and associated pumps will provide chilled water through underground piping to a buffer tank and heat exchanger in the RALS. A new 34.5KV circuit will provide power via 4000 lf of duct bank and manholes. The new circuit will feed a new 750KVA transformer in the RALS via a n! ew SF6 three way switch located on the equipment pad. A new exit way will be constructed in one of the eight tunnels that project from the RALS. Various modifications are required to accommodate the new equipment such as mounting plates for future equipment and new retractable sheaves for the arresting cable. 2. Demolition and new construction at the Jet Car Test Site (JCTS) on Track 3 includes test track repairs and construction of three pre-engineered buildings to accommodate arresting gear motors and computer gear. A new generation of aircraft arresting gear will be installed above ground under a separate contract. Two buildings will be demolished. The new buildings are 2000 to 2500 SF. A sweep for possible UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) is required prior to any underground work. The existing test rails required new fasteners to secure the existing brake plate (800 LF) and new anchor bolts. The bituminous pavement in the overrun area requires milling and repaving. 3. A new High Speed Aircraft Turnaround will connect the existing 75 FT wide taxiway to the 150 FT wide test runway. The turnaround is approximately 2000 ft from the RALS. The turnaround pavement will be 10 inches thick non-reinforced Portland cement concrete over two 42 inch reinforced concrete pipes. Infiltration ponds and associated work is required.
