The construction of the Consolidated Communication Center will include demolition two facilities to make space for a single-structure facility for US Air Forces (USAF) 89th, 744th, and 83rd squadrons. The base-value of the contract includes options to provide for audiovisual services, landscaping, water infiltration testing, air infiltration testing, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
The design-bid-build project is a firm-fixed-price contract award, a part of obligated fiscal 2017 USAF military construction funds and was competitively procured through a SAM.gov solicitation with six proposals received. If exercised, additional construction services will increase the cumulative contract to a potential value of approximately $61.7 million.
Balfour Beatty will leverage innovative technologies and lean construction methods to deliver the new Consolidated Comms building including Building Information Modeling, Last Planner System integrated with the company’s CPM P6 Schedule process, and monthly project reviews powered by Power BI.
The company will also work with its repeat design partners Wiley|Wilson and Burns & McDonnell, who have provided architectural and engineering services for Balfour Beatty projects.
