Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This Statement of Work (SOW) details the requirements for a turn-key design, construction, and installation of a new corrosion control facility at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona. The facility's primary function is the corrosion control of Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) and other ferrous items, housed within a Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) that includes a separated maintenance support operations area.

• Site Investigation and Design Development: Comprehensive investigations including geotechnical, utility, environmental, and topographical surveys. Development of a complete design package, certified by a licensed Professional Engineer.

• Plastic Media Blast Booth: Furnish, install, and commission a complete, stand-alone system with a full floor media recovery system and dust collection.

• Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB): Design, furnish, and erect a permanent, weather-tight metal building to enclose the blast booth and maintenance area, compliant with DMAFB Design Compatibility Guidelines.

• Utilities and Site Work: Design and construct all supporting utility infrastructure, including electrical, water, sanitary sewer, and site work such as foundations, grading, drainage, and paving.

• COTS Preference: Prioritize and implement Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) or modified-COTS solutions.

• Contamination Control: Implement a three-zone "Cold/Warm/Hot" contamination control concept with cascading pressure differentials to prevent dust migration.

• HVAC: Maintain target setpoint temperatures between 60°F and 80°F in ancillary spaces, with localized climate controls.

• Noise Levels: Blast booth noise levels must be maintained below 85 dBA during operations.

• Fire Protection: Complete fire protection system compliant with applicable codes, including a formal Fire Protection Hazard Analysis.

• Breathing Air System: Design, furnish, and install a compliant Grade D Breathing Air System with continuous monitoring and alarms.

• Location: 309th AMARG, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.

• Period of Performance: Not explicitly stated in this section, but the design life of the PEMB is 40 years.

• Governing Standards: Compliance with federal, state, local, and Department of Defense guidance, regulations, and standards, including UFC, NFPA codes, and DMAFB Design Compatibility Guidelines.

• COTS Justification: Formal Non-COTS Justification Reports and Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) are required for any non-COTS components.

• Cybersecurity: Control system must achieve a formal Authority to Operate (ATO) and meet security controls for Impact Level 2 (IL2).

• Future Expansion: Design must incorporate provisions for future expansion of the facility.

• Warranties: Comprehensive one-year warranty for the facility and a five-year warranty for the PEMB structure.
