Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New England District, has issued a Special Notice regarding the consolidation of construction requirements at Hanscom Air Force Base (AFB), MA. This project combines the construction of a new Fire Station and a new Air Passenger Terminal (APT) with the demolition of existing facilities into a single contract to improve efficiency and reduce schedule risk.
Scope of Work
The project involves three primary components:
- New Fire Station: A 26,325 square foot (SF) single-story facility featuring six apparatus bays, living quarters, administrative spaces, and an Emergency Communications Center.
- New Air Passenger Terminal (APT): A 5,150 SF facility including safety offices, a Distinguished Visitors (DV) lounge, and associated pavement/sidewalks.
- Demolition: Removal of Building 1721 (a 21,270 SF multi-story facility currently housing the fire station and APT) and Building 1639 (a 4,241 SF abandoned gas station).
Construction includes concrete foundations, steel framing, masonry walls, HVAC, fire alarms, and re-routing the flightline perimeter fence. Building 1721 must remain operational until the new facilities are completed and occupied.
