Quick Summary

The Department of the Army is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for a Total Small Business Set-Aside design-build Request for Proposal (RFP) for Life Safety Repairs (FTW506) at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. This project involves significant electrical, fire alarm, and structural upgrades to ensure life safety and operational compliance. The solicitation is anticipated to be released on or about May 26, 2026.

Scope of Work

This design-build project encompasses several critical upgrades:

Electrical Installation: Install power on the southeast of Hangar 1 to support Black Hawk Aircrew Trainer (BAT) and Transportable Flight Procedure Simulator (TFPS) units, including their ECUs. This requires two 120/208v, 200 amp, 60Hz, three-phase, 4-wire plus ground services with specific receptacles.
Fire Safety Systems: Connect simulators to the existing Fire Alarm System and convert bay areas to a wet pipe sprinkler system. Updates to the existing fire system may be required to meet current building codes.
Egress and Life Safety: Correct egress deficiencies and implement other necessary life safety repairs, such as code-required egress/emergency lighting.
Arms Vault Upgrade: Install expanded metal mesh in a pre-fabricated arms vault (from project FTW433) to comply with AR190-11 Tab G.
Historical Building Coordination: The building is identified as historical, requiring coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to ensure compliance.
