SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The purpose of the Hydrant Area C Fueling Facilities project is to provide a Type III jet fuel hydrant system for the Washington ANG at Fairchild AFB. The 141 ARW does not have adequate fueling facilities to support its federal and state missions. The 141 ARW has been located on Fairchild AFB since 1976. The 141 ARW is based on property licensed to the Washington ANG for the purposes of training airmen to respond to state and federal missions during peace and wartime. The bed?down from Geiger Airfield (Spokane International Airport) to Fairchild AFB was necessary for the new mission of KC?135 aircraft, which continues to be the current mission. In 2007, as a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act, the 141 ARW entered into a Classic Association for the KC?135 aircraft with the 92 ARW, the host wing on Fairchild AFB. The specific scope includes, but is not limited to: Two 10,000 blue barrel (bbl). jet fuel tanks One 2,400 GPM pumphouse Two truck offloads Two truck fillstands One 10 transfer line One 12 hydrant loop Eight hydrant pits Various site fuel piping An 8-position truck refueler parking area Potential for truck filling stations, offloading stations, and refueler parking area stations with canopies SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: Interested firms should submit a capabilities package limited to 3-4 pages (exclude Joint Venture and Bonding information from page count) and include the following: Firm s name, address (mailing and URL), point of contact, phone number and email address.

Subject: Hydrant Area C Refueling Facilities at Fairchild Air Force Base (FAFB), Spokane, Washington (WA) NAICS Code: 237120- Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structure Construction. Product Service Code: Y1NA, Construction of Fuel Supply Facilities THIS IS A PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT (PLA) SURVEY ONLY. This is a SPECIAL NOTICE. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this notice. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District is soliciting comments from the construction community addressing use of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for an upcoming project for the Construction of the Hydrant Area C Refueling Facilities at Fairchild Air Force Base (FAFB), Spokane, Washington. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The Construction of the Hydrant Area C Refueling Facilities at Fairchild Air Force Base (FAFB), Spokane, Washington (WA) consists of providing a new hydrant loop which will include hydrant pits, fuel piping, fuel equipment, and the removal and replacement of airfield pavement. The loop will connect to a new pumphouse, which will include all necessary equipment including pumps, filter separators, fuel equipment control systems, product recovery tank, generator, and a leak detection system. This project will provide operational fuel storage tanks with all associated appurtenances including secondary containment; construct truck offloading stations for fuel receipt and truck fill stands for fuel loading along with associated equipment canopies. Cybersecurity measures will be applied to facility related control systems in accordance with current DoD criteria. This project will include the construction of site fuel piping to connect the pumphouse to the operational fuel storage tanks, truck offload stations, and truck fill stands. It will provide a transfer fuel line to connect the new hydrant loop site to the existing bulk fuel storage facilities. Environmental mitigation addresses the excavation, handling, and disposal of soil contaminated with Pe- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as well as the treatment and filtering of similarly contaminated groundwater, to the extent necessary to accomplish construction work. Site improvement includes truck refueler parking, general pavement, fences, gates, fire protection, and lighting. Construct all necessary water, sewer, electric, and communication utility lines and connections. Site development includes general site clearing, leveling, and appropriate storm drainage infrastructure. Period of Performance is anticipated to be approximately 1035 calendar days, with a construction award targeted for fiscal year 2027. MAGNITUDE: In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the magnitude of the estimated cost of construction (ECC) range for this project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED: Some of the factors that may be considered regarding PLA use are the following: The project will require multiple construction contractors and/or subcontractors employing workers in multiple crafts or trades. There is a shortage of skilled labor in the region in which the construction project will be sited. Completion of the project will require an extended period of time. PLAs have been used on comparable projects undertaken by Federal, State, municipal, or private entities in the geographic area of the project. A PLA will promote the agency s long term program interests, such as facilitating the training of a skilled workforce to meet the agency s future construction needs. Any other factors that the agency decides are appropriate. FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGUATIONS (FAR) 22.502 DEFINITIONS: Project labor agreement means a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project and is an agreement described in 29 U.
