MilStar Satellite Communications Station for Offutt Air Force Base, NE

This project will construct a consolidated MilStar Satellite Communications Station for Offutt Air Force Base, NE.  Primary facilities will include a communications facility, special foundations, and redundant power generators.  Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) installation, and Energy Monitoring and Control Systems (EMCS) connections will be provided.  Construction incorporates cyber security and antiterrorism measures.  Supporting facilities include site development, utilities and connections, including placement of utility infrastructure for water, underground electrical, communications cabling, sanitary sewer, lighting, paving, parking, walks, storm drainage, information systems, landscaping, signage, fire protection, alarm systems, and self-contained air-conditioning systems.  Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 40 years in accordance with DoD's Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-02, including energy efficiencies, building

envelope and integrated building systems performance.  Large portions of the facilities shall be constructed and accredited to ICD/ICS 705 criteria.  Special oversight of these spaces may be required during construction.This project shall comply with all current State and Federal Governing standards, laws, codes, and regulations.  The facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the UFC 1-200-01 (General Building Requirements), UFC 1-200-02 (High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements), UFC 3-600-01 (Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities), UFC 4-010-01 (DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings), International Building Codes (IBC), and all current National Fire Codes.  This project will also comply with applicable DoD Air Force, and base design standards.  In addition, local materials and construction techniques shall be used, where it is cost effective.  Sustainable principles, to include lifecycle, cost-effective practices, will be integrated into the design, development, and construction of the project in accordance with Executive Order 13423, 10 USC 2802 (c), and other applicable laws and Executive Orders.
