Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District has issued a Total Small Business Set-Aside solicitation for a Design-Bid-Build construction contract to expand the hangar doors at Facility B90176 in support of the HADES mission at Fort Hood, Texas. The work involves replacing two existing hangar doors with single 120-foot-wide rolling sectional vertical fabric doors (with two sections of increased height) to accommodate the ME-11B (Bombardier Global 6500) aircraft, requiring substantial structural modifications to the pre-engineered metal building (PEMB). Additional scope includes removing/replacing wind posts, grade beams, spandrel beams, and portions of the concrete slab; extending the trench drain and adjusting man-doors/wall-mounted utility lines; installing higher-capacity door motors; refinishing and restriping affected hangar floor areas; making minor partition and finish modifications to support new flight group requirements; and evaluating replacement of fan and motor control centers of existing Big Ass Fans, with extensive structural, fire suppression, and life safety analysis required for code compliance.
