Construction includes reinforced concrete drilled pier foundation, structural steel frame, masonry and insulated metal panel walls, standing seam metal roof and interior finishes. Special foundation structures due to local expansive soils. Site preparation includes site grading, construction site establishment, demolition of existing pavements and demolition of underground utilities within the site. Site improvements include earthwork landscaping, concrete pads and other exterior appurtenances. Utilities include domestic and fire protection water, electrical, sanitary sewer, storm water, natural gas and communications systems, and a 588-ton HVAC capacity. Roadways, Sidewalks and Parking includes new access drives, sidewalks, truck unloading area, Government Owned Vehicle parking areas and Personally Owned Vehicle parking lots.
\n\nFacilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria 1-200-01, General Building Requirements.
