The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, anticipates issuing a prospective procurement for constructing a Component Remanufacturing Facility (CRF), approximately 400 thousand square feet, as an incrementally funded single project for existing and next generation combat vehicles to consolidate component remanufacturing processes and operations from 13 current facilities across a 130-acre area into a single location to replace and modernize functions currently conducted in various locations. The project will improve process flow, efficiency, repair cycle time, and inventory control, and will incorporate modern manufacturing process and automation, technology, equipment, facility, and infrastructure planning and design. The facility will include high bay, open span, enclosed space for disassembly, cleaning, cadmium capable welding, machining, chemical cleaning and electroplating, hydraulic, electronics, and optics repair and testing, painting, assembly, staging/buffer areas, and support areas (e.g., administrative space, automation control center, parts and tool storage, locker rooms, break rooms, and shower facilities). The facility will be designed to be Multi-use, Flexible, Robust, Energy Efficient, Code Compliant, Low Maintenance, and will provide a Quality Work Environment, and be capable of supporting current and future missions.

The prospective procurement will involve: design-build (DB) construction for the CRF; construction of eight (8) existing facility renovation and/or additions for relocations for demolition of three (3) facilities of approximately 270 thousand square feet within the footprint of the CRF; and contractor furnished and installed equipment. The overall procurement is expected to be in the range of $500-750 million. Facility includes fire protection and alarm systems, cybersecurity, building information systems, and Energy Monitoring Control Systems (EMCS) connections. The CRF will house a large amount of equipment, including cranes and state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, much of which will be new, but some will be relocated from existing facilities for installation by the contractor. The facility will be heated and air-conditioned, except for high-ventilation areas, such as plating and wash racks, which will be heated and ventilated only. Supporting facilities require utility services and connection for electric, exterior lighting, water, natural gas, sanitary sewer, industrial sewer, compressed air, fire pumps, and information systems to include fiber optic cable service. Site improvements include a retaining wall, access roads, a containment area, parking, fencing, sidewalks, curbs, storm sewer and culverts, lightning protection system, and signage. Storm drainage includes storm sewer, a bioretention system, and tank for rainwater harvesting. Demolition includes removal of the three buildings, concrete, asphalt, and gravel; and various utilities (water, storm drain, sanitary sewer, steam cleaning waste line, industrial sewer, natural gas, and electrical), which are located in the proposed site of the new building and require removal prior to construction. Measures in accordance with the Department of Defense (DoD) Minimum Antiterrorism for Buildings standards will be required.
