Building Partnerships that Sustain Air Force Installations Think Tank Approach How can Small Businesses successfully deliver facility projects meeting required cost, schedule, and quality standards? Focus on a specific project scenario typical of the scope / complexity executed by AFCEC as design agent / construction agent What technical/management approach would Small Businesses utilize to mitigate the risks associated with this type of project? What other risks factors may be inherent to this type of project? Does Small Business have the capability to successfully execute this type of complex project? If not, what recommendations would Small Business make to the acquisition or execution strategy to make Small Business more competitive? Outcomes: Improved Small Business understanding of AFCEC D&C workload and risks Crossfeed of recommendations for improved design and construction processes by both AFCEC and Small Business 2

Building Partnerships that Sustain Air Force Installations Scenario #1 Airfield Repair 3 Project Value$100M Project LocationCONUS Execution MethodTraditional – Design-Bid-Build Project Description Conduct a full-depth runway and taxiway repair / replacement at a major AF installation. Ensure flight operations at the parallel runway on the installation not being repaired are not impacted. Repair/replace all associated NAVAIDs and airfield lighting. Airfield is located on a wetland. Frequent mission- driven work stoppages will be required due to sensitive flight operations. Key Risk Factors Airfield pavement construction – specialized capability Airfield lighting / NAVAID construction – specialized capability Wetland construction Security Interface with active flying mission

Building Partnerships that Sustain Air Force Installations Scenario #2 Facility Renovation 5 Project Value $20M Project Location CONUS Execution Method Design-Build Project Description Renovate 50,000 SF, multi-story administrative facility. Renovate swing space for facility occupants in adjacent facilities and ensure full communications / IT mission capability. Existing facility is 50 years old and needs extensive building systems repair. Entire facility is considered a historic resource. Project scope includes complete HVAC, fire protection, and electrical system replacement and upgrade to incorporate 50% emergency backup power. Project scope will require extensive asbestos abatement. Approximately one third of facility is a SCIF. Current facility does currently not have an elevator or fire escapes and is not AT/FP compliant. Upgrading of facility to current code will be required for a majority of building systems. Key Risk Factors Historic preservation Cost control during design AT/FP compliance ABA compliance SCIF certification Schedule management Swing space

Building Partnerships that Sustain Air Force Installations Scenario #3 Medical Clinic Renovation 7 Project Value $25M Project Location CONUS Execution Method Design-Build Project Description Design-build renovation of an active military medical clinic. Clinic will remain open during renovation with 100% of patient capacity and swing space must be created within the facility itself during the renovation. Facility will receive a total roof replacement as well as comprehensive building system replacement/repair. Parking area must be completely repaired to bring facility into AT/FP compliance while clinic remains open for business. Key Risk Factors Patient safety Medical design/construction Swing space coordination Construction in an active facility AT/FP
