Description of Work/Type of Construction:
This project was awarded as a Task Order under the Streamlined Construction Improvement Program (SCIP) IDIQ, by DeCA, the Defense Commissary Agency, under the Air Force's AETC. DeCA's contracting branch has been moved to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and now administers the SCIP Program through the Kansas City District. BE&K believes this Government Retail/Food service facility is relevant to the Campus Building C2 because it contains many of the same key construction scope elements. BE&K's performance was rated as Above Average by the Contracting Officer.
The new 233,000 sf facility consists of a 103,000 sf commissary and a 130,000 sf main exchange. It also possesses other retail facilities including a pharmacy, men's and women's salons, and a food court. Site improvements for the complex encompass site work, services roads, employee parking, a 1,000-space customer parking lot, sidewalks, and landscape improvements around the facility with benches, trash receptacles, and a bicycle rack.
Construction materials include structural steel on cast-in-place concrete foundations. The building exterior is masonry veneer with CMU backup walls and a single-ply roof. Scope also includes loading dock equipment, refrigeration systems, fire protection system, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work. Interior construction and related finishes include interior partitions, floor coverings of tile, VCT and carpet, suspended ceilings, prefabricated insulated coolers and freezers, various wall finishes, and doors.
The sales area includes wall, floor, and ceiling finishes; lighting systems; department and aisle signage; accent graphics; slot boards; various departments including grocery, meat, dairy, frozen foods, produce, deli and bakery, and related refrigerated display cases. The front end includes checkout counters and space for bagging and cart storage, administrative offices and storage areas.
Changes and additions to the original scope of the project, issued both prior to and after the BOD, increased the construction schedule dramatically. However, the existence of an outstanding spirit of partnering permitted BE&K to direct and complete work prior to the issuance of formal modifications, thus allowing forward progress and minimizing delays. This trusting relationship alone eliminated an estimated 240 days from the schedule.
