The document outlines the Statement of Work (SOW) for an investigation and design project involving the repair of hangar doors at Eielson AFB, specifically Buildings 1340 and 1362. Building 1340's hangar door is currently inoperable, and previous assessments concluded that repairs without redesign are unfeasible. The SOW calls for the development of design concepts and a life cycle cost analysis for replacing the doors, alongside addressing excessive maintenance costs of the vertical fabric doors in Building 1362.
The project includes investigating site conditions, performing hazardous material surveys, and creating comprehensive design documents. It specifies four main tasks: investigating and reporting, producing design documents at varying stages (35%, 65%, 95%, and final), and addressing hazardous materials as identified in previous surveys, such as lead-based paint. Design services must adhere to federal and local regulations, ensuring safety and compliance throughout.
The document emphasizes a structured review process at each design stage, requiring specific deliverables to be submitted and approved before moving forward. This comprehensive project reflects the government’s commitment to renovating military facilities while maintaining safety standards and ensuring functional operability.
SUNEX, Inc. conducted a lead-based paint survey at Building 1340, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, with reports issued on various dates in 2001, 2002, and 2003. These surveys utilized a NITON 703A XRF Spectrum Analyzer to assess interior and exterior components for lead content, defining lead-based paint as any with 1 mg/cm² or greater of lead. The surveys consistently found no lead-based paint in the examined areas, including the hangar and office floors, and within the building's interior. However, one survey indicated the presence of lead-based paint on a fire hose connection located on the northeast side of the building. Each report outlines sample locations, test conditions, and results, reinforcing the commitment to safety and compliance with environmental regulations. The documentation aims to assist in maintenance and renovation planning while ensuring adherence to lead safety standards, crucial for informing future repair and improvement projects in governmental and military facilities.
C4 Doors was contracted to assess the canopy tip-up hangar doors at Building 1340, Eielson AFB, Alaska, which began failing after renovations in 2019. The field survey report documents several issues, including misaligned cables, doors not centered in their openings, incorrect lifting pins, missing cable sheave axle locks, and improperly installed top rollers. These deficiencies indicated that the hangar doors were unsuitable for operation.
The report concludes with two recommendations for remediation. Option 1 involves a comprehensive overhaul of the doors, adopting a single drive counterweight system and overhauling various structural and operational components. Option 2 proposes converting the existing doors into a self-supporting bottom rolling system, designed to meet contemporary standards and enhance operational efficiency. This new configuration would allow for a quicker opening time, accommodating up to five airmen for manual operations when necessary. The findings emphasize immediate attention for safety and functionality of hangar operations while providing a framework for improvement.
