CONSTRUCTION. A Pre-Engineered metal building (PEMB) will be constructed to encompass plating line elements that extend from the side of B505.[RLTCUC(3]  The PEMB will be approximately 2,800-square-feet with basement, operating floor, equipment platforms and steel stairs. The PEMB construction includes insulated steel metal panels, a standing seam metal roof, polyisocyanurate insulation, gutters, downspouts, and snow guards. The PEMB will be located for access from B505. Access from B505 will be created by removing gypsum board infill, metal studs, and existing masonry. An expansion joint will be placed between the new PEMB and B505.

The project is planned to be executed in four (4) consecutive phases to ensure the plating shop remains fully operational throughout construction.  The project is located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 236.204(iii) the Government currently estimates the magnitude of construction for this project to be between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000.
