Gate Access

Pedestrian Bridge

Project Scope: Construct a covered pedestrian

overpass bridge to the Live-Fire training ranges,
across the 4-lane Richardson Highway.
FY 2011
Impact if not provided: By constructing the
pedestrian overpass, soldiers will have a safe, PA: $2.95M
direct route to the Live-Fire training ranges that will
maximize their training time.

UNCLASSIFIED
 Construct Company OPS PN 68854

Project Scope: Construct 2 Company Operations Facility to include

enclosed hardstand, a vehicle maintenance facility, organizational
storage, organizational parking and a UPH Barracks. FY 2016
Impact if not approved: If this project is not provided, there will not be
adequate permanent facilities to support the GTF initiative. These units PA: $78M
arrived in FY2008/2009 and require permanent operational facilities in
order to perform their mission. Priority 11

UNCLASSIFIED
 Education Facility PN 14453

Project Scope: Construct a 40,875 sf facility housing a

combined Army Continuing Education Services and
main library.
Impact if not approved: If this project is not provided,
the educational facilities and library at Fort Wainwright
will remain in scattered, degraded facilities. The current FY 2016
efforts for facility reduction and space management will
not be assisted without the consolidation of these PA: $25M
facilities. Basic quality of life programs will not be
available for division personnel and will have a negative Priority 12
impact on morale within the military community.
UNCLASSIFIED
 Child Development Center (<6yrs) PN 61526

Project Scope: Construct a standard design 303-person

capacity Child Development Center at Fort Wainwright, Alaska.
The Child Development Center shall include space for food
service; infants, toddler, preschool, kindergarten, and hourly
care age activity modules.
Impact if not provided:
The off-post local area has a limited supply of child care
centers that are more expensive and a number of the child FY 2016
care centers are not accredited. To meet the needs of the
installation as it continues to grow due to re-alignment an PA: $15M
adequately sized and state of the art facility is required.
Priority 13
UNCLASSIFIED
 Brigade Intermediate Staging Base (DTA) PN 62305

Project Scope: Construct an Initial Staging Base (ISB) in

the Donnelly Training Area . The ISB will consist of: an
enclosed food preparation area, dining areas, unisex
latrines and showers, barracks, company and battalion
administrative area, gravel pad for parking, maintenance
bay and wash facilities.
Impact if not approved: Units will continue to lose valuable
training time and incur an increased cost associated with
logistics. The Soldiers will continue to endure harsh winter FY 2016
and summer conditions without logistical support facilities.
This will weaken the units ability to effectively and efficiently PA: $30M
focus all of its training efforts on its war time mission.
Priority 14
UNCLASSIFIED
 Construct PMO & CID Facility PN 61502

Project Scope: Construct a combination Provost Marshal

Office and Criminal Office. Construction will include admin
office areas, holding areas for suspects, separate holding
areas for personnel, suspect observation room, suspect
processing room, and suspect facilities.
Impact if not approved: The Provost Marshal Office and the
Criminal Investigation Office will continue to function in ill-
equipped and inadequate spaces. The buildings currently FY 2016
utilized for these offices are becoming hazardous due to the
age of the buildings and the electrical systems. The lack of PA: $30M
adequate space directly affects the ability to conduct
investigations, interrogate suspects, store evidence and Priority 15
properly confine suspects.
UNCLASSIFIED
 Construct Indoor Firing Range PN 65728

Project Scope: Construct an Indoor live-fire range for

weapons zero, qualification, and night fire training. Project will
provide a 15 firing point lit, heated, covered, protected
environment to allow live fire training during the winter months
and night fire training during summer months.
Impact if not approved: If the project is not provided, Soldiers FY 2017
will continue to endure the harsh winter months to conduct zero
qualification and live-fire training. The arctic conditions directly PA: $26M
impact the ability for Soldiers to conduct year round weapons
training. Priority 16
UNCLASSIFIED
 Replace Bailey Bridge PN 61524

Existing Single Lane Bailey Bridge

Project Scope: Replace the current one lane Bailey
Bridge (208 feet long) on the east end of River Road
with a new, wider bridge. Supporting facilities include
utilities; electric service; exterior lighting; fire protection
and alarm systems; paving, walks, curbs and gutters;
parking; erosion control and storm drainage; site
grading and contouring; information systems; site
improvements; and power distribution extension FY 2017
service.
Impact if not approved: If this project is not provided, PA: $6.9M
Soldiers will continue to experience limitations during
driver training and restricted traffic flow. Priority 17
UNCLASSIFIED
 In-Out Processing Center PN 61225

Project Scope: Construct a 14,270 sf. facility that will

house all facets of a one-stop facility for in and out
processing of military personnel and their family members
to Fort Wainwright. The current facility cannot support all
the functions that Military personnel and their dependents
encounter while processing in/out of Fort Wainwright,
Alaska and does not meet ALL requirements of the
American Disabilities Act.
Impact if not approved: If this project is not provided,
FY 2017
Soldiers will continue to undergo lengthy in-processing
and out-processing operations. PA: $15M
Priority 18
UNCLASSIFIED
 Truck Loading Complex PN 61821

Project Scope: Construct a truck loading/unloading

complex with ten truck multi-level loading positions,
adjacent supporting hardstand, operational lighting, an
operations facility, a high bay storage building, and
security fencing for AT/FP and lock-down of deploying
unit equipment. FY 2017
Impact if not approved: The existing truck ramps will
not meet the Army's surface deployment requirements of PA:
the SBCT. Without this truck loading complex, the
installation will not meet its equipment and line-haul $14.4M
transfer requirements for moving cargo to the Port of
Anchorage. Priority 19
UNCLASSIFIED
 Replace Fire Station #2 PN 61505

Project Scope: Construct a two-company satellite fire

station (12,331 sf.) to replace an older fire station that
cannot accommodate the oversized fire fighting
apparatuses. This project will provide three-drive thru
stalls for four or more pieces of fire-fighting equipment,
male and female shower and toilet facilities, and
dormitory rooms for two Fire Companies (nine
personnel).
Impact if not approved: Current facility is too small to
FY 2017
accommodate the size of the fire fighting apparatuses.
Alternative methods of meeting this requirement have PA:
been explored during project development. This $16.5M
project is the only feasible option to meet the
requirement. Priority 20
