Barnes Air National Guard Base Main Gate Relocation
Westfield, MA
The 104th Fighter Wing is a numbered organization of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, stationed at Barnes Air National Guard Base, which is co-located at the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport. Relocating main gate operations for employees and visitors to comply with DoD minimum anti-terrorism standards for buildings was a priority for the Wing.
The gate relocation project includes a 300 SF gate house, 1,200 SF of overhead protection, two lanes of POV checkpoints, 1,200 SF commercial vehicle inspection bay, security fencing, passive vehicle barriers, emergency power generation, and roads.
Ellana prepared cost estimates with options and additive bid items at the following phases: preliminary concept development (35%), Contract Document Development (65%), Pre-final Design (95%), Final Design (100%), and change order cost estimates. Our work met the requirements of the latest DCAMM Cost Estimating Manual. Estimates were submitted in both Uniformat II to Level 3 and CSI Masterformat during the design phases.
