MILITARY FACILITIES
Cash & Associates has provided Architect-Engineer Services
for both individual NAVFAC project awards and multiple, concurrent projects under
indefinite quantity delivery contracts. We have served as the Prime consultant with
responsibility for project management and A-E Services, as well as a subconsultant
providing architectural, structural and/or civil design services. Our project
experience includes Navy facilities in San Diego, Port Hueneme, Oceanside, Barstow, Seal
Beach, Corona, Fallbrook and Long Beach, California. Projects have involved design
of new or rehabilitation/alteration of existing facilities including piers, wharves and
floating docks; buildings (i.e., office/administrative, training, data processing,
warehouse); vehicle maintenance facilities; ammunition, fuel and hazardous materials
storage; and infrastructure improvements such as roadways and utility systems.
Examples of our Navy project experience include:
MARK V WATERFRONT OPERATIONS SUPPORT FACILITY
Naval Air Station, North Island, San Diego, California
Led a multidiscipline consultant team for design and construction of this new 59,000 SF
facility to house operational maintenance, training and administrative functions for 12 of
the Navy's newest high speed vessels, the Mark V Special Operations Craft (MK V
SOC). The North Island location was designed to allow rapid mobilization and
transport of these vessel worldwide. The facility provides non-depot level
maintenance of rolling stock and depot level maintenance of the MK V SOC vessels. In
addition to maintenance and supply/spare parts warehousing facilities, on-site
administration and training facilities with classrooms and briefing areas were
provided. 
Other project elements included relocation of the
NASNI Aero Club. Civil site improvements included grading and paving, and natural
gas, sanitary sewer, storm drain, potable water and firewater systems. Final design
documents included a new 115' by 37' U-shaped, reinforced concrete pier, 60' long concrete
floating docks to berth five vessels, and an ADA compliant gangway. Special design
requirements for the pier included the capability to support the combined load of a 50-ton
MK V SOC vessel and a 70-ton marine travel lift used to lift the vessels out of the water
and transport them to the maintenance facility.
INDEFINITE QUANTITY-INDEFINITE DELIVER (IDID)
CONTRACTS
Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach and Its Annexes, California
Cash & Associates IDIQ contract experience includes two consecutive contracts with
the NWS Seal Beach (pictured) that included facilities at the Naval Warfare
Assessment Division, Corona, and Naval Ordnance Center, Fallbrook, CA.
Responsibilities included project management, structural, civil and architectural
design, cost estimating, special engineering studies, construction document preparation,
construction support services, and coordination of subconsultant disciplines (i.e., MEP,
environmental, material testing). Projects focused on new facilities and
repairs/alterations to existing buildings including comprehensive condition/code
compliance assessments. Buildings included historically significant structures at
Seal Beach and Corona. Additional work included sewer system repairs, hazardous
materials and fuel storage facilities, roadway repairs and modifications, special
engineering/feasibility studies, and repairs to waterfront structures (i.e., piers,
wharves, dolphins). Waterfront structure repairs included provisions for
construction methods and materials that considered the sensitive environmental nature of
this Federally protected wildlife sanctuary with extensive wetlands.
OLSEN SPACE TRACKING FACILITY RELOCATION
San Diego, California
Complete architectural, structural, and civil design to relocate existing receiver site
facilities from leased commercial property to Navy-owned land. This facility is one
of several sites used to track and catalog space objects. Facility relocation and
upgrade was part of a program to replace aging equipment and facilities. Project
components included a new operations building with RF shield room, a 4800 LF antenna
array, pre-amp buildings, garage/general storage building, various improvements to
the new site, and restoration of the vacated site. Project design concerns included
strict requirements for the antenna array and measures to mitigate damage to endangered
native plants at the project site. Work included coordination of subconsultant
disciplines and construction phase support services.
SPLICELESS SONAR DOME MANUFACTURING FACILITY
Naval Shipyard, Long Beach, California
Complete architectural, structural and civil services,
and coordination of subconsultant disciplines for design of a new permanent facility to
support fabrication and testing operations for manufacture of splicess sonar rubber bow
domes used on Destroyer Class Navy vessels. The facility was designed to provide
efficient manufacturing/fabrication operations for up to 24 domes per year with the
capability to expand production for future demand. Initial work involved preparation
of a comprehensive industrial engineering study for development of the 3.5-acre project
site including review of existing similar B.F. Goodrich facilities. Facility design
(building orientation and configuration) reflected planning for maximum functional
efficiency and adaptation to very specific site constraints. Facility components
included two high-bay production buildings adjoining a two story production support area
with offices, labs, conference room, dry and cold storage, and loading dock, and an open
demold area. Several bridge cranes were incorporated throughout the facility.
Design included stringent measures for facility ventilation due to the potentially
volatile nature of chemicals used in the manufacturing process, as well as compliance with
strict Southern California Air Quality Management District Standards. Civil design
included site infrastructure and utility systems. Construction documents were
subsequently updated for the Navy prior to closure of the Naval Shipyard.
ELECTRONIC WARFARE/TRAINING FACILITIES
Various Locations
Cash & Associates has provided project management,
architectural, structural and civil design for tenant improvements to support removal of
outdated equipment and installation of new computerized training simulation equipment for
two projects. Building 800 at the "Top Gun" Facility at the U.S. Navy
Fleet Analysis Center, NAS Fallon, Nevada and Building 52, Device 20A66 Surface
Anti-Submarine Warfare Tactical Team Trainer Site Preparation at the Fleet Anti-Submarine
Warfare Training Center Pacific, San Diego, CA. Work at NAS Fallon included
demolition and modification of approximately 75% of an existing single story building to
provide space for new video display theaters, computer equipment rooms with raised access
floors, a pilot's lounge, locker rooms, and various associated site improvements.
Work at the San Diego Facility included removal/demolition of outmoded trainers and design
of a new central auditorium with classrooms, computer rooms, offices and restrooms around
the surrounding perimeter.
CRASH CREW TRAINING/OIL SPILL PREVENTION FACILITY
Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, California
Complete civil and structural engineering, project management and construction services
for a new facility to support base fire department crash crew training operations.
The facility, located on an active assault helicopter landing zone, allows fires to be
ignited and extinguished, using either water or a water/AFFF mixture, in specially
designed, shallow, concrete refractory lined ponds. Project components storage
tanks, oil-water separator, pumping equipment and piping. Special studies were
prepared to maximize the reclamation of fuel and minimize make-up water requirements.
In addition, the non-potable water storage tank provides a reserve water source for
extinguishing base brush fires.

NAVFAC experience.
