SAN ANTONIO, TX Contract: W9126G-19-F-0361

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The project entails the design-build delivery of a covered horse paddock at Joint Base San Antonio. The scope includes comprehensive site preparation, concrete work, wood-framed building construction, and durable roofing system installation. This project aims to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing facility for horses’ safe and comfortable housing.

Scope of Work:

  1. Site Work:

    • Site Assessment and Preparation: Conduct a thorough site assessment to determine the optimal location for the paddock. Clear and grade the site to ensure a stable and level foundation.
    • Utilities and Drainage: To support the paddock’s operations, install necessary utilities, including water and electrical lines. Implement effective drainage solutions to prevent water accumulation and ensure a dry and safe horse environment.

  2. Concrete Work:

    • Foundation and Slab: Design and pour a reinforced concrete foundation and slab to provide a solid and durable base for the paddock structure. Ensure the concrete work meets all relevant building codes and standards.
    • Walkways and Aprons: Construct concrete walkways and aprons around the paddock to facilitate easy access and movement for both horses and handlers.

  1. Wood Building Construction:

    • Framing: Erect a robust wood-framed structure designed to withstand local weather conditions and provide a safe environment for the horses. Use high-quality, treated lumber to ensure longevity and resist pests and decay.
    • Walls and Partitions: Install wooden walls and partitions to create individual stalls or sections within the paddock, providing adequate space and separation for the horses.
    • Ventilation and Lighting: The design should incorporate proper ventilation and natural lighting to maintain a healthy and comfortable environment for the horses. Additional lighting fixtures should be installed as needed for visibility and safety.

  2. Roof Installation:

    • Design and Materials: Design a durable and weather-resistant roofing system to cover the entire paddock. Use high-quality roofing materials, such as metal or composite shingles, to ensure longevity and protection from the elements.
    • Gutters and Downspouts: Install gutters and downspouts to effectively manage rainwater runoff and prevent water damage to the structure and surrounding areas.

Additional Activities:

  • Safety and Compliance:

    • Ensure all construction activities comply with relevant safety regulations and building codes. Conduct regular safety inspections and train workers to maintain a safe job site.
    • To enhance the safety of horses and handlers, incorporate features such as non-slip flooring and rounded edges on walls and partitions.

  • Environmental Considerations:

    • Implement sustainable construction practices, such as using eco-friendly materials and minimizing waste. Design the paddock to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment, preserving the natural landscape.

  • Project Management:

    • Coordinate closely with Joint Base San Antonio representatives to align the project with their requirements and expectations. Develop a detailed project schedule to ensure timely completion of all phases.
    • Maintain open communication with all stakeholders to address any concerns or changes promptly and effectively.

Upon completion, the covered horse paddock will provide a high-quality, functional, and safe facility that meets the needs of both the horses and their handlers at Joint Base San Antonio.
