Camp Brown Command and Control Facility

Abstract

In 2012, a Kandahar Airfield Infrastructure Planning Board official proposed construction of a command and control facility at Camp Brown to support missions in southern and western Afghanistan. At the time, mission activities were split among numerous buildings on Camp Brown adapted for intended use. On June 11, 2012, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) awarded a firm-fixed-price contract - number W912ER-12-C-0031 - for approximately $5 million to the Road and Roof Construction Company (RRCC), an Afghan firm, to construct the command and control facility at Camp Brown. The contract provided a performance period of 375 days from the notice to proceed, which occurred on July 17, 2012. According to the contract, RRCC was required to construct a two-story, 1,200 square meter command and control facility containing administrative space, command group offices, conference rooms, training areas, a secure communications room, reinforced exterior walls, and building information systems. The offices were intended to provide space for multiple departments, including the command structure, logistics, maintenance, personnel, and operations. Support facilities included roads, curbs, walkways, electrical distribution and water systems, and parking. RRCC also was required to construct "all utilities," storage tanks and handling systems, force protection and fire protection measures, a backup power generator system, site security, and other features to provide a fully functional command and control facility.
