U.S. G.P.O. 1977-241-130/12 15 A 55,000 barrel jet fuel storage steel tank with interior epoxy coating, spillage protection dike, security fencing and perimeter lighting. System addition includes issue and receipt fuel lines. ADEQUATE: 38,000 BL SUBSTANDARD: 0 11. REQUIREMENT: 93,000 BL PROJECT: Construct a new jet fuel storage tank to meet war readiness requirements. REQUIREMENT: Additional jet fuel storage is required to satisfy the prepositioned war reserve materials (WRM) requirements at this base. CURRENT SITUATION: Current jet fuel storage is inadequate for present and future needs. Nearly all of the prepositioned WRM fuel requirement is located 200 miles away at an Air National Guard base which has a limited dispensing capability. Offutt supports sorties for electronic (EC-135), reconnaissance (RC-135), tanker (KC-135), Post Attack Command Control Systems (PACCS), and National Emergency Airborne Command Post (NEACP) aircraft in the event of a contingency situation or wartime scenario. Fuel will have to be trucked to Offutt and, due to limited dispensing or outloading capability and distance, resupply in a timely manner will not be possible. With a large portion of Offutt's on-base WRM fuel supply used up in the early hours of any hostilities, required follow-on sorties will not be generated. There have been several occasions that support of priority aircraft was seriously jeopardized due to interruptions in fuel delivery and depletion of on-base stock levels. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Failure to provide this project will seriously affect our capability to support mission requirements. MAY A. ESTIMATED ANNUAL COST TO OPERATE THE PROPOSED FACILITY... B.

Includes electrical modifications to provide an effective and functional emergency power system using the existing emergency generators at Offutt AFB. 11. REQUIREMENT: 10,950 KW ADEQUATE: 7,950 KW SUBSTANDARD: 0 PROJECT: Construct a new underground emergency feeder circuit from the emergency generator facility to the Air Force Global Weather Control (AFGWC) facility. REQUIREMENT: The AFGWC is required to provide highly reliable weather information to many high priority customers which include computer flight plans for three major commands (MAC, SAC, and TAC), wind forecasts for alert forces in Europe, severe weather warnings for resource protection for Air Force, Army, and other defense agencies, Air Force and radar propagation forecasts for NORAD, tropical storm advisories for defense installations, special environmental support for National Emergency Airborne Command Post (NEACP), flight advisories to defense aircraft, and space environmental support to the Department of Defense, including space shuttle operations. CURRENT SITUATION: The AFGWC computer readiness requirement is 99% overall availability with no computer outage greater than 30 minutes, including recovery time. Although the AFGWC computers have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and the air handlers and pumps have emergency backup power, the air conditioning chillers require emergency backup power to ensure continued computer system operations. Without air conditioning, the computers will overheat in as little as five minutes with considerable damage. DD. 1 The General Accounting Office, in their 24 Jan 80 report on the AFGWC to the House Committee on Government Operations, acknowledged this lack of backup power for the air conditioners as being responsible for the most severe AFGWC production interruptions. In 1980, there were eight interruptions of power, resulting in 51 hours of computer downtime; the shortest outage lasting 1 1/2 hours, the longest 10 1/2 hours. In addition, 62 hours of remedial maintenance was required on computer equipment damaged as a result of the power outages. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: When the computer system is down, AFGWC will fail to meet requirements of its many high-priority customers. FORM DD, 1391c PREVIOUS EDITION IS OBSOLETE IN THE USAF.
