US overseeing mysterious construction project in Israel
Walter Pincus, WaPo, Nov 28 2012
The US Army Corps of Engineers plans to supervise construction of a five-story underground facility for an IDF complex oddly named “Site 911” at an IAF base near Tel Aviv. Expected to take more than two years to build at a cost of up to $100m, the facility is to have classrooms on Level 1, an auditorium on Level 3, a laboratory, shock-resistant doors, protection from nonionizing radiation and very tight security. Clearances will be required for all construction workers, guards will be at the fence, and barriers will separate it from the rest of the base. Only US construction firms are being allowed to bid on the contract, and proposals are due Dec 3, according to the latest Corps of Engineers notice.
Site 911 is the latest in a long history of military construction projects the US has undertaken for the IDF under the US Foreign Military Sales program. The 1998 Wye River Memorandum has led to about $500m in US construction of military facilities for Israel, most of them initially in an undeveloped part of the Negev Desert, supposedly to ensure there were bases to which IDF forces stationed in the West Bank could be redeployed. As recorded in the Corps’ European District magazine, Engineering in Europe, three bases were built to support 20,000 troops, and eventually the IAF moved into the same area, creating Nevatim air base. A new runway 2.5 miles long was built there by the Corps along with about 100 new buildings and 10 miles of roads. Over the years, the Corps has built underground hangers for Israeli fighter-bombers, facilities for handling nuclear weapons, though Israel does not admit having such weapons, command centers, training bases, intelligence facilities and simulators, according to Corps publications. Within the past two years the Corps, which has three offices in Israel, completed a $30m set of hangars at Nevatim, which the magazine describes as a “former small desert outpost that has grown to be one of the largest and most modern air bases in the country.” It has also supervised a $20m project to build maintenance shops, hangars and headquarters to support Israel’s large Eitan UAV.Site 911, which will be built at another base, appears to be one of the largest projects. Each of the first three underground floors is to be roughly 41,000 sq ft, according to the Corps notice. The lower two floors are much smaller and hold equipment. The notice says that security concerns are so great that non-Israeli employees hired by the builder can come only from “the US, Canada, Western Europe countries, Poland, Moldavia, Thailand, Philippines, Venezuela, Romania and China.
