Dave not if you have an air floor. All of my bins do. The air floor is bolted about 12-18 inches above the bottom of the first side sheet of the bin. The auger goes under the air floor and has a hopper up through the air floor. Look at the picture and you can see how they are done. The sweep auger can be of two types some of the more modern one stay in the bin until you have it emptied down to the cone. All of mine the sweep auger comes out and is installed after you have the grain down to the cone.
If you do not have a full air floor then the unloading auger can be in the base concrete. I do not like those type of bins you just about always have spoilage against the concrete. Even the ones with air troughs in the floor still have spoilage.
It sounds like you want to be able to dry corn in the bin. So you will want a full air floor. Whether you have a fan with heat or not you still want a full air floor.
Second picture shows an air floor part way installed. There are many types of floor supports. The one in the picture has straight runs. I have never seen those type in person. The older bins used concrete blocks stacks. The newer bins use a steel stamped floor brace that are set in alternating rows under the air floor ( 3rd pic).
