THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDES THE REPAIR OF EAST WALL AND REPLACMENT OF WINDOWS in B822. A facility of adequate size and configuration is necessary for the Aircraft Maintenance Squadron to perform administrative functions for maintenance documentation and training of Airmen. Principal features of the work; make wall repairs and replace eight windows, repair portions of drywall (walls and ceiling) and paint as indicated in the specifications and drawings. This general outline of the principal features does not in any way limit the responsibility of the Contractor to perform all work required by the plans and specifications.
