All the Packages associated with fielding new F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft are as follows. This construction contract requires completion of construction for some (but not all) of these Packages.

Package 1A - Base Infrastructure Package 1B - Base Electrical and Telecommunications Infrastructure Package 2 - Quick Reaction Area (QRA) and Combat Aircraft Loading Area

(CALA)

Package 3 - General Purpose Warehouse Package 4 - Parking Apron and Aircraft Parking Shelters (THIS PROJECT) Package 5 - Organizational Level Maintenance Hangar (with Corrosion Control Hangar) Package 6 - Aircrew Training Facility Package 7 - Intermediate Level Engine Shop Package 8 - Intermediate Level Airframes Shop Package 9 - Squadron Operations Facility

1.3 OCCUPANCY OF PREMISES

Adjacent buildings will be occupied during performance of work under this Contract.

Before work is started, arrange with the Contracting Officer a sequence of procedure, means of access, space for storage of materials and equipment, SECTION 01 11 00 Page 2 and use of approaches, corridors, and stairways.
