The scope of work with relation to the limited sources includes the construction of a new 19,000 square foot F-35 Simulator Facility as well as construction of a 39,000 sf Supply facility. The Simulator Facility includes a large Secure Access Program Facility (SAPF) with multiple Compartmentalized Areas (SAPCA) and the Supply facility includes a smaller SAPF footprint. The SAPF areas in each facility are required to be constructed to the Intelligence Community Directive No. 705 (ICD-705) including STC rated construction, access control systems, and intrusion detection systems. This construction requires tests/inspections conducted by the Air Force that have to be passed before the facility is authorized to use.

The Simulator facility and the Supply Building have associated Fire Alarm systems that are required to be included in the project in order to be able to communicate with the existing fire alarms system equipment located in the on base Fire Department.
