REVISION 1: 10 AUGUST 2026

1. REQUIREMENT:

a. BACKGROUND: There are a total of seven (7) trash enclosures consisting of 2FT wide

X 2 FT long X 7FT-5IN high brick pillars at the four (4) corners of each enclosure and steel fencing panels spanning between the pillars. Two dumpster enclosures on Base are damaged. The enclosure near the KC-135 static display has a gate panel that has been torqued at the hinge connection points damaging the hinges and the brick pillar. The rear panels lean into the enclosure area as well. The back panels of the enclosure near Building 5000 are completely detached from it. It appears warping and damage caused by the wind made them inoperable. The connecting hardware between the side walls and gate panels is in poor condition and needs to be replaced as well.

b. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this project is to restore structural integrity, safety, and visual aesthetics to various dumpster enclosures on base. Key objectives include:

i. Demolishing, clearing, and legally disposing of deteriorated fencing, posts, and damaged concrete/masonry elements.

ii. Extracting obsolete anchor bolts and patching cored/damaged areas of concrete pads.

iii. Realigning and structurally reinforcing the rotated corner brick pillar at the KC-135 enclosure using epoxy-doweled steel reinforcement and solid concrete grout.

iv. Remove spalling brick facades and pillar caps on all eight (8) of the corner pillars of the two (2) trash enclosures. Place new brick façade and caps on each of the pillars.

v. Constructing two (2) solid CMU walls with decorative brick cladding and precast concrete coping at the Building 5000 enclosure and at the KC-135 static display enclosure.

c. PROJECT LOCATION: All work will be at the 126th Air Refueling Wing, Scott AFB, Illinois.
