The customer service area will consist of an AAFES concession area, and two latrines; one male and one female in their original location will be combined into one female latrine, whereas the male latrine will be relocated across the hall. The plumbing in the back area, the satellite pharmacy, back mechanical room, partition with subdivision between the mechanical and adjacent room are identified to be demolished. Existing exterior exit doors are to remain and an additional door is to be added as identified in the drawings. New windows identified in the drawings are to increase natural lighting. The solar panels/tubes identified in the drawings are intended as reference only, and will be included in the roof portion under a separate contract.

4. The larger freezer, all coolers, adjustable end door with upper mover adjacent to the door is to be removed. Side overhead doors will be replaced. Directorate of Public Works (DPW) will attend to all interior drainage areas. The existing fire door in the mechanical room will remain.

In the south portion of the building the sloped concrete floors are necessary to level. The outer ramp with door will be exchanged with double doors, and the ground door on the floor leading to a crawl space will be removed. The freezer on the back area will be removed.

6. Mr. Schloss stated the parking lot directly west of the construction is available to the contractor, whereas the parking on the north end shall remain unobstructed by the contractor since the Central Issue Facility (CIF) will maintain daily operations throughout the construction period.
