The 628th Contracting Squadron at Joint Base Charleston, SC is seeking capabilities packages from potential sources for planning purposes for the Repair Flight Simulator Facility, B108, at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina.

The scope of this project is to make mechanical HVAC repairs to existing systems and architectural repairs both interior and exterior to existing Building 108 at Joint Base Charleston (JBC). Building 108 is a fully operational C-17 Flight Simulator Facility central to the ongoing mission at JBC. The existing facility has four (4) active full motion flight simulators along with administrative areas all focused on C-17 training. The building has had numerous additions over time with the original facility built sometime in the mid-1980. This project is to provide HVAC repairs and modifications to meet the strict climate control criteria needed for the simulator operations and provide remedy to the existing problem of roof leaks throughout the facility. Also, site work to be completed includes re-grading storm water runoff on the northwest area of the building. A new trench drain system is to be located outside the northwest door to redirect storm water runoff away from the building and encourage sheet flow to existing swales and conduits. The anticipated performance time is 440 calendar days. The breakdown of this time is 45 days for submittals, 365 days for construction and 30 days for closeout documentation.
