Existing storefront openings, entries, and windows are to be replaced. The additions will match the existing building and consist of insulated metal panel above a concrete masonry and brick wall base. The hangar bay work will be completed in two phases. The first phase will renovate the east bay while maintaining operability of the west bay, with the second phase renovating the west bay after the east bay is operational. The hangar floor will require a new epoxy floor system. New door fabric and electrical service and controls upgrades for the hangar doors are included to allow for door operation by emergency generator as well as fire department operation by key on the outside of the building. New fall protection systems will be provided over the aircraft locations in each bay

The exterior work for this project will include the demolition of the existing concrete containment area, Jet Fuel JP-8 equipment, landscape, asphalt and concrete pavement, and utilities, including sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer, and electrical equipment.

Utility improvements include relocated sanitary sewer lines, relocated storm sewer mains, and a new fire protection water main line. A new oil-water separator will replace the existing system located near the northeast corner of the existing system. A new 54 ft tall/300,000-gallon prefabricated steel water storage tank and a pumping station will be built to supply water for fire suppression to future renovated and constructed Hangars 3, 4, and 5 and Building 154. The new pumping station will provide a new 10-inch water distribution loop to the new water-based fire suppression systems and fire sprinkler systems in each of the hangars H154, H3, H4 and H5.
