This market survey is being posted for the D/B of the F-35 Munitions Storage Facilities, Tyndall AFB, Florida (Bay County).

Description of Work:

As a result of the new F-35 mission at Tyndall AFB, FL, new facilities will be required to support munitions maintenance, storage and delivery. The existing Trailer Maintenance Facility requires an addition in order to maintain up to 100 additional pieces of trailer equipment as well as an administrative and maintenance bay addition totaling 1,500 SF and a concrete pad.

In addition to the above, the F-35 mission requires construction of four igloos; new Admin w/ parking; aircraft support equipment storage facility; aircraft support equipment yard and a missile assembly shop for the F-35 mission. This project includes additions to building 7026 (4,800 SF), building 7020 (6,00 SF), building 7025 (2,640 SF) and building 7028 (7,172SF) and the construction of a new Munitions Assemble Conveyor pad facility.

The existing Munitions Assembly Conveyer (MAC) pad was damaged and the adjacent sunshade was destroyed. The pad and sunshade are required for munitions assembly.

A 1,667 SY asphalt parking lot adjacent to the existing lot is required to accommodate up to 40 cars. This lot should provide striping, curbing, drainage, and lighting.
