P683 AIRCRAFT ENGINE REPAIR FACILITY, NAVAL AIR STATION(NAS), JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

This project is a Design Bid Build construction of a new facility and parking structure at NAS Jacksonville. The facility will be used to manufacture the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) engine. The P683 project consists of a facility design for the Engine Repair Facility located at Naval Air Station (NAS), Jacksonville, Florida and will support the Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) operations. The facility is proposed as an approximately 300,000 gross-square-foot (GSF) one-story high bay engine repair facility with associated 20,000 GSF two-story support/office and administration areas and 300,000 GSF parking structure. It is a steel-framed structure with a combination of precast concrete walls and metal panel system, a modified bitumen roof, and shallow bearing foundation system. The engine repair facility will include operational areas, maintenance spaces, storage and support spaces and administrative areas. It will also include a Loading Area Weather Protection zone along the southern side of the facility. Builtin equipment includes 29 double-girder bridge dual hoist cranes (eleven 4.5-ton and eighteen 2-ton), crane rails, automated vertical storage system, and passenger elevator. This project will also include two surface parking lots, including a 1.34-acre temporary gravel parking lot (150 parking spaces) and 3.24-acre asphalt paved parking lot (288 spaces), and intersection improvements at Ranger and Birmingham. There are two existing administration buildings each approximately 19,000 SF as well as a covered walkway that are scheduled to be demolished as part of this project. Occupants displaced from this demolition will be relocated to the administration extension on the engine repair facility.
