    Industry Day Project Info Read Ahead.pptx
    The document outlines the SAOC Programmatic Requirements for Offutt Air Force Base, detailing five key beddown projects. The primary focus is on the construction of a ~280,000 square foot 2-Bay Maintenance Hangar for Boeing 747-8i aircraft maintenance, including administrative, operations, and maintenance support spaces, with a portion designated as secure. Concurrently, the project involves expanding the existing Echo Apron Parking with Ramps and Taxiways to accommodate seven Boeing 747-8i parking positions, four of which will have active utilities for alert missions. This expansion requires demolition of part of the existing apron and Building 565, along with the extension of the parallel taxiway, new connector to Runway 13/31, restricted area fencing, and associated site work. Other listed projects include an Operations & Training Facility (~130,000 GSF), a 1-Bay Wash / Fuel Cell Hangar (~140,000 GSF), and a Supply Storage Facility (~95,000 GSF). The document concludes with a question for industry regarding the approximate cost and duration for constructing the 2-Bay Maintenance Hangar with Ramps and Taxiways under a single contract.
