Additionally, a new Ordnance Operations building and a new Sentry building will be constructed. Extensive site preparation, including clearing, excavation, grading, and fill, is required, with potential wetland mitigation. The scope also includes the demolition of 18 existing magazines, Building 524, and Building 393.
Contract Details & Timeline
