P683 Aircraft Engine Repair Facility, NAS Jacksonville, FL   3

Background
The project involves the Design Bid Build construction of a new facility and parking structure at Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, Florida. This facility will be utilized for the manufacturing of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) engine and will support operations at the Fleet Readiness Center (FRC).

The project aims to enhance operational capabilities through the establishment of a high bay engine repair facility, which is approximately 300,000 gross-square-feet (GSF), alongside associated support and office areas totaling 20,000 GSF, and a parking structure of 300,000 GSF.

Work Details
The construction tasks include:
- Building an approximately 300,000 GSF one-story high bay engine repair facility with operational areas, maintenance spaces, storage and support spaces, and administrative areas.
- Constructing a two-story support/office area of 20,000 GSF.
- Erecting a steel-framed structure with precast concrete walls and a metal panel system.
- Installing a modified bitumen roof and shallow bearing foundation system.
- Equipping the facility with 29 double-girder bridge dual hoist cranes (eleven 4.5-ton and eighteen 2-ton), crane rails, an automated vertical storage system, and a passenger elevator.
- Developing two surface parking lots: one temporary gravel lot (1.34 acres with 150 spaces) and one asphalt paved lot (3.24 acres with 288 spaces).
- Implementing intersection improvements at Ranger and Birmingham streets.
- Demolishing two existing administration buildings (approximately 19,000 SF each) along with a covered walkway as part of the project scope.

Place of Performance

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity for the P683 aircraft engine repair facility at NAS Jacksonville appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract history, with Michael Baker International identified on multiple related awards. Michael Baker International was awarded P683 FDA additional work (including electrification and SUE quality level A survey tasks) valued at $18,788,313 (06/06/24–02/28/27) and also received a smaller “P683 MILCON PDA” award valued at $1,184,698 (04/26/23–06/30/25). These prior efforts appear to align with the current facility scope by supporting design/preconstruction activities for the same P683 engine repair facility, suggesting continuity in planning and technical preparation.
