REPLACE WALK-IN BLAST BOOTH B794 FRCSE - JACKSONVILLE1) This project will remove, replace, and upgrade three(3) walk-in blast booths and the dust collectors.2) After 15+ years of continuous use, the walk-in blast booths require excessive maintenance and are an environmental hazard/risk due to wear and medialeakage. The booths and collectors must be replaced in order to maintain existing capability and avoid environmental fines.3) Continue to repair the old walk-in blast booths and collectors. This method is becoming less reliable, and more costly. If the equipment cannot be repaired,it will cause a work stoppage. Contracting out workload at a higher rate can also be considered, but is not a desirable alternative.4) Work stoppages due to these booths and collectors can seriously affect engine and other critical component schedules and could cause the grounding ofaircraft.5) Not Applicable.REPLACE 94400 BOOST COMPRESSOR FRCE - CHERRY POINT1) This project will replace one 850 psig compressor with a new one before a work stoppage occurs.2) The current compressor is performing erratically and shows signs of imminent failure. It currently requires an excessive amount of downtime and money tokeep operable.3) Continue to try extending the life of the unit which is not economically viable.4) The current 850 pounds per square inch guage (psig) boost compressor does not have a back up. Therefore, if the current 850 psig boost compressor goesdown, testing of the hot air valves comes to an abrupt stopping point. F-18 and several other aircraft would be negatively impacted by the compressor failure.5) Not ApplicableREPLACE TRUMPH PUNCH PRESS FRCE - CHERRY POINT1) This project will replace the inoperable Trumph Punch Press with a new one.2) The existing punch press is inoperable and is causing undo strain on other support equipment as the workload has been shifted. The addition of anoperating punch press will allow the workload to be shifted back to this machine and reduce man hours needed to process the workload.3) Continue to run the workload on the current machine causing undo strain on the equipment and employees.4) If not acquired, the FRC will continue to be at high risk for a critical work stoppage since the existing Trumph is inoperable and the existing Strippit is asingle point failure for specific types of template workload.5) Not Applicable- Continued on Next PageExhibit Fund-9BCapital Purchase Justification
