2. PROJECT SPECIFIC INFORMATION: The Renovate AFLCMC Admin Facility 20016 project will modernize a building originally built in 1927 and modified in 1934 and 1939 to provide a basement under the entire facility. A renovation was completed in 1981 but did not address utility infrastructure. No comprehensive renovation has occurred since 1981 however random piecemeal renovations, reconfigurations and repair have been completed. The intent of this project is to bring the building into compliance with current building codes and life safety codes to include fire detection, alarm and suppression, egress requirements, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), Anti-Terrorism and Force Protection (AT/FP), Seismic and Progressive Collapse. The renovated building will also need to be energy and spatially efficient. The building is approximately 231,635 Square Feet (SF), basement and first floor, to include office/administration and secure space. Work will address exterior repairs to the building envelope including windows, roof and exterior walls.
Comprehensive interior and exterior renovation and space consolidation of facility 20016 (approximately 231,635 SF total). Work includes demolition, lead and asbestos abatement and other hazardous material mitigation, site restoration, and seismic mitigation. Comply with DoD minimum Antiterrorism Standards for buildings per Unified Facilities Criteria and all applicable Air Force Instructions. Replace facility utility systems (HVAC, plumbing, power, lighting, and communications). Repair exterior, including: replace leaking, energy efficient windows, doors, and clerestory lights with energy-efficient, anti-terrorism/force protection compliant windows and doors, repair exterior finishes, and repair clerestory roofs. Consolidate and renovate building to increase personnel capacity. Remove, relocate, and construct non-loading bearing walls. Install and repair fire detection and suppression systems. Replace interior finishes. Reconfigure and renovate 64,300 SF of secure space in the basement of the facility. Relocate 15,254 SF of Non Appropriate Fund (NAF) and community support activities (Bank, Post Office, Restaurant, AAFES shop) within the building.
This renovation will provide greater efficiency of space increasing the current occupancy of 900 personnel to 1,100 personnel. Efficiencies are gained by the consolidation of HVAC equipment, more efficient design of secure work areas, conversion to office space of areas currently used for storage and commercial tenants (Credit Union). Primary consolidation occurs with a more efficient use of open office space in F/20016 allowing existing secure space to be returned to open office. As part of the domino moves approximately 150 seats in secure space in F/20557 that are occupied by a non-secure use will be consolidated into F/20016 into open space and the secure requirement will be relocated to F/20557 saving AF investment dollars of duplicating secure space requirements. Further consolidation objectives for relocation of AFLCMC Mobility Directorate personnel are achieved with the realignment of 90% of required 1120 seats into two adjacent facilities.
