SUBJHCT: Request for Approval to Implement the
FY-1983 Engineering Support Program
1. This memorandum requests approval to implement the
FY-1983 Engineering Support Program included in the Real
Estate and Construction Division portion of the Office of
Logistics' budget.
2. The one-time projects scheduled for FY-1983 are
as follows:
a. Install Two Electrical Feeders, Headquarter, -
The purpose of this project is to install two
power feeders between the headquarters Building and
the Powerplant. Presently the Headquarters Building
is served via a southern route by four feeders of
which two are required under normal conditions. I-low-
ever, all four feeders have some common features such
as manholes where a dynamic failure of one feeder
could adversely affect all four. It is a long-range
goal to provide a duplicate set of four feeders vig
the northern route to provide the capability of primary
and redundant service by both routes.
The feeders covered by this project would serve
as two of the four northern feeders. Estimated cost
is $69PK.
b. Replace/install. isolation Valves, Headquarters -
The General Services Administration (GSA) has con-
tracted to construct a new set of utility lines between
the Headquarters Building and the Powerplant via a
northern route. At the time that the new chilled water
lines that are part of this project are connected to
the existing system, a chilled water outage and a
draining of the system will be required. The extent of

this draining and refilling would he reduced signifi-
cantly if the present isolation valves functioned.
These valves are presently in various stages of poor
repair. These valves will become even more important
after the new chilled water lines are connected, for
without them there can be no isolation of the old
chilled water lines and, therefore, no independent or
redundant chilled water operation of the Headquarters
Building via the northern route.
It is intended to add these valve requirements to
the existing GSA contract via a change order. Estimated
cost is $85K.
c. Transformer Vault, Headquarters -
This project, which is presently under design by
GSA using prior year funds, involves the construction
of space to house a new transformer facility and to
house a new Uninterruptable Power System (UPS). In
addition, this project includes the electrical equip-
ment for the transformer facility.
The project will be used to support both communi-
cation upgrades and computer facilities. The future
UPS is planned for FY-84 and is scheduled to be on-line
in sufficient time to meet OC's requirements and to
take over from the existing UPS in GJ-16 which is
heavily loaded and will reach its ten year forecast
lifetime in the mid-80's.
This new facility is tentatively planned for the
southwest area of the Headquarters Building. Estimated
cost is $1,200K.
d. Vacuum Pumps, Printing and Photography Building -
The purpose of this project is to install a central.
vacuum pumping system in a location remote from those
areas of the building constantly occupied by personnel.
The noise of the vacuum pumps has been determined to
have contributed to or caused hearing loss to some
employees.
A second feature of this project is to provide 480
volt electrical power service in the Printing and
Photography Building. This service would allow equipment

with standard 480 volt requirements to he installed
without modification to the lower 208 volts and it
will provide the flexibility to install equipment
with greater overall economy. The existing 2:}8 volt
switchgear is nearing saturation and additional switch-
gear would he required to provide support. Estimated
cost is $350K.
e. Depot Study -
The purpose of this Projelt is to initiate a study
of the existing to examine the facility's STAT
ability to handle the Agency's present and foreseeable
needs and recommend upgrades, changes or relocation.
Estimated cost is $100K.
f. Chilled Water Risers, Headquarters -
This project involves the construction of chilled
water risers in the Headquarters Building by removing
the unused vertical conveyors in C and F Corridors and
constructing the risers in the some space. The risers
would provide a substantial increase in chilled water
capacity for future cooling requirements of minicom-
puters, large word processing systems, and similar high
heat producers.
This project would also include the replacement of
a set of 14-inch chilled water pipes with a set of 20-
inch lines in the basement to provide enhanced services
between the north and south halves of the building.
This replacement work can only he done after the north
riser has been completed to preclude a three-month
chilled water outage to the north end of the building.
Estimated cost is $650K.
g. Computer Assisted Design System, Headquarters -
The purpose of this project is to provide a Computer
Assisted Design System to support the requirements of
the Building Planning Staff and the Logistics Services
and Real Estate and Construction Divisions. The equip-
ment and software will be acquired by a lease-purchase
arrangement to allow the flexibility of meeting changing
schedules and programs. Estimated cost is $1901.
3. The recurring activities scheduled for FY-1983 are as
follows:

Engineering Support Program
a. Special Utilities for Agency Buildings in the
Washington, D.C. Area -
This activity involves reimbursement to the
General Services Administration (GSA) for utilities
and maintenance services not covered by the Standard
Level User Charge (SLUG) at the Agency's buildings
in the metropolitan area. It includes reimbursement
to GSA for emergency generator fuel and operators,
maintenance of the DCI elevator and preventive mainte-
nance to special systems. It includes contracts to
maintain the Uninterruptable Power Systems at Head-
quarters. Estimated cost is $2,360K.
b. Minor Projects -
This activity consists of the many tasks of a
generally non-recurring nature with a rather small
individual cost. These tasks involve GSA work orders,
equipment purchases, consultants, Architect-Engineer
services and direct contracts for construction support.
Estimated cost is $810K.
4. It is recommended that approval for record be given
to implement the projects and requirements as described above.
