HEADQUARTERS OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE
AND ENGINEERING DIVISION, OL
WEEKLY REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING 8 AUGUST 1984
1. Progress Report on Tasks Assigned by DCI/DDCI:
No tasks assigned during this reporting period.
II. Items/Events of Major Interest:
a. Quality of Life - Workplace Awareness: The first of
three workplace awareness posters has been printed and was
posted throughout Headquarters Building on 6 August 1984. The
poster alerts employees to a possible cost of $14.06 to the
food service operation for articles removed from the cafeteria
and suggests that disposables be used for takeout meals.
b. VEPCO Substation Failure: On Saturday morning, 4
August 1984, the VEPCO transformer supplying electrical service
to the McLean area failed. The Fairfax County Fire Department
was summoned to the area as a precautionary measure. The
damaged transformer was left out of service after the McLean
load was transferred to other transformers in the yard.
VEPCO's corrective action created an unbalanced
condition within our distribution system which required the use
of one of the emergency generators to compensate and prevent a
partial power outage of the powerhouse. The emergency
generator was on line until after 1730 hours on 6 August 1984.
A VEPCO representative advised that the current
situation could last between three and six weeks depending on
the availability of parts to repair the transformer. The
Engineering and Construction Branch, OL/HOME, is studying
alternative solutions to the unbalanced condition which would
not require running a generator continuously during peak demand
hours.
The electrical service to the Headquarters Compound
was not interrupted due to this situation.

c. Hydraulic Barricades: Installation of the second
hydraulic barricade at the Route 123 Entrance to the
Headquarters Compound has begun.
e. Briefing on Intergraph Computer Aided Design and
Drafting System: On 7 August 1984 a member of ADS gave a
briefing on the Intergraph Computer Aided Design and Drafting
System (CADDS) to the Information Management Seminar for MI
careerists in the DDA.
f. Plans - Headquarters Building: Preliminary plans for
the temporary move of the National Intelligence Officers from
Room GH-62 to Room 6C-19 were reviewed by the component and
returned to ADS on 7 August.
Plans to subdivide Rooms 2D04-08 have been approved
by the Offices of Communications and Data Processing.
Preliminary plans for the move of the CAMS
Integration Staff, Intelligence Community Staff, DCI, from Room
SE-47 to GH-62 have been prepared. The component is currently
reviewing the plans, but tentative approval has been given to
the proposed layout.
g. Renovations at Headquarters Building: The Paint Shop
completed painting Room D-5309 for the Office of
Communications (OC) this week, and the Carpenter Shop installed
the baseboard.
The GSA Plumbing Shop worked overtime this past
weekend and completed their portion of the repair and
replacement of valves in the air handler unit in Room GH-24 for
the Office of Current Production and Analytic Support, DDI.
The remaining work by the engineers is 75 percent complete.
The GSA Electric Shop has started the relocation of
critical power in Room GG-10 for the Career Management Staff,
DO. This was necessitated by a change in the primary entrance
to the vault.
A 50 percent on-board review of the design for
renovations in Rooms GE02-GD79 for OSO was held on 2 August
1984. Representatives from OSO, OC, the Safety Staff, OL/HOME,

the Architect-Engineer, and Nash Love and Associates, Inc.,
were in attendance. The design is scheduled for completion by
the end of August to allow E$CB to award a construction
contract by 1 October 1984 in order that OSO may obligate FY-84
funds.
The contractor has started demolition in vacant
areas of the SE Corridor. Final drawings and specifications
for renovations were delivered to the contractor on 31 July
1984 for a cost proposal.
h. Emerson 60Hz UPS: Module No. 5 of the Emerson UPS,
which was shut down on Saturday, 28 June 1984, to protect the
system from over-voltage, was repaired and brought back on line
on 1 August 1984. The malfunction of the module was found to
have been caused by a foreign object at the base of a control
card which was creating an intermittent loss of control.
i. APARS Feeder Modifications: Electric Service
Company, the construction contractor, completed the
installation of the conduit runs to the fifth floor. A partial
power outage had been scheduled for each APARS station to allow
for final hookup. Outages have been scheduled as follows:
Room 2D39, Wednesday, 8 August, between 1030 hours and 1400
hours; Room 5D09, Thursday, 9 August, between 1030 hours and
1500 hours; and Friday, 10 August, between 1030 hours and 1500
hours.
j. P&P Laserite, Gym HVAC, and ODP Renovations: The
construction contract for the installation of the Laserite
Printer in the Printing and Photography Building, the computer
interfacing between Rooms GC03 and GE40, and the air handler
installation in the Gym was awarded to BCM Corporation. The
preconstruction meeting has been scheduled for 15 August 1984.
k. Headquarters Overhead Lighting Surveys and
Reactivation: From 1 May 1984 to the present, 41 lighting
surveys have been conducted by E&CB. As a result, 183 overhead
lighting fixtures in office areas throughout the building have
been repaired and reactivated. At present, approximately 25
fixtures remain to be repaired and reactivated. This effort
has enabled E&CB to catch up on the backlog of existing work
orders requesting this service.
The existing overhead lighting diffusers in the DDA
offices and reception area in 7D24 have been converted to a
lightweight styrene diffuser, with good results. Overall
lighting was increased by over 40 percent by the new diffusers
and the installation of new energy-efficient type fluorescent
tubes. These lightweight styrene diffusers are part of a
lighting experiment being conducted by E&CB in conjunction with
improving lighting levels in the Headquarters Building.

1. Backdraft Damper Replacement: A study by E$CB
revealed the existing backdraft dampers in the return air
plenums in the North and South Penthouse Fan Room were
operating incorrectly, which resulted in reduced air flows
throughout the second through seventh floors of the
Headquarters Building. A corrective design was completed, and
a contract was awarded to Dixie Sheet Metal Works, Inc., on 20
July 1984 for $7,128.00. Work is scheduled for completion by
the end of September 1984.
M. Chilled Motor Failure: The Number Four Chiller
Motor, rated horsepower, 4.16 KV synchronous, experienced
a field failure on 24 July 1984. The motor was disassembled
and the rotor removed to Central Armature Works for the
rewinding of all six shunt field coils. Repair is expected to
require four to five weeks.
n. Contracts Staff: Since 1 April 1984, the new
Contracts Staff has awarded 17 contracts and has four contracts
on the street for proposals and five contracts in process, for
a total dollar value of $3,244,924.79.
III. Significant Events Anticipated During the Coming Weeks:
a. Transformer Relocation: Work has started on the
relocation of our 1 transformer rated 3,750 KVA-13.2/4.16 KV.
When the preliminary work is accomplished and all major
material is onsite, the transformer will be deenergized and
moved. During this transition, we will operate a generator
throughout the high load period each day to augment the
remaining duplicate #2 transformer. This is planned to be for
a four-week period, starting 13 August 1984.
b. Headquarters Compound Domestic Water Test: A
waterflow test on the un ergroun omestic water lines on the
Headquarters Compound to check their adequacy for fire
protection is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, 22 August
1984. Representatives from Smith, Hinchmann $ Grylls
Associates, Inc., will conduct the test under a contract with
E$CB. Safety Staff, E&CB, and GSA personnel will assist with
the test.
A similar test was conducted earlier this year and
the conclusion drawn that the domestic water lines were
deficient in allowing for adequate fire protection due to
partial reduction in pipe diameter as a result of scale
buildup. It was decided to conduct a second confirming test
prior to undertaking any expensive corrective actions.
The test will run from approximately 0900 hours
through 1600 hours. It is anticipated that all water flow to

the site will have to be shut off for several 5-minute
intervals during the day. Discoloration of the water will also
probably result from these tests.
