Options will be included in the contract for concept and final design of approved repairs. Design of this project will include all surveys, studies, and site investigations (including selective demolition), preparation of technical specifications, design analysis, contract drawings and detailed construction cost estimate to support this project. A firm fixed price contract will be negotiated. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in February 1996 and completed by June 1997. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: This project consists of the detailed survey of family housing units in Ottawa and Osage Villages at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for construction and design deficiencies. The family housing units in Ottawa and Osage Villages are a mix of single and two story duplexes and three- and four-plexes. Construction was completed in 1991. The AE will document the extent and nature of the deficiencies along with proposed corrective measures and Code A estimates for the repairs. The AE will conduct a code analysis of the design to determine if there are any code violations; the AE will also be responsible for reviewing the government requirements stated in the original request for proposal for the project to compare them to the constructed facilities. The survey will require the AE to do detailed examinations of all crawl spaces and attics in addition to more accessible areas of the units. The units will be occupied during the survey and the AE will be responsible for coordinating access and schedule requirements with occupants. Selective destructive testing to determine root causes of identified problems will be done. The AE will be responsible for fixing holes caused by destructive testing. Some of the problems identified to date that the AE will be expected to investigate are: siding color degradation and potential brittleness; painting of exterior wood components; inadequate ventilation in crawl spaces; inappropriate maerials used for subfloors and underlayments; excessive water in crawl spaces; review of miscellaneous structural details (floor joists, slope problems on second floors, roof sheathing nailing, foundation settlement, truss inspection, sill plate anchors, etc.); inappropriate materials and/or construction techniques used for cabinets, lights, shelves, hand rails, etc.; exterior grading at each unit and general site grading for the housing areas; retaining wall stability design and washout problems, settlement of stoops, sidewalks and patios; return air plenums for furnaces; condensate line location; dryer vent lengths and other miscellaneous architectural, structural, civil, mechanical and electrical issues.
