Annex B, AEI for BUP
First Edition
removed for the sole purpose of increasing existing insulation thicknesses.
(6) Concealed Piping and Duct Work. All insulated and uninsulated piping and duct work
in habitable areas, such as living/sleeping rooms, bathrooms and central toilet facilities, corridors,
and lobbies will be concealed. Insulated piping in laundry rooms and janitor's closets will be
protected from damage with a metal cover or other appropriate means.
(7) Bathroom Fixtures. Chapter 15, table 15-4, AEI, Design Criteria with the appropriate
footnotes provides criteria and guidance for bathroom fixture requirements in BUP buildings to be
upgraded.
b. Furniture and Furnishings. Furniture and Furnishings are not part of the FY97 BUP.
However, geographic districts will include a contract option in FY98 and out year contracts to
permit the construction contractor to install furniture and furnishings for barracks upgrade under
the BUP. Furniture and furnishings packages for BUP projects will be centrally procured and
managed by OACSIM (reference CEMP-EA/DAIM-FDH Acquisition Plan for Unaccompanied
Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH) Furniture and Furnishing, dated 28 April 1994).
c. Structural.
(1) Seismic Safety Rehabilitation Guidance. Seismic upgrade for barracks in Zones 2A,
2B, 3, and 4 will be part of this program for buildings that have been identified under the Army's
Seismic Risk Reduction Program as having seismic deficiency.
(a) Under the Army's Seismic Risk Mitigation Program (SRMP), the Seismic
Technical Center of Expertise (STCX) in the North Pacific Division is currently screening and
evaluating the Army's buildings throughout the country. Prior to doing barracks evaluation under
BUP, the STCX shall be contacted to determine the status of the screening and evaluation. If the
barracks in question have already been evaluated under the SRMP, reports describing their ability
to survive a seismic event will be furnished. The geographic district will use the results of this
evaluation to perform design for the seismic upgrade. If the barracks have not been evaluated, the
STCX will give the scheduled time for their evaluation. If the scheduled evaluation is not timely
to suit the BUP schedule, the barracks upgrade shall proceed without the seismic upgrade
provisions. If the building has been found to be seismically deficient under an independent
evaluation by the district or the installation, the geographic district must perform design retrofit
for inclusion into the contract plans and specifications.
(b) The results of SRMP, to date, indicate that the LBC&W barrack types meet the
requirements for Zones 1 and 2A with no structural upgrade. The LBC&W barrack types do not
meet the requirements for Zones 2B and 3 and will require structural modification. Seattle
