2-5.3.3 Site Engineering. When site utilities are replaced or upgraded as part of a major renovation
project, they should comply with the criteria as stated. New construction performed in connection with
renovation will follow the criteria stated. Renovated construction should also consider requirements for
soil treatment, termite control, decay treatment, contaminated solids, asbestos, lead based paint, and
radon mitigation.
2-5.3.4 Architecture. The goal of the STATEMENT OF WORK as it applies to renovation is to provide a
facility of equal livability to a newly constructed facility. Critical elements of the plan to be considered are
the living space provided per soldier, the fire protection/life safety considerations, the interior finishes,
exterior modifications compatibility with the Installation Design Guide (IDG) recommendations, the
storage space provided per soldier, and the ancillary support facilities for quality of life issues.
2-5.3.4.1 Functionality, Dimensions and Areas. In renovation, functionality goals are of primary
importance, such as not using rooms for circulation paths. Minor deviations in minimum dimensions are
acceptable to accommodate existing walls.
2-5.3.4.2 Life Safety, Fire Protection, and Sound Attenuation. Upgrading facilities to comply with
construction standards for fire protection and sound attenuation is required.
2-5.3.4.3 Finishes. When upgrading units comply with the SOW. Preserve existing good quality finishes,
repairing whenever possible. Give careful consideration to retaining good quality finishes such as brick
facing, slate and tile roofing, hardwood floors, ceramic tile, doors, windows, millwork, and cabinetry.
2-5.3.5 Design - Structural. Comply with the criteria as stated.
2-5.3.6 Design - Thermal Performance. Base thermal performance decisions on life cycle cost analysis
using the information contained in the Statement of Work as a starting point.
2-5.3.7 Design - Plumbing. Comply with the SOW., however, consider retaining existing plumbing
fixtures which can be refinished or are suitable for reuse.
2-5.3.8 Design - Electrical.
Comply with the SOW., however, consider retaining good quality or
distinctive lighting fixtures.
2-5.3.9 Design - Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC).
Comply with the SOW. In
renovation, pay special attention to energy conservation features. Equivalent and innovative approaches
to meeting these criteria are encouraged.
2-5.4 Using the STATEMENT OF WORK for Historic Facilities. Historic facilities should be maintained in
a way which preserves their historic significance, integrity, and military history. Significant materials,
spaces, and features are as follows:
2-5.4.1 Planning and Programming. To preserve historic character, significant interior and exterior
features must be identified and documented prior to programming a project for renovation of historic
facilities. Concerned parties including the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), installation planning
and maintenance staff, design architects and engineers, and facility users should agree on the scope,
intent, and preservation objectives of a proposed project. When agreement cannot be achieved with the
SHPO, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation may be called upon to achieve resolution.
Preserving historic character takes precedence over full compliance with the criteria in the STATEMENT
OF WORK.
2-5.4.2 Life Safety and Fire Protection. Life safety and fire protection requirements will be met to provide
protection to the occupants, the building, and its historic features. Protection will by accomplished by
means which are unobtrusive and do not degrade the historic features of the building.
