DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

Scope of Work

Construct a New Maintenance Facility adjacent to an existing maintenance facility building (designated as SF-21), to provide additional enclosed vehicle and equipment storage. The proposed building addition will be located a 15-foot distance (from the South Elevation) of the existing metal building. Both existing and new are located within the specified area, identified as the South Florida Operations Office (SFOO). The project construction is located at the existing maintenance yard (North end of the SFOO property and adjacent the Lake Okeechobee waterway and the S-310 Boat Lock and Canal). The New Maintenance Facility will be a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) and will contain the following features:

• A 60-foot x 120-foot concrete slab-on-grade (to support the PEMB)


• A 9-foot - 4-inch x 9-foot - 4-inch concrete slab-on grade (to support a riser room) attached to the PEMB at the SW corner.


• The PEMB will be 60 feet wide x 120 feet long x 25 feet – 7 inches height


• Gable-type roof with continuous linear ridge vent, 12 skylights and 4 roof-top exhaust fans


• Continuous gutters and downspouts (on east and west ends)


• Twelve roll-up doors and four personnel doors


• Fire-sprinkler system with free-standing pump enclosure/skid equipment (adjacent to the canal)


• Utility connections to support water, electric, and mechanical systems


• One electric water cooler and one eye-wash station


• Interior high-bay lighting and wall-mounted exterior lighting


• Two high-volume, low-speed overhead fans


• Concrete bollards (exterior locations)

Optional Item (features);

• Wash-bay system (single interior bay wide) located at North end of proposed facility.

Basis of Design

The design is based on the characteristics of the existing maintenance facility, building identification SF-21. The new facility is based on and matches the existing PEMB construction. The size of the new facility addition matches closely to the existing dimensions of 60 feet by 140 feet. When completed, the SFOO will have an approximately 15,600 gross square feet of enclosed storage space for their current and future maintenance equipment and heavy-duty construction vehicles.

USACE did not conduct a formal risk assessment for this project due to the low risk of any significant monetary lost or threat to human life from a project failure. After discussing the project purpose and scope of work with the Jacksonville District Risk Chief, the decision to forgo a formal risk assessment was deemed to be reasonable given the fact project structures and features will function and provide the same level of protection as the existing structures and features provide. The project does not introduce any additional potential risk of project failure that would pose a significant threat to human life.
