PROJECT: Construct a standard-design barracks complex. (Current Mission) REQUIREMENT: This project is required to provide living and working conditions for soldiers that meet current standards. The maximum barracks utilization is 336 soldiers. CURRENT SITUATION: Modernization of existing barracks has reduced their capacity, which has created a need for a new barracks. The existing operational and administrative facilities are too small and have inefficient layouts. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: If this project is not provided, soldiers will continue to live and work in substandard and deteriorated facilities, which will adversely impact morale, retention, and readiness. ADDITIONAL: This project has been coordinated with the installation physical security plan, and all required physical security measures are included. All required anti-terrorism/force protection measures are included. An economic analysis has been prepared and utilized in evaluating this project, the result of which is that of the two feasible options, renovation of existing facilities or construction of new facilities, new construction would be less expensive over the life of the project. Sustainable principles will be integrated into the design, development, and construction of the project in accordance with Executive Order 13123 and other applicable laws and Executive Orders. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations and Housing) certifies that this project has been considered for joint use potential. The facility will be available for use by other components. During the past two years, about $7M has been spent on sustainment, restoration, and modernization (SRM) of unaccompanied enlisted personnel housing at Fort Stewart, GA. Upon completion of this multi-phased project, and other projects approved or budgeted through FY 2005, there will be no remaining unaccompanied enlisted permanent party deficit at this installation. A parametric cost estimate based upon project engineering design was used to develop this budget estimate. (2) (3) (e) 5.
