10.Mission or Major Functions: Maintain and operate facilities and provide services and materials to support operations of Aviation activities and units of the Naval Training Command, three jet training squadrons, and Naval Technical Training Center. DD FORM 1390 PREVIOUS EDITIONS MAY BE USED INTERNALLY PAGE NO. 10. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION Multi-family, duplex or single-family housing units; wood or metal frame, masonry with stucco or vinyl siding, garage or covered parking, covered patios, privacy fencing, exterior storage and community recreational facilities. Price includes costs for sprinkler system and fire rated construction. Special construction feature exists for hurricane wind bracing. Demolition includes removal of asbestos. Actual square footage of these homes will be based on local market standards and may exceed square footage indicated below. PROJECT: This project replaces 56 enlisted and officer Capehart homes located in the Juniper Ridge and Pine Crest neighborhoods at Naval Air Station Meridian. (Current Mission) REQUIREMENT: Adequate family housing is needed for married personnel and their families. This project includes community recreational facilities and common open spaces. Community recreational facilities include tot lots, jogging paths, and playing courts/fields in accordance with NAVFACINST 11101.85H. This project is phase 3 of 3 (the first two phases were accomplished as improvement projects). CURRENT SITUATION: These units are two and three bedroom, single story, single family and duplex dwellings built in 1964. All components within the kitchens and bathrooms are deteriorated beyond the point of being economical to repair. The kitchens and bathrooms lack modern amenities. Cabinets, countertops and plumbing fixtures are worn. Floor tiles are discolored, mismatched and becoming brittle, thus further exposing asbestos to the Occupants. The HVAC system is inefficient and beyond the point of economic repair, the present gas system will be replaced with a high-energy efficient total electric HVAC package. Existing ductwork is poorly configured and is not conducive to efficient distribution of heat and air conditioning. The electrical systems are original and do not conform to current electrical code. The sewer system is original with increasing blockages, requiring constant repairs. Due to location extensive termite damage is present. Doors and windows are antiquated and are not energy efficient. The continued presence of asbestos and lead based paint in these units constitutes an unacceptable environmental hazard. Lighting in the rear of the units does not provide adequate security for occupants. Sidewalks and streets throughout the community are deteriorated. Uneven, cracked sidewalks and potholes in the streets are common and pose a safety hazard. The lack of adequate landscaping around homes and in common areas creates an uninviting visual image of the neighborhood. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: These homes will continue to fall short of DOD new construction standards. Operation and maintenance costs will continue to be unacceptably high. Military members will be forced to choose between involuntary separation from their families or accepting housing that is unsuitable. Either choice will likely lead to poor morale and dissatisfaction with the Navy. Retention of quality personnel will be adversely impacted. JOINT USE CERTIFICATION: The Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Logistics) certifies that this project has been considered for joint use potential. This facility will be available for use by other components. Line 12a, column (h). Reflects a loss of 120 units, of the total 146 unit planned divestiture. The total divestiture will result in a military inventory of 366 units. The final divestiture plan will be reviewed and modified based on updated requirements or local market analyses. 10. Mission or Major Functions: Provide housing, training facilities, logistics support, and certain administrative support for Fleet Marine Force units and other units assigned.
