10. Description of Proposed Construction: Construct a physical fitness center to include multi-purpose court, three
racquetball courts, indoor running track mezzanine, aerobics room, weight training area, administrative and storage
space, and locker and shower facilities. Work includes site improvements such as driveways, sidewalks, landscaping
and site utilities. Anti-terrorism protective measures and access for the handicapped will be provided.
11. REQUIREMENT: 2,695 square meters (m2) ADEQUATE: 0 m2 SUBSTANDARD: 3,135 m2

PROJECT: Construct a new physical fitness center. (C)

REQUIREMENT: There is a need to relocate the existing fitness center, located in a converted World War II
warehouse, so this 26,734 m2 (287,763 square-foot) building may be vacated and demolished by separate action to
reduce DoD facilities infrastructure. The relocation of this function and subsequent demolition of unneeded
warehouses are part of the installation master plan, driven by a reduction of depot operations and transformation of the
installation to a mostly administrative complex. Consequently, 95 percent of the installation's population has moved
over the past five years to administrative facilities more than a mile away from the current fitness center. In addition,
as part of this plan, an inefficient central heat plant serving warehouses at the depot is scheduled for demolition in
FY 2004. When this occurs, the center would need to install an expensive individual heating system in the existing
fitness facility to keep it in operation. This facility serves more than 8,000 military personnel, dependents, and
government civilians at this location. The proposed center will be constructed across the street from two recently built
administrative buildings providing more than one million square feet of office space.

CURRENT SITUATION: DSCC currently uses 3,135 m2(33,746 SF) of a converted warehouse, constructed in 1942, to house its physical fitness center. As the only remaining occupant in this mostly vacant building, the center is expensive to maintain and no longer situated to conveniently support the personnel who use it. Conversion of this part of the warehouse began over 20 years ago. As a result, electrical power, ventilation, plumbing, and fire protection systems are aging and more costly to maintain. In addition, the facility is not accessible to the physically handicapped.

IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: If this project is not provided, DSCC will be forced to sustain its fitness center in a vacant building for which it has no other use and at a location that detracts from the quality work environment at this installation. Aging building systems will continue to be costly to maintain, and additional funds for a new heating system and personnel accessibility will be spent on a marginal facility.

ADDITIONAL: This project meets all applicable DoD criteria. The Director, Defense Logistics Agency certifies that this facility is suitable for joint use by other components.

B. Equipment associated with this project that will be provided from other appropriations:
None

The Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) organizes, directs, and accomplishes the management of supplies in assigned Federal groups and provides supply support of decentralized and non-cataloged items to the U.S. and European areas. DSCR also supports tenant activities on the installation including the DLA Defense Distribution Depot Richmond (DDRV).

Deferred sustainment, restoration, and modernization at this location is $10.2 million through FY 2005.

10. Description of Proposed Construction: Renovate a headquarters operations center to provide handicapped accessibility to the entire building and install essential life safety and fire protection systems. Work includes the demolition of the interior of the facility and removal of asbestos materials and lead-based paint. Install new electrical, plumbing, and telecommunications systems; fire protection; HVAC systems; and interior finishes. Provide exterior ramps and elevator for accessibility.

PROJECT: Renovate a command headquarters operation center (C)

REQUIREMENT: There is a need to modernize the DSCR headquarters operations building to comply with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other life safety, fire protection, and operational standards. CURRENT SITUATION: The existing building lacks fire protection systems and accessibility for the handicapped. The facility is the original and only administrative building constructed when the installation opened in 1942 as the U.S. Army Richmond Quartermaster Depot. Last renovated in 1963, interio: plumbing and other utility systems are antiquated, and in some cases, obsolete. HVAC systems are outdated and inefficient, causing continual maintenance problems due to their age and condition. Restrooms lack adequate ventilation and accessibility. Interior partitions and floor layouts of this three-story structure prevent efficient utilization of available space.

IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: If this project is not provided, personnel will continue to work in substandard facilities with inadequate ventilation and fire protection systems. Barriers to handicapped personnel will prevent direct access to the commander and the Center's primary conference facilities. Full utilization of the building will not be achieved due to inefficient building layout and utilities systems. Sustainment costs will continue to increase to repair antiquated HVAC and electrical systems.

ADDITIONAL: Because of state and local interest in this structure for historical preservation, renovation of the existing facility is the only practical alternative. This project meets all applicable DoD criteria. The Director, Defense Logistics Agency certifies that this facility is suitable for joint use by other components.
