10. Mission or Major Functions: Maintain and operate facilities and provide services and materials to support the operations of the Marine Aircraft Wing, or units thereof, and other activities and units designated by the Commandant of the Marine Corps in coordination with the Chief of Naval Operations. DD FORM 1390 PREVIOUS EDITIONS MAY BE USED INTERNALLY PAGE NO. 10. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION Multi-family housing units; wood or metal frame or masonry with stucco or vinyl siding, covered parking, covered patios, privacy fencing, exterior storage and recreational facilities. Fire sprinkler system is included in unit price. Other special construction feature exits for hurricane wind bracing. Land Purchase of 52.77 Acres. This project eliminates 339 of 2,319 total inadequate units at MCAS Cherry Point. PROJECT: This project demolishes 339 homes in Slocum Village and constructs 339 replacement homes on a new site for junior non-commissioned officer families attached to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC. DD FORM 1391 PREVIOUS EDITIONS MAY BE USED INTERNALLY PAGE NO. REQUIREMENT: Adequate family housing is needed for married personnel and their families. This is the second of three phases to replace 775 homes in the Slocum Village housing area. The economic analysis recommends replacement as the proper course of action as it corrects current deficiencies and provides modernized, energy efficient homes. This project includes community recreational facilities, and expanded common open spaces. Recreational facilities include tot lots, jogging paths, and playing courts/fields in accordance with MIL-HDBK-1035. CURRENT SITUATION: These units were constructed in 1952. These units do not meet new military housing standards. Deficiencies associated with the units include the following: lead base paint needs to be abated; units do not contain proper fire deterrent systems; party walls do not have minimum one-hour fire-resistance rating and provide inadequate sound isolation; the electrical systems does not meet current code; HVAC units are 10-15 years old and inefficient; lighting in many of the units is old, inefficient, and does not meet proper illumination levels for a residence; deterioration of weather-stripping and insulation has lead to increased energy consumption; units do not feature modern appliances typically found in new construction, such as garbage disposals or dishwashers; kitchens and baths outdated and poorly configured; second baths not provided in 3-bedroom units and 1⁄2 baths not provided on first floor of some units; and laundry rooms lack interior access or separate laundry rooms are not provided. The sanitary sewer system is pushed to its limits during storms due to inflow and infiltration resulting from open and offset joints. Additionally the sewer lines are often broken and have grease buildup, swags in the lines, and deteriorated and leaking manholes. The water mains are rusted and have large interior nodules. Water system valves will not seal off when closed. Storm drainage system has clogged and broken inlets, broken headwalls, sediment buildup in channels and pipes, and standing water and cannot accommodate runoff from intense/sustained rainfall. Concrete curbs, gutters, storm drains and sidewalks are deteriorated and in poor condition. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Maintenance and utility costs will continue to increase. Lead-based paint and asbestos-containing material will continue to pose a potential health hazard to the residents. Units will have to be taken off-line; resulting in increases to both the housing deficit in the local community and to the cost associated with BAH payments. Military members will be forced to choose between involuntary separations from their families, or accepting housing that is unsuitable. Either choice will likely lead to poor morale and dissatisfaction with the Marine Corps. Retention of quality personnel will be adversely impacted. JOINT USE CERTIFICATION: The Director, Land Use and Military Construction Branch, Installation and Logistics Department, Headquarters, Marine Corps certifies that this project has been considered for joint use potential. These facilities will be available for use by other components. Project design conforms to Part II of Military Handbook 1190, "Facilities Planning and Design Guide."
