Barracks 249 Repairs @ Ft. Irwin, CA   2

Building 249 is a three story, Enlisted Unoccupied Personnel Housing (EUPH)

barracks facility at Ft. Irwin, CA. The current dwelling unit space configuration is being updated to meet new

Army standards which is mandatory for renovation projects. Two bedrooms sharing one bathroom

(2+1) is the current standard renovation design requirement. Fort Irwin Garrison Command approved

a space model which was provided to USACE by Ft. Irwin's DPW. Additionally, this project

looks to repair failing building system and deteriorated infrastructure in the building. These

repairs are in support of the Garrison Command which provides standardized, effective, and efficient

services, facilities, and infrastructure to the soldiers of the National Training Center and Fort

Irwin California, their families, and civilian support in the execution of the mission. These repairs envision

a model for enhancing safety, well-being, and readiness in the defense of our country. This

project looks to repair and replace deteriorated and failing building systems to include replacement of

all exterior windows, new metal sunshades on the south fa ade, replacement of doors and frames

except grouted door frames, roofing, repairs to existing exterior EIFS wall finish, and provide

a new roof to the existing trellis. Also, this project looks to provide new HVAC and controls,

mechanical/plumbing system, electrical, lighting and lighting controls with replacement systems that are

energy efficient and fire alarm control systems. Interior work includes installing new floor finish,

providing new wall finish, and new ceilings. Several interior walls of the existing dwelling units will

be demolished to accommodate the new 2+1 space configuration. Some of the walls demolished

are load bearing walls, therefore new structural columns and beams will be provided in

conjunction of new metal stud and gypsum wall board walls. This project will bring the facility up to

the current 2+1 Army standard, health safety code and anti-terrorism and force protection

standards.
