Defi nition of Terms

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Accessibility: The degree to which a product, device, service, or environment is available to as many people as possible. Accessibility can be viewed as the "ability to access" and benefit from some system or entity. The Federal Government is required to comply with published law (Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) of 1968 , American Disabilities Act of 1990), regulations and related standards. Accessibility laws and standards have evolved over the past 12 years. DOL now follows ABA Accessibility Standards for Federal Facilities (ABAAS) adopted by the General Services Administration.

Annual Operating Cost: This FRPC performance measure reflects the cost to operate each used asset and consists of lease costs as well as costs related to recurring maintenance, utilities, janitorial, and roads and grounds expenses (Source: FRPC 2012).

Building: In accordance with the FRPC 2012 Guidance for Real Property Inventory Reporting, a building includes an enclosure for human occupancy that serves a variety of functions (food service, education, recreation, medical/dental, storage, administration) and is likely to have full utility services (heating, cooling, etc.). A building typically is over 400 square feet.

Building Condition Rating by Function: Each building is assigned a building condition based on the physical condition of the building and the impact on the functional use of the facility. Three ratings are possible:

Good: The facility condition is not impacting the facility function. A facility can have deficiencies and still be considered good.

Fair: The facility condition is impacting the facility function and deficiencies are limited to less than 30% of the replacement value. Correction of the deficiencies would allow the facility to return to a good status.

Poor: The facility condition is significantly impacting the facility function and/or deficiencies are more than 30% of the replacement value. Generally a poor rating indicates a “gut renovation or total replacement/demolition would be required.

Building/Structure Ratings: Each building is rated according to three ratings (good, fair, and poor) based on evaluations of the structure, exterior, interior, mechanical, and electrical elements. Three ratings are possible:

Good: The facility condition is not impacting the facility function. A facility can have deficiencies and still be considered good.

Fair: The facility condition is impacting the facility function and deficiencies are limited to less than 30% of the replacement value. Correction of the deficiencies would allow the facility to return to a good status.

Poor: The facility condition is significantly impacting the facility function and/or deficiencies are more than 30% of the replacement value. Generally a poor rating indicates a “gut renovation or total replacement/demolition would be required

Construction Type: The International Building Code (IBC) construction classifications include the following:

Type I and II. Those types of construction in which building elements are of noncombustible materials, except as permitted in Section 603 and elsewhere in the code.

Type II and III. Any type of construction where the exterior walls are of noncombustible material and the interior building elements are of any material permitted by the code.

Type IV. This type (heavy timber, HT) is where the exterior walls are of noncombustible material and the interior building elements are of solid or laminated wood without concealed spaces.

Type V. That type of construction where structural elements, exterior walls, and interior walls are of any materials permitted by the code.

Contract Strength: The authorized number of students at a Center in accordance with the contract between the Region and Center Operator.

Deficiency: A deficiency at a Center represents the spectrum of conditions related to the Center’s mission and/or its physical, functional, or operational features do not meet related goals, standards, codes, or other measures of acceptability. Each deficiency at a JCC or CCC initially is categorized as one of the following three deficiencies: Program, Site, or Building:

Program: Program deficiencies address issues such as square footage shortages or the omission of amenities required or standard for the proper operation of a particular Job Corps function.

Site: Site deficiencies indicate adverse site and infrastructure conditions which negatively impact operations and environment (e.g., site lighting, sidewalks, roads, etc.)

Building: Building deficiencies indicate adverse conditions at the building level.

This element includes the substructure, shell, interior, services (plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, and electrical), and equipment and furnishings.

Deficiency Classifications (I to IV): Deficiency classifications are defined as follows:

Class IA - Deficiencies which address imminent life safety and health hazards.

Class II - Deficiencies which address code violations, however, do not represent imminent life safety and health hazards.

A - Deficiencies which violate code (Federal, State or Local) and may result in an interruption of center operations if not corrected.

B - Deficiencies which violate code (Federal, State or Local) and have no immediate impact on center operations if not corrected.

C- Deficiencies which are not in compliance for accessibility in accordance with the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), or other applicable standards.

Class III - Deficiencies which address facility repair, replacement or maintenance.

A - Deficiencies which if not corrected may result in an interruption of center operations.

B - Deficiencies which if not corrected will have minimal impact on center operations or can be mitigated through temporary measures until the deficiency is corrected.

Class IV – Deficiencies which address programmatic needs.

A - Deficiencies which if corrected produce substantial improvements in the quality of the learning and living environment.

B - Deficiencies which if corrected are desirable enhancements.

Deficiency Funding Status: The status of the deficiency included the following categories:

Funded deficiencies report indicates the funding year for funded Regional projects, which have dollar amounts shown, or deficiencies assigned to funded National and Regional projects without dollar amounts. Major Regional projects are equivalent to National projects but assigned to the Federal agency (e.g., U.S.

Department of Agriculture) that acts as the Center operator. All operations and maintenance (O&M) deficiencies are treated as funded through the Center Operators O&M contract within the Region.

Proposed deficiencies have been assigned to a proposed future National project.

Unfunded deficiencies are Regional projects unless or until they are assigned to a National project.

Deficiency Status: The deficiency status is tracked and updated during the three-year facility survey cycle, or as such deficiencies are corrected and reported. The status includes:

Uncorrected: Once a deficiency is identified, documented, reported, and assigned for correction, the deficiency remains uncorrected until such time that the deficiency is corrected, reported, and verified.

Corrected: A corrected deficiency is one that has been assigned, funded, corrected, reported, and verified. Typically, the ESC verifies completion of the deficiency through the facility survey or site visit. The Center also may report completion and provide verifiable evidence of the correction, subject to review by the ESC.

Funded Not Corrected: A deficiency that has been approved and authorized as a regional project through the CRA budget, emergency or supplemental funding, or the Life Safety Memo. Note: the funding may not have reached the Center yet as the first steps are a FOP allocation by the National Office and a contract modification by the Region.

No Longer Needed: A no longer needed deficiency is one that has been approved and funded as a Regional project, but due to subsequent circumstances, has been reported by the Center as no longer being required to be accomplished. This type of deficiency is verified and confirmed by the ESC and removed from the Funded Not Corrected deficiency category. The Center should take action with its Region to return the funds.

Facility Condition Index: This performance measure reflects the condition of each asset by comparing the current repair needs to the replacement value of the asset. The index is expressed as a percentage, with 100% being a facility with no repair needs.

Gross Square Foot: The sum of all areas on all floors of a building included within the outside faces of its exterior walls, including all vertical penetration areas, for circulation and shaft areas that connect one floor to another. Gross Area is computed by physically measuring or scaling measurements from the outside faces of exterior walls, disregarding cornices, pilasters, buttresses, etc., that extend beyond the wall faces. Exclude areas having less than a 3-foot clear ceiling height unless the criteria of a separate structure are met. Measured in terms of Gross Square Feet (GSF): GSF = Net Usable Area + Structural Space (Source: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2006/ficm/).

Mission Dependency: The value an asset brings to the performance of the mission as determined by the governing agency. Specific elements of this category include (FRPC 2012):

Mission Critical - – Without constructed asset or parcel of land, mission is compromised.

Mission Dependent, Not critical (MDNC) - Does not fit into Mission Critical or Not Mission Dependent categories.

Not Mission Dependent (NMD) – Mission unaffected

Ownership (Owned vs Leased): If the property is owned, the Federal Government has fee simple interest for the real property asset. If the property is leased, the rights to use the asset are assigned to the Federal Government by a private entity or a non-Federal Government entity for a defined period of time in return for rental payments (FRPC 2012).

National Project: Generally large and complex projects that require professionally prepared drawings and specifications that are time phased (design and construction) and contracted by the DOL National Office.

Net Square Foot: The sum of all areas on all floors of a building assigned to, or available for assignment to, an occupant or specific use. This value is computed by physically measuring or scaling measurements from the inside faces of surfaces that form the boundaries of the designated areas. Exclude areas having less than a 3-foot clear ceiling height unless the criteria of a separate structure are met. Included should be major space use categories for assignable space (e.g., dormitories, education, recreation, etc.) that are used to accomplish the institution’s mission. Net Square foot: NASF = Sum of Areas Designated by the Major Space Use Categories (Source: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2006/ficm/).

On Board Strength (OBS): The actual number of students on Center on a day to day basis.

Preventive Maintenance: The care and servicing by personnel for the purpose of maintaining equipment and facilities in satisfactory operating condition by providing for systematic inspection, detection, and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects (Source: Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, US DOD 2005).

Property Type: Indicates the asset as one of the following categories of real property:

land, building, structure.

Property Use: Since the elements defined by the FRPC do not match the space use codes employed in ESCIS, a mapping procedure will be created to align the definitions.

In the report, the Federal Real Property Council (FRPC) classifications will be printed for display. The information is available through the property registration field of Engineering Support Contractor Information System (ESCIS), and the current ESCIS designations will be correlated to the FRPC designations as follows:

ESCIS FRPC

Dormitory Dormitories/Barracks Food Service Other Institutional Uses Education School Recreation Other Institutional Uses Medical/Dental Other Institutional Uses Storage Warehouse Administration Office Structure * Storage, Service, Utility

Systems, or Other Land Institutional

* Each structure will be entered manually from the ESCIS database into one of four FRPC categories listed opposite the term “structure”.

Replacement Value: The cost of replacing the existing constructed asset at today’s building standards. It is the amount required to construct an asset of similar size and in the same location at today’s construction standards. The replacement value reported must be greater than zero (FRPC 2012).

Regional Office Project: Generally smaller projects where the funds will be transferred to the region for center execution.

Structure: In accordance with the FRPC 2012 Guidance for Real Property Inventory Reporting, a structure serves to provide storage, service, utility systems and is not likely to have full utilities (heating, cooling, etc.). A structure typically is less than 400 square feet.

Sustainability: Formally known as the World Commission on Environment and Development, the Brundtland Commission's mission in the 1980s was to unite countries to pursue sustainable development. The Commission defined sustainability as the “development which meets the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

Sustainability also is defined as the creation or enhancement of environmental, economic, and social-cultural balance, as realized through business activities, individual actions, and community engagement. Sustainability addresses approaches, methods and practices that optimize the use of energy, water, and materials while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

Utilization: This performance measure assesses the degree to which each asset is utilized and is expressed as a percentage. It is calculated on a square footage basis, comparing the square footage used to the “design square footage” based on contract strength (Source: FRPC 2012).

This report documents the results, conclusions and recommendations for the facility survey completed at Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center, Reno, NV during the period April 09 - 17, 2014.

The U.S. Department of Labor Engineering Support Contractor (ESC) team completed the survey on behalf of the Job Corps facilities program.

The facility assessment is a comprehensive process that provides objective and subjective analysis of existing and projected future condition of facilities. The facility assessment is a key component in understanding the life cycle, condition, and costs of buildings, structures, building systems, and assets within the Center. Specific objectives of this assessment include:

Provide an assessment of all facilities and identify related deficiencies Assess maintenance requirements Define renewal and replacement projects Identify potentially damaging or unsafe conditions Identify sustainability opportunities (e.g., waste recycling and energy and water conservation measures) Inventory accessibility in accordance with Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard Develop cost estimates and schedules for new or replacement projects and correction of deficiencies

The site layout and characteristics of the 45-acre Center are noted in Figure ES-1 and Table ES- 1, respectively. The survey results indicate the site and buildings generally are in good condition and well maintained. Operation and maintenance (O&M) of the Center and preventive maintenance practices are good. For the PY 14 reporting year, 10 regional life safety deficiencies valued at $9,249 were identified. An additional 50 life safety O&M deficiencies were identified.

Finally, the Center corrected all the funded life safety deficiencies previously identified. The Long Range Plan (LRP) includes two National projects in amount of $12.52 Million and three Regional projects, totaling $1,194,440. In addition, there are recommendations to address funded not corrected deficiencies. Table ES-2 summarizes the facility assessment and recommendations for projects. Section 4.0 of this report includes the proposed site plan based on these recommendations.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS

Background

Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center is located on 45 acres of land north of Reno, Nevada. The Center is owned by DOL and operated by Management & Training Corporation (MTC) and currently has 23 buildings with 295,454 gross square feet (GSF) and 20 structures totaling 4,576 GSF. The Center formerly included several leased buildings and an additional 10.5 acres leased from the University of Nevada. A campus consolidation project completed in 2006 replaced leased buildings with newly constructed DOL-owned buildings and returned the 10.5 acres to the University.

Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center provides residential living, academic education, recreation and vocational training for a population of 570 students consisting of 255 resident female students, 290 resident male students and 25 non-residents. At the time of the April 2014 Facility Survey, the contract strength was temporarily reduced to 449. The total area at the Center is 216,967 net square feet (NSF) compared to the DOL-suggested space guidelines range of 163,000 NSF to 212,000 NSF for a Center with the full complement of student population.

General Site Conditions The Center is located in the Pacific Time zone at 39°36’ north latitude and 119°48’ west longitude and has an average elevation of 5,000 feet above sea level. January temperatures in Reno range from an average low of 21.8°F to an average high of 45.5°F. July temperatures in Reno range from an average low of 51.4°F to an average high of 91.2°F. Reno is considered to be in the arid part of the Rocky Mountain Region with an average annual precipitation of approximately 10 inches consisting of 7.3 inches of average annual rainfall and 23 inches of average annual snowfall.

The campus is bounded by Echo Avenue, Mt. Bismark Street, Cocoa Avenue, Mt. Lola Street, Bravo Avenue, and Mt. Charleston Street. A notable facility to the north is the Reno Stead Airport, a general aviation airport that was formerly the Stead Air Force Base. There are mountains in the surrounding area, especially towards the northwest.

Education buildings with mountains in the background

The campus has multiple entrances: a formal and a secondary entrance from Mt. Charleston Street, several entrances to the cafeteria and parking lots from Echo Avenue, four entrances from Mt.

Bismark Street, and an entrance to the hard vocation area from Cocoa Avenue. Although there have not been any significant problems, a large number of entrances make it difficult to control the site.

The terrain has a gentle slope with sparse natural vegetation. The campus is divided into east and west portions with a large open space and a ball field in the middle. Day and night functions are somewhat blended. The east campus includes education, administration, and medical/dental functions, two dormitories, and a theater building remotely located at the northeast corner. A majority of the buildings on the east campus are new. The west campus consists of four dormitories, the cafeteria, two recreation buildings, a small building for the duty officer, and the support services building. One recreation building and the support services building are the only new buildings on this side. Asphalt roads and concrete sidewalks are generally in good condition.

Electrical service is brought to the Center from three locations from power poles along Mt.

Bismark Street and Echo Avenue. The primary metering is located at the utility pole on Echo Avenue and secondary meters are installed in the majority of buildings on Center. Most existing building services are overhead with pole-mounted and/or platform-mounted transformers while new buildings have underground services via pad-mounted transformers. Vocational Buildings 6, 7 and 8 secondary services are 480/277V, 3-phase, 4 wire with step-down transformers providing 120/208V, 3-phase, 4 wire system. Dormitory, Buildings 11, 15, 18, 19, 20 and 21 are each provided with a 1.5 kW generator to back-up the emergency lighting system in the buildings. The Cafeteria Building 22 has a 230 kVA diesel generator with automatic transfer switch (ATS) located outside in the back of the building.

Site lighting is a combination of building-mounted fixtures and pole-mounted fixtures at parking areas, post-mounted fixtures along walkways and sport lights at the ball field. Except the ball field sport lights which have manual switches, the site lighting system is controlled by photocells and time clock. The Center owns and maintains the site lighting system.

Telephone/data service is brought to the Center by AT&T via five T1 lines and terminates in the computer room in Security Vocation Building 16. From this location, digital voice over IP (VoIP) and data/communication networks are distributed throughout the Center. The networks are provided and maintained by Job Corps Data Center. Fire alarm systems in buildings throughout the Center are stand-alone but monitored by the Center fire alarm system contractor via telephone.

Fuel oil is supplied by Reno Fuel Company for dual fuel gas/oil boilers in Cafeteria Building 22.

Natural gas is supplied by Sierra Pacific. The distribution system is adequate. Truckee Meadows Water Company supplies domestic and fire protection water to the Center. Fire hydrants are located throughout the site and are in good working order. A municipal fire department is approximately two minutes away. The City of Reno provides sanitary waste disposal for the Center. Storm water is disposed off by surface runoff.

General Building Conditions Health Services/Wellness Building 4 was constructed in 2002 as the first step in campus consolidation. This was followed by the construction of Administration Building 1, six education buildings (2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8), Recreation Building 25 and Support Services Building 29 completed in 2006. Health Services Building 4 has a metal exterior which has rusted from the bottom. The nine buildings constructed in 2006 have masonry, metal and storefront exteriors and are in good condition. However, the sealing coat applied to exterior masonry no longer provides moisture protection allowing moisture to migrate inside. All other buildings were constructed during 1951-52 and are in good structural condition except Cafeteria Building 22, Gymnasium Building 26, and Theatre Building 31 that are seismically deficient. Building 26 is being structurally upgraded to meet seismic requirements and a National project will replace the cafeteria.

The Center was advised not to use Building 31 until it is structurally upgraded to meet seismic requirements.

Preventive Maintenance

The Center uses Preventive Maintenance Scheduler software to conduct preventive maintenance. The Center is generally well-maintained; however, a lot of equipment is nearing the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced. This has created a heavy burden on the maintenance staff while they try to keep the old equipment operable.

Ownership Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center is a federally owned Center that was activated in 1979. The Center is located on approximately 45 acres of land that was purchased from the University of Nevada.

Facility Assessment by Function

Student Housing

Six dormitories provide living space for 255 women and 290 men totaling a resident population of 545 students. All of the dormitories were built in 1952, are structurally sound and typically have two floors. Each floor typically has two wings with an RA office in the middle and a lounge in each wing.

Dormitory Buildings 11, 15, and 18 were designated for women and Dormitory Buildings 19, 20, and 21 were designated for men. The Center now assigns both genders in some of the dormitories, separating the genders by floor. Dormitory Buildings 11 and 15 have spacious two-person bedrooms and a bathroom located between two bedrooms, serving a total of four students.

This arrangement functions well. Dormitory Buildings 18, 19, 20 and 21 have sleeping rooms housing two or three beds and a common bathroom in each wing. At the time of the April 2014 Facility Survey, Building 19 was temporarily vacant.

Though well maintained, interior finishes of dormitory rooms are aged and the Center is renovating finishes under CTST projects. A previous CTST project had done an excellent job of upgrading one of the common bathrooms in Building 20. The remaining three common

Dormitory Building 19 bathrooms in this building and all the common bathrooms in Buildings 18, 19 and 21 have the old fixtures and worn finishes that present a dilapidated look and sometimes cause leaks.

Education

Most academic and vocational educational functions are distributed in new buildings. Academic functions are in Education Building 2, non-academic functions in Student Services & Security Building 5 and soft vocations in Education Building 3.

Hard vocation Buildings 6, 7 and 8 form a group at the northeast corner of the campus. These new buildings function well with a few exceptions: six welding booths in Building 7 lack exhaust ventilation and are therefore inactive; several classrooms and a conference room in Student Services and Security Building 5 are noisy as they lack acoustic metal strips used in other new buildings.

Hospitality vocation and culinary arts are in Building

10. These are in fair condition with HVAC marginally functional systems. The interior configuration is no longer effective for aspiring culinary arts and hospitality programs. Security vocation is in Building 16 which is in good condition and adequate.

Food Service

Although the overall space in Cafeteria Building 22 is theoretically adequate, food service functionality suffers from an inefficient layout and a limiting structural system. A large number of columns interfere with circulation and prevent efficient table layout. This 1952-era building is generally deteriorated and the building structure is seismically deficient.

Funded National Project 3204 will construct a new cafeteria to replace this building. The design for the new cafeteria has been completed.

Recreation

Indoor recreation functions are in Recreation Building 25 constructed in 2006 and in Gymnasium Building 26 and Theatre Building 31 constructed in 1952. Building 25 is in good condition and functions well. The gymnasium and the theatre were both seismically deficient, and have HVAC and interior finish issues. The gymnasium is being renovated and structurally improved to meet seismic requirements under funded National Project 1991. After this renovation, Buildings 25 and 26 will generally meet the indoor recreation needs for the students. The Center has been advised not to use Building 31 unless it is seismically reinforced.

Cafeteria Building 22

Outdoor recreation includes a basketball court and open fields which accommodate field sports such as softball, football and soccer.

Administration

Administration Building 1 was constructed as part of the Center consolidation project. The administrative spaces are adequate in size, function well and are in good condition. However, exterior joints are susceptible to sand and moisture penetration during heavy winds and rains.

Medical/Dental

Medical and dental functions are housed in Health Services/Wellness Building 4. This modular building, constructed in 2002, is in good condition and adequately serves the needs of the Center but the metal exterior has started to rust.

Storage/Support Warehouse and maintenance functions are housed in the new Support Services Building 29 located at the northwest corner of the site. This building is in good condition and functions well. This handsome building is one of the best examples of industrial architecture in Job Corps and has been maintained in excellent condition.

Environmental Management

Asbestos-containing materials are located in several buildings at the Sierra Nevada JCC. Friable asbestos-containing materials include pipe insulation and duct insulation. All asbestos-containing materials must be kept in good condition through observation and recordkeeping every 6 months. The Center should have a trained asbestos coordinator that takes annual refresher courses.

Resource Use/Conservation

Energy and Water Conservation

Energy and water use and associated trends are summarized below for the Sierra Nevada JCC.

Background: Table 1 has current energy and water usage and cost. The Sierra Nevada JCC has reported very low fuel oil and natural gas prices in 2013.

Table 1: Energy and Water Statistics – FY2013 Energy Usage Cost Unit Cost Average Cost in Job Corps Electricity 2,472,133 kWh $236,753 $0.096/kWh $0.099/kWh Natural Gas 215,871 CCF $95,531 $0.44/CCF $0.74/CCF

Support Services Building 29

Fuel Oil 12,219 gal. $16,174 $1.32/gal $3.35/gal.

Water 21,611,000 gal. $90,929 $4.2/kgal $5.59/kgal Total $439,387

This analysis is based on the latest energy information available. FY2013 data are the latest entire year available for analysis.

Energy Data Issues: The Sierra Nevada JCC has posted consistent energy and water data since 2003. The energy data appears to be of high quality with little variation from year to year.

Electricity from November 2013 and January 2014 appear to be too low. The cost data is suspect as unit costs for natural gas and fuel oil appear to be too low in 2013.

Benchmarking: Table 2 is based on the EO13423 goals of 3% annual energy reduction since the FY2003 baseline and 2% annual water reduction since the FY2007 baseline.

The energy usage reported by the Center has not met their target in 2013.

Water usage has met the target. However, the Sierra Nevada JCC has very high water usage.

The Center is 22nd in Job Corps at 117.3 gal/student/day. Figure 1 documents the annual energy intensity in BTU/GSF compared to the baseline from 2003 to 2013. Figure 2 indicates the water intensity compared to the annual targets for the years 2007 to 2013.

Figure 1: Energy Intensity Compared to FY 2003 Baseline and Annual Targets.

Figure 2: Annual Water Intensity Compared to FY2008 Baseline and Annual Targets.

Electricity: Electricity Usage at the Center increases in the summer months. The summers at Sierra Nevada can be hot. Figure 3 tracks the monthly electricity usage since 2011. The November and January entries from FY2014 are likely to be incorrect.

Figure 3: Monthly Electricity Usage

Figure 4 shows the average electricity usage per month and potential reductions of 5% and 10% compared to the average of the past 4 years. The 5% and 10% lines can be used as targets for future energy reduction.

Figure 4: Average Electricity Usage And 5% And 10% Below the Average.

Natural Gas: Natural gas is used mainly for heating and domestic water heating at the Center.

As natural gas is used for heating, usage is higher during the heating season. Monthly usage since 2010 is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: Monthly Natural Gas Usage

Water: The monthly water consumption since FY2011 for the Center is shown in Figure 6.

Monthly water usage has lower usage in winter months and higher in the summer. This reflects the use of water for irrigation. The Center uses an estimated 15,000,000 gal. of water per year on irrigation or 69% of total water usage. A program to reduce irrigation by reducing land that needs irrigation and using more efficient irrigation would greatly reduce water usage.

Sustainability

DOL is committed to implementing initiatives in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management, and EO 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance. As a result, Job Corps Centers have been adopting practices aimed at reducing energy, water, and waste. Centers have also been implementing other measures such as enhancement of indoor environmental quality, storm water management, reduction of environmental impact of materials, green cleaning practices, environmentally preferred purchasing, integrated pest management and recycling. Furthermore, new construction shall comply with the latest version of the Job Corps Handbook (JCH) 814 which specifies sustainable design criteria.

In support to DOL’s goals, Sierra Nevada JCC has implemented the following initiatives:

Active Energy and Water Use Reduction Program Recycling program and measured recycling Green Purchasing Policy Practiced The Center maintenance staff utilizes SchoolDude to manage its work orders Employing Employ Integrated Assessment, Operation, and Management Principles to create sustainable existing buildings

Accessibility Standards

The site and 11 of the 23 buildings are accessible. Seven additional buildings have access to services. The site is accessible. Compliance will be incorporated as major renovation projects are developed and new buildings are constructed. All future projects at the center will be in conformance with the GSA's Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Standard for Federal Facilities and will include provisions for full accessibility. All areas of newly constructed buildings, facilities and altered or leased buildings/facilities as well as the existing buildings and structures, shall comply with ABA to provide reasonable accommodation as required by federal disability and non-discrimination laws. All future projects at the Center will include provisions for full accessibility. These corrective actions could be accomplished by the Center forces and Centers funding (O&M) or by qualified contractor and Regional/National/Lessor funding.
