The quantity of the electrical circuits in the serving area and at the north of the serving area is insufficient for the existing loads. This results in overloading of the circuits and frequent tripping of the circuit breakers. Overloaded circuits are in the following locations. One circuit, serving five canopy-mounted light fixtures located along the north building wall, also is serving other loads in the manager’s office and in the serving area. Another circuit is serving Cooley (by Crath Co.), salad bar and other loads in the serving area. Also, there is no dedicated receptacle at the salad bar and the salad bar need to be served by power cord from a 20 feet away located receptacle outlet.
(NEC, 2017, 210.19(A)(1), 440.11)
Provide three new 20A, 120V, 1-phase branch circuits from the nearest electrical panel. Provide one dedicated circuit for the exterior lighting located along the north building wall. Provide one dedicated circuit and one dedicated 20A, 120V, 1-phase GFCI receptacle outlet to serve the Cooley (by Crath Co.). Provide one dedicated 20A, 120V-1-phase GFCI receptacle outlet for the salad bar. Both Cooley and the salad bar are located in the serving area. Provide 3 #12 THHN wire in 1/2 inch EMT conduit.
As of the February 2018 Facility Survey, this deficiency, identified in 2014, was still valid.

The kitchen has a makeup air unit interlocked with operation of the kitchen hood exhaust fan which were malfunctioning and non-operational during the February 2018 Facility Survey. The hoods, ducts, fans and fire extinguishing systems are required to be kept in working condition to reduce the potential fire hazard of cooking operations. Replacement air quantity shall be adequate to prevent negative pressures in the commercial cooking area(s) from exceeding 4.98 Pa (0.02-inch of water column). When the fire-extinguishing system activated, makeup air supplied internally to a hood shall be shut off. It is not advisable to discontinue the use of replacement air systems during cooking operations. Exhaust function, indoor pollution, indoor comfort, and grease removal, for example, will be adversely affected.
(NFPA 96, 2017, 4.1.3, 8.3)
Troubleshoot, repair or replace malfunctioning parts. Include routine maintenance and inspection of the kitchen make up air unit in the preventive maintenance program.

Chapter 1: Introduction
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.0. Objectives
The objective of this chapter is to introduce the fundamental principles guiding Job Corps facilities design and management, and give procedures for the use of this guideline including the mission of the Job Corps, authority, and definitions.
1.1. Mission of Job Corps
Job Corps is a national residential training and employment program administered by the Department of Labor (DOL). The Job Corp’s mission is to attract eligible young adults, teach them the skills they need to become employable and independent, and develop careers or prepare them for further education. It addresses the multiple barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged youth throughout the United States. Job Corps was originally established by the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964; authorization for the program continued under the Comprehensive Employment Training Act, then Title IV-B of the Job Training partnership Act, and is currently provided for under Title I-C of the Workforce Investment Act, 1998.
1.2. Purpose of Handbook
The U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Job Corps “Planning, Design and Construction Administration Guidelines”, commonly described as Job Corps Handbook 8-14 (JCH 8-14), contains guidance, procedures and policies that architect/engineers and design-build contractors providing services to the Department of Labor must adhere to in the planning, design and construction of Job Corps specific projects.
This handbook also defines technical standards which establish levels of planning, design and construction quality and performance of materials and systems incorporated into new, expansion of, or modification to facilities at Job Corps center (JCC) and Civilian Conservation Center (CCC) sites. Standards are also applicable to work performed under the Career Technical Student Training (CTST) program.
This handbook supersedes all previous planning, design and construction administration guidelines, written or verbal. Requests for interpretations of the guidelines or proposed deviations are to be directed to the engineering support contractor (ESC) on behalf of the National Office of Job Corps. Proposed deviations are to receive approval by the contracting officer’s representative (COR) prior to any financial or promissory commitment.
1.3. Definitions
1.3.1. Traditional A/E Project
The traditional A/E project consists of the A/E performing the project design separately from the construction contractor. This is a traditional design, bid and build project with the contractor and A/E working under separate contracts with the owner. The A/E has the responsibility for the design, code compliance, bidding, and regulatory agency reviews, and works with the owner to complete the design phase of the project. The project is then advertised and bid, and the selected contractor is responsible for completing the construction phase, including securing any required permits. The A/E typically acts as the owner representative during the construction phase and performs administration of the construction contract.
1.3.2. Design Build Project
Design-build (D-B) projects typically have the A/E or other design professional working directly with the construction contractor as a single team known as the D-B contractor. Only the D-B contractor has the contract with the owner. The D-B contract is typically procured via a best value source selection. Within its price, the D-B negotiates the fee for the project design; permit fees, other consulting costs such as testing or regulatory agency reviews, and construction. The D-B contractor has the responsibility for the project in all phases from design through construction.
