2. Project Objectives p. 15/81

2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES

2.1 MISSION STATEMENT

DoD humanitarian assistance activities were first authorized by US Congress in 1986. In FY 1996, DoD was permitted to fund a wider variety of HA activities, including using contracts and deployment of U.S. Government personnel to conduct specific humanitarian projects.

Typical projects include the refurbishment of medical facilities, construction of health post buildings, digging of wells, construction of schools, improvement of sanitary facilities, and training of host country personnel in internally displaced persons/refugee repatriation operations and in disaster relief and emergency response planning.

The DoD, in an attempt to assist in development and implementation of the Humanitarian Assistance Program, is funding and coordinating the project which is the subject matter of this contract.

NAVFAC EURAFSWA has been designated as the Construction Agent for this project.

2.2 FACILITY FUNCTION

The health post complex will be situated in a remote area lacking any sanitary infrastructure, so the facility will also be used by the surrounding villages.

The clinic will provide assistance to women for delivery, and help handle quick accidents related to the population agricultural activities.

The operation of this health post will improve the health conditions in the area, and reduce the infant mortality rate.

2.3 PROJECT SPECIFIC PRIORITIES

Sustainable Design Integrate sustainable principles into the design, development and construction of the project.

Reduce the total cost of ownership of the facility using a whole building, life-cycle approach.

Provide integrated sustainable design strategies and features to minimize the energy consumption of the facilities; conserve resources; minimize adverse effects to the environment; and improve occupant productivity, health, and comfort.

Energy Conservation Integrate energy conservation principles into the design, development and construction of the project. Reduce the total cost and consumption of energy in the facility using a whole building approach.

2.4 APPROPRIATE DESIGN

The design is to maintain an indigenous character. As much as possible, materials are to be available locally to promote the local economy and to take advantage of the skills and experience of local trades-persons. Construction methods are to be in-line with those used locally to take advantage of the skills and experience of local trades-persons.

2.5 WORKFLOW PROCESS - HOURS OF OPERATION

The work of this contract is to be done during the hours the facility is normally open to the public. If needs arise to work other than normal hours, obtain approval from, and coordinate with the facility owner.

~~~ End of Part 2 ~~~

3. Site Analysis p. 16/81

3 SITE ANALYSIS

3.1 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS

The land intended for the construction is an empty sandy area in the isolated village of Bouhadjra, located at GPS coordinates 16o 29' 94" 04 and 16o 40' 22" 28, in the vicinity of a school.

The village is within the area of the Diawling National Park in the municipality of N'diago, Moughataa de Keur, and it is reachable only by a dirty road.

The above picture shows the current status of the area seen from the East side. The building in the distance is the school.

Utilities are not available in the vicinity.

The water supply to the village is provided by truck.

3. Site Analysis p. 17/81

3.2 SITE DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS

An example of the health post compound final layout is sketched below.

Exact new facility orientation and layout shall be determined to best fit the topography and the prevailing winds, and shall be coordinated with the health post officials.

Facility Footprint A scaled drawing with exact dimensions showing the site lay-out including location of all existing buildings, latrines, and perimeter wall (if any) with gate locations shall be included in the concept design. The drawing shall show the items to be removed, those to stay, and those to be built.

DESIGN CONSTRAINTS

Design of the facility and its location and orientation within the proposed site shall take into consideration all natural and man-made constraints, which include but aren’t limited to:

Topography: all site slopes shall be taken in account in order to minimize the need for cut and fill operations Vegetation / Landscaping: vegetation shall be protected, and landscaping design shall be maintainable Climatology (solar orientation, etc.): Design shall take advantage of prevailing wind direction and solar orientation to naturally moderate the interior temperature of the buildings Geotechnical Data: Foundations and structural components of the buildings shall be designed in accordance with geotechnical soils report information. Geotechnical engineering services shall be provided if no current report exists for the site. Design shall be in accordance to the seismic zone of classification of the project site.

Hydrographic Survey: a hydrographic survey shall be performed to determine the storm water runoff

3. Site Analysis p. 18/81

Vehicular Access and Circulation: existing vehicular access shall be taken in account Site Utilities: location and capacity of all existing utilities on site shall be verified prior to start design Site Drainage: the facilities shall be designed without negative impact from storm water runoff to the adjacent area of the site.

Existing Buildings: Identify and accurately locate on the site plan all existing buildings on the site.

Fencing: Identify and accurately locate on the site plan all existing fencing on the site.

Permits: all permits, approvals, and authorizations needed to implement the design shall be obtained prior to start construction.

ACCESS, CIRCULATION, AND SITE DEVELOPMENT

Any proposed vehicular and/or pedestrian access, paths, sidewalks, steps, parking areas, outdoor recreation area, landscaping etc. shall be reported on the site plan, as well as areas of material storage and temporary security fencing.

All proposed drainage channels shall be shown on the site plan.

The location of the construction sign and any other signage required by local authorities shall be indicated on the site plan.
