HENDERSON HALL

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.1 OBJECTIVES

MILITARY FACILITY CIVILIAN FACILITY

STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT PLATFORM CONFERENCE CENTER

U.S. Army's objective is that the building will have a 50-year useful design life before a possible reuse, re-purpose or renovation requirement, to include normal sustainment, restoration, and modernization activities. Therefore, the design and construction should provide an appropriate level of quality to ensure continued use of the facility over that time-period with the application of reasonable preventive maintenance and repairs that would be industry-acceptable to a major civilian sector project OWNER.

Site infrastructure will have at least a 50-year life expectancy with industry-accepted maintenance and repair cycles.

The government is required by Public Law 102-486, Executive Order 13123, and Federal Energy Act 2005 to design and construct facilities in an energy conserving manner while considering life cycle cost over the life of the facilities.

Develop project site for efficiency and to convey a sense of unity or connectivity with the adjacent buildings and with the Installation as a whole.

Requirements stated in this contract are minimums. Innovative, creative, and life cycle cost effective solutions, which meet or exceed these requirements are encouraged. Further, the OFFEROR is encouraged to seek solutions that will expedite construction and shorten the schedule. The intent of the Government is to emphasize the placement of funds into functional/operational requirements. Materials and methods should reflect this by choosing the lowest Type of Construction allowed by code for this occupancy/project allowing the funding to be reflected in the quality of interior/exterior finishes and systems selected.

1.2 SECTION ORGANIZATION

This Section is organized under 5 major chapters.

• Chapter 1 - Defines project objectives and provide a comparison between military facilities and comparable “civilian” type buildings.

• Chapter 2 - Describes scope of the project.

• Chapter 3 - Describes site analysis.

• Chapter 4 - Lists applicable industry and government design criteria, generally applicable to all facility types, unless otherwise indicated in the Section. It is not an all-inclusive list. Other industry and government standards may also be used, where necessary to produce professional designs, unless they conflict with those listed.

• Chapter 5 - Provides general room requirements.

CH 02 - SCOPE

2. SCOPE

The project consists of designing and constructing the new Patton Hall – Strategic Engagement Platform (SEP). This project replaces the existing Patton Hall which has been damaged beyond repair. The new facility square footage will be equal to or less than the building square footage to be demolished which is 70,600 square feet (SF). Minimum program space requirements are defined in the Program Requirement provided in Appendix A. The facility configuration and placement must be within the defined Limits of Work (LOW) as shown on CS100 – Site Plan Limits of Work in Appendix B.

The new facility will serve as the heart and embodiment of the U.S. Army’s longstanding tradition of leadership excellence. Patton Hall, for years, provided a gathering place for the Army. This new center will continue to be both an integral hub for internal community engagement, and a prominent platform for external strategic outreach in support of U.S. Army leadership goals.

Within the U.S. Army, the facility will provide a distinguished, ceremonial setting for significant milestones in the lives of soldiers and officers, including promotions, commissions, weddings, retirements, and memorial services. The facility must have a design language that respects both joyous and somber occasions, and which can flexibly accommodate a constantly rotating range of event types.

External to the service, the venue will serve as the central showcase of U.S. Army leadership. It will be the U.S. Army’s primary center to build inter-agency goodwill while promoting U.S. Army leadership’s strategic vision, policies, and culture. As such, the new facility must present an environment of hospitality, respect, cooperation, and unity that extends to other branches and agencies.

Where possible, these goals should be accomplished through thoughtful, comprehensive consideration of user experience, procession, programming, massing, and daylighting. The building’s heritage, permanence, and respectability should be embodied in the building itself rather than relying solely on transitory elements such as finishes and artificial lighting. This attentive approach to fundamentals will ensure that the facility remains hallowed ground for generations to come.

Provide compliance with Department of Defense (DoD) Minimum Antiterrorism for Building standards.

Comprehensive building and furnishings related interior design services are required. Follow the guidelines for the design and treatment of historic properties. Provide Access for individuals with disabilities Architectural Barriers Act (ABA). Incorporate Cyber Security Measures. Design and achieve Sustainability/Energy measures. Provide facilities for a minimum life span of 50 years in accordance with DoD's Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1-200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems. All structures must comply with the UFCs, Federal, State, installation and local standards. Where conflict exists between the standards, the most stringent requirements will govern.

2.1 PROJECT BUILDINGS

2.1.1 BUILDING 214 – PATTON HALL

Building 214 at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall was constructed in 1896, with expansions in 1957 and 1968. It currently serves as a consolidated club for personnel of all ranks and their guests at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. The building is a contributing element to the Fort Myer National Historic District and a National Historic Landmark. The building is a historic property per 36CFR§800.16 as documented in the Program Agreement (PA) due to its association with individuals such as former base commander George Patton. Its proximity to Washington DC enables Patton Hall to be used as a conferencing center and events venue for the Greater Washington DC Area, including Arlington National Cemetery and senior military leadership.

The original building 214 was constructed as an administration building in 1896 with additions to the building completed in 1910 and 1955. The administration building was enjoined with Building 215, an

7 | P a g e adjacent late 19th century guard house/jail house, in the 1960s, to form what is today referred to as 'Patton Hall. It is a two-story, masonry-constructed building that is capped by a slate-clad hipped roof. The foundation is clad with stone veneer, and the exterior walls are faced with brick laid in running bond. The exterior walls are pierced by 2/2, double-hung wood windows. The windows all have stone sills and brick lintels.

The south (front) elevation has a two-story projecting entry pavilion addition constructed in the 1990s that is capped by a slate clad hipped roof. The first floor of the pavilion contains modern mechanical glass doors with one-light, wood sidelights. The main entrance is sheltered under a hipped roof porch and covered walk, with Tuscan columns, which wraps around the entry pavilion. On the second story of the pavilion above the main entrance is a paired window with a semicircular transom.

A two-story, brick-faced, flat-roof addition was constructed onto the northeast side of the building in the 1950s. A two-story brick, flat roof addition and a one-story brick, flat-roof addition was constructed between the historic buildings and onto the south end of the building’s original main block in the 1960s, west of the entry pavilion. The west end of the 1960s addition is enjoined with Building 215 a one-and-half story 1896 building that originally functioned as a “Guardhouse” and forms what is today referred to as “Patton Hall”.

A site visit and concept design charrette conducted in 2023 identified that many facility systems were either failed or nearing failure, and that spatial arrangements did not comply with current codes. Work classifications and alternative solutions were considered, initially focusing on repairing the existing facility. During the charrette, programmatic changes progressed, but cost estimates were significantly above the expected budget. Due to the limited site area, the proposed three-story building required compliance with UFC 4-010-01, Standard 6, Progressive Collapse, which applied to new construction or major alterations and contributed to higher costs. Historic preservation requirements also added to expenditures.

After evaluating expenses and benefits related to preserving parts of the historic structure, renovation plans were discontinued. A new facility will be built to replace the original building, intended to serve as a modern venue for very important people (VIP) events and functions.

2.1.2 BUILDING 214 – GUARDHOUSE

The Guardhouse is a one-story building clad with brick laid in running bond, and is capped by a slate-clad timber-framed hipped roof with overhanging eaves and exposed rafter ends. The elevations are pierced by 2/2 double-hung, wood-sash windows located in round arched window openings with concrete sills.

The roof contains hipped roof dormers with paired louvered openings. The south (front) elevation has a hipped roof porch with wood post supports. The main entrance is a double-leaf wood paneled door located inside the porch. The south half of the building includes a basement with wood joist framed first floor supported by timber girders and steel posts. The basement exterior walls are cast-in-place concrete with shallow foundations.

2.2 PROJECT DESIGN

CH 03 – SITE ANALYSIS

3. SITE ANALYSIS

Site work consists of all aspects of a complete project site. This includes site planning and design of all new site features (buildings, roads, parking, walkways, fencing, etc.), demolition, earthwork / grading, storm drainage, utilities, signage, landscaping, force protection, stormwater management and erosion and sediment control, and obtaining necessary permits.

The existing site consists of a 77,600 square foot (SF) building that consists of several building additions from the original 1896 building. The building was expanded between the years 1957-1968. Building 214 will be demolished under this project with the exception of the “Guardhouse” located on the west side of Patton Hall. The Guardhouse will be preserved by this project; in addition to restoring the original exterior condition of the Guardhouse, all utilities services and accessibility will need to be restored. The Guardhouse must be occupiable once Building 214 is demolished. The current building orientation has multiple entrances with a main entrance and drop off along Buffalo Soldier Ave on the south. There is an additional entrance on the south side of the building at the historic guardhouse and an entrance on the east side of the building adjacent to Custer Road and the parking lot. The rear of the building that is connected to the swimming pools is accessed from the lower level and secured with fencing.

Custer Road is situated along the east side of the building. It provides access to the facilities located to the north of Building 214 as well as provide an area for parents to drop children off and access the swimming pools from the exterior. The existing parking lot has two entrances on Custer Road. The boomerang-shaped parking lot has 107 existing parking spaces with five ABA accessible parking spaces positioned closest to the building entrance. The parking lot is 5ft-6ft higher than Custer Road with the grade differential accommodated by steep slopes and a concrete retaining wall.

The area east of the existing parking lot has been designated by the installation as a dedicated green field as part of their existing stormwater permit. The “green space” was required as part of another project on the installation as an exchange for impervious surface to promote water quality and stormwater infiltration. This green space has always been an open area on post. It was a historic parade ground during the late 19th century and used for tennis courts throughout much of the 20th century. The tennis courts were recently demolished for stormwater compliance. The permitted green space is delineated on CS100 Site Plan Limits of Work (Appendix B); permitting/pollution reduction requirements are illustrated in site drawings provided in Appendix B.

3.1 EXISTING SITE DESCRIPTION

The existing site consists of the Patton Hall building which is located on the north side of Buffalo Soldier Avenue (Ave) near the intersection with Arlington Road. The existing Patton Hall building is bound by Custer Road (Rd) and parking to the east, residential housing and Buffalo Soldier Ave to the south, the historic Guardhouse and Building 216 to the west, and three existing swimming pools to the north. Custer Road intersects with Arlington Ave at a point slightly east of alignment, resulting in a non-standard, angled junction rather than a traditional four-way intersection. The project site includes the existing Patton Hall building, but also Custer Road, parking lots, and the green space to the east of the Patton Hall building. The site boundary can be seen in Appendix B - CS100 and CS101 – Site Plan (Limits of Work).

Native files of the site plan can be provided to the contractor upon request to the Contracting Officer.

The existing parking lot associated with Patton Hall has 107 parking spaces located east of Custer Rd.

Access to the parking lot is via two entrances on Custer Rd with one-way traffic flow from south to north with a 23.5-foot-wide drive aisle. It should be noted that the existing parking lot does not meet the current UFC parking lot requirements. There is additional parking space for the facility along Buffalo Soldier Ave via on-street parallel parking and in the parking lot to the southwest of Patton Hall.

13 | P a g e

3.2 CONSTRUCTION PHASING, STAGING, AND CONTRACTOR ACCESS

There is limited available land for contractor staging and laydown. The contractor staging will be within the LOW as shown on CS100 – Site Plan Limits of Work in Appendix B. Contractor is to submit a construction phasing plan for review and approval by Directorate of Public Works (DPW). Contractors will access Patton Hall through the JBM-HH Visitor Control gate located at 101 Carpenter Rd, Fort Myer, Virginia 22211. After entering the installation, contractors should head northeast, turn left onto McNair Road, then left again on Buffalo Soldier Avenue to reach the project site. Safe pedestrian and vehicular access to the swimming pools is required during the operational months.

3.3 DEMOLITION

Demolition of the existing Patton Hall building with the exception of the Historic Guardhouse is part of this RFP. Along with the demolition of the building, there will be existing utility service demolition. All of the services to the existing building will be removed and cut and capped at the main. Demolition of the exterior electrical equipment (medium voltage pad-mounted switchgear, pad-mounted transformer, generator, and automatic transformer switch) will be removed by Dominion Energy. Demolition of telecommunications duct bank and cabling from existing manhole unknown D to the Patton Hall 5-foot line. New electrical and communications services will need to be established to the guardhouse in order for it to be occupiable. The excavated area from the removal of the Patton Hall building and lower level, should be backfilled with suitable material, compacted, and seeded. The area should be graded with slopes at a maximum of 5:1 with positive drainage towards the existing or proposed storm drainage system. Preserve or improve upon stormwater flow ensuring not to add stormwater flow into the pool area. Depending on the location of the new facility, the existing parking lot may be demolished along with Custer Road and associated concrete retaining wall. Following the demolition of Building 214, it will be necessary to install a new fence to secure the pool area and ensure continuity with the existing fencing. Perform a structural assessment of the existing foundations at the interface between the existing Guardhouse and the Patton Hall building prior to demolition to establish a demolition plan that ensures the Guardhouse foundations will not be undermined at any point during the demolition process. If determined necessary by structural analysis, provide underpinning for the guardhouse foundations. At the completion of demolition, the Guardhouse walls foundations will have the same or higher load bearing capacity as they did prior to demolition. Any foundation or basement wall for which loading is increased after demolition must be analyzed in accordance with International Existing Building Code (IEBC) and strengthened as required to meet code requirements. This includes Guardhouse basement walls that may experience an increase in lateral earth pressure when the adjacent demolished Patton Hall building basement is backfilled with earth fill.

Depending on the location of the new facility, several mature trees are located within the LOW that may need to be removed. Due to the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) and the Tri-colored bat (TCB) and their status on the Endangered Species List, tree clearing will be limited to the non-active, overwintering season November 15 – April 1.

3.4 NEW CONSTRUCTION SITE LAYOUT GUIDELINES

The new site layout will be required to be within the LOW shown on CS100 Site Plan in Appendix B.

According to the Installation Planning Standards and DPW, a minimum separation of twelve feet between buildings is required. The minimum building separation distance will be governed by the DBT. At the conclusion of the project, within the LOW, a minimum of 107 parking spaces must be provided to preserve the existing capability. The proposed parking layout is required to be per UFC 3-201-01 Civil Engineering and Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA) Pamphlet 55-17 with 9-foot wide by 18.5-foot-long standard ninety-degree parking spaces. Additionally, parking has to comply with current ABA guidelines. Parking lot pavement markings will be provided in accordance with SDDCTEA Pamphlet 55-17 and the Manual on Uniform Traffic

14 | P a g e

Control Devices (MUTCD) including the Department of Defense supplement to the MUTCD. Any existing pavement that will be reused to satisfy the parking lot authorization must be milled and overlaid with a minimum 1.5-inch asphalt surfacing.

The parking area may be constructed of asphalt, concrete, or pervious surface. The parking lot will be bound by concrete barrier curb with concrete curb and gutter in areas that provide a stormwater flow path.

The pavement thickness has to be in accordance with the project geotechnical report, designed with the Pavement-Transportation Computer Assisted Structural Engineering (PCASE) software, and in accordance with UFC 3-250-01 Pavement Design for Roads and Parking Areas.

A 20-foot-wide drop-off lane is to be provided at the main entrance to the proposed building. The queue length should accommodate a minimum of three vehicles (approximately 60 feet). The drop-off area at the building should have a covered canopy that allows for the drop-off lane and entrance to be undercover. The canopy should be tall enough to accommodate emergency vehicles. The drop-off lane can also serve as emergency vehicle access to the building. The drop-off lane access should be coordinated with the ATO.

Pedestrian circulation must be provided that connects the parking lot to the new building and existing pedestrian facilities. Sidewalks is to be a minimum of 4-inch-thick Portland cement concrete that are a minimum of 4-foot wide in typical pedestrian areas and a minimum of 6-foot wide in main sidewalks with higher pedestrian traffic areas. Sidewalks are to comply with ABA guidelines and provide an accessible path connecting the main entrance, ABA parking spaces, main sidewalk network, and site amenities.

Because the building will include a full kitchen facility, an external receiving area sized to accommodate a large box truck for delivery of goods is required for this facility. The receiving area adjacent drive should accommodate the turning radii of the large box truck. The receiving area will require security with access control for vehicles to be able to drive up to the building.

Betterments - Enlarged drop-off lanes and larger canopy to accommodate more vehicles; longer queue drop-off length, recessed loading dock and dock leveler, landscaping; exterior gathering space with outdoor seating; and additional parking.

3.5 EXISTING FACILITIES

The Guardhouse located on the west side of Patton Hall Building 214 is to remain operational.

Demolition of Building 214 will require structural stabilization of the Guardhouse as well as restoration of utility service and building envelope restoration. The Guardhouse must be occupiable at the conclusion of this project. Additionally, the existing swimming pool area is to remain and have access during the operational months.

The green field to the east of the existing parking lot is a Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) permitted green space. If development occurs in this area resulting in reduced permitted green space, the permitted area will require modification or relocation and must be reestablished in an alternative location. This will be in addition to the VDEQ pollutant reduction requirements established for this project. This will need to be coordinated with installation staff and VDEQ. The Pollutant reduction credits obtained in the permitted green space are listed below. The existing Stormwater permitting documents and the Fort Myer Tennis Court Demolition Plan can be seen in Appendix C.

• Total Nitrogen: 5.59 lbs/year

• Total Phosphorus: 1.61 lbs/year

• Total Suspended Solids (TSS): 1,624.40 lbs/year

3.6 GRADING

Grading for the site must direct water towards new or existing drainage features and away from impervious site features. Grading must not result in low spots that hold or direct water towards new or existing site features. Grading for the project has to comply with applicable sections of UFC 3-201-01 Civil Engineering. The Finished First Floor Elevation is required to be 6 inches higher than adjacent ground. The grading should provide positive drainage throughout meeting UFC required minimum and maximum grades as shown in Table 2-2. The grading is to be integral with the storm water management plan.

3.7 UTILITIES

The existing utilities within the LOW consist of water, wastewater, stormwater collection, electric, telecommunications, and natural gas. Existing site utility drawings are provided in Appendix B.

Equipment and connection costs for the privatized utilities will be paid directly to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) by United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE); it will not be the responsibility of the Contractor to contract directly with the private utility provider for the utility installations and/or connections in support of this project.

Utilities will need to be restored to the Guardhouse when Building 214 is demolished. Currently there appears to be water and sewer service directly supporting the Guardhouse; all other utilities and building services are provided from Building 214.

The water conveyance system on JBM-HH is owned and operated by the installation. The exiting site is served by a 10-inch water main running parallel along the south side of Patton Hall and the north side of

16 | P a g e

Buffalo Soldier Ave. The 10-inch main has several service connections to Patton Hall and a 4-inch main that connects the swimming pool area. Existing fire hydrants are positioned along Buffalo Solider Ave to the east and the west of Patton Hall. The fire service and hydrant locations are required to comply with UFC 3-600-01 Fire Protection for Facilities with Change 6.

3.9 WASTEWATER

The gravity sanitary sewer system on JBM-HH is owned and operated by the installation. There is a sanitary sewer main that runs along the south side of Patton Hall then gravity flows to the south along Arlington Ave and ultimately to the treatment plant off the installation. Per discussions with DPW, this main is a 6-inch clay pipe that is aged and not adequate for the new sewer connection. There are several sanitary sewer laterals connecting to the rear of the building (north side). There is an 8-inch PVC sanitary sewer located north of Swimming Pool #3 that can provide a potential gravity sewer connection. There is a manhole located at the curve in Custer Road with an invert of 215.66 and a manhole located north of Swimming Pool #3 near Building 203 with an invert of 210.92. To access the manhole near Building 203, the connection can be directional bored between Swimming Pool #2 and Swimming Pool #3.

3.10 ELECTRIC

The existing exterior electrical equipment consists of a 4-way medium voltage pad-mounted switchgear, pad-mounted transformer, automatic transfer switch, and emergency generator. All of the exterior electrical equipment is owned and operated by the base privatized utility company, Dominion Energy.

The sizes of the exterior electrical equipment have been confirmed with Dominion Energy. JBMHH DPW electrical engineer provided an e-letter confirming the medium voltage distribution system is considered reliable in accordance with NFPA 20.

NATURAL GAS

There is a gas main that runs along the north side of Buffalo Soldier Ave. The gas is owned and operated by Washington Gas. Per DWP Utilities contact, the gas main should be adequate to service Patton Hall.

Once the gas equipment is specified, a load sheet should be submitted to Washington Gas, and they will determine the meter size. Once the load sheet is submitted, Washington Gas can verify that the main is adequate.

3.11 COMMUNICATIONS

Building 214, Patton Hall is serviced with incoming fiber optic cable from a manhole located North of the building. Two lines are necessary, one Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET) and one privatized, coordination with both required.

3.12 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, AND

CONSTRUCTION GENERAL PERMIT

Erosion and sediment controls will minimize the discharge of pollutants from earth disturbing activities in conformance with VDEQ. Pre-coordination has occurred with VDEQ, Mr. Chantz Ballard during the RFP development.

a. To meet VDEQ water quality requirements, the purchasing of water quality credits may be utilized in accordance with VDEQ standards. The Contractor’s DOR must take into account the existing permitted pollution reduction (as noted in Section 3.5) for any development within the Dedicated Green Space in addition to the water quality requirements of the new development.

The Contractor and their designer of record are responsible for obtaining Erosion and Sediment Control (E&S) and Stormwater Management Plan (SWM) Plan approval and the Construction General Permit from the Viriginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ). The

17 | P a g e

Contractor is responsible for all permit and/or review fees. The Contractor and their Designer of Record (DOR) are required to be thoroughly knowledgeable of the latest VDEQ E&S and SWM requirements. Design the site to comply with the most recent version of the Virginia Stormwater

Management Handbook, Virginia Runoff Reduction Method (VRRM) for water quality, and VA Code Chapter 875 (9VAC25-875-600) for water quantity.
