RECOVERY - XUMU951041C - Construct Storage at Fire Station #1

TAS::57 3404::TAS ARRA XUMU 95-1041C, Construct Storage at Fire Station1, fully funded by Recovery Act.

Work efforts for this project will construct a new storage facility for the Fire Station 1 at VAFB, CA. The area along the Northeast side of building 1740 will be modified to provide a more functional storage unit and court yard area. The work will include removal of miscellaneous items in the area including the cooking grill and benches. The temporary storage building will be moved to another location at the fire station. The area will be cleared and all vegetation removed. The existing sprinkler system in the area will be removed and a new sprinkler system will be installed once the new structures are in place. The existing concrete slabs at the courtyard area will also be removed. The concrete located under the generator will remain in place but a section will be cut and removed to make way for the masonry walls. In addition, the existing concrete walkway will be removed as required to allow for the new structures. A new storage facility will be constructed using 8" x 8" x 16" smooth faced CMU. The storage facility will be 20' x 20 x 13'-10" tall. The block walls will be solid grouted, steel reinforced and placed atop a substantial steel reinforced concrete footing and slab on grade. The slab will be 6" thick and steel reinforced. A 10' wide x 8' high metal roll up door will be installed on the east facing wall of the new structure. The existing irrigation system will be modified to accommodate the construction described above. New lighting will be sufficient to illuminate entire storage room. Concrete walkways and courtyards will be placed. A double barbeque pit will be constructed and the pit walls will be solid grouted, steel reinforced and placed atop a substantial steel reinforced concrete footing.
