PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

These projects will rehabilitate the existing and provide new men and women shower and toilet areas within the existing facility. Selected AE is expected to assess site conditions, develop the program, create budget and design documents (including the Design Report).

a)  DMA - Rehab Toilet and Showers - Burlington Armory Project This project will consist of expanding the female shower facilities and to include handicapped accessibility within both men and women areas. Work will include upgrading the exterior water service, interior water supply/distribution piping, water heater, electrical, and ventilation systems within these and adjoining areas.

b)  DMA - Rehab Toilet and Showers - Elkhorn Armory Project This project will consist of upgrading and providing new toilet facilities to meet current ADA compliance, upgrading the existing male toilet and shower facilities, expanding the existing Female toilet/shower/locker room facilities, provide new showers, interior water distribution piping, water heater and water conditioner, and provide water-conserving fixtures. Work will also include electrical and ventilation systems within these and adjoining areas.

c)  DMA - Rehab Toilet and Showers - Racine Armory Project This project will consist of upgrading and providing new toilet and shower facilities to meet current ADA compliance for both the male and female. Provide new interior water distribution piping, water heater and water conditioner, and provide water-conserving fixtures. Work will also include electrical and ventilation systems within these and adjoining areas

JUSTIFICATION: The original design of these older armories did not include adequate shower facilities for either males or females nor was handicap accessibility considered. Both full and part-time soldiers are required to pass a physical fitness test annually, and they use the armory facility during the week and on weekends for physical fitness training in preparation for that event. Adequate shower facilities are required in armories so that our male and female soldiers can clean-up after lifting weights and jogging.
