Guidelines for Technical Evaluation of Existing Facilities (Capital Facilities Study)
This guide provides standards and operating procedures for comprehensive technical evaluations of VA facilities built before 1970. The guide is intended to assist A/E and VA personnel in determining the present condition of facilities and in assessing costs to restore and maintain them in first-class condition for a projected useful life of 25 years, assuming continuation in the present occupancy of buildings. The guide provides steps to be taken by evaluation personnel for checking, surveying, and testing of existing plants; performing physical analyses of buildings and their associated systems; and preparing cost estimates in compliance with current VA standards, fire and safety codes, JCAH and seismic requirements, and elimination of asbestos materials that may be disturbed by renovation or demolition. In addition to evaluation plans, objective standards, and evaluation procedures, chapters are devoted to detailed instructions for technical evaluation in the following categories: Site review and evaluation; architectural; equipment; structural; fire protection; heating, ventilating and air conditioning; plumbing and sanitary; steam generation systems; outside steam distribution; electrical; automatic transport systems; and estimating. The guide concludes with requirements for submission to the VA management of reports on findings, physical analyses, recommendations, and cost estimates.
