Supporting Document for Rehabilitation Cost Estimates of FEMA Existing Buildings

H. S. Lew

This report presents the results of seismic evaluation and cost estimates carried out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for rehabilitation of existing buildings owned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA owns 137 buildings. Of these, 125 buildings are located in Maryland and Virginia (low seismic regions). Ten buildings were selected for evaluation, of which seven are located in Maryland and Virginia, two in Massachusetts (moderate seismic region), and one in Washington (high seismic region). Rehabilitation costs for the non-evaluated buildings were derived from the rehabilitation costs of the evaluated buildings. The location of buildings is considered in the estimation of the rehabilitation cost. The cost estimates are also adjusted to 1998.
