CAPITAL INVESTMENT JUSTIFICATION($ in Thousands)Department of the Navy / Research and Development / Space andNaval Warfare Systems CentersMinor Construction: (Cont.)#004 - Minor ConstructionFISCAL YEAR (FY) 2012 BUDGET ESTIMATESFEBRUARY 2011SPAWAR Systems CentersThe "Joint Communication Integrated Facility (JCIF) Improvements, OTC2" (FY10) construction will allow for additional labortory equipment in existing spaces and will result in better floorlayout for improved efficiency and use of HVAC and power. The project will leverage existing infrastructure, augment current capabilities and will provide space for test engineering personnel tooperate in a collaborative environment.The "Building A-33 Cafeteria Renovation" (FY10) project will result in improvements to space layout which will eliminate traffic flow problems. Further, the cooking spaces do not meet healthstandards and do not contain required safety features. Washing and cooking areas are not separated despite regulatory code. This renovation will alleviate the health and safety concerns andimprove dry storage and efficiency.The "Atmospheric Propagation Lab" (FY10) project will construct a new building in the vicinity of Bldg A323. Currently, the Atmospheric Propagation Branch resides in a building that lacksadequate space for the required workforce. It is imperative that the new labortory space be located adjacent to the current permanent building since the building's proximity to the sea surfacerenders it ideal for studying the ocean-atmosphere interface which is the core focus of all activities of the Atmospheric Propagation Branch.The addition of the "Old Town Campus Building 1 Mezzanines" (FY11) will allow the Special Projects and Survey Systems Branch to provide increased space with a greatly improved workingenvironment for engineers and technicians to assemble, test, troubleshoot, repair, stage, and deploy systems to various customers within SSC Pacific. Benefits include convertsion of existing squarefootage previously used as lab space to more productive and useful office space.The "Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) Collaboration Facility" (FY11) has adequate square footage as a lab but currently does not provide this space as usable office space nor is thecurrent configuration efficient and productive. The proposal would convert this lab space into office space.The "Building 600 Cafeteria Renovation" (FY11) project will result in improvements to space layout which will eliminate traffic flow problems. Also, the cooking spaces do not meet healthstandards and do not contain required safety features. Washing and cooking areas are not separated despite regulatory code. This renovation will alleviate the health and safety concerns andimprove dry storage and efficiency.The "Building 1 Cafeteria Renovation" (FY11) project will result in improvements to space layout which will eliminate traffic flow problems. Also, the cooking spaces do not meet health standardsand do not contain required safety features. Washing and cooking areas are not separated despite regulatory code. This renovation will alleviate the health and safety concerns and improve drystorage and efficiency.The primary benefit of the "Naval Ordinance Test Station (NOTS) Pier Improvements" (FY11) is that it will provide a safe mooring for a large vessel at the pier and safe personnel and equipmenttransfer to/from the vessel to/from the pier. This will benefit the customer by allowing work to be completed safely and allow the pier to operate more effectively.The "C4ISR Satellite Facility Guam Renovation, Building 4175" (FY12) will assist in the effort to accomodate the Military build-up on Guam that will take place from FY10 though FY15. Personnelare being hired to support various projects to build C4ISR infrastructure. The effort will allow SPAWARSYSFAC PAC Guam Facility to continue to serve as the premier C4ISR enabler on Guam.The benefits from the "Intelligence Operations Lab, Seaside" (FY12) capital investment would be providing office space in close proximity to the lab facilities and the prevention of overcrowdingamong increased personnel. This additional space would allow for another conference room and areas to brief prospective and current sponsors. The co-location of office space with lab spacewould allow people working in the lab to have office space in close proximity to their work location. This would allow consolidating individuals working these projects into a group, which wouldallow the reuse of existing office space to accommodate the expected growth in the department over the next several of years.Exhibit Fund-9B Capital Investment JustificationMinor Construction
