Surveys are necessary to validate the reported data in relation to a specific problem or need, and to assist in providing a credible foundation for plans to improve the use of facilities. Independent Analysis and Third Party Reviews Provides the technical and engineering support analyses, designs, and reviews required to verify, confirm and ensure suitability of construction designs within the project cost estimates. Facilities Engineering Metrication Required to support the transitioning of NASA facilities engineering designs and specifications from the English inch-pound system to metric, as required by Presidential Executive Order 12770 of July 25, 1991. This estimate provides for preparation of PERs, investigations, and project studies related to proposed facility projects in the FY 1998 and FY 1999 Construction of Facilities programs. These reports are required to permit the early and timely development of the most suitable project to meet the stated programmatic and functional needs.
Reports provide basic data, cost estimates and schedules relating to future budgetary proposals.
This request provides for PERs associated with proposed construction. The activity associated with FY 1999 will be confined to the highest priority candidates. This estimate provides for investigations and project studies related to proposed facility projects to be included in the subsequent Construction of Facilities programs. These studies are required to allow for the timely development of projects to meet the stated functional needs and to provide basic data, cost estimates and schedules for related future budgetary proposals. The amount requested will provide for the preparation of designs, plans, drawings, and specifications necessary for the accomplishment of projects.
