6.1.1 Demolition Program. The following are the Agency's Demolition Program objectives:
a. Eliminate underutilized and obsolete facilities that are no longer required for NASA's missions.
b. Eliminate inactive facilities identified as "abandoned" in NASA's Real Property Management System (RPMS) that pose a safety and/or environmental liability to onsite personnel and neighboring entities.
c. Ensure that NASA's field Centers comply with Federal mandates and NPD 8820.2 requirements to reduce total square footage and total Current Replacement Value (CRV).
d. Reduce the cost of ownership of NASA facilities by eliminating nonproductive operating and maintenance expenses.
6.1.2 Consolidation Program. This is a program consisting of projects that relocate one or more functions (e.g., personnel, equipment, storage spaces, laboratories) from NASA-owned buildings that will be demolished to underutilized spaces in another NASA-owned buildings that are planned to remain active. The Consolidation Program scope includes the demolition of the vacated building(s) and the modifications (improvements, rehabilitation, reconfiguration) of the receiving building(s). The Consolidation Program is a subset of the Agency's Demolition Program.
6.2.1 ADPM. The ADPM resides within FRED and has duties as defined in Section 1.5.2.4.
6.2.2 CDPM. Each of the 10 Centers will have a designated CDPM with duties as defined in Section 1.5.3.2. The CDPM also will be responsible for managing the Demolition Program for any of the Center's component facilities.
6.2.3 Others. Execution of the Demolition Program requires close coordination with other key individuals including the Center Cultural Resource Manager (CRM), the CNM, the FUO, the RPAO, the Center Property Disposal Manager (for tagged equipment), the Center Master Planner, the Center AHJ, and the Center Institutional Safety Discipline Leads.
6.3.1 Candidate properties for future disposal are initially compiled at the Center level by CDPMs, RPAOs, FUOs, and Master Planners. In addition, Agency Portfolio Managers should be consulted regarding candidate facilities and equipment to be considered for disposal, per NPR 8600.1. The Center's Facility Utilization Review Board (FURB), as defined in NPR 8800.15, then will review the initial list and approve which properties are to be submitted to FRED. An Agency governance council (per NPD 1000.3, The NASA Organization) will then review and approve the candidate properties for inclusion in the Agency Disposal List. RPAOs will identify these properties in the RPMS by entering an anticipated disposal date.
6.3.2 Candidate properties. Properties on the Agency Disposal List may include the following:
a. Disposals mandated by an Agency governance council.
b. Offsets to new acquisitions.
c. Abandoned facilities as defined in the RPMS.
d. Disposals identified in the AMP and the approved Center Master Plan.
e. Facilities irreparably damaged in natural disasters.
f. Other planned disposal actions (e.g., termination of leases, transfers, sale).
6.3.3 Centers may request the removal of facilities from the Agency Disposal List by submitting a letter, signed by the Center Director, to the Director of FRED. The letter needs to include compelling reasons that show such disposal would adversely affect the Agency's mission. Conditions for approving properties for removal from the list include:
a. Properties mandated by the Agency governance council. Centers will seek approval for removal of the property from the Disposal List by the same Agency governance council that originally mandated the disposal.
b. Properties identified in the approved Center Master Plan. The Center Master Plan will be updated and reviewed/approved by the Agency governance council according to a cycle defined in NPR 8810.1.
c. Property disposal offsets for new acquisitions. The Center Director will identify other disposal offsets of equivalent or greater footprint than the originally proposed disposal property or of a CRV equal to or greater than the originally proposed disposal property.
d. Properties identified as "abandoned" in the RPMS. The Center Director will identify an alternate facility sustainment method (e.g., funding for M&O and repairs for the anticipated life of the facility and
for the ultimate facility demolition provided by organizations other than NASA's Office of Strategic Infrastructure).
e. Properties irreparably damaged in natural disasters. These properties cannot be removed from the Agency Disposal List.
6.4.1 Once facilities are identified as "abandoned" in the RPMS, they will be physically secured in accordance with the criteria specified in NPR 8800.15 until demolition. The Center AHJ will determine the level of maintenance required for abandoned facilities (e.g., preventative maintenance of life safety systems, fire suppression systems, security systems) to minimize risks to personnel and surrounding facilities. Execution of the physical security measures are usually performed by the Center's Maintenance and Operations organization.
6.5.1 The CDPM will begin preparing for demolition by ensuring that alternatives to demolition are properly explored and that the required Center approvals are obtained.
6.5.1.1 Candidate properties for demolition need to be evaluated for alternative use in accordance with the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. § 11301 et seq. The CDPM and the RPAO shall submit a draft of the Title V - Property Survey, Federal Property Information Checklist to FRED via the FRED-approved database. FRED will then submit the document to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for review/approval. HUD will inform FRED if the property is to be considered for alternate use or if property disposal can commence. For more information, see NPR 8800.15.
6.5.1.2 Candidate properties for demolition are to be evaluated for historic eligibility according to NHPA, 54 USC § 300101 and per NPR 8510.1. If deemed historic, the CDPM will conduct an analysis to evaluate alternatives to demolition, including adaptive reuse of the property, and submit the analysis to the Center CRM to include in consultation materials. Demolition may not begin until the Center CRM has confirmed completion of the NHPA, Section 106 review process (see Section 2.3.6).
6.5.1.3 Upon completion of the evaluation of demolition alternatives, the CDPM and the RPAO shall submit a formal Authority to Dispose/Demolish letter to the Center Director for signature. This signed letter will then be issued to the Director of FRED in accordance with the requirements outlined in NPR 8800.15, Disposition of Real Property.
6.5.1.4 Existing facility demolition projects required to offset the amount of new building footprint constructed from an Institutional CoF Renewal project or a Program-Direct CoF project will be at least 25 percent greater than the area in square feet of the new facility (per NPD 8820.2 requirements). Demolition offsets should be clearly identified in the Center Master Plan.
a. The cost of demolition of these offset facilities will be included in the Renewal (or Program-Direct) project's AFPCE and identified in the Renewal (or Program-Direct) project's business case.
b. The approval and documentation requirements for these demolition offsets are the same as any demolition project (refer to Section 6.5.1).
c. On a case-by-case basis, the use of Institutional CoF Demolition Program funds may be allowed to demolish these offsets upon approval of the Director of FRED via the formal submission of a waiver document.
6.6.1 In accordance with the NASA PPBE cycle, the ADPM will issue a formal call to the Centers each year for candidate demolition and consolidation projects and for the development of an Agency five- year Demolition Plan. Mission Directorate POCs and Agency Portfolio Managers also will be copied on this data call. The CDPM will respond to the data call by uploading the required data in the FRED- approved database. (See Appendix H for required data call deliverables).
6.6.1.1 The annual data call includes a Demolition Prioritization Procedure Document, which provides a process for how Centers will submit candidate demolition projects and the criteria used by the FRED to prioritize the submitted projects to maximize the use of limited resources.
6.6.2 The five-year Demolition Plan, a subset of the Agency Disposal List (see Section 6.3), is the near- term disposal strategy for the Agency's Demolition Program. This plan, which is updated annually, identifies all facilities that can be demolished within a specified five-year window regardless of demolition funding source. The CDPM shall identify the earliest demolition date for candidate projects within the five-year period and identify any schedule constraints. In addition, the following information should be included for each candidate facility:
a. Measured gross area (square feet).
b. CRV.
c. M&O cost.
d. Earliest demolition year.
e. Demolition/Disposal Cost.
f. Demolition project score (according to the criteria issued in the Demolition Prioritization Procedure Document).
6.6.3 Other Required Documents. For projects to be executed in the first year of the five-year Demolition Plan, the CDPM shall submit a project narrative, form NF-1509, the Approved Authority to Dispose/Demolish Letter, and the HUD Screening Documentation via the FRED-approved database. For projects demolishing properties with a CRV greater than $20 million, additional documentation may be requested by the ADPM. Consolidation projects require the completion of a worksheet that includes quantitative and qualitative measures for project advocacy.
6.7.1 FPMs for Demolition projects will use NASA's centrally established U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) demolition services or regional multiple award construction contracts (MACCs) to the largest extent possible in lieu of procuring individual contracts.
6.7.2 The CPDM shall utilize the Demolition Planning Checklist (see Appendix G) to create a Demolition Project Management Plan.
6.7.3 Demolition funding requests.
6.7.3.1 Design Funding. One to two years in advance of the year of execution, the CDPM may request Demolition Program funding for the design of demolition projects. This is accomplished by submitting form NF-1509 in the FRED-approved database.
6.7.3.2 Demolition Funding. The CDPM shall request funding for the demolition of facilities by submitting updated form NF-1509 in the FRED-approved database and other documentation as identified by the ADPM.
6.7.4 Environmental and Cultural Resource Planning and Compliance. Demolition projects will comply with the same requirements as other Institutional CoF projects. Refer to Section 2.3.6, Environmental Compliance and Cultural Resource Requirements.
6.7.4.1 All disposals/demolition require the FPM to coordinate with the CNM and the CRM as early as possible in formulation to ensure that all environmental requirements are met.
6.7.4.2 The FPM shall complete an Environmental Checklist, as detailed in Chapter 2, to ensure compliance to NEPA, NHPA, and other environmental compliance requirements.
6.7.5 Prior to implementation, the FPM will ensure an evaluation is conducted to review the operational history of the real property to identify potential environmental issues and risks, including identification of hazardous substances (e.g., asbestos, lead, mercury) for removal as part of the disposal process.
6.7.6 Salvage Material Inventory/Diversion Plan. The FPM will ensure that the demolition contract documents clearly identify all potential salvage materials (e.g., materials such as steel or copper that can be sold) associated with the project. The Government cost estimate should include the salvage values of these materials and account for how this will offset the total cost of demolition. The demolition contract documents should also ensure that any all-other recyclable materials are identified (e.g., those materials that are not of salvage value). One of the primary goals of the Government is to minimize the amount of material going to a landfill.
6.7.7 Pollution Prevention and Hazardous Material Abatement Plan. The FPM will ensure that pollution prevention and hazardous material abatement/remediation issues are addressed as part of decommissioning. Potential environmental risks associated with the work could include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Hazardous waste disposal.
b. Run off/erosion.
c. Underground storage tank systems.
d. Damage to wetlands.
e. Modification of floodplains.
6.7.8 Twelve to twenty-four months before the start of demolition execution, the CDPM or FPM will develop a Personal Property Reuse Plan that ensures all tagged equipment, personal property, and other artifacts within the facility to be reused, excessed, and/or demolished are clearly identified and cataloged. This activity requires coordination with the CRM, the Center Property Disposal Officer(s), and Mission Directorate POCs to whom the personal property is assigned. Disposal of this property needs to conform to NPR 4300.1, NASA Personal Property Disposal Procedural Requirements.
6.7.9 The CDPM or FPM will ensure that demolition impacts to utilities, roads, other facilities, and security are investigated and evaluated a minimum of 24 months prior to the start of execution. Demolition of a facility may remove either the supply of or the demand for essential services (e.g., domestic water, natural gas, roads, parking lots), requiring modifications to associated systems. Fire and Safety Systems decommissioning need to be coordinated and approved by the AHJ.
6.7.10 The CDPM or the FPM shall ensure that a Safety Baseline Survey that conforms with NPR 8800.15, Chapter 7 is performed as part of the decommissioning process.
6.7.11 Twelve months prior to the start of demolition, the CDPM or the FPM shall communicate information about the proposed demolition and the associated impacts to Center stakeholders.
6.7.12 The CDPM, in consultation with the ADPM, will consider using the Agency's centralized contract services for the execution of demolition. If this is not a cost-effective option, alternative contract services can be obtained as defined in Section 4.2.
6.7.13 Upon completion of a demolition project, the FPM shall submit form NF-1046 to the RPAO. For partial demolition projects, the FPM will need to include the details of the portion of the property that was demolished and the cost for the demolition. The FPM will consult with RPAO on when to consider issuing the NF-1046 based on the disposition and percent completion of the property.
6.8.1 The Director of FRED can incentivize disposals by rewarding Centers with demonstrated success, progress, and commitment to their planned disposals. Incentives may include the following:
a. Allocation of additional CoF funds to be applied toward approved local authority projects.
b. Allocation of additional demolition funds to be used toward other approved demolition projects.
c. Use of Institutional Demolition funds for the following costs:
(1) Demolition of offsets for new acquisitions.
(2) Modification of existing spaces to accommodate displaced functions (personnel, equipment, storage, laboratories, or other). This is addressed via Consolidation Projects.
(3) Relocation and reactivation of utilities and related personal property/collateral equipment.
(4) Adaptive Reuse studies. Adaptive Reuse is defined as the "process of repurposing existing buildings for uses other than those they were built or designed for while retaining their historic features".
6.8.2 Centers demonstrate their demolition success, progress, and commitment by the following:
a. Conformance to the master planning Affordability policy.
b. Compliance with the most current AMP footprint reduction plans.
c. Completion of a "dispositioning review" within the last five years with the results of that review incorporated into the Agency Disposal List.
d. Achieving 95 percent or greater demolition program obligation for the FY prior to the FY under consideration. Using the Agency Disposal List as the basis, achieving either/or:
(1) 95 percent or greater achievement of planned square footage disposal for facilities measured in square feet.
(2) 95 percent or greater achievement of planned CRV reduction for facilities not measured in square feet.
