DC Water Non-Process Facilities Master Plan & Updates

Washington, DC

 

 

DC Water selected Samaha to create a comprehensive master plan for all of the organization ‘s non-process facilities. The master plan included the following DC Water sites:

• Blue Plains

• Main & O

• Fort Reno

• Bryant Street

• Anacostia

 

Samaha authored both DC Water’s 2010 Non-Process Facilities Master Plan and the 2013 update. Samaha has subsequently developed more detailed planning for individual sites (such as the Main & O Campus) and individual buildings (such as the Central Operations Facility). The master planning process included the following tasks:

• Performing detailed field investigations of all sites and buildings containing non-process functions.

• Developing as-built site plans and floor plans for use in planning efforts.

• Interviewing DC Water staff from all departments to determine specific program needs.

• Compiling a detailed program to accommodate current and future personnel, equipment, and vehicles.

• Developing proposed multiple design options to improve future flexibility, efficiency, security, sustainability, and cost control.

• Developing office workstation standards for each employee tier.

• Providing cost estimates and timelines for implementation of proposed options.
