FSML Repair and Restoration of Existing Housing Used for Visiting Scientists and Graduate Students at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography

斯基德韦海洋研究所是佐治亚州大学系统的一个独立的小型研究单位，有15名研究人员和40名长期支助人员。该中心成立于1967年，任务是在海洋学和海洋科学的所有领域开展研究，并作为乔治亚州任何研究和教育机构的业务基地和中央设施。这一任务和研究所偏远的原始地理位置，对沿海和大陆架水域都很方便，保证了来访的科学家和学生源源不断地涌入，寻求进入斯基德韦最先进的研究设施、可到达的研究地点，以及与斯基德韦跨学科和国际公认的研究人员合作的机会。四个较老的住房单元至少有50年的历史，需要进行实质性的维修和恢复，以保持其目前的宜居性。该项目的必要任务包括：更换所有四个机组的老旧瓦片屋顶；拆除化粪池系统中的三个机组并将其连接到下水道系统；更换一个机组的窗户；重新安装和绝缘两个机组；使所有四个机组达到消防安全标准，包括安装防火墙和硬接线火警；将电气服务升级到两个机组；更换两个机组破旧的厨房和卫生间设施；完成所有四个机组的管道升级。

The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography is a small, autonomous research unit of the University System of Georgia, with 15 research faculty and 40 permanent support staff. It was established in 1967 with the mandate to conduct research in all fields of oceanography and the marine sciences and to serve as a base of operations and central facility for any of the research and educational institutions in the State of Georgia. This mandate and the Institute's remote pristine location, convenient to coastal and shelf waters, guarantee a constant influx of visiting scientists and student seeking access to Skidaway's state-of-the-art research facilities, accessible research locations, and opportunities for collaboration with Skidaway's interdisciplinary and internationally-recognized research faculty. Four older housing units are at least fifty years old and are in need of substantial repair and restoration to maintain their current habitability. Among the necessary tasks for this project are: replacing the elderly shingle roofs of all four units; removing three units from septic tank systems and connecting them to the sewer system; replacing windows in one unit; re-siding and insulating two units; bringing all four unit up to code in fire safety with the inclusion of firewalls and hardwired fire alarms; upgrading electrical service to two units; replacing decrepit kitchen and bathroom facilities in two units; and completing plumbing upgrades in all four units.
