    Document: 87th Congress, 1st Session, House of Representatives, Report No. 1125, Public Works Appropriation Bill, 1962, September 6, 1961, page 33 PUBLIC WORKS APPROPRIATIONS, 1962 to eliminate the possibility of overlapping and duplication of effort and to fix responsibilities through control of appropriations where such action will result in savings to the Federal government. EMPLOYEE AND RELOCATION HOUSING AND FACILITIES The continuing increase in the level of construction program of the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation in recent years is bringing into greater significance the cost of employee housing and of relocation of persons and facilities displaced by projects. In an effort to provide some uniformity in an approach to these problems the Committee is adopting the standards for employee housing which have been developed for other agencies of the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service as set out in House Report 233 on the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriation Bill, 1962. Hereafter the employee housing in the United States under both the Bureau of Reclamation program and the Corps of Engineers program, excluding Alaska, shall be limited to a unit cost of 20,000.Thislimitationincludesengineeringanddesigncostsbutexcludesprovisionofutilitiestothelotline.AnyexceptionstothismonetarylimitationshallbesubmittedtotheCommitteeforitsadvancereviewandapproval.Employeehousesshallnotexceedthefollowingstandards:(1)Standardmaterials,millwork,equipment,andfixturesthatarereadilyavailableatlocalsupplycenterswillbeusedinalldwellingconstruction;(2)designwillbesimplewithnofeaturesthatincreasebuildingcostssuchasirregularitiesinroughframing;(3)nottoexceed11/2baths;(4)onestallgarageinareassubjecttodeepsnoworprolongedperiodsofbelowfreezingtemperatures,carportsinwarmerclimates;(5)sunporches,enclosedpatios,orsimilarfeatureswillnotbeprovided;(6)floorareashallnotexceedtwobedroomdwelling,1,250squarefeet;threebedroomdwelling,1,300squarefeet;exclusiveofbasementandgaragespace(orserviceandstoragespaceinlicuofbasement;(7)Nofourbedroomdwellingsshallbepermitted;and(8)fireplaceswillnotbepermittedexceptwhereessentialforadequateheating.WithrespecttotherelocationofdwellingsandfacilitiesofIndiantribes,thesamestandardsasthoseapplicableintheBureauofIndianAffairsforschools,permanentdormitories,andotherfacilitiesshallbeapplicable.SETASIDESFORSMALLBUSINESSTheCommitteetookconsiderabletestimonyonthesocalledsetasideprogramforsmallbusiness,whereincontractsinvalueupto20,000. This limitation includes engineering and design costs but excludes provision of utilities to the lot line. Any exceptions to this monetary limitation shall be submitted to the Committee for its advance review and approval. Employee houses shall not exceed the following standards: (1) Standard materials, millwork, equipment, and fixtures that are readily available at local supply centers will be used in all dwelling construction; (2) design will be simple with no features that increase building costs such as irregularities in rough framing; (3) not to exceed 1 1/2 baths; (4) one stall garage in areas subject to deep snow or prolonged periods of below freezing temperatures, carports in warmer climates; (5) sun porches, enclosed patios, or similar features will not be provided; (6) floor area shall not exceed-two-bedroom dwelling, 1,250 square feet; three-bedroom dwelling, 1,300 square feet; exclusive of basement and garage space (or service and storage space in licu of basement; (7) No four-bedroom dwellings shall be permitted; and (8) fireplaces will not be permitted except where essential for adequate heating. With respect to the relocation of dwellings and facilities of Indian tribes, the same standards as those applicable in the Bureau of Indian Affairs for schools, permanent dormitories, and other facilities shall be applicable. SET-ASIDES FOR SMALL BUSINESS The Committee took considerable testimony on the so-called setaside program for small business, wherein contracts in value up to 500,000 are advertised only to those bidders who qualify as small businesses. Under this program the Corps and the Bureau have been directed not only to limit contracts of 500,000andundertothosequalifyingassmallbusinesses,buttosplituplargercontractswhereeverpossibletobringthemwithinthe500,000 and under to those qualifying as small businesses, but to split up larger contracts whereever possible to bring them within the 500,000 limit. It is obvious that the application of this program to the work of the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation could result in increased costs. Artificially limiting the number of bidders on contracts would normally result in higher bids over a period of time than if there were unlimited competition in the bidding. In addition the administrative costs in execution of a program of this natureEpson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 1,783,797 byte
