Automated Multipurpose Machine Gun Range (MPMG) Project - Specifications Document
This document comprises technical specifications issued for construction design of an Automated Multipurpose Machine Gun (MPMG) Range project for the Oregon Military Department at Northwest Swiftwater Training Facility (NWSTF) Boardman, Oregon, with Contract No. 410133C001 and Project No. PN 92139. The specifications, issued for construction on November 22, 2024, establish comprehensive requirements for all building systems including structural steel, concrete, masonry, metal fabrication, roofing, exterior and interior walls, doors, hardware, glazing, flooring, gypsum board, insulation, air barriers, sealants, and painting. The project involves construction of a complete military training facility with multiple building structures, including control buildings, operations buildings, and equipment storage areas, requiring coordination across numerous construction trades and specializations. The document details design team members including Civil Engineer Dayne Weierbach, P.E.; Architect Geoffrey Parker, AIA; Structural Engineer Jimmy Bliss, P.E.; Electrical Engineer Zachary Rush, P.E.; Mechanical Engineer LeAnna Reynolds, P.E.; and Registered Communications Distribution Designer Alan Gregg, P.E., RCDD.
The specifications establish detailed performance standards, material requirements, quality assurance procedures, and execution requirements across thirty-three divisions of construction work, incorporating references to over two hundred industry standards and regulations including ASTM, NFPA, AWS, UL, and various manufacturer specifications. The project requires adherence to environmental regulations, sustainability requirements including recycled content specifications for materials, indoor air quality certifications, asbestos-free materials, and low-VOC product requirements. Specifications mandate government approval for multiple submittals including shop drawings, product data, design calculations, test reports, and certifications. The document establishes detailed requirements for contractor qualifications, testing protocols, quality control programs, field inspection procedures, and warranty obligations extending from material manufacturers. All work must comply with applicable fire codes, accessibility standards, and structural design requirements per ASCE 7-16 and other referenced standards, with specific attention to wind load resistance, thermal performance, and weather protection systems critical to a military training facility operating in Oregon's climate conditions.

1.2 DEFINITIONS
a. "Cementitious material" as used herein must include all portland cement, pozzolan, fly ash, slag cement.
b. "Exposed to public view" means situated so that it can be seen from eye level from a public location after completion of the building. A public location is accessible to persons not responsible for operation or maintenance of the building.
c. "Chemical admixtures" are materials in the form of powder or fluids that are added to the concrete to give it certain characteristics not obtainable with plain concrete mixes.
d. "Supplementary cementing materials" (SCM) include coal fly ash, slag cement, natural or calcined pozzolans, and ultra-fine coal ash when used in such proportions to replace the portland cement that result in improvement to sustainability and durability and reduced cost.
e. "Design strength" (f'c) is the specified compressive strength of concrete at time(s) specified in this section to meet structural design criteria.
f. "Mass Concrete" is any concrete system that approaches a maximum temperature of 158 degrees F within the first 72 hours of placement.
In addition, it includes all concrete elements with a section thickness of 3 feet or more regardless of temperature.
g. "Mixture proportioning" is the process of designing concrete mixture proportions to enable it to meet the strength, service life and constructability requirements of the project while minimizing the initial and life-cycle cost.
h. "Mixture proportions" are the masses or volumes of individual ingredients used to make a unit measure (cubic meter or cubic yard) of concrete.
SECTION 03 30 00 Page 5
i. "Pozzolan" is a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material, which in itself possesses little or no cementitious value but will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties.
j. "Workability (or consistence)" is the ability of a fresh (plastic) concrete mix to fill the form/mould properly with the desired work (vibration) and without reducing the concrete's quality. Workability depends on water content, chemical admixtures, aggregate (shape and size distribution), cementitious content and age (level of hydration).
