OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE KEY PRINCIPLES

1. Accessibility - The ease of which a product can be serviced

2. Reliability - The ability of a system or component to function under stated conditions

3. Durability - The ability to withstand wear, pressure or damage

4. Maintainability - The ease of which a product can be repaired

5. Cleanability - The ease of which a product can be cleaned

DESIGN GUIDE RESOURCES

FINAL CONCEPT

The final concept must show that the developed scheme can achieve the program, the requirements of P100, the space requirements and the budget. Major materials, both interior and exterior, structure, fenestration, and building systems must be well defined. Life cycle costing of the proposed building systems must be accomplished to determine the most cost-effective alternatives.

The concept phase is conducted to focus on the macro level elements of the design. These elements include, but are not limited to, siting, building massing, and environmental and community impacts and concerns. Most decisions about the space allocation and building performance requirements should have already been determined in the Program of Requirements, but revisited in this design phase. Details of specific equipment and materials selections will be explored in the next phase, not here.

De-icing (Rock Salt Usage) - Minimize use of rock salt where advantageous and replace it with a heat melt system. NIC

Horizontal Surfaces (Shaded areas) - Areas located in shade for extended periods of time should contain materials that are easily cleaned and reduce soiling. Areas in shade for extended period of time leads to black mold, mildew and other stains NIC

Limestone - Limestone has a high absorption rate which results in an accelerated soiling and discoloration. Limestone should not be used. NIC

Marble (Northern Climates) - Marble creates a slipping hazard in Northern Climates in the winter. Marble should not be used. NIC

Pavers (Climate) - Will the proposed pavers create a slip, trip or fall hazard during all climates for that location? How will this paver react to freeze/thaw cycles? NIC

Pavers (Site Pavers) - Pavers should be used sparingly due to the maintenance concerns with weeds, freeze and thaw effects. NIC

Surfaces near water features - Ensure that proposed surfaces near water features will not create slipping hazards when wet. NIC

ABAAS Slope Compliance - Do all surface slopes meet Federal and State ABAAS requirements? This includes general parking areas, sidewalks, ABAAS parking to ensure that water flows away from the building, and eliminates ponding of water. NIC

Delivery Routes - Does the route for deliveries require vehicles to to pass under canopies or evade oncoming traffic? If so, rework the design for the delivery route. NIC

Electric Vehicles - Clearly identify the number of Electric Vehicles this project needs and the space required for the charging stations. NIC

Flagpoles (Location) - Does your project require a Flagpole? NIC

Grading (Building Elevation) - Confirm 6" elevation separation between the finish grade next to the building and the ground level finish floor for moisture protection. NIC

Grading (Interior courtyard doors) - Ensure that all grading moves water away from the building entrance and walls. NIC

Site Security

Bollards, Hydraulic and Wedge Barriers - These should be used sparingly as they have a history of being problematic and inoperable. Electric bollards are preferred.

Noted, will be incorporated if applicable

Bollards, Hydraulic and Wedge Barriers (Northern Climate) - Snow and ice accumulates within the mechanism and prevents a complete cycle for these Security features and causes maintenance issues. Use of hydraulic bollards in cold weather with infrequent cycling requires special provisions to keep the hydraulic fluid warm enough to circulate. Use electrically powered bollards and wedge barriers instead.

Noted, will be incorporated if applicable

Site Bollards (Northern Climate) - Site bollards should be capped to ensure that the concrete is not exposed to environmental elements. In colder climates concrete extends upwards as a result of accumulated and freezing water within the steel pipe casing which reduces the resistance of each bollard
