Architectural Compatibility and Base Design Standards Andersen Air Force Base, Guam

Commander’s Statement

I am proud to present the updated Andersen Air

Force Base’s Architectural Compatibility and Base Design Standards. As Andersen Air Force Base continues the largest build-up since its construction, we have established a clear vision and expectations governing the appearance of our facilities, landscaping, and overall environment.

These standards guide the development of our air base, aiding us in maintaining architectural compatibility. It is important to note that compatibility is not the same as uniformity. We do not want all of our facilities to appear the same. Rather, we seek to create a visually appealing base that uses architectural relationships to create a connection to the environment.

Aesthetically pleasing, low maintenance, cost effective facilities and landscaping of a consistent design character are our priority. Maintaining standards ensures consistency and excellence in the design of Andersen Air Force Base; a base that is more than just buildings and infrastructure, it is a well-planned community and our home. These standards ensure we provide a high quality working and living environment in support of our mission and benefit our most important asset, our Air Force family.

These architectural and landscape design standards create an environment that promotes excellence and pride in where we live and work. I encourage all members of Team Andersen to become familiar with our standards and employ them as we invest in Andersen’s future.

1-1 and Base Design Standards

Introduction

1.0 Purpose

The purpose of the Architectural Compatibility and Base Design Standards is to establish a realization of consistency and excellence in the design of Andersen Air Force Base facilities, and to minimize impacts of construction on base by contractor activities, such as contractor vehicles and parking on site. This goal requires clear communication in planning, design and execution of architectural, civil, mechanical, electrical, paving and landscaping standards, and expectations. The Architectural Compatibility and Base Design Standards was developed to promote a high quality working and local living environment in support of the base mission.

The Architectural Compatibility and Base Design Standards is intended to function as a working design guide that establishes and documents design and procedural standards. This standard provides macroscopic guidance to designers and builders to ensure that functional and aesthetic consistency is achieved. This document is not intended to serve as construction specifications.

Any deviation from these standards requires written approval from the Base Civil Engineer.

1.1 Philosophy

Life quality, productivity, and morale are all directly influenced by the physical appearance of Andersen Air Force Base. Andersen Air Force Base is one of the largest military airfields in the world, with more than 19,025 acres, 1,682 buildings, and more than 6,311 personnel. Therefore, dedication to the functional adequacy and maintenance of our workplace facilities and living environments is a necessary component to continued success on Base. Aesthetically pleasing, low maintenance facilities and landscaping of a consistent design character are a priority at the Base and each of these considerations should be implemented for all projects.

1-2 and Base Design Standards

Tarague Embayment

1.2 Geography

Andersen Air Force Base is located on the northern tip on the island of Guam. Guam is approximately 30 miles in length with a variable width ranging from 12 miles to 4 miles at its narrowest point. Approximately 212 square miles, excluding reef formations, the island has two basic geological components. The central and northern features are primarily raised limestone plateaus with several volcanic formations at Mount Santa Rosa and Mount Mataguak. The northern cliff line drops precipitously into the sea with an elevation ranging from 300 to 600 feet. The southern features are volcanic with an elongated mountain ridge dividing the inland valleys and coastline. The highest point is Mount Lamlam with an elevation of 1,334 feet.

1.3 Climate

Guam’s climate is pleasantly warm year-round. The mean annual temperature is 81 degrees.

Generally, the temperature range is from the low 70’s to the middle 80’s. The coolest and least humid months, marked by prevailing westerly trade winds, are December through February. The annual rainfall totals 80 to 110 inches. There are two seasons: the dry and the rainy. The dry season, “fanummangen”, begins in December and continues through June. The rainy season, “fanuchanan”, falls within all remaining months. The island’s climate is corrosive in nature due to the presence of ambient salt water vapor in the air.

1.4 Responsibility for Compliance

The Andersen Air Force Base Installation Commander has approval authority of facilities standards. The 36th Civil Engineer Squadron (36 CES) is responsible for compliance to the Standard, regardless of how the work is accomplished.

2 -1 and Base Design Standards

Entry Gate

Forms and Policies

2.0 Access Protocol

Security on Andersen Air Force Base is an absolute priority. Therefore contractors who intend to access the base will be subject to strict clearance requirements.

Each individual will be required to complete special forms and must submit to a criminal background check.

Personal information from each individual requesting base access will be required as requested on the required forms. For MILCON projects, which require significant contractor manpower, the contractor shall make arrangements to bus contractor employees onto the base, directly to the construction site.

Refer to Appendix A.1 – Access Protocol, for additional requirements.

2.1 Work Clearance Request (AF 103)

A work clearance request (AF Form103) is necessary for excavation that breaks the crust of the earth, work that may disrupt aircraft or vehicular traffic flow, base utility (electric, water, sewer, gas) services, or protection provided by fire and intrusion alarm systems. The work clearance request is used to coordinate the required work with key base activities and to keep customer inconvenience to a minimum. It is also used to identify potentially hazardous work conditions in an attempt to prevent accidents. The work clearance request is processed just prior to the start of work. The Contractor is responsible for paying for permits as required for Navy projects on the Andersen Air Force Base.

Refer to Appendix A.2.a – Base Civil Engineer Work Clearance Request (AF Form103), for

2.2 CONSTRUCTION WAIVERS, FREE ZONE REQUESTS, AND CRANE REQUESTS

2.2.1 Temporary Airfield Construction Waivers

Any construction activities impacting the airfield or the imaginary surfaces generated by the airfield environment require a temporary airfield construction waiver. The waiver is generated by the 36thCivil Engineer Squadron (36 CES) Planning Department and includes the waiver request, maps with construction location (with exact coordinates), contractor equipment and personnel lists, an entry into the Air Obstruction Management System (AOMS), and in some instances a request letter for a free zone (refer to Section 2.2.2 below). This information is coordinated through a number of base agencies, most notably the Security Forces Squadron (SFS), Wing Safety (SE), and the Operations Support Squadron (OSS). The request is approved/disapproved by the Installation Commander and typically requires 6-8 weeks of coordination prior to approval.

Refer to Appendix A.2.b – Sample Temporary Airfield Construction Waiver

2.2.2 Free Zone Requests

In some instances, most notably on larger and longer duration construction projects on the airfield, the contractor may request a free zone in conjunction with their temporary airfield construction waiver. A free zone establishes a controlled boundary around a project site which allows the contractor to work freely within without escort. This is extremely advantageous on longer, more complicated projects on the airfield as the base does not need to provide escorts for long durations. Free zone requests are staffed in the same manner as temporary airfield construction waivers, with signatures required of the OSS/CC, SFS/CC, MSG/CC, and the WG/CC. The request format consists of an In-Turn Memorandum endorsed by the aforementioned individuals with maps and site plans attached to the request. Typical processing timeline is similar to temporary airfield construction waivers (6-8 weeks).

Refer to Appendix A.2.c – Sample Free Zone Request Letter

2.2.3 Crane Requests

Any activity that requires the use of a crane (or similar equipment) exceeding twenty-five feet (25’-0”) in height anywhere on base requires prior coordination with the Operations Support Squadron Terminal Enroute Radar Procedures (TERPS) section to ensure that flight paths are not adversely affected. The contractor must submit exact crane coordinates (in minutes, degrees, seconds, and elevations), proposed dates of use, equipment certifications, and proposed maximum height of equipment to 36th Civil Engineer Squadron (36 CES) for coordination with

2 -3 and Base Design Standards Andersen Air Force Base, Guam

TERPS. Approvals/Disapprovals are typically granted in 1 week. Approved requests typically result in the issuance of a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) advising flight crews that obstructions to flight may be present.

Refer to Appendix A.2.d – Sample Notice to Airmen (NOTAM)

2.3 Contractor Staging Yard Policy and Procedure

Special procedures are necessary to manage the staging areas of various contractors on site.

Contractors are required to establish an approved staging area and to coordinate with the 36th

Civil Engineer Squadron (36 CES) regarding necessary facilities and utilities. Contractors are responsible for maintaining their designated staging area, and each area is subject to inspections.

The Base Civil Engineer has final approval authority over contractor staging yard policy and procedure.

Refer to Appendix A.3 – Andersen AFB Contractor Staging Yard Policy and Procedures, for

2.3.1 Construction Safety Fencing

For contract performance periods less than one hundred and eighty (180) days, as soon as practicable, but not later than fifteen (15) days after the date established for commencement of work, the Contractor shall furnish and erect a temporary project safety fencing at the work site.

The safety fencing shall be a six-feet (6’-0”) minimum high chain link fence with privacy mesh or approved equal. The fence shall be secured to a tubular steel frame. Frame shall be fabricated into ten feet (10’-0”) wide panels. Fence panels shall rest in precast concrete block at the base and shall be bolted together approximately twelve-inches (12”) from the panel top edge. Privacy mesh shall be removed from site and secured when TCOR 3 is initiated. Fence shall not be attached to trees, signposts or other objects. The minimum limits of the fence shall be shown on the project drawings or as designated by the Contracting Officer.

Contract performance periods exceeding one hundred and eighty (180) days require a permanently installed six-foot (6’-0”) high chain link fence with privacy mesh. Privacy mesh shall be removed from the fence when TCOR 3 is initiated.

The use of ribbon/surveyors tape, or orange snow fencing for marking construction zones are not acceptable substitutions.

The safety fencing shall be maintained by the Contractor during the life of the contract and, upon completion and acceptance of the work, shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be removed from the work site.

2.3.2 Construction Utility Service and Utility Outages

Guam experiences frequent electrical power outages. Electrical service must be requested in writing and submitted to the Contracting Officer a minimum often (10) working days in advance of an anticipated power or utility outage. Depending on the project size and complexity, electrical requests may be required thirty (30) working days in advance. If required, the contractor shall provide back-up generator power in order to continue the flow of work and to maintain the project schedule.

2.4 Landfill Authorization

To assist in managing waste processing at the Andersen Air Force Base Landfill, contractors are required to identify and inventory waste loads prior to dumping. Recyclable materials and hazardous wastes, in particular, must comply with specific procedures.

Refer to Appendix A.4 - Landfill Authorizations Permit/Load Inspection Report, for additional requirements.

2.5 Environmental Objective

The Andersen Air Force Base Community prides itself on respecting our natural resources and maintains a strong desire to protect and preserve these resources and the lifestyle they afford. Therefore it is necessary that visitors understand and equally respect the value and fragility of our natural surroundings. Before proceeding with construction, the contractor shall secure the necessary permits and become familiar with all Andersen Air Force Base and Guam environmental

2 -5

Environmental permitting includes, but is not limited to, the following considerations:

• Environmental Protection Plan (EPP):

In addition to air and water quality, hazardous waste, pesticide use, and other environmental impacts, the EPP emphasizes storm water and groundwater controls. Refer to the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA) website for additional environmental permit information. http://epa.guam.gov/documents/

• Air Operating Permit:

It is important to identify critical path items prior to construction and to consider compliance of temporary construction activities. On-site generators will also require an air-operating permit.

• United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):

Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA).

Refer to Appendix A.5 - Environmental Requirements for Contractors, for additional

2.5.1 Sustainable Concepts

The built environment, both during and after construction, has both direct and indirect influence on the surrounding environment. Green design considerations include how to minimize energy consumption, optimize site potential, protect and conserve water resources, and to use environmentally preferable products and materials. Various programs and resources are available, some of which are indicated below. Project specific requirements should be reviewed with the Environmental Flight.

For additional information on sustainable concepts for facilities, refer to the United States Air Force Sustainable Facilities Guide at:

http://www.nasbap.org/curriculumlinks/downloads/Unit%201/afcee%20sustainable%20facilities%20gui de.pdf Green Procurement (formerly known as Affirmative Procurement):

The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence Website states, “Green Procurement is the purchase of environmentally preferable products and services in accordance with one or more of the established Federal "green" procurement preference programs. The mandatory Green Procurement Program (GPP) elements are:

• Recycled content products on the EPA CPG list

• Energy Star® products and energy efficient standby power devices http://epa.guam.gov/documents/ http://www.nasbap.org/curriculumlinks/downloads/Unit%201/afcee%20sustainable%20facilities%20guide.pdf http://www.nasbap.org/curriculumlinks/downloads/Unit%201/afcee%20sustainable%20facilities%20guide.pdf

2 -6 and Base Design Standards Andersen Air Force Base, Guam

• Alternative fuel vehicles, alternative fuels, and fuel efficient vehicles

• Bio-based products as defined by USDA

• Non-ozone depleting substances

• EPA Priority Chemicals

• Federal purchasers are also encouraged to follow EPA's Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) guidelines as part of the Green Procurement Program.

The "Guide to Green Purchasing" was updated in January 2005 to reflect the full scope of the GPP and can be downloaded from the link below.”

USAF Guide to Green Purchasing, January 2005:

http://www.afcec.lackland.af.mil/eq/programs/progpage.asp?PID=1

An alternative program for consideration is the United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification program. Information on this program can be found at http://www.usgbc.org.

2.6 Force Protection

Force protection is a primary concern at Andersen Air Force Base. Security issues should be considered and integrated early in the design process to ensure a quality building that effectively addresses force protection. Refer to Section 4.5.3 – Force Protection Barriers and UFC 4-010-01

– DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings, for specific force protection criteria and components.

2.7 Design Reviews

2.7.1 Design-Bid-Award Project

This process is typical for 36 CONS/LGCA and NAVFAC PAC MILCON Design-Bid-Award projects. This project type has five (5) submittal stages/review periods that the design consultant must plan for in the design schedule. The five (5) stages occur at the following project design completion levels: 35%, 65%, 95%, 100%, and Final. The consultant is required to submit a minimum of ten (10) sets, including drawings, specifications, and design analysis to the 36th Civil Engineer Squadron (36 CES) for each submittal stage. The various Andersen reviewing agencies include:

The review period and turn-around time frame for each submittal stage is a minimum of two (2) weeks (14 working days). However, the review period and turnaround time may vary depending on the project size and complexity. Consult with the 36th Civil Engineer Squadron (36 CES) for project specific requirements.

2.7.2 AFCEE Design-Build-Award Project

AFCEE Design-Build-Award projects are different than the typical Design-Award projects mentioned above, and follow different submittal stages than the MILCON Design-Build projects as well. The typical AFCEE Design-Build project has only two (2) submittal stages/review periods that the Design-Builder must plan for in the project schedule. The two (2) submittal packages include: Conceptual Working Plan (CWP) and Implementation Work Plan (IWP), which includes the comments and responses, project specifications, working drawings, current working estimate, design analysis/calculations, project schedule, health and safety plan, construction quality plan, and meeting minutes.

2.7.3 AFCESA Design-Build-Award Project

AFCESA Design-Build-Award projects are different than the typical Design-Award projects mentioned above, and follow different submittal stages than the MILCON Design-Build projects as well. The typical AFCESA Design-Build project has only two (2) submittal stages/review periods that the Design-Builder must plan for in the project schedule. The two (2) submittal packages include: Conceptual Working Plan (CWP) and Implementation Work Plan (IWP), which includes the comments and responses, project specifications, working drawings, current working estimate, design analysis/calculations, project schedule, health and safety plan, construction quality plan, and meeting minutes.

2 -8

2.7.4 MILCON Design-Build-Award Project

MILCON Design-Build-Award projects follow a different process, and have different submittal requirements than the typical Design-Award projects mentioned above. The Functional Analysis Conceptual Design (FACD) Phase includes a two (2) weeks period to develop the project concept with a Partnering Agreement. The first week includes an in-brief for the 36th Civil Engineer (36 CES) Squadron Commander. The second week includes an out-brief to the Wing and Mission Support Group Commander. Once a Partnering Agreement is signed, a Request for Proposal (RFP) package will be developed. The response to the RFP will be reviewed by the same reviewing agencies mentioned in the “Design-Award Project” description above. Therefore a minimum of ten (10) submittal sets will be required.

The submittal and meeting phases that the Design-Builder must account for in the project schedule are as follows:

Phase I is the “Design Phase” and includes the 50%, 100%, and Final submittal packages. Upon receipt of each submittal, the various Andersen reviewing agencies will provide comments back to the Design-Builder by completing a Form225. Then a “table-top” meeting will occur between the various Andersen agencies and the Design-Builder to review the comments and to obtain consensus.

Phase II is the “Construction Phase” and includes the Preconstruction Meeting in which all Andersen agencies will attend with the Design-Builder. Each Andersen AFB agency distributes their required forms and policies to the contractor at the preconstruction meeting.

2.7.5 SABER Design-Build-Award Project

Simplified Acquisition of Building Engineering Requirements (SABER) projects are an in house 36 CONS/LGCA design-build contract with $730,000 threshold maximum per project.

These projects are relatively small projects.
