1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this document is to provide technical guidance for the more typical aspects of architectural/engineering design services. Architects and Engineers are to utilize the information in this guide in the development of construction contract documents and Design-Build Request for Proposals (RFP) and serve as the minimum architectural requirements. Project conditions may dictate the need for design that exceeds these requirements.

1.1.1 Applicability

This document applies to agencies of the U.S. Armed Services and their contractors that are preparing construction contract documents for projects on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). This document applies to construction types regardless of funding, including properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as National Guard and Reserve projects constructed on this installation.

Certain specialized facilities, such as health care facilities, carry more stringent requirements. See the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) or other criteria that are applicable to the respective specialized facility that is being designed. This document is applicable to the traditional architectural/engineering services customary for Design-Bid- Build design services and for Design-Build construction contracts.

1.1.2 Document Improvements and Deviations

This is to be considered a “Living Document.” Recommended changes, additions, and requests for deviation are invited from anyone who uses it. Recommended changes, additions, additional guidance topics and requests to deviate from this document are accepted at any time. Recommendations can be offered electronically or in paper form, forwarded to Ms. Christine Yankel, 88 CEG/CENMP.

1.2 General Description of WPAFB

WPAFB is located adjacent to the city of Dayton, Ohio, commonly known as "the birthplace of aviation." With over 700 facilities and 1,636 housing units (100 government-owned and 1,536 privatized), the 33 square kilometers (8,145 acre) Base has the character of a small city with its own residential, office, industrial, recreational, retail, health care, and educational uses. As diverse as its tenant organizations, the Base population of approximately 22,000 people is made up of civilian and military personnel, military dependents, contractors, students, and transient military personnel.

The complexity of WPAFB is compounded by its physical layout. The Base is divided into two distinct areas - Area A and Area B. Area B is separated from Area A by State Route 444:

Area A, which primarily houses administrative functions, contains the Headquarters for the Air Force Materiel Command (HQ AFMC), National Air & Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), the Wright-Patterson Medical Center, and several military housing areas. Area A also encompasses the only active airfield on Base and houses the headquarters for the 88th Air Base Wing, the Kittyhawk Community Center, military family housing areas, and several morale, welfare, and recreation facilities.

Area B, which is principally comprised of research, development and education functions, contains the Life Cycle Management Center (LCMC), Wright Laboratory, the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), and the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

2.4 Specifications

Prepare construction project technical specifications using SpecsIntact (free software available from http://specsintact.ksc.nasa.gov/ ) to edit Unified Facility Guide Specifications (UFGS).

Download current UFGS master sections (MasterFormat 2004) from http://specsintact.ksc.nasa.gov/masters/masters.htm and edit accordingly for each construction project. Completed and preliminary submittal project specifications shall be submitted in a single PDF file. Each project specification shall have a title page and table of contents. Insert the specification section number and page number in the footer of each specification page. Insert the construction project title at the top left and the construction project number at the top right of the header of each specification page. Insert the submittal register after Section 01 33 00 (01330).

For design submittals prior to the 100% final submittal, “revisions” shall be turned on so deletions and additions to each specification section are clearly visible. When processing and compiling specifications, configure SpecsIntact to include the project table of contents without scope and to bookmark sections in the combined PDF file and add the section number to the section bookmark.

UFGS that have been unified for use by participating agencies have a level 3 or level 4 MasterFormat™ number. UFGS that are agency-specific have a fifth level number indicating it as an agency specific specification. A specification that has a fifth level number "10" indicates USACE, a "20" indicates NAVFAC, a "30" indicates AFCESA and a "40" indicates NASA.

Preparing agencies are indicated in the UFGS header of each specification. Users of UFGS should first consider a unified UFGS if one is available, next a UFGS identified as specific to their agency and, and lastly a UFGS identified as specific to another agency.

See files in Appendix C for specific UFGS editing notes.

Obtain current WPAFB master specification sections from the DM and insert into the construction project technical specifications as required for each project. WPAFB master specification sections will be provided in SpecsIntact .sec format only. Every project must include sections 01 01 00, 01 01 50, 01 02 20, and 01 33 00.

*Mandatory for every project

2.4.1 Proprietary Specifications

Do not use proprietary or restrictive requirements unless it is conclusively established that no substitute will serve the purpose. When a situation arises in which only a single product will perform the required function, forward a request to the DM, fully justifying the use of a sole source product. In addition to the detailed justification, provide an estimate of the proprietary item in relation to the total project contract cost. Use of proprietary items is prohibited unless formal written approval is obtained from a Contracting Officer.

If authorization is granted, specify the proprietary item by manufacturer’s name and catalog number, followed by the phrase: “notwithstanding other provision of the contract, no other product will be acceptable.” The statement is necessary to override the contract clause that permits substitution of supposedly equal products unless such language is used.

Specification sections that contain proprietary items must include a notice to that effect on the first page of the section. Place the following above the section number and title at the top of the first page of the section: “This Specification Contains Proprietary Products.”

2.4.2 “Or Equal” Specifications

Specifying products by naming acceptable commercial products followed by the words “or equal” is permitted. However, in each instance, include in the description a minimum of two acceptable manufacturers and list the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that will satisfy the Government’s needs.

2.4.3 Experience Clauses

Ordinarily, experience clauses are not included in the technical specifications. On occasion, because of special difficulties in the work, strict construction schedules, or past unsuccessful experience with contractors, an experience clause may be used to ensure competence in the contractor. Experience clauses relate to the responsibility of a firm, and more specifically, to its capacity to perform the work. The inclusion of experience clauses in project specifications requires the approval of a Contracting Officer.

Experience clauses that occur in the UFGS have been reviewed by a Contracting Officer and may be used without further approval or waiver. When adding an experience clause to the UFGS, obtain approval of a Contracting Officer.

2.4.4 Warranty Clauses

Ordinarily, warranty clauses are not included in specifications. A warranty clause is a provision that modifies terms of the normal 1-year warranty required by the contract clause. There are two classes of exceptions:

First, it is acceptable to extend the period of the warranty based on the judgment of the A/E, if the industry routinely provides such extended periods of warranty and the unusually complex nature of the product makes the provision cost effective on a life-cycle basis, or if UFGS suggest the extension.

Second, it is possible to add terms to a warranty, but only in the rarest of circumstances and with written approval of a Contracting Officer or when UFGS indicate such an extension has been reviewed and approved by a Contracting Officer.

2.5 CADD Standards

WPAFB CADD standards are included in Appendix A, file “Appendix A_CADD STANDARDS.docx”.

2.6 DD Form 1354 Requirement

Designer shall provide a completed Draft DD Form 1354 for all designed construction projects.

Design documents shall include the requirement that contractors shall complete and submit Final DD Form 1354 for all construction projects.

2.7 BUILDER Updating

Design documents shall include the requirement that contractors shall complete and submit BUILDER Update Form for all construction projects.

2.8 Lay Down Area Requirement

A specified lay down area to store project materials and equipment for the duration of a construction project shall be provided as part of the Design Drawings. The lay down area shall be sufficiently sized to accommodate trailers, construction materials, and equipment traffic. The lay down area shall be located within a reasonable proximity to the project area to minimally impact roads, and utility tie-ins shall be taking into consideration. A minimum 6ft tall chain-link fence with privacy fabric shall be provided along its perimeter in prominent areas to create a privacy screen from the surrounding context.

3.0 ARCHITECTURAL

3.1 Introduction

In accordance with the goals of the AFMC Facility Quality Program, this section was developed to ensure consistency in future design and construction projects. This section is not intended to stifle creativity, nor does it advocate "cookbook" architecture, it simply communicates and illustrates current design standards that will unify and strengthen the architectural fabric of WPAFB and the ASC.

3.1.1 Design Excellence

Excellence in design is a primary goal for WPAFB projects. Reaching this goal requires a commitment by the Government and A/E to quality that includes the relationship of architecture and land use to the surrounding community, as well as to the details of design that affect the users of buildings and facilities. Quality architectural design vitally improves facility operating efficiency, sustainability, attractiveness, livability, life cycle economics, and ultimately the productivity of the users.

3.1.2 Design for Flexibility

Flexibility in architectural design facilitates the change or expansion of an existing structure to accommodate changing functional requirements with minimum expenditure of resources. The U.S. military usually owns and operates its facilities from their time of construction until the end of their useful life. During this long tenure of use, functional requirements of buildings will change, often drastically. Design facilities to accommodate change in use with a minimum expenditure of resources. Careful planning for reconfigurable technology infrastructure and utility distribution, minimizing permanent interior walls and using systems furniture and demountable partition systems enhances flexibility. For this reason, flexibility is a significant design requirement for buildings, except for those with highly specialized functions where adaptive reuse would be cost prohibitive. When feasible, facilities shall be designed to facilitate future expansion in response to mission requirements.

3.1.3 Architectural Review Committee

88 CEG has established an Architectural Review Committee (ARC) in accordance with the goals and directives of the AFMC Facility Quality Program. The ARC shall provide design guidance, enforce the intent of this Base Facility Standard (BFS) and insure architectural compatibility that will unify and strengthen the architectural fabric of WPAFB promoting a vision of design excellence.

3.2 Architectural Districts

For purposes of this standard, WPAFB has been divided into thirteen Architectural Districts that identify specific areas of this Base where compatibility with adjacent facilities shall be stressed.

Some architectural issues, such as paint and signage, do not vary from district to district and become unifying elements in the Base master plan. The thirteen Architectural Districts are summarized below.

3.2.1 District 1 - Wright Field

This district includes the National Museum of the United States Air Force, its runway area, and the associated clearance areas. The primary architectural form is expressed in the large metal arch structures used by the museum for the display of aircraft.

3.2.2 District 2 - The Prairies and the Woods at Wright Field

This district consists of single-family, garden homes and townhouses, and community facilities.

3.2.3 District 3 - Area B Downtown

This district includes the historic research area, the historic WWII flight line area, and the future development of the ASC complex. The older area is dominated by brick industrial structures while the newer administrative buildings are predominately precast concrete.

3.2.4 District 4 - Area B - East

This district is a combination of research facilities, the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) educational facilities, and industrial/utility facilities of varied age and style.

3.2.5 District 5 - Not Used

3.2.6 District 6 - Command/Administrative Area

This district includes the AFMC Headquarters, National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) Headquarters, communication and industrial facilities. Future construction should follow the architectural design established by the AFMC and NASIC facilities which range from simple to embellished concrete structures.

3.2.7 District 7 - Brick Quarters Housing and the Medical Center

This WPA constructed brick Tudor style residential area has been established as a historic district. It includes the Wright-Patterson Club & Banquet Facility and other associated recreational facilities, as well as the Temporary Living Facilities (TLF). The Medical Center is not part of the historic area but has its own separate architectural style.

3.2.8 District 8 - Base Administrative/Industrial Area

This area includes most of the Base warehouses, base headquarters, civil engineering administration, and other Base administrative facilities. Red brick and sloped roofs dominate this area that also includes some metal and precast structures.

3.2.9 District 9 - Kittyhawk

This district includes most of the community service and commercial facilities including the Base Exchange, Commissary, dormitories, and other recreational facilities.

3.2.10 District 10 - East Flight Line

The south side of this district includes aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities associated with aircraft. The north side includes air cargo facilities, POL and other flight line related facilities. Most structures in this area are metal hangars or similar support

3.2.11 District 11 - West Ramp

This district is used by the 445th Reserve Squadron and includes hangars, aircraft maintenance shops and administrative areas for the squadron. Most structures in this area are metal hangars or similar support facilities.

3.2.12 District 12 - Bass Lake and Munitions Storage Area

Included are the recreational facilities along Bass Lake and the igloos and other munitions storage facilities. The structure style here is predominately rustic or buried.

3.2.13 District 13 - Floodplain District

This includes the area along the Mad River, Huffman Prairie Flying Field and Huffman Prairie area, and recreational areas including Twin Lakes and the civilian golf course.

The architectural style is rustic or simple utility buildings.

3.3 Historic Preservation

WPAFB and HQ AFMC are dedicated to complying with Federal legislation pertaining to the preservation of historic facilities. Careful coordination between WPAFB and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is essential. The historic significance of buildings at WPAFB is based on the following federal criteria:

Usually more than 50 years old and still relatively intact and Associated with a significant person; or Associated with a significant event; or

Characteristic of an architectural style or time period; or Capable of yielding data significant to the Nation Associated with the Cold War era for facilities less than 50 years old

Facilities meeting these criteria are potential candidates for the National Register of Historic Places. At WPAFB, candidate facilities are identified by the Base Cultural Resources Manager (CRM) and approved by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).

There are over 260 examples of WPAFB facilities/structures that are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. These include three historic districts identified as representative of distinct eras of Base and/or Air Force history. Contact the CRM for the current list of historic facilities at WPAFB.

3.3.1 Base Cultural Resources Management Office

Environmental Assets Section (88 CEG/CEIEA) is responsible for assigning an individual to coordinate historic preservation issues with the historic preservation regulatory agencies, 88 CEG, and appropriate using agencies. The WPAFB CRM is:

88 CEG/CEIEA

Mr. Paul Woodruff 1450 Littrell Road Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-5209 257-1374

3.3.2 State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)

Through delegation of federal authority, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is responsible for surveying and recognizing historic properties, reviewing nominations for properties to be included in the National Register of Historic Places, reviewing undertakings for the impact on the properties as well as supporting federal organizations, state and local governments, and private sector. The SHPO also works with the Base to arrive at a consensus list of facilities eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

3.3.3 Monitoring Historic Facilities

Historically significant facilities are monitored by the CRM and SHPO.

Repair/renovation or addition work is checked against standard procedures and in most cases work proceeds, occasionally with modification. The objective of this process is that historic facilities are kept active and protected, while maintaining their historic significance.

Design documents for projects having the potential to impact significant facilities must be sent to the CRM for transmittal to the SHPO for approval. Government funds must not be committed to a project to perform work on a historic property until the SHPO coordination process has been completed and approval from the CRM has been given.

After receipt of project documents, SHPO has thirty days to concur in these proposed projects or offer comments as to how to better minimize or avoid adverse impacts.

Projects having potential adverse impacts may also need to be coordinated with the federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

3.4 Sustainable Design

UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building requirements, guides compliance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, Executive Orders 13423 and 13514, the Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings (HPSB), and DOD and USAF sustainable design and development guidance. The WPAFB project team and A/E shall review the UFC and ensure applicable requirements are incorporated into construction contract documents.

As described in the Air Force sustainable design and development guidance, certain projects require registration and formal certification in the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System

Regardless of the extent to which UFC 1-200-02 and LEED apply to a given project, Air Force policy is to reduce the total ownership costs, including life-cycle costs of facilities, by incorporating sustainable development principles and strategies in the planning, programming, design, construction, operation and maintenance, sustainment, restoration and modernization of facilities and infrastructure projects to the fullest extent possible, consistent with mission, budget and client requirements. Consult the Whole Building Design Guide “Federal High Performance and Sustainable Buildings” section for technical guidance.

3.5 Handicapped Accessibility

WPAFB is dedicated to providing adequate handicapped accessibility in facilities Base-wide.

Accessibility issues shall conform to the codes and guidance provided by the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABA), Chapters 1 through 10.

3.5.1 Maintenance and Repair

If existing elements, spaces, essential features, or common areas are altered, then each such altered element, space, feature, or area shall comply with the applicable provisions of the ABA standards. The path of travel to these primary functions must meet the same standards.

Facilities that are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places shall comply with ABA standards, using methods consistent with the Standards and Illustrated Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Air Force Buildings and Structures.

3.5.2 Military Exclusions

As a goal, WPAFB will strive to provide adequate accessibility to facilities regardless of the military exclusions granted by the Uniformed Federal Accessibility Standards in section 4.1.4.

3.6 Base Comprehensive Planning

3.6.1 Base Comprehensive Plan (BCP)

Careful and proper planning is critical to successful architectural compatibility at WPAFB. The BCP for WPAFB provides the installation with a framework to guide programming, design, and construction of facilities at the Base in support of existing and future missions. The A/E firms shall refer to the BCP for information affecting each construction project.

3.6.2 Facility Siting

Proper facility siting in accordance with the Wright-Patterson Land Use Plan (Component Plan D of the BCP) is essential to avoid incompatible land usage. As chairman of the Team Wright-Patt Council, the 88 ABW/CC shall approve siting requests for new construction.

3.6.3 Siting Considerations

Prior to design, construction projects are reviewed by the Base Community Planner and the ARC specifically to determine the best acceptable site. Often a project is granted siting approval subject to a variety of conditions which must be adhered to in the design and construction of the project.

The site parameters vary with each project, including such issues as access, parking considerations, utility relocations, flood plain issues, noise proofing requirements, environmental concerns, and others. The A/E shall contact the Base Community Planner to determine the specific restrictions associated with each project site. Changes in the site location of a facility, even those minor in nature, must be coordinated with the Base Community Planner and the ARC.

3.6.4 Area Development Plans (ADP)

When proposed construction requires planning beyond the limits of a single facility, designers should pursue the creation of Area Development Plans in order to facilitate thoughtful planning of the relationship facilities have with one another.

3.6.5 Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone (AICUZ)

The WPAFB AICUZ study of 1995 provides an assessment of noise levels and statistical analysis to determine aircraft Accident Potential Zones (APZ). The goals of the study are to provide protection of the public and compatible development of the lands affected by Base flying operations.

For new construction or major renovation of facilities within the AICUZ noise contours, the A/E shall apply the appropriate level of sound attenuation as determined by Figure 4 of the AICUZ report. New construction must comply with the APZ recommendation in Figure 4 of the AICUZ report. Whenever feasible, major renovations of existing facilities shall also comply with these guidelines in an effort to reduce the population in the APZ.

3.6.6 WPAFB Airport Zoning Ordinance

WPAFB's relationship with the surrounding communities cannot be overlooked. As part of the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) program, an airport zoning ordinance has been developed in which our AICUZ recommendations have been applied to local zoning and land use policies.

3.6.7 Housing Community Plan (HCP)

An HCP was completed for WPAFB in 1996. This report contains extensive information on both the whole house and the community improvement recommendations. An extensive database is included in the report that contains detailed information on each housing unit on the Base. For projects within the family housing area, this HCP report must be followed.

3.7 Architectural Finishes

Careful and consistent selection of construction materials and finishes is the most critical element of architectural compatibility. Color, texture, and pattern must be considered not only in the context of the building being designed, but also in the larger context of the site and neighboring buildings. Durability and low maintenance are also vital to a successful design (Refer to Section 3.18).

3.7.1 Paint Standards

New buildings constructed at WPAFB shall be designed to require no exterior painting and minimum maintenance. However, because this is an old Base, the need to regularly paint our stock of existing and historic buildings will be with us for the foreseeable future.

Use of semi-gloss, eggshell and other enamelized paint finishes shall be maximized. Use of flat paints shall be minimized.

Paints and coatings applied to exterior building surfaces, equipment and fixtures shall conform to the following palette:

Base Color (defined as 70% +/- of surface area);

Accent Color (defined as 10% +/- of surface area);

Trim Color (defined as 20% +/- of surface area);

Historical Trim Color (applied only within Brick Quarters Historic District).

Paint standards for WPAFB have been organized into a numbering system for coating systems. A Wright-Patterson color number is assigned to a corresponding paint manufacturer color number.

Paint WPAFB Application Color Number

Base Color WP-B1 Accent Color WP-A2 Trim Color WP-T3 Historical Trim Color WP-H4 (Brick Quarters Historical District only)

Surfaces that are to receive a specific coating are to be finished in accordance with the WPAFB Paint Standards published herein. This requirement includes such items installed as part of a construction, infrastructure or utility project. Only WPAFB Color No.’s WP-B1, WP-A2, and WP-T3 are acceptable colors for painted or factory finished items. The ARC must approve deviations from these colors.

3.7.4 Pre-Cast Concrete

Pre-cast concrete is an acceptable finish depending on site location, type of texture, finish, shape of panels, and color of mix. The ARC must approve elevations and material selections.

3.7.5 Architectural Concrete Masonry Units (CMU)

Exterior architectural units shall be fabricated with integral water repellant and shall be integrally colored during manufacture. Water repellant primer and stain shall also be applied to exterior architectural CMU walls after completion of exterior work and when the masonry is not subject to damage by construction activities. General purpose common, smooth face CMU is not acceptable for use as an exterior veneer or as facing units. The ARC must approve elevations, material and color selections.

Architectural CMU which will be exposed to weathering shall be tested for efflorescence.

Sampling and testing shall conform to the applicable provisions of ASTM C 67. Tests results shall be provided in the Design Analysis; units meeting the definition of “effloresced” will be subject to rejection.

3.7.6 Brick

A wide variety of color, sizes, shapes, bond elevations, and applications are used throughout the Base. Brick is the preferred material of choice due to its aesthetic qualities and life cycle costing as related to project size. The ARC must approve elevations and material selections.

Comply with the Brick Industry Association technote 7, technote 18A, and technote 21B for specific brick masonry recommendations and other topic-specific technotes as applicable.

Comply with Brick Institute of America technote 21B for brick cavity/veneer wall design and construction.

Design components of the wall system to control moisture and to preclude water penetration of the barrier wall construction.

Indicate required flashing on the drawings. In order to direct moisture out of a cavity through weep holes, provide continuous flashing at the bottom of the cavity and wherever the cavity is interrupted by elements such as shelf angles or lintels and above an intersecting roof plane. Extend flashing through the outer masonry face and turn down to form a drip. Do not terminate through-wall flashing behind the exterior face. Install through-wall flashing over openings, sills, spandrels, shelf angles and parapets.

Use of clear masonry sealer to prevent water penetration is prohibited.

Plastic flashings are not allowed. Specify only superior quality flashing materials since repair or replacement of cavity flashing is exceedingly expensive. Do not use asphalt-impregnated felt flashing. Do not use aluminum flashing in brick construction. Through-wall flashing shall be bituminous membrane coated copper flashing, copper or stainless steel.

Antifreeze admixture compounds for cold weather freeze resistance are not allowed.

Provide a tight (non-porous) face brick to reduce water absorption and to reduce freeze-thaw damage.

Provide a 1 inch clear dimension from the face of cavity insulation board or sheathing material to the back of the exterior wythe of masonry.

Provide open head joint weeps at through-wall flashing for brick masonry. Locate weeps on the same course as the flashing. Space weep holes at 24 inches on center for brick masonry and 32 inches for concrete masonry.

Brick which will be exposed to weathering shall be tested for efflorescence. Sampling and testing shall conform to the applicable provisions of ASTM C 67. Tests results shall be provided in the Design Analysis; units meeting the definition of “effloresced” will be subject to rejection.

3.7.7 Mortar and Grout

Efflorescence testing of mortar shall be in accordance with ASTM C 67. Components causing efflorescence shall be rejected. The ARC must approve elevations, materials and color selections.

3.7.8 Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS)

Exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) have limitations, which make their use problematic. In special cases, where matching an existing facility’s exterior material, and when approved by the ARC, EIFS may be allowed. In those cases, do not install EIFS within six inches of grade or a stone or brick base shall be used to reduce damage/deterioration caused by exterior landscaping maintenance and mowing/trimming grounds keeping. Do not install EIFS in areas where it will be subject to abuse by moving vehicles or equipment, such as a loading dock. Do not use EIFS in areas of heavy pedestrian traffic, or if such use cannot be avoided, specify high-impact resistant system. Use high-impact systems a minimum of four feet above grade where subject to damage from pedestrian traffic or lawn maintenance equipment. Only self-draining and mechanically fastened EIFS systems will be considered. Integral colors must match Base standards. The ARC must approve elevations, materials and color selections.

3.7.9 Other Finishes

Uses of other systems and/or finishes will be decided on a case by case basis through the

ARC.

3.8 Roofing

WPAFB has over 1.5 million square meters (15 million square feet) of roof areas. Of this total, approximately 0.8 million square meters (8.7 million square feet) is low-slope built-up roofing, with remainder being a variety of steep-sloped roofing systems.

3.8.1 Existing Roof Types

The majority of low-slope roofing systems consist of multi-ply felts with asphalt or coal tar bitumen, either gravel surfaced or coated on a variety of insulation types and structural decks. Other low-slope systems on Base include single ply rubber, modified bitumen and structural standing seam metal.

The remainder of steep-sloped roofing systems consists primarily of asphalt shingles plus a significant number of clay tile roofs, metal roofing systems and roll roofing. A small number of specialized systems are in use including floating tank cover roofs, geodesic domes, and earth-covered systems.

3.8.2 Slope Conversion Policy

Air Force policy promotes conversion of low-slope roofs to steep roof systems during the re-roofing process when economically feasible and aesthetically pleasing. The latest Air Force guidance for determining the feasibility of a particular roof for slope conversion is contained in the HQ USAF Policy Letter on Slope Conversions (Flat to Sloped) dated 13 May 1991.

Slope conversions typically involve superimposing a wood truss, plywood and shingle system over an existing low-slope structural system (residential solutions) or the erection of a light-gage metal substructure covered with structural standing seam metal. The latest Air Force guidance for standing seam metal roofing is contained in the HQ AFMC design and construction guidelines titled "Standing Seam Metal Roofing" dated 9 October 1985.

Standing seam metal roofs shall have a minimum 1/2:12 slope. Refer to Section 3.7.2.

3.8.3 Low-Slope Roof Systems

Built-up roof systems shall be designed in accordance with UFC 3-110-03 "Roofing" and AFI 32-1051 “Roof Systems Management”, and should use the guide specification UFGS 07 51 13 “Built-up Asphalt Roofing”.

New low-slope roofs shall have 1/2" per 1' slope minimum. New low-slope roofs shall have the slope built in the roof deck. They shall not utilize lightweight fill or tapered board insulation. Design snow guards on roof systems to preclude sudden falling of snow and ice.

Single-ply roof systems are considered non-conventional roofing systems and the HQ AFMC roof engineer must approve their use. Guidance for the request for approval is contained in the AFMC Policy on Non-Conventional Roofing System Approval and Acceptance into the Applications Engineering Program, dated 20 March 1990. If AFMC approval is given for a single ply rubber system, the Guide Specification contained in ETL 90-8 shall be followed.

3.8.4 Roof-Top Equipment

If at possible, placement of rooftop mechanical and utility equipment shall be avoided.

However, if no other viable alternative exists, equipment must be curb mounted and secured against high winds. Do not use pitch pockets. Keep roof penetrations to an absolute minimum. Recommend use of sidewall louvers for air intake and exhaust.

Mask equipment behind parapets, architecturally compatible screens/louvers, or set equipment in depressed center section of pitched roofs.

3.8.5 Roof Access

Control roof access in accordance with UFC 4-010-01, Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. Buildings must have internal roof access through a manufactured roof access hatch. Arrange secure facilities so that roof access is from a mechanical room accessible only from the exterior, to limit uncleared personnel from passing through secured spaces.
