About this file
This is an Architecture and Engineering Guidelines document for deliverables under the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Architecture and Engineering (A/E) Indefinite Deliverable, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City. The document establishes standards and requirements for all deliverables submitted by A/E contractors to the FAA under task orders issued under this IDIQ vehicle.
The guidelines define three categories of services: Type A Services (preliminary and investigative work including feasibility studies, field surveys, concept drawings, and energy/water audits); Type B Services (construction documents for competitive bidding and associated construction administration); and Type C Services (additional construction administration, inspections, testing, and commissioning services beyond Type B). All deliverables must comply with codes adopted by the City of Oklahoma City and must be prepared in accordance with specific technical requirements covering design analysis, specifications, and drawings. Specifications must be organized in the 50-Division CSI MasterFormat and submitted in both MS Word and PDF formats. Drawings must utilize FAA-standard title blocks, follow the United States National CAD Standard (NCS), be submitted in PDF format with proper AutoCAD layering per AMP-400 standards, and use 22"x34" sheet sizes unless otherwise approved. The Design Analysis must include detailed engineering criteria, calculations, code compliance commentary, and cost estimates organized by discipline (Civil, Architectural, Structural, HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Safety, Electrical, Environmental, and Energy/Water Conservation). Specialized requirements address medium voltage electrical systems (coordinated with OCAT/FSB), natural gas distribution (OCAT-owned), soil management, and comprehensive environmental planning including NEPA/NHPA compliance. All electronic deliverables must be supplied in AutoCAD 2018 format along with PDF versions, and final submittals must conform to AMP-400 plot styles and layer conventions. Additional appendices provide detailed specifications for electrical studies (arc-flash and coordination), lighting demolition/renovation scope, and typical lighting controls systems.
