Discipline Specific Guidance

The following discipline specific guidance is for general information, to give an idea of what is expected to be produced at the level of design indicated. Design disciplines not needed on a specific project will not be applicable. Every discipline item mentioned is be considered to see if it is applicable to a specific project based on the project’s scope of work.

Civil Design

Design Analysis - Narrative/Calculations

Siting: Describe site conditions, including existing topographic features and improvements, affecting or relating to the proposed work. Consider any special or unusual conditions such as former refuse dump areas, a potential for flooding, ground stability, rock outcrops, drainage features and unusual soil conditions. Note any contaminated soil or groundwater conditions, note and elevation or grading concerns, existing environmental impacts and mitigation requirements, NEPA compliance, completed EA-EIS. Discuss reasons for facility orientation.

Consider such factors as prevailing winds, existing structures, adjacent site conditions, solar loads, clearance restrictions and future development areas. Generally state building siting reasons: Discuss the impact of new construction on existing facilities, considerations for future expansion, requirements for flood protection, set-back requirements or specific clearance requirements, unusual cut or fill requirements.

Water Service and Fire lines: Support with calculations the selection of the water service line to the project; indicate the invert elevation at the point of entry to the building. In those locations where frost penetration is not a factor the depth of cover for the fire lines shall be as described in the next paragraph. If frost penetration exists, the same criteria still holds, but as a minimum, "the top of the fire line shall be buried not less than one foot below the frost line for the locality"

- as stated in NFPA 24. If a fire sprinkler system is to be hydraulically designed by the project's contractor, provide in the Civil Design narrative and on the exterior utility drawing the static pressure and the needed available residual pressure at the base of the sprinkler riser for a predetermined flow.

Water Supply Line and Distribution System:

Show adequacy of distribution system to supply controlling demands; include information basic to this determination, and support with hydraulic computations. If the water requirements for the project are considerable, state whether a determination has been made regarding the capability of the existing system to meet the additional demand or if further hydraulic analysis is needed.

Give the friction coefficient, controlling elevations, special material requirements and any special features of the design such as pressure reducing, sustaining and relief valves.

When applicable discuss the needs of air valves, vacuum valves, combination air vacuum/air release valves (CAV/ARV), and blow-off valves. Discuss the criteria followed for the selection

4-6 and location of CAV/ARV and blow-off valves. Supplement the Design Analysis with a drawing showing the profile of the entire water distribution system; also discuss the criteria followed for the location and number of gate valves and fire hydrants.

Use a minimum cover over pipes of 2.5-feet in grassed areas, 3-feet under unpaved driveways or roadways, and 4 feet under railroad tracks. Areas with deeper frost depths will require deeper placement. The bottom of the water main must be at least 12-inches above the top of the gravity sanitary sewer, and 24-inches above the top of a pressure sewer pipe. For irrigation systems, discuss types of sprinkler heads, effective coverage, spacing and zoning, automatic flow control valves, and back flow prevention units.

For projects that involve supply, collection, and/or distribution utility conduits, rigid or flexible, support with calculations the trench design (bedding, initial backfill, and final backfill) for each one of the pipe options given in the UFGS. The trench design is to be based on American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standards, or American Society of Civil Engineers Manuals and Reports on Engineering practice, as applicable; a trench cross section for each one of the pipe options is to be shown on the drawings. Any deletion of a pipe option, as called for in the COE Guide Specifications, must be supported with complete engineering calculations. The engineering based justification for the deletion of the pipe option must also be narrated in the Design Analysis. Since controlled compaction is required during construction, hydraulic consolidation of bedding or backfill (initial or final) material is not to be allowed. Thrust block area is to be based on actual bearing soil capacity, and a pressure of not less than 1.5 times the maximum expected pressure including surge; provide the supporting computations.

The pipe embedment detail terminology, shown on the construction drawings, must match exactly that of UFGS 31 00 00 EARTHWORK. For each one of the pipe options, the embedment terminology compatible with AWWA and ASTM calls for: Foundation (if required), Bedding, Haunching, Initial Backfill (all within the pipe embedment) and Final Backfill.

Provide a compacted, well-graded granular material for the pipe's bedding, and a densely compacted initial backfill. Select the gradation number; depending on the pipe material specified, from ASTM C-33, Table 2, or ASTM D448, Table 1. Tabulate the Sieve Size vs. the Percent Passing after the gradation number is selected. Indicate the percent compaction within the pipe embedment and final backfill.

When high water tables are anticipated, embedment materials without substantial voids are required to prevent soil migration. Sand should not be used if the pipe zone area is subject to a fluctuating groundwater table or where there is a possibility of the sand migrating into the pipe bedding or trench walls.

Pipeline Plan/Profile: For water supply lines and distribution systems, longer than a few thousand feet, a special plan/profile drawing must be prepared at a smaller scale, e.g., 1" = 100' or 1" = 200' and made part of the construction drawings. These drawings should show pipeline stationing, all appurtenances, and other major physical and design features.

Outline a Pipeline Filling and Draining Procedure on the drawings: Fill the different water lines from the lowest point in each individual line limiting the flow rate to 1 (one) foot per

4-7 second; provide drain valves sized to provide a flushing velocity of 2.5 feet per second; show at which locations the pipeline is to be filled from; discuss air evacuation thru the combination air vacuum/air release valves (CAV/ARV).

Show the points of connection to the existing water system as well as valves and appurtenances.

The filling and draining operations narrative must take into account the physical layout of the existing water system so that it can be isolated properly with a minimum of inconvenience to the consumers during the filling and draining operations.

Water Supply Works:

Discuss the selection of the type of units, materials, economy of operation, controls, etc. Provide a statement of sizes or capacities of major components, any critical elevations or dimensions, and essential related items as covered in the computations.

Include data on existing supplies and for new sources such as wells and surface supplies.

Provide data for all water wells and test drilling programs with full explanation of factors affecting choice of location, type, diameter, depth, and important related characteristics.

Water Treatment: After analyzing the water characteristics, establish the necessity for and extent of treatment options. The Army potable water is defined in TB MED 576 Treated Water Quality Standards, which also spells out the Army water quality requirements.

The selection of one particular type of design, when two or more types of design are known to be feasible, must be based on the results of an economic study. The results of these economic studies are to be included in this Preliminary Design.

The Standards outlined in TB MED 576 Treated Water Quality Standards are maximum values and every reasonable attempt should be made to obtain water of better quality. The applicable water quality standards are presented in Appendix H. Waters having physical characteristics exceeding the limits of Appendix H should not, as a general rule, be used for drinking.

Appendix H of TB MED 576 Treated Water Quality Standards covers both the National Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NIPDWR), in Section I, and the National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations (NSDWR) in Section 11. Note that Army facilities shall endeavor to provide drinking water of the highest quality in consonance with NSDWR.

Army installations must comply with regulations on levels of organic compounds in drinking water and will be required to install removal equipment if these compounds are detected.

Reference is made to ETL 1110-3-367 Trace Organic Compounds in Potable Water Supplies which supplements TM 5-813-3 Water Supply-Water Treatment, Supplement 411, and provides basic information pertaining to the occurrence, detection, and treatment of trace organic compounds that may be found in drinking water. Reference is also made to TM 5-813-8 Water Desalination.

List all criteria used for the design of each treatment process and operation. Furnish all calculations showing the design of the processes and operation including the organic loading.

4-8

Provide a hydraulic profile of the treatment plant. Describe the elements of the design selected including the capacities and number of units, monitoring equipment, and controls.

Building sewer connection: The minimum pipe diameter for a gravity building sewer connection is 6-inches with a minimum velocity of 2 feet per second at average daily flow.

Smaller service connections for very low flow facilities with limited fixture units can be 4” minimum. Calculations are required only for gravity building sewer connections larger than 6-inch diameter and for all pressurized building sewer connections.

Sanitary and Industrial Sewer System: Describe the existing system covering particularly the type, capacity, condition, present flow, and unsatisfactory elements of component parts for major extensions. Where lift stations are required, state pump type and size, volume of wet well, cycle time, and pump controls. Include data concerning state requirements for pollution control.

Indicate controlling elevations and compliance with slope and size criteria. Confirm adequacy of existing sewers to carry additional flow.

Wastewater Treatment: Where waste treatment is included in the job, discuss the degree of treatment required to meet the applicable discharge standards. Describe the receiving stream and the elements of the design including the capacities and number of units, monitoring equipment and controls. List all criteria used for the design of the treatment process and operation; furnish all calculations. Provide a hydraulic profile of the wastewater treatment plant. The alternatives that were considered and the reason for selecting the design over the alternatives shall be discussed demonstrating how the design will achieve the treatment goals. Pilot plant testing programs, which are to be conducted, will be described, and in the case of land treatment, a soil testing program will be developed and described.

Percolation tests: Percolation tests are to be used to determine the acceptability of the site and for the design of the subsurface disposal systems. Whenever the Architect-Engineer determines that percolation tests are required for the project, the District will make percolation tests at the request of the Corps of Engineers (COE) Project Manager (PM). Discuss the need for percolation tests, and if required, indicate the required depth. Whenever periodic high water conditions are expected, consider another type of absorption field, other than the conventional septic tank-tile field design, such as mounds, fill systems, and under drain systems.

Corrosion Survey: For each new project with utilities systems and/or metallic structures that are buried, submerged, or in contact with either the ground or a substance, which may be corrosive, a preliminary survey will be made by the District or Architect-Engineer (depending on contractual provisions) to determine the need for corrosion protection. If the Architect- Engineer determines further tests are required, this recommendation will be presented to the COE Project Manager. Submit a summary of the conclusions on the need for protection against corrosion.

When water utility systems are involved in locations where the soils are known to be very corrosive, it may be desirable to use cathodic protection systems as a supplement to (but not in place of) coal tar or cement mortar coatings.

Storm Drainage and Grading: Discuss the drainage design. The discussion shall include the rainfall intensity and return period, concentration times, infiltration rates, the size of the contributing area, method of computation, ponding effects, if any, and the reasons behind the

4-9 selection of each of the above. Describe the grading plan and the controlling slopes which will be used in the design. Identify any local or state requirements for which the storm drainage design must comply. Discuss the existing site features affecting grading such as walks, fences, curbs, buildings, streets, and elevation of high water, as well as unusual cut or fill requirements.

Provide all the computations used for determining the design flow and pipe sizes; also drainage area maps for systems that drain into or through the project area.

Roads, Streets: Discuss the geometric features of the paved areas such as widths of traffic lanes and shoulders. Data relating to the design such as vertical and horizontal controls and the class and category of road or street shall be included. Include all computations for curves, alignment, sight distance, and super elevations.

Parking, Open Storage, and Hardstand Areas: Discuss the derivation of the number of parking spaces. For the parking lot layout: discuss the selection of 90°, 60°, and 45° stalls, aisles, access lanes and stall dimensions, slopes of the surfaced areas, pavement markings, traffic signs, pedestrian access, planting islands, as well as the number and location of handicapped, visitors, and staff parking spaces.

Sidewalks, Fencing, Signage: Discuss sidewalk grade, location, and derivation of width, as well as joints, and joint layout. Discuss justification of fencing and describe the type and height of fences and gates. The description shall include features such as barbed wire, gate I-controllers, fabric, posts, and tension wires. Discuss street name plates, stop, and reserved parking signs, and sign posts.

Dust and Erosion Control: Include a statement of the proposed type and method of accomplishing dust and erosion control, reasons for selection, and extent of the area to be treated.

Consider if erosion control will be required during construction. If no treatment is proposed, justify omission.

Railroads: Discuss the type and depth of the ballast section, weight of rail, use of relayer rail, bumpers, ties, spikes, turnouts, and road-bed preparation.

NPDES Permit: In projects where wastewater is not discharged into an existing collection and disposal system, the NPDES permit will be referenced and appended to the Design Analysis.

Economic Analysis: Furnish economic comparisons between feasible alternatives for site layout, facility orientation, utilities systems, paved areas, and other site improvements.

Environmental Impact: Review the Environmental Impact Analysis (Environmental Impact Assessment or Environmental Impact Statement) to determine whether any design feature changes the conclusions or recommendations of the analysis. Should changes to the analysis be required as a result of the design, a complete description of the required changes shall be included in the narrative portion of the Design Analysis. If no changes are required to the analysis, the designer shall include this conclusion in the Design Analysis narrative.

Energy Efficiency: Where the civil design includes energy consuming processes, provide studies on comparative energy conservation measures.

4-10

Surveying

The survey should make reference to the origin of the vertical datum. There should be a note on the drawings indicating that all elevations are based on the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) 1929, or whatever datum was used for this project.

The survey should make reference to the origin of the horizontal datum. There should be a note on the drawings indicating that grid coordinates are based on the California State Coordinate System Zone 11, or whatever datum was used for this project.

Provide enough spot elevations on the topography map to support the contours. No point on any topographic map should be more than one inch from either a contour or a spot elevation.

A finished floor of a building should never be used as a vertical point of reference for a survey.

If it is necessary to use such a reference, a well defined point, such as a chiseled square in the south side of main entry door, should be clearly marked in the field and identified on the drawing.

At least two horizontal and vertical control points should be shown on the topography drawings so that the construction contractor can not only initiate his survey but also check it for possible blunders. If aerial photogrammetric methods where used to obtain this mapping, a control diagram should be included with the topography maps.

Tabulation should be shown on the topography mapping that lists each control point together with its coordinates, elevation, and a description of the point.

Coordinates and elevations should only be shown to two (2) decimal places. Elevations on ground surfaces should only be shown to one (1) decimal place. Values displayed to more decimal places than required, indicate a greater precision than was required or obtained.

If the Sacramento District provided the original topographic mapping for this project, a copy of that mapping should be included with the construction drawings.

The Civil exterior utilities drawing must include a subsurface utility survey.

For water supply and distribution system lines, a set of plan and profile drawings shall be prepared, which shall show as a minimum the following information:

Survey base line with physical control points Existing physical features such as buildings, fences, structures, utilities, trees, and drainage systems.

Existing and proposed ground elevations along the centerline of the pipe shall be shown on the profile.

Military Airfield Pavements:

The District will furnish the section of the pavement structure, a brief description of foundation explorations, materials investigations, field tests, a statement of values used in pavement design, basis for selection of pavement section, and a description of the adopted pavement sections. A copy of the Geotechnical Report will be appended to the Design Analysis.

Future expansion: Where buildings are to be designed for future expansion, discuss provisions to be taken to insure the projected construction will proceed in a trouble-free fashion. State if no provisions have been made for future expansion.

Drawings

Topography: The topography drawing should show only the existing site conditions.

Demolition and new construction should not be shown on this drawing. The topography drawing could be screened and used as a base map on which to show features to be demolished, or new features to be constructed on the site. In any event the topography drawing should stand-alone so that the construction surveyor will know where to find control and other necessary information about the site.

Soil Explorations and Logs: The Sacramento District's drawings, showing the boring stations and logs of boring, will be incorporated into the final drawing set by the A-E.

Demolition: Provide sufficient dimensions of the structures to be demolished; for pavement structures, identify the type, whether reinforced, and the thickness; indicate if the utility lines are to be removed or abandoned in place; always indicate if the structure is to be removed to grade or to what vertical distance below grade; show the size of any trees to be removed.

Siting: Show the dimensions of all new work and the relation of new work to existing facilities using offset dimensions from existing structures; show sufficient horizontal and vertical controls to clearly indicate the siting of the facility, if necessary use coordinates for locating the new work. Only one benchmark will be used, except where a very large area is involved. Indicate the benchmark location, elevation, and description. Provide a north arrow and at least two horizontal control points. With airfields, this information must be shown for each separate area of pavement. Clearly locate the on-site borrow and disposal areas. If they are on-post, but away from the construction site, show them on the Location Map of the G-sheet drawings. If there are no on-post borrow and disposal areas, provide a note to that effect on the G-sheet and, if possible, indicate on the Vicinity Map, or with a note, where they would be located. Indicate possible future construction using short dashed lines. Show the facility superimposed on the existing topography map and the soil borings locations.

Grading and Paving: Provide a north arrow and show the grading and drainage conditions including swales, direction of drainage, point of discharge, and ditches using notes, symbols, spot elevations and contours.

Provide separate signing and striping drawings when extensive work of this nature is required. Do not show fence lengths. Show the location and dimensions of all railroad tracks and features. Provide details showing switches, turnouts, and road crossings. Include all elements of the track section with depth and compaction requirements for the ballast construction. Provide plan and profile for roads, runways, taxiways, channels, and other work that requires longitudinal layout and grade controls. The drawings shall include the new features and alignment superimposed on existing topography. Show stationing and finished grades at 100-foot intervals with intermediate points as required by vertical and horizontal curves and other features. Drawing sheets may be both single or double plan and profile. Provide cross sections at 100-foot intervals, or less, as required by topography and grading. Cross sections can be included in contract documents or as supplements to the plans.

Utilities, Exterior

In congested areas or in areas where data in unclear as to the exact location of utilities, the utilities drawings should contain the following note:

"Elevations of utilities are given to the extent of information available. Where elevations are not given at points of existing utilities crossings, such elevations shall be determined by the contractor and reported to the Contracting Officer. When unknown lines are exposed, their location and elevation shall likewise be reported."

Landscape Architectural Design

Design Analysis - Narrative/Calculations

State what general type of vegetation exists both on the installation and in the immediate vicinity of the project. Although this project should be harmonious with adjacent landscape treatments or vegetative communities, the design need not necessarily be identical. Refer to the Base Design Guide or Base Plant List, if available. The theme must consider future long range design continuity, and compatibility with customer needs and maintenance constraints. Describe how this design satisfies these requirements and provide rationale for the proposed landscape treatment (e.g., mitigation, enhancement, erosion control). All new Army irrigation projects require specific authorization from Headquarters, Department of the Army. In general, irrigation systems receive consideration only in arid or semi-arid areas where rainfall is less than 25-inches annually. Indicate if an irrigation system is authorized. If an irrigation system is to be included define type, i.e. bubbler, spay, and drip. State waterline design pressures, if domestic or reclaimed and possible tap location.

Site Furnishings: Identify if required quantities and materials for benches, tables, trash receptacles, ash urns, removable and fixed bollards.

Site Recreation Equipment: Identify if required quantities of any volleyball, basketball or tennis courts, running track, PAR course, sports field, etc.

Structural Design

Following are the basis for structural design:

DoD Building Codes (General Building Requirements) UFC 3-301-01 Structural Engineering UFC 3-310-04 Seismic Design of Building UFC 4-010-01, DoD Minimum Anti-Terrorism Standards for Buildings

Design Analysis - Narrative/Calculations

It is extremely important that the A-E, EOR, indicate clearly their strategy for an acceptable/appropriate Quality Control of all design effort. As a minimum, it is expected that the project be Peer reviewed by a competent engineer during the development of the design work.

Independent Technical Review may be required at some point or may be a strategy that the A-E will consider.

All design analysis, narratives and calculations must clearly indicate that the product has been Peer Reviewed prior to the submittal. The government will not act as the Peer Reviewer for the A-E and any submittals delivered not meeting these requirements will be returned without any further action. The A-E is fully responsible for any delays in delivering quality product for the government’s review. A-E’s Peer Reviewer must be identified at this stage of the project and must initial every sheet of submittal. This requirement also applies to other phases of the project submittal.

Design Loadings: Provide a discussion of all loadings to be used, to include floor loads (dead load and live load), wind, snow, earthquake, etc., together with data to justify any proposed deviations from established criteria. Seismic design shall be in accordance with the latest

4-15

International Building Code (IBC) with any exceptions required per UFC 3-310-04 Seismic Design of Building. Indicate the basic ground motions to be used in seismic design of the building. Provide a narrative describing the planned seismic design and expected structural seismic performance of the building. Provide any applicable design parameter per required criteria.

Foundation Design: Provide a statement referencing the Geotechnical Report, which will be attached as an appendix to the Design Analysis. The Geotechnical Report will normally be provided by the COE. Describe the type of foundation proposed, site class, frost depth, need and type of vapor barrier, estimated depth of bearing, allowable bearing values, compaction requirements, and any other measures mentioned in the Geotechnical Report or recommended by the designer. When the Geotechnical Report recommends two foundation types as being acceptable an economic analysis and comparison between the two methods shall be presented and the most cost effective method shall be selected.

Structural System Selection: As much as possible a uniform and consistent structural system shall be used in design of the structural system. Availability of local labor and materials will be considered in selecting the systems. A portion of the structure large enough to be representative of the entire building will be designed in enough detail to provide for a labor and materials estimate that will be the basis of the structural system selection. Each of the systems should be presented on a sketch indicating the sizes of all the framing members for each area of the building with a different framing scheme. Provide calculations used to size members.

Investigate various column spacing. For a one-story structure, the cost comparison will be done for the roof structure and the wall system. For a multi-story facility, a cost comparison will be presented for the roof structure, the floor system, and the wall system. Attach the comparison to the Design Analysis as an appendix. Provide a narrative description of all the potential solutions and indicate that the most economical has been selected.

Additions to Existing Buildings: For those cases in which additions to existing building(s) are to be constructed, the addition shall be physically separated from the existing building so as to avoid interfering and modifying the seismic performance of the existing building. Seismic separation shall be accomplished by seismic joints through the height of the building and be compatible with the architectural requirements. When the addition and the existing building(s) are to be physically attached and no seismic separation is possible, the A-E shall provide calculations for the “integral structure'' (i.e., new plus existing). In no case shall the strength and performance of the existing structure be compromised. Where practicable, the A-E shall upgrade the lateral resistance of the existing system to meet current code.

Building Alterations: In the projects involving alterations and/or modifications, the A-E shall be responsible for the investigation and design necessary to strengthen existing structural members, which are structurally affected by the alterations.

Seismic Evaluation and Rehabilitation for Existing Buildings: ICSSC RP 8 / NIST GCR 11- 917-12, Standards of Seismic Safety for Existing Federally Owned and Leased Buildings (RP 8) identifies trigger situations requiring evaluation seismic evaluation and rehabilitation for existing structures. Refer to:

ASCE 41 Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings

4-16

International Existing Building Code (IEBC)

Seismic Evaluation Submittal Requirements: The seismic evaluation study, complete with Concept fix (if required) and associated costs, shall be submitted. The seismic evaluation study shall be performed concurrent with other design work and coordinated with other design work to the maximum degree possible, (i.e., be feasible from a functional/architectural standpoint, etc.).

The seismic evaluation study and its impact on the project CWE shall be approved by the COE prior to incorporation into the project's bid documents.

Future Expansion: Where buildings are to be designed for future expansion, discuss provisions to be taken to insure the projected construction will proceed in a trouble free fashion. State that no provisions have been made for future expansion, if this is the case.

Architectural Design

Design Analysis – Narrative/Calculations

State the general type of architectural treatment that exists both on the installation, and in the immediate vicinity of the project. Although selected design features of this structure should be repeated from existing structures, the design need not necessarily be identical. Motif must follow the most recent, predominant, existing theme of the installation to insure future long-range design continuity. Give description as to how this design satisfies these requirements.

Give a description of particular framing and wall systems selected, others considered, and reasons for selection. If setbacks are involved, establish the relevance of setback design provisions.
