6.4 Storm Drainage

This project in an undeveloped area would meet the exemption from permitting criteria under Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Rule 62-330. However, it is proposed within an existing storm drainage management system that was designed for the Combat Weather complex under project FTEV023001. FTEV023001 records indicate the original design intent was to meet the then-applicable requirements of FAC 62-25 by utilizing swales for stormwater treatment, which would qualify for an exemption from permitting. Records are not available verifying that the storm system is functioning as designed to meet the treatment requirements. Current inspection has verified that the drainage system does not conform to as-built drawings. Therefore, professional engineering evaluation with geotechnical investigation and survey of the entire original drainage system is required. Modifications to the stormwater conveyance and treatment system and the associated new permitting under FAC 62-330 are to be included in this project. The Air Force is exempt from permit application fees, but all other documents associated with the FAC 62-330 application for permit will be required.

10. STRUCTURAL DESIGN

10.1 Codes and References.

10.2 General Design Requirements

10.2.1 The Structural Engineer shall be responsible for the design of the complete structural building system. A complete structural system for the building shall include foundations, walls, roof framing, roof diaphragms, lateral load stability, framing and connection of any architectural features, and the support of mechanical and electrical equipment.

Structural design of the building shall be compatible with the architectural design. Structural design shall be in accordance with the criteria, requirements, and guidance provided in the International Building Code, 2015, and the following requirements. In event of a conflict, the most stringent shall govern design.

10.2.2 The main structural system is a pre-engineered metal building with rigid frames and with portal frames providing the lateral. The walls will be veneer backed by metal studs that span from the slab to a wind beam at the eave of the building that is provided with the metal building system. The roof structure is to be constructed of metal Z-purlins spanning between the rigid frames and supporting a standing seam metal roof system.

10.2.2.1 Columns and bracing at perimeter walls shall be inside stud framing cavity to avoid projections into the interior of the building.

10.2.2.2 Interior columns are not permitted based on the architectural layout presented in this RFP.

10.2.3 Variations from level or from slopes specified for roof decks, floors, ceilings, beam soffits, lintels, sills, horizontal grooves, or other conspicuous lines shall be as follows: for overall length of line or surface of 10 feet or less, +/- 1/8 inch; up to 20 feet, +/- 1/4 inch; up to 40 feet, +/- 3/8 inch.

10.2.4 Where raised or depressed floors are provided, structural slab elevations shall be adjusted so that all finished floor levels are the same.

10.2.5 A minimum safety factor of 1.5 shall be provided against uplift, sliding, overturning, or flotation.
