MEMORANDUM FOR 27 SOCES/CEP

FROM: 27 SOCES/CEP

SUBJECT: CAFB Design Review Submittal Standards

1. Cannon Air Force Base (CAFB) requires periodic submittals for review during project design. The number of required submittals may vary with the scope and complexity of each project. Specific submittal requirements for each project shall be defined in the Contract for design services. In every case, submittals must be well drafted, graphically clear and legible. The following requirements are based on the USAF Project Managers Guide for Design and Construction, Revised November 28, 2007.

2. Charette Reports: A Design Charette is the initial intensive effort to gather inputs from facility users and other interested parties with pertinent information or expertise. The Charette Report summarizes the information gathered in terms of basic user requirements, facility size and organization, cost and schedule. In addition, a Charette Report may identify various documents, codes and standards that are applicable to the project and particular concerns that must be addressed early in the design process. A Charette Report should include the following:

a. A written summary of topics discussed, decisions reached and issues remaining.

b. Schematic drawings indicating basic site plans, building plans and elevations resulting from the Charette.

c. Upon USAF approval of the Charette Report, the design team may proceed with project design.

3. 30% Design Review Submittals: The 30% Submittal should demonstrate an understanding of the project requirements and limitations and present a practical and appropriate design solution. Unless specifically waived, the 30% Submittal shall include as a minimum:

a. An updated parametric cost estimate with a summary of possible value engineering considerations.

b. A design narrative and code analysis by all disciplines (civil, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, communications, fire detection/protection, etc.)

c. A Site Plan (or plans) depicting project location, site boundaries and access, building footprints and orientation, stand-off distances, utility types, sizes and locations, and schematic grading and drainage strategies. Include a parking plan with quantities and basic dimensions, and depicting site access.

d. Building floor plans indicating door and window locations and roof overhangs, with basic dimensions and labels to determine room sizes and uses.

e. Building roof plan identifying roof slopes and materials, proposed rooftop equipment and roof hatch locations and illustrating the roof drainage strategy.

f. Building elevation drawings coordinated with the floor plans, identifying materials and openings (doors and windows, etc.), scuppers and downspouts with vertical dimensions for parapets and roof heights.

g. At least three perspective renderings to illustrate building massing and fenestration, colors and basic materials.

h. Single-line schematic drawings for mechanical, electrical, communications, etc.

i. Interior design plans with preliminary furniture footprints.

j. A list of proposed specification sections for the project based on the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) format.

k. A summary of design issues and informational requirements to be resolved including surveys, geotechnical analyses and investigative reports.

l. A summary of waivers and authorizations required.

m. Upon USAF approval of the 30% Design Review Submittal, the project is considered 35% complete.

4. 60% Design Review Submittals: The 60% Submittal should show substantial progress in design development. Unless specifically waived, the 60% Submittal shall include as a minimum:

a. An updated parametric cost estimate with a summary of possible value engineering considerations.

b. A completed Site Plan (or plans) with all necessary dimensions and notations.

c. Completed building floor plans.

d. A completed building roof plan.

e. Completed building elevations.

f. Completed building sections.

g. Site plan drawings for Civil and Landscaping with proposed details and schedules.

h. Building plan drawings for Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, etc. with proposed details and schedules.

i. Completed interior design plans and schedules with color and material boards.

j. Draft specifications with a Table of Contents based on Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) format.

k. A summary of design issues and informational requirements to be resolved.

l. A summary of waivers and authorizations required.

m. Upon acceptance of the 60% Design Review Submittal, the project is considered 65% complete.

5. 90% Design Review Submittals: The A-E or Design-Builder must present the 90% Submittal as Ready to Advertise (RTA). Unless specifically waived, it shall include as a minimum:

a. An updated parametric cost estimate and unit costs for any work or materials of indefinite scope or quantity.

b. Completed drawings for all disciplines.

c. Completed project specifications for all disciplines.

d. A summary of waivers and authorizations required.

e. Upon acceptance of the 90% Design Review Submittal, the project is considered 95% complete.

6. 100% Corrected Final Design Submittals: The contractor for design services asserts that the drawings and specifications are complete and RTA (Ready to Advertise), and submits a complete, stamped and signed set of drawings and specifications to the Air Force for record keeping purposes.
