1.3 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS

1.3.1 In addition to the general guidelines contained in division 1 through 48 of this specification, the contractor will comply with the USAFA Design and Construction Standards. In cases where the general guidelines and the USAFA guidelines are in conflict the

USAFA guidelines take precedence. These standards are meant to provide a list of required products, mandatory design constraints, and mandatory construction criteria for all construction preformed on the United States Air Force Academy. The standards provide technical information to plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain Academy facilities. These criterions are to aid in the development of an acceptable project, meeting the requirements of the Academy, and shall not replace the work of the Designers or their best judgment. The goal is to assure that the Academy is provided with functional and long-lasting buildings, based on experience with existing Academy buildings, and maintenance issues that have been encountered. Electronic and printed copies of Academy

Standards should be periodically checked against the current electronic version prior to use to verify the copies are current.

The current electronic versions are available at the Headquarters

(HQ) USAF Academy Civil Engineer website address:

http://www.usafa.af.mil/cec. Included divisions are Architectural, Architect- Engineer Design, Civil, Communications, Computer

Drafting, Electrical, Environmental, General, Mechanical &

Mechanical Control, and Roof standards.

1.3.1.1 Standards Content

a. The Standards are divided into several chapters and sections similar to the Unified Facilities Criteria Format Standard (UFC

1-300-01).

(1) Design Requirements

(a) The section defines the general site and building requirements. These are meant to be complementary to the requirements defined in the Design Instructions. Specific requirements, as well as other applicable codes, requirements, or documents must be adhered to as well;

this Guideline lists only general requirements and concerns for all Academy work.

(2) Construction Requirements:

(a) For certain equipment and materials sole source brands are required. This section provides required materials, and levels of performance are listed where applicable. Specific requirements for the development of specification sections are included.

(3) Drawings

(a) This section includes typical details and designs used on the http://www.usafa.af.mil/cec

SECTION 01 00 07 Page 3 of 8

Academy.

(4) Appendixes

(a) This section includes typical definitions, Academy acronyms, and abbreviations found in the Standard. Documents referenced in the Standard are listed in this section.

1.3.1.2 Procedures for Deviating From Academy Standard

a. If a designer or contractor wishes to deviate from a Standard set forth in these documents, the following formal process shall be followed:

(1) Submit in writing to the Project/Construction Manager any deviation from the Standard being proposed with justification.

(2) The Project/Construction Manager forwards this deviation and the Project/Construction Manager’s recommendation to HQ USAFA/CECE for review.

(3) The deviation will be reviewed and approved/disapproved by HQ USAFA/CECE and returned to the interested parties with a copy to the file.

1.4 FIRE HYDRANT CONNECTIONS

1.4.1 Only compatible adapters shall be utilized for hydrant connections.

All connections to fire hydrants shall be provided with a backflow preventer. A hydrant wrench of the correct size shall be used to control the flow.

1.6 WORK CLEARANCE REQUEST

1.6.1 The Contractor shall obtain and process an AF Form 103, Base Civil Engineer Work Clearance Request, commonly known as a “Digging

Permit,” for each task that requires any excavation on USAFA to a depth greater than four (4) inches.

1.6.1.1 The Contractor shall assist in developing location maps showing exact location and description of the work to be accomplished. The

Contractor must mark the limits of site work/excavation to indicate location, direction, length, and depth of site work/excavation with water-soluble white paint prior to beginning the coordination of the AF Form 103. Should any of the coordination points indicate additional utility lines or structures to those already shown on the drawings, by sketch on the Contractor's drawing or by field location marking, the

SECTION 01 00 07 Page 4 of 8

Contractor shall be responsible for the protection of each of the indicated items. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to verify the exact location of all indicated utility lines and structures, and for the protection of the same, in the project work area. Should damage occur to any utility line or structure, the Contractor shall be responsible for the prompt repair of the damage to return the item to its original working condition. If site conditions indicate the location of utility lines to be located other than as marked, the Contractor shall bring such discrepancies to the attention of the CO before continuing with the excavation.

1.6.1.2 The Contractor will notify the Utility Notification Center of Colorado (UNCC), 1-800- 922-1987. UNCC will provide a locate number, which must be supplied to USAFA before the Form 103 processing can be approved.
