2. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

2.1 Base Location:

Hill Air Force Base is located near Ogden Utah approximately 30 miles north of Salt Lake City at an elevation of 4700 Ft above sea level.

2.2 Construction Season Limitations:

Earthwork can normally only be accomplished from 15 March to 15 November. Paving is normally accomplished from 15 May through 1 October. Structural work may generally be accomplished on a year round basis, but it must be protected from temperature extremes. Built-up roof construction is generally limited to the period from 15 May through 15 October.

2.3 Soil and Foundation Considerations:

Typical soils range from sand to silty sand with thin discontinuous layers of silty clay and clayey silt being common. Potable wells have a static water level of approximately 500 feet below the surface.

However, the perched water may be encountered at more shallow depths. The average soil pH is approximately 7.8. The soil resistivity ranges from 2,000 to 15,000 ohms/cm. Spread footings are the typical structural foundation. All footings shall be at least 3 feet below grade.

2.4 Surveying:

In the early 1990s, Hill AFB started gathering Regional data from the State of Utah. This data was stored in the Universal Transverse Mercator NAD27 and it remains in this projection and datum. All existing data is currently being updated according to the GeoBase Enterprise Architecture, Version 1.0, January 2003. The Common Installation Picture (CIP) and Mission Data Set (MDS) shall be stored in the Universal Transverse Mercator 1983 (UTM83) coordinate system, Transverse Mercator projection, Geodetic Reference System 1980 (GRS80) spheroid or World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) datum and metric coordinate units shall be used.

The design of these facilities shall follow the guidance provided by AFMC, Guidelines for Facilities Excellence, 1996.

4.12 Roof Drainage:

Provide gables at all entrances unless it is specifically unfeasible or has a canopy. Metal roofs shall be equipped with a snow management system. Use rain gutters only when gutters are the only feasible method available to channel runoff to the storm drain system or for safety considerations. Provide heat tape system with rain gutters.

4.13 1200 Zone Rest rooms: Alterations of 1200 Zone buildings will standardize the location of the rest rooms in the center of the buildings.

4.14 Roofs:

4.14.1 General: Roofing may utilize conventional or unconventional materials.

4.14.1.1 Headquarters AFMC. The use of single ply roofing will be further restricted to ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), fully adhered, and will be placed no higher than a single story height to minimize wind lift.

4.14.1.2 Conventional Roofing: Most projects will utilize conventional roofing materials for new and repair projects. Conventional materials are Built Up roof (BUR) including modified bitumen, asphalt shingles, or standing seam metal roofs. When specifying BUR, a 20-year guarantee is required and the installing contractor must be certified by the BUR manufacturer before their bid can be accepted.

14 APRIL

4.14.1.3 Unconventional Roofing: Unconventional roofing such as single ply or sprayed on membrane must be approved by HQ AFMC prior to use. If large areas of roof standing seam roofing are required by any project, the design shall provide gable entrances over all entranceways to prevent sheets of snow from sliding off and injuring personnel or damaging equipment in the fall zone.

4.14.2 Drainage: Sloped roofs shall be used in lieu of flat roofs when possible. To avoid snow sliding into door entryways roof gables will be used to the maximum extent possible. Hill AFB is located in a cold region, and because of past experience with ice and snow damage, the use of external gutters shall be limited to entryways where a roof gable is not possible. Drainage will be provided with a roof designed to slope away from personnel activity. The use of roof overhangs that extend over sidewalks is encouraged. Metal roofs shall not have internal guttering. Horizontal roof drains in unheated attic spaces shall be kept to a minimum to prevent freeze-ups.

4.14.3 Corrugated Cement Asbestos Roofs: These type roofs exist on a considerable number of roofs in the West area of Hill AFB. When it necessary to repair this type roof consideration should be given to replace the entire roof; however, it may be overlaid with plywood and asphalt shingles. The majority of the asbestos roofs have been encapsulated. If the contractor needs to mount new equipment or disturb the roof, great care should be taken to not disturb the asbestos.

4.14.4 Heat Tape: Heat tapes are to be avoided whenever possible. They are a maintenance problem, and most often do not receive routine maintenance at Hill AFB due to the lack of funds and maintenance personnel.

4.14.5 Plywood Decking: Fire retardant treated plywood (FTR) is banned on all new and re-roofing projects. This type of plywood deteriorates when used as roof decking. Untreated exterior glued plywood will be used for decking.

4.14.6 Roof Penetrations: All roof penetrations will be kept to a minimum. The Base roofing engineer will be consulted prior to calling for penetrations in new and existing roofs. This coordination will answer questions on existing roof warranties and recommended penetration details for both new and existing roofs.

4.15 Landscaping:

4.15.1 General: All new construction and major renovation projects, (facility construction, site design, and landscape construction) will follow best management practices and the following requirements.

4.15.2 Xeriscape Landscapes. Xeriscape landscaping will be the primary comprehensive approach to landscaping for water conservation and pollution prevention for all installation landscape projects.

Xeriscape uses native, naturally occurring plant material in the landscape design to convey a sense of regional context while embracing sustainable landscape design and preservation of native and endangered species. Native plants are more acclimated to the climate and require less irrigation. The xeriscape methodology is relevant to planning and design, soil analysis, selection of suitable plants, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, use of mulches, and appropriate maintenance choices. An emphasis will be given to a desert motif using water resistant plantings. Landscaping will emphasize the architectural lines and features of adjacent buildings and areas, and will be designed to require little or not pruning. Landscaping will be designed with year-around consideration for human comfort.

Passive solar cooling methods will be considered such as deciduous tree shading on the east, south and west exposures.

14 APRIL

4.15.3 The intent is to limit or eliminate the use of potable water for landscape irrigation. Irrigation typically uses potable water, although lower quality water is equally effective for irrigating landscapes.

Sources of non-potable water include: captured rainwater from roof and parking lot runoff; graywater from building systems; and municipal recycled water supply systems.

4.15.4 Water efficiency design strategies will be applied to landscape irrigation by the use of cycle irrigation methods to improve penetration and reduce runoff. For optimal growth, cycle irrigation provides the right amount of water at the right time and place. Designs/retrofits will include the use of low-precipitation-rate sprinklers (better distribution uniformity), bubbler/soaker systems, or drip irrigation systems. For technical information related to irrigation, see UFC 3-420-01, Plumbing Systems; UFGS 32 84 23, Underground Sprinkler Systems; and UFGS 32 84 24, Irrigation Sprinkler Systems.

4.15.5 Shrubs and Trees: Shrubs and trees will be the most drought resistant varieties, and where possible will be placed without irrigation sprinklers. Large trees will be planted with enough space to facilitate growth and trimming, which will normally dictate that they be planted at least 20-feet apart.

4.15.6 Slopes: All slopes shall be no steeper than 3 to 1. Provide slope protection using recent technology for all slopes.

4.15.7 Where lawn grass is used, it shall be provided with irrigation sprinklers, and will be sodded not begun from seed, except for dry land seeding applications. Irrigated lawns shall consider incorporation of a river-run rock or lava rock perimeter to preclude water over spray of sidewalks and pavements.

4.15.8 Restoration of Native Ground Cover: All native ground cover that is disturbed by construction and not scheduled for landscaping shall be re-seeded with drought resistant grasses and legumes.

Mixtures of dry land alfalfa, fairway crested wheat grass and Indian rice grass will be used in good sandy, loam soils. Use sand drop seed with fairway crested wheat grass in gravely soil. Machine drilling on generally level to mildly sloping ground is preferable. Hydro seeding should only be used on 3 to 1 slopes. This native ground cover seeding should take place in April, May, September and the first half of October only.

5. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT.

5.1 Policy:

Air Force Sustainable Design and Development (SDD) Policy memorandum requires that MILCON vertical new construction and major renovations projects (with climate control) are able to achieve LEED Silver level certification. In the case of building additions, this applies to portions of the facility within the scope of the project only. The policy further requires that other MILCON projects (horizontal, utility, and industrial) achieve a benchmark level of LEED credits, guidance for which is provided in the Air Force Sustainable Design and Development (SDD) Policy memorandum. In both instances, the LEED rating system referenced is LEED for New Construction and Major Renovations (LEEDNC). USGBC has other rating systems within its portfolio, including Existing Buildings (LEED- EB), Core and Shell (LEED-CS) and Commercial Interiors (LEEDCI).
