CHANGE RECORD

Doc.

Version Date Process Owner/Ext. Description

1.0 03/31/21 Z. Edwards/(202)374-5570 Basic issue. This document supersedes the A/E Project

Manual, dated 12/15/16; TFDR-20-001, dated 08/24/20; and TFDR-20-002, dated 11/10/20.

1.1 12/31/21 Z. Edwards/(202)374-5570 Identify that the TFDS should be used, when possible, for modernize/sustain projects where an entire system is being replaced. Provide a link to the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings and Associated Instruction.

Major revision to Chapter 4, Civil Engineering and Chapter 8, Structural Engineering. In Paragraph 9.5, HVAC System Requirements, removed link to Federal energy code requirements. Revise Paragraph C.4.3, Structural Calculations.

2.0 08/01/22 Z. Edwards/(202)374-5570 Identify that the TFDS should be used, when possible, for modernize/sustain projects where an entire system is being replaced. Identify that an Electrical and Mechanical Engineer, and Architect preparing any portion of the design document must be registered and licensed to practice within the state or territory of the project site. Clarify Energy and Sustainability guidance. Major revision to Chapter 4, Civil Engineering and Chapter 8, Structural Engineering. Add Chapter 5, Architectural Interiors. Revise Paragraph C.4.3, Structural Calculations. Changes are identified with a change bar in the outer margin of the page.

2.1 12/13/22 Z. Edwards/(202)374-5570 In Paragraph 3.4, Energy and Sustainability, identify the applicable version of the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings and Associated Instructions and associated link. In Paragraph 4.7, Site Structures and Apparatuses, add site lighting requirements for dumpster enclosures. In Section 5.13.2, ATCT Stairs, clarify the minimum stairway width. In Table 7-2, ATCT Cab Room Finish Schedule, clarify that raised access floor systems are not permitted in the cab. In Section 7.3.7, Cab Room, add a requirement for a sensor-controlled light. In Table 8-2, Design Loads and Events, correct Wind Acceleration and Drift from 100-year to 1-year and Snow Load from 500 year to 50 year. In Section 9.5, HVAC System Requirements, clarify that the design must account for proper clearance for code-compliant working spaces. Change all references to the cab window washing to reflect cab window de-fogging.

In Section B.6, Fire Protection and Life Safety, clarify the requirements for a Fire Protection Engineer.

2.2 08/30/24 Z. Edwards/(202)374-5570 Revise Section 3.4, Energy and Sustainability, to reflect current procedures. In Section 4.7, Site Structures and Apparatuses, revise Item I, Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. Revise Chapter 6, Architectural Enclosures, and Chapter 12, Fire Protection and Life Safety, to reflect current procedures. In Table C-1, clarify that Temporary structures to be dismantled/relocated, Topographical and Site Survey, Under Slab Drainage, Utilities Layout Plan, and Utility Details fall under the Civil Engineering. Update Section D.1, Cost Estimate Preparation. Changes are identified with a change bar in the outer margin of the page.
