CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION Bulletin Issue No. 2018-04 April 24, 2018 Type: Policy

Subject: Categories of Work Classification

Enclosures: Categories of Work Classification Guidelines

Cancellation: ECB 2006-04 Capital Improvements Categories of Work Classification

1. Purpose

This Engineering and Construction Bulletin (ECB) supersedes the issued ECB 2006-04 dated 11 May 2006 which addressed the Categories of Work Classification Policy for the

Capital Improvements (CI) and Public Works (PW) Business Lines. This ECB will update and clarify the risk-based criteria process for classifying both in-house and contracted projects based on the level of NAVFAC design and engineering.

NOTE: ECB 2006-04 also addressed the construction oversight aspect which has been removed in this policy. The construction oversight aspect and guidance is currently in many of the Business Management System (BMS) processes, NETOPS and CI Business

Operations Plans, which more appropriately address varying performance levels due to available resources.

2. Background

In an effort to improve productivity and reduce production cost to deliver NAVFAC’s products and services, there has been a renewed focus to eliminate redundancy and/or unnecessary efforts associated with planning, designing, procuring, and sustaining facilities for Supported Commands. NAVFAC’s goal is to safely and responsibly deliver

Capital Improvements’ products and services with the right amount of engineering through either in-house or contract execution at the optimum life cycle cost.

3. Applicability

This ECB is effective immediately for all projects executed by NAVFAC at US Navy and

Marine Corps installations both Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside

Continental United States (OCONUS).

4. Policy

A. In conjunction with PW, CI, and Asset Management (AM) the following matrix shall be used to accurately determine which Business Line (BL) is responsible for leading the various phases of the project.

Enclosure 1 - Categories of Work Classification Guidelines

This enclosure is provided as guidance for classifying design and engineering work. The following list of project examples is provided for reference only and is not all-inclusive.

Characteristics could result in actual projects being classified differently (for example, a fencing project may not always be classified as Category IV if circumstances dictate a higher level of design/engineering). Projects including any traditional design (full plans, specifications, and cost estimate for DBB projects; or 6-part Request for Proposals (RFP) for

DB projects) must be classified as either Category I or Category II, and as such must accrue

DIP on an E2 eProjects record and must be executed by CIBL.

DEFINITIONS:

Design is defined as the development of plans and/or specifications to execute a construction or renovation project. Typical design product is construction contract documents such as traditional design documents (full plans, specifications, and cost estimate for DBB projects; or 6-part Request for Proposals (RFP) for DB projects).

Engineering is the analysis and evaluation of alternatives that results in a set of recommendations to solve a problem. Typical engineering output is a report or letter.

The lead BL for execution is determined by the Product &Service (P&S), as defined in the

P&S Matrix in NAVFAC NOTICE 7040.5. For Category I and Category II projects, CI is the lead only when the P&S is inducted as an E2 or an E5 eProjects record. Other BLs have the project management lead for their P&S.

Characteristics and examples of the four categories of work are provided on the following pages of this enclosure:

Category I Multi-Discipline Design

Category II Tailored Design

Category III Limited Engineering – No Design

Category IV No Engineering

**NOTE: Roofing projects may trigger analysis/ study by CIBL via N20 (if at least 51% of the roof is replaced), but may not necessarily require design (E2). If study finds that roof fails to meet 75% of the current code capacity, then an E2 project would be necessary for structural roof repair design, which would make it a Cat II effort.
