SECTION 1: ADMINISTRATION

SECTION 1-1: PLAN OF THE MANUAL

1-1-00

A. Manual Organization

The intent of this document is to summarize important minimum materials requirements as mandated by the NIH Design Requirements Manual (DRM) and to incorporate site-specific requirements for construction of new facilities as well as improvements, alterations, and major repairs to existing facilities on the NIEHS campus. The organization of this document is intended to mirror that of the DRM. Not all sections and/or subsections from the DRM have been included in this document; but they are still requirements. Tables, figures, paragraphs, and lines of text with a vertical revision line in the left margin indicate a site-specific requirement that differs from the NIH DRM.

There is a revision line to the left of this paragraph. Double underline indicates text that is new to this revision (figures and tables will not be underlined.)

The NIH DRM can be found online at:

http://orf.od.nih.gov/PoliciesAndGuidelines/BiomedicalandAnimalResearchFacilitiesDesi gnPoliciesandGuidelines/Pages/DesignRequirementsManualPDF.aspx

The Facilities Management Branch-Research Triangle Park (FMB-RTP) Engineering Standards and Material Requirements reflect and document the minimum standards and material requirements for construction and design work at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (NIEHS, RTP, NC) campus. The work of both construction and design contractors shall adhere to this document. Contractors are encouraged to propose superior or alternate materials or methods; however, all deviations must be pre-approved by National Institutes of Health/Office of Research Facilities (NIH/ORF) and shall be considered a variance.

Contractors shall comply with the latest issues of all construction codes, ordinances, and standards (federal, state, local, etc.) which govern and have jurisdiction. If conflicts occur in the requirements established by these publications, the most stringent shall govern. All federal, state, and local requirements apply. Contractors shall, without additional expense to the Government, be responsible for obtaining any necessary approvals of plans and specifications from state, county, and city authorities (such as fire marshal, building inspectors, etc.) in connection with the development of construction permits and licenses.

The appendix of this document provides supplemental guidelines and information for contractors and customers involved with laboratory renovations. The intent of the appendix is not to mirror the appendix of the DRM.

E. Effective Date This manual is effective May 28, 2014 or date on which it is added to contract documents.

http://orf.od.nih.gov/PoliciesAndGuidelines/BiomedicalandAnimalResearchFacilitiesDesignPoliciesandGuidelines/Pages/DesignRequirementsManualPDF.aspx http://orf.od.nih.gov/PoliciesAndGuidelines/BiomedicalandAnimalResearchFacilitiesDesignPoliciesandGuidelines/Pages/DesignRequirementsManualPDF.aspx

4-19-2016 Page 9

SECTION 1-12: SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS & PROCEDURES

1-12-00 A. CAD Drawings

1. General. Construction drawings shall convey to contractor, manufacturer, or fabricator the information necessary for accomplishing the required work. It is essential that the drawings be accurate and explicit. All elements of work shall be properly coordinated to ensure that there are no conflicts between disciplines on drawings or in specifications. They are also used to avoid duplication of information on the drawings and in the specifications.

a. The information shown on the drawings must be sufficient for satisfactory completion of the project.

b. Permanent survey control points, showing station grid coordinates, shall be shown on the drawings for all new construction on NIEHS property. Where possible, building column lines shall be shown.

c. The Contractor shall utilize the standard drawing border provided by the Government. All sheets shall have the standard drawing border.

d. When applicable, complete finish, door, and fixture schedules shall be included on the drawings.

e. Do not combine disciplines on drawings. There shall be only one discipline on one sheet, except on very small jobs where approved and directed by the Government.

f. Final design drawings shall be signed, sealed, and dated.

g. The contractor shall comply with the latest issues of all construction codes, ordinances, and standards (Federal, state, local, etc.) which govern and have jurisdiction. If conflicts occur in the requirements established by these publications, the most stringent shall govern. The current jurisdictional status of NIEHS government-owned or leased facilities is “proprietorial”, not exclusive. All federal, state, and local requirements apply.

2. Order of Drawings. The main purpose of the recommended sequence for the drawing sheets is to provide a simple logical guide for assembling graphic components. This system is designed to be flexible to compensate for differences in both project complexity and size. The sequence of the sheets is to align with the order of construction and go from a general to detailed level of design description.

3. Hardcopy sheet order. The hard copy drawing sheets for a project shall follow the organization shown below. Depending on the size and scope of a drawing set, drawing sets may be numbered and bound in a single set or by subsets. All subsets may not apply or more detailed groupings may be required depending on the scope, size, and complexity of the project.

Drawings shall be arranged in the following order:

4-19-2016 Page 10

A. General (G) (title sheet/ index of drawings/ symbols and abbreviations).

B. Civil (C) (plot and/or vicinity plans and utility plans).

C. Landscape (L).

D. Architectural (A) (including interior design).

E. Structural (S) (including foundation plan).

F. Fire Protection (F).

G. Plumbing (P).

H. Mechanical (M) (such as heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning).

I. Electrical (E).

4. Drawing File Names. Drawing files shall be named by the following eight character conventions. First two characters shall be the last two digits of the year in which the project is created, the second two digits shall be the project drawing number assigned by the COR, the next character shall be the discipline (i.e. A-Architectural, E-Electrical, C-Civil, P-Plumbing, M-Mechanical), and the last three characters shall be the sheet number.

Project Drawing No. Discipline Sheet No.

4 Characters 1 Character 3 Characters

EXAMPLE:

1234 M 001

PROJECT # (TO BE ASSIGNED BY NIH COR), MECHANICAL, SHEET 1

5. Scale. All site plans, plot plans, floor plans, contour maps, and other drawings of this type shall be drawn to scale. Actual drawing scale will be determined at plot and by the initial drawing setup. Use standard engineering/architectural scales in all cases. Scales shall be selected so that the drawing provides the most detailed and decipherable drawing graphic possible. All floor plans shall have a graphic scale and a north arrow.

6. Text Height Defaults. Text height defaults are based on scale. Table 5: Text Height: Decimal, Table 6: Text Height: English, Table 7: Text Height: Arch. Scale indicates the default text height for each scale available for each of the disciplines. These values also represent NIH’s text height requirements for notes, dimension text, etc.

7. Format. In addition to the signed PDF files; electronic files shall be provided that are directly readable by the AutoCAD 2015 without conversion. Before a file is placed on the delivery media the following steps shall be performed, if applicable:

a. Remove all extraneous graphics and drawing entities existing outside the drawing border.

b. Zoom the drawing to the extents of the drawing area.

c. Ensure that no external reference files (X-Refs) or non-AutoCAD software packages are referenced in the drawing or required for viewing/editing.

d. Ensure that the only font type used in the drawing is ARIAL.SHX.

e. Ensure that the drawing can be plotted using the extents plot routine without the need for additional manipulation. This includes maintaining the

4-19-2016 Page 11 layer state used in all submitted plots. Consequently, there shall be a separate drawing file for every plotted sheet submitted for the project.

f. Include any standard sheets (i.e., abbreviation sheets, standard symbol sheets, etc.) necessary for a complete project.

g. Ensure that the file names comply with the eight-character file naming requirements outlined in this manual.

h. Disks may contain compressed or zipped files only if they are self-extracting in nature. Otherwise, only AutoCAD drawings in *.dwg format will be accepted. Similarly, a single file cannot be spanned across multiple disks unless it is self-extracting.

8. Delivery Media. The preferred type of delivery media for data exchange depends both on the hardware/software platforms utilized in creating a drawing/data file and the size of the file. Generally, digital data sets larger than 9 megabytes (MB) should be furnished via compact disk-read only memory (CD-ROM) or DVD.

9. External Label. When exchanging digital media, an external label shall contain, at a minimum, the following information:

a. Format and version (e.g., Microsoft Windows XP) of the operating system on which the media was created and the software used to create it (e.g.

AutoCAD 2016).

b. The sequence number in the following format:

Disk N of T where N = disk sequence number and T= the total number of disks.

c. The project description, project number (contract number and task order number), construction request number, COR, and date.

10. Transmittal Sheet. A transmittal sheet shall accompany the media containing, at a minimum, the following information:

a. The same information included on the external label of each CD and the file names and descriptions for each file.

b. The instructions for restoring/transferring the files from the media, if required.

c. Certification that the delivery media is free of known computer viruses.

11. Drawing Sizes. Full drawing sheet size for FMB-RTP is 24” x 36”, unless otherwise specified by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Where a larger sheet size is desirable, 30” x 42” is available, but approval must be obtained from the COR. Typical A/E projects (contract documents) will be prepared on 24” x 36” size sheets, with 11” x 17” available for half size drawings and 8½” x 11” allowable with COR permission.

12. Project Title. Use the project title provided by the COR.

13. Title Block. Use the NIH, FMB-RTP Standard title blocks provided by the COR.

Fill out per descriptions and figures below. These have been standardized with the local standard layers. Where Johnson Controls, Inc. drawings are included

4-19-2016 Page 12 for reference only by the designer in a project, drawings shall be included in the drawing set and with the NIH, FMB-RTP standard title block. Use of up to two Johnson Controls, Inc. drawings per full size sheet is allowed as long as text and figures are legible at half size.

FIGURE 1: DRAWING TITLE BLOCK EXAMPLE

A. DRAWING FILE PATH. Dynamically updated complete file paths of the drawing location shall be included on the side of the drawing outline.

FIGURE 2: A - DRAWING FILE PATH EXAMPLE

4-19-2016 Page 13

B. DRAWING INFORMATION. The initials of the designer, the drawer, and the checker shall be listed in capital letters. The file name of the individual drawing file shall be listed next to “FILE NAME”. The drawing number/discipline/sheet number convention described previously shall be used on all drawings in the “DRAWING NO.” section. The total sheet number shall be the total number of drawings for all sections.

FIGURE 3: B - DRAWING INFORMATION/SHEET NUMBER EXAMPLE

C. TITLES. The “PROJECT TITLE” shall be listed as it appears on the contract award document. The “DRAWING TITLE” shall be a title that uniquly describes the information on the current sheet and shall not be repeated for other drawing sheets. The titles shall be aligned to the left.

FIGURE 4: C - TITLE EXAMPLE

4-19-2016 Page 14

D. CONTRACTOR AND BUILDING INFORMATION. The information shall be filled in, where applicable, for each line of text. The text shall be aligned to the left. Where the prompt does not apply to a project, fill in “N/A”. ‘CONS.

WORK’ refers to the consultant’s internal project number. ‘WRK REQ.

NO.’ refers to the construction request number provided in the project statement of work.

FIGURE 5: D - CONTRACTOR AND BUILDING INFORMATION EXAMPLE

4-19-2016 Page 15

E. REVISION BLOCK. As revisions to a drawing sheet occur, revisions shall be marked both in the central part of the drawing and in the revision block.

The mark letter shall increase in alphebetical order for pre-construction drawings. The mark number shall increase in numerical order starting at 1 for revisions after construction. Once construction drawings are issued, all pre-construction revisions are deleted in the revision block.

FIGURE 6: E - REVISION BLOCK EXAMPLE

F. SEAL BLOCK. Final drawings shall be signed and sealed. Where more than one seal is required on a sheet, the logo space may be used. The license number and name must be clearly legible. The firm license number shall be provided where required by the Board.

FIGURE 7: F - SEAL BLOCK EXAMPLE

4-19-2016 Page 16

G. LOGO BLOCK. This space may be used for prime and sub contractor logos.

FIGURE 8: G - LOGO BLOCK EXAMPLE

14. Line Characteristics. Although monotone line work is not contractually improper, drawings employing varied line widths substantially improve their readability.

Most commercial CAD plotters provide an extensive variety of line widths.

A. Color: One reason to use color in CAD drawings is to improve the clarity of the drawing on a computer monitor. However, in AutoCAD applications, color is also used to delineate individual layers and/or define the line thicknesses of drawing elements on the final (plotted) drawing sheet.

Note: For this standard, specific colors and line widths are assigned (standardized) to individual layers and shall not be changed for the master electronic as-builts.

15. Conventions and Symbols. Conventions and symbols must be clearly identified on the drawings and consistently used throughout.

16. Lettering. NIH/NIEHS uses AutoCAD’s Arial font as the standard text font for all basic text entities on a contract drawing. No other font type is permitted on a contract drawing. The Arial font provides the maximum readability and transportability of text entities between CAD drawings.

A. Plotting. Printers and plotters are controlled by files called pen tables or feature tables. These files (tables) convert line thicknesses in an electronic file to line thicknesses on a paper drawing. Properly apply the pen tables based on the printer/plotter used to produce high quality drawings.

17. Layering. NIH/NIEHS uses a modified Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Master Format for assigning layers in CAD drawings. Refer to Table 8: Common Base Layer Name List to see a list of layers. A layer script file and layer linetype file can be provided upon request. These layers are the only ones that shall be used in the master electronic as-built files.

4-19-2016 Page 17

18. Ownership. The Government, for itself and such others as it deems appropriate, will have unlimited rights to all information and materials furnished to the government and documentation thereof, reports and listings, and all other items pertaining to the work and services pursuant to this agreement including any copyright. Unlimited rights under this contract are rights to use, duplicate, or disclose data, and information, in whole or in part in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever without compensation to or approval from the Contractor.

The Government will at all reasonable times have the right to inspect the work and will have access to and the right to inspect the work and will have access to and the right to make copies of the above-mentioned items. All digital files and data, and other items generated under this contract, shall become the property of the Government.

19. As-Built Drawing Procedure. The As-Built Drawing Procedure contains the steps that a contractor must perform when adding to or editing the master electronic drawings for the NIEHS facility located in Research Triangle Park, NC as a part of a project. A contractor must make these changes when a project affects architectural, mechanical, electrical, etc. aspects of the NIEHS facility so that the drawings stay up-to-date and changes from various projects are incorporated into a single master electronic drawing.

A. Contractor Requests Current Drawings.

This step is appropriate when the contractor has made substantial progress in the project and is ready to integrate the project changes with the master electronic drawings. The contractor is to contact the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the project drawings. The contractor must specify which Building/Module/Floor location(s) is required for the changes and which project number/description the modifications are for. The contractor may not use drawings provided for design for this purpose, as the file has likely been updated.

B. Contractor Receives Current Drawings.

The COR will reply to a request for current electronic drawings by emailing the files to the contractor. These electronic files have been standardized so that the number and property of AutoCAD layer names, layer colors, linetypes, and layer descriptions remain constant (Table 8: Common Base Layer Name List). Note that the plot colors may vary from the electronic CAD file colors. Once the COR sends a contractor a file, no other contractors will have access to that file until the modifications are complete and determined to be accurate.

C. Contractor Makes Modifications to Drawings.

The contractor can now edit the drawings to integrate the project changes.

Integrate all architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, structural etc. changes and additions into the file. Also, remove any objects that were demolished as part of the project. The contractor may only use the existing layers/linetypes and may not delete any layers from the drawings. If a contractor has a question regarding which layer to put an item on, he/she must contact the PO. In instances where an object has a corresponding NIEHS standard block (ex. duct accessories or electrical

4-19-2016 Page 18 symbols), the matching NIEHS standard block must be used. The contractor may not make any changes unrelated to the project specified in the request. The contractor may not leave any trace of referenced files (xrefs) in the drawing. Verify the electronic as-built match field conditions.

Save the file in AutoCAD 2013 format. Use the original file name for submitted files.

D. Send to COR.

The contractor can now send the electronic drawings to the COR through email (or CD if necessary). The contractor must include which Building/Module/Floor location(s) they are attaching and the project number/description.

E. COR Will Review Drawings.

The COR will now review the drawings for accuracy. The COR will reject the files if they find any errors, omissions, or standardization changes. The contractor will then need to address or make changes for any inaccuracies.

F. COR Will Accept Drawings.

The COR will notify the contractor once the electronic submissions are acceptable.

20. Level of Detail for Master Electronic As-Builts. The master electronic asbuilts shall document details of additions or alterations to the facility. See Table 1 for guidance.
