CODE 220 Standard Reference Document (SRD) for Facilities
GSFC Quality Policy
With Customer satisfaction as our primary goal:
GSFC is committed to meeting or exceeding our Customer’s requirements
We achieve excellence in all of our efforts
PREFACE
The CODE 220 Standard Reference Document (SRD) for Facilities documents technical requirements for all constructed real property assets at Goddard Space Flight Center. The primary location referenced is in Greenbelt, MD, but this document is intended to cover all GSFC locations. The document is to be used by all personnel in Code 220, all Directorates, including support service contractors, task-order Architect- Engineers, and others who are involved in the planning, design, construction, and operation/maintenance of facilities.
The agency uses the NASA Directives System to publish and disseminate policy statements and procedures. NPDs, NASA Policy Directives state the WHAT is required to be done to accomplish the agency mission while the NASA Procedural Requirements (NPRs) define HOW it is going to be accomplished. In the facilities world these statements are defined by NPD 8820.2D - Design and Construction of Facilities (dated July 2, 2013) and the NPR 8820.2G – Facility Project Requirements (dated June 5, 2014). Compliance with these directives and procedures is mandatory in the agency.
Familiarity with these documents is essential to the understanding and implementation of this Standard Reference Document.

In all matters relating to the CoF Program, they shall be consulted prior to the formal submission of the current FY Performance Plan.
Statutory Limits Statutory limits for the CoF Program begin at $1M. For additional discussion and breakdown of fund and program information refer to the Code 220 Facilities Budget Call Handbook.
Re-programming Authority FMD is authorized to vary the cost and scope of individual Minor Facility Projects (up to and including 25 percent of the AFPCE) within the APP (Approved Program Plan) as indicated in form 800/01. Projects cannot exceed statutory limits. For projects that have been re-programmed at the Center Level, a revised NF1509/1510 shall be created and they shall be provided to HQ. It is not necessary for HQ to approve the revised NF 1509/1510.
Cost and scope changes greater than 25 percent, new projects, and deletion of projects that were included in the APP must be approved in advance by the cognizant Mission Directorate and by HQ’s FRED.
1.1.2. Facility Project Management System (FPMS)
FPMS was a project management and project reporting database system. The FPMS can be used to develop the NF1509 and NF1510.
NOTE:
The FPMS is no longer supported by the Agency. Those who have access to it can still use it to generate NF1509 and NFS 1510, and NF1579. Other means of generating these forms are available in the P:Techpol/FORMS.
1.1.3. Procedure for NF1509/1510 Submissions to Headquarters
The following addresses several of the NF1509/NF1510 data fields in FPMS, submission requirements to HQ, changes to NF1509/NF1510 not requiring submission to HQ, and FPMS Copy to History function.

The Facilities Management Division, Code 220, uses the NASA Task Order Management System to track Requests for Task Proposal (RFTP) and submitted Proposals. It is also used to request and track change orders/modifications to the task.
1.3.3. Work Request in Support of UCS Related Work
Issuance of a UCS Work Request to support a project needs to be done as early as possible in the execution of a standard work request. The Planner or PM that first receives the standard work request needs to make this determination. If UCS work is required to support the work request a separate WR is created to be referred to when the combined mechanical and controls design is being developed. The two WRs will reference each other and each will contain information on the budget allocation for the mechanical and the controls work. The drawings should have coordination notes that clearly note which contractor is responsible for what work and each contractor receives the others’ contract drawing package marked with “For Reference Only.” The COR needs to be notified of pre-construction and progress meetings for the original work request so that the proper coordination of work can be attained.
2. CADD
2.1. CADD MANUAL
The requirements for producing drawings using AutoCAD are specified in the CADD Manual.
FMD has the manual available for all A-E firms working at GSFC. External A-E firms shall follow the latest edition of the A/E/C CADD Standard; the standard can be accessed at https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/Default.aspx. PMs shall direct the A-E firm to contact the FaCETS CADD Team Lead for required drawing templates for use in preparing construction documents at GSFC but are not included in the A/E/C CADD Standard.
3. GENERAL TECHNICAL POLICIES
3.1. SAFETY 1st!
GSFC Safety Homepage
3.2. DEVIATIONS FROM DESIGN GUIDELINE CRITERIA
The SRD guidelines shall be followed unless there is reasonable justification to use design approaches, systems, or details other than what has been indicated. It is recognized that no single source document can be all-inclusive to the requirements, issues, and solutions that will be encountered. If deviations from the requirements of this manual are necessary, they shall be so noted in the Facilities Requirements Document (FRD), NF 1509, Preliminary Engineering Report (PER), or as supplemental information to the construction documents.
If a deviation is necessary, the following process shall be utilized to document the deviation and provide a formal approval process. Requests for deviations shall be directed in writing (email) to the Engineering Branch PM. The requesting individual must document the deviation along with its rationale.
The PM Leads will review the deviation and issue an approval or disapproval between the Code 224 Leads and the Engineering Branch Head.

3.4. LESSONS LEARNED INFORMATION
3.4.1. FMD Lessons Learned
Objective:
To create an information system whereby individuals may relate lessons learned experiences pertaining to GSFC facilities work to others for the benefit of all.
Criteria:
At the end of each project, as requested by the project manager, a Lessons Learned session shall take place. The PM shall put together a presentation indicating both good and bad situations that took place during the project and discuss alternative possible outcomes, or ways to incorporate the lessons into future projects.
Lessons Learned input may be submitted by any civil servant, on-site contractor, off-site contractor, or anyone doing business with FMD.
Lessons for submission can be both good and bad, but should provide some benefit in making information available to others.
3.5. A-E CONTRACTING
3.5.1 A-E Contracts
The FAR PART 36 “Construction and Architect-Engineer Contracts” and NASA FAR Supplement Subpart 1836-602-2 provides selection processes for A-E services. Additional guidance is indicated in the FPIG. Agency selection authority for GSFC is delegated to the Center Director.
The Center Director or designee is responsible for establishing an A-E Selection Board.
Excluding FaCETS, Code 220 generally has two types of A-E contract vehicles that are used to perform A-E services for preliminary engineering reports, designs, studies, surveying, materials testing, etc.:
Open-End IDIQ Contracts: generally five or six firms are on-board at any one time.
This allows a pool of A-E firms that have somewhat different specialties (architectural, mechanical, and electrical).
Project Selected Contract: generally only used for very large CoF projects that warrant special selection of an A-E firm (or partnering of firms) to handle the specific project design requirements.
3.5.2 Open-End Delivery Orders
FMD also uses the A-E selection process to establish open-end contracts with one or more A-E firms. The contracts are typically for a Base year award and multiple Option years. The Government, upon expiration of previous Base or Option year, awards the new Option years, provided that the services received have been satisfactory. These contracts permit the design of various projects without requiring the A-E selection process for each project, by issuing TOs under the open-end contact for each design project.
The PM uses the Caf-200 form to initiate the TO process. This form is completed and sent through the A-E contract COR, the Engineering Branch Head, to Procurement. Attached to the form are a Scope of Work, Procurement Request for the design funding, Government estimate, and any other pertinent information to describe the work required, such as a Requirements Document or NF1509 if applicable.
General design requirements for work at GSFC are already included in the A-E Specifications that are a part of the open-end contract, and by reference in this SRD. The scope of work for an individual TO does not need to repeat this information, but should clearly indicate the scope of the design effort for the specific project.
Part of the Caf-200 is a checklist that is helpful in spelling out the scope of work, schedule and deliverables for the project. The PM should fill in the blanks as appropriate to the project, to indicate design duration and review schedule, and to indicate the “design to” construction cost (which is the target for the Engineering Estimate which, when contingencies, SIES, and any other project burden costs are added, will fall within the approved Budget Limit for the Project).
Government estimates for open-end TOs are based on rates for various labor categories that are incorporated into the contract for each A-E firm. The rates were negotiated with each A-E firm independently prior to the contracts being awarded to them. These rates vary between firms, and for each firm, the rates change generally change upon award of new Option years. It is very important that the PM verify that the rates used are those that currently apply. There is a CA assigned for the open-end A-E contracts and can provide current option year rates or other information. Caf-200A may be used to prepare the estimate.
Once Procurement has received the Request with all attachments, they request a proposal from the A-E for the work. When a proposal is received, it is forwarded to the PM to review and prepare a Technical Evaluation. If the fee is not acceptable as originally proposed, fact-finding meetings or negotiations are conducted between the PM, CO, CS, and A-E, and a revised proposal may be requested. When any required negotiations are complete and a technical evaluation recommends accepting the proposal, the CO issues the TO to the A-E, and they may begin work on the project.
3.6. DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Incorporates sustainable design practices, maintainable design elements, building commissioning procedures, and safety & security features into facility planning, design, construction, activation, operation & maintenance and de-commissioning to enhance and balance facility life-cycle cost, environmental impact, and occupant health, safety, security and productivity.
EO 13123, Greening of Government Through Efficient Energy Management – 1999 Federal agencies must apply sustainable design principles to sitting, design and construction of new facilities

3.7. PRE-PROJECT PLANNING (P3)
Pre-project planning (P3) is a process of developing sufficient strategic information with which the customer can address risk and decide to commit resources to maximize their chance for a successful project. P3 creates a partnership among all project stakeholders that incorporates customer requirements with institutional requirements prior to executing a financial investment.
Integrating P3 into Project Program allows us to make improvements in our system by:
Developing a formal, uniform process for evaluation of projects
Allowing the customer to align with GSFC business goals up front
Allowing the project team (customer, planning, design, O&M, safety, environmental, and security) to work together from the beginning to provide a realistic conceptual design http://nodis.gsfc.nasa.gov/library/displayDir.cfm?Internal_ID=N_PD_8820_0003_&page_name=main http://nodis.gsfc.nasa.gov/library/displayDir.cfm?Internal_ID=N_PD_8820_0003_&page_name=main
Allowing the project team to collectively analyze the project and set a budget to address the customer needs
Eliminating the need to de-scope the project due to funding limitations
Spreading accountability through all organizations
Providing the FURB with a through package on which to make an informed investment decision with the funding GSFC receives
The following outline indicates activities for Programmatic and Institutional projects:
Selection of the Team o Customer (with decision making authority) o FMD – Planner, Design PM, Discipline Engineers, Building Manager(s), Construction Manager, Shop Personnel o Safety, Environmental, & Security Office
Selection of Team Leader o Customer w/ Authority or Design PM
Definition of Project Goals o What is the customer trying to accomplish (requirements, not solutions) o Customer schedule requirements o Any code/safety issues that need to be addressed o Miscellaneous concerns (housing, other construction projects nearby)
Define P3 Deliverables and Schedule o List information needed and assign actions required to obtain this information o Set meeting schedule and deliverable schedule
Look at Project Alternatives o Customer/FMD conduct benchmarking (how do others do this work) o Solution(s) from the customer point of view o Alternative institutional solutions
Evaluate Site(s) o Conduct site visit(s) with the entire Team o Record any possible issues to be addressed o Develop Pros & Cons
Conduct Constructability Review o Consider each site and detail possible construction problems
Conduct Risk Assessment o What events may cause project problems/failure o What could go wrong and how
Establish Project Control Guidelines o Identify nice to have, but not essential items o Establish quality requirements
Estimate your Project o Planning estimate, but based on above o Include a contingency
Establish the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI):
The PDRI is a tool, a comprehensive checklist that helps to measure the degree of scope development in a given project.
A PDRI score of 200 or less has been shown to greatly increase the probability of a successful project.
3.8. FACILITY HAZARDS ANALYSIS
While a project is still in the Requirements Definition phase, the Planner should meet with GSFC
Safety Personnel (code 360) to determine the facility's Facility Risk Indicator (FRI) value. This is a number from 1 - 4 which represents the summation of potential hazards (loss of life, injuries, illness, property damage), with 1 being the highest risk and 4 the lowest. Generally reviewing the project description can do this. Projects with FRI values of 1-3 then require the development of a Preliminary Hazards List (PHL) and the documenting of hazards in a Preliminary Hazards Analysis (PHA). This study will look at such aspects of a finished project as employee exposure to hazardous chemicals, presence of dangerous equipment, etc. A GSFC Safety engineer will be available for consultation, however, funding for development of the PHL and PHA by an A-E must be provided by FMD. Based upon review of the PHA and PHL, a decision is made by Safety Management as to whether a System Safety Program Plan (SSPP) is required which is comprised of other hazard analyses. In the end, potential facility hazards are documented and addressed with a plan of elimination, control, or acceptance of each.
The GSFC Safety Division can provide much more detail on the required analyses and approximate timelines of each phase of the Facility Hazards Analysis. They should be consulted with early so that the project budget can account for hazard analysis/reports that may be required.
3.9. GUIDELINES FOR COST ESCALATION, SIES, AND CONTINGENCY
FACTORS
3.9.1. Cost Escalation
The USACE ECONPACK software provides the following formula: RDR ≈ NIR - INF
REAL DISCOUNT RATE ≈ NOMINAL INTEREST RATE - EXPECTED INFLATION.
OMB Circular A-94, Appendix C provides the RDR and NIR rates early each calendar year.
3.9.2. Contingency
Construction contingency factor is generally 5-10 percent, but shall be based on project indefinites.
A 10 percent contingency factor on all CoF minor program and Discrete utility projects which have the potential to be affected by mission freezes, and for other projects where the complexity justifies this level. Cost estimates shall provide a minimum of 5 percent on all Discrete new construction or renovation for which there is no potential to be affected by mission freezes.
Contingency factors greater than 5 percent may require justification to NASA HQ.
3.9.3. SIES
Supervision, Inspection, and Engineering Services (SIES) factor on CoF projects is generally 5.5 percent, but shall be based on the level of services required.
3.10. ENGINEERING BRANCH POLICIES
3.10.1. Design Schedules
CoF designs shall be 35 percent complete by May 15, two years preceding the Project Year, i.e., a FY03 Project should be 35 design percent complete by May 15, 2001.
The purpose of this is to validate the CoF budget for final submission to HQ by May 15 in support of the Congressional budget cycle, to provided adequate time to apply value-engineering processes in the design stage, and to improve the design quality by ensuring adequate time is available for technical reviews during design.
The 100 percent design completion date needs to allow for a construction contract award by the end of the second quarter of the project Fiscal Year. This is contingent on receipt of HQ authority to advertise and receipt of construction funds in a timely manner.
3.10.2. Project Manager (PM)
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a094/a094.html#ap-c
A member of the Code 224 Engineering Branch that is given the majority role in bringing a facility project to completion. Some specific responsibilities of PMs include:
Serving as the COR
Responsible to ensure that the construction Site Representatives assigned to the project follows through with pro-active quality assurance efforts.
Providing project management to achieve all project goals
Maintaining contact with the representatives of the Customer organization
Overseeing the performance of the design A-E firm
Coordinating design reviews with the Project Team
Interfacing with HQ during design and construction
Participating in the facility Final Inspection/Acceptance
Providing appropriate paperwork to Code 210
Preparing monthly status reports and presenting at DSR
Coordinating correspondence, meeting minutes, and telecommunications among the Project Team
Coordinating design and construction changes
Coordinating total space planning for building occupants
Assuring that all applicable permit requirements for Federal, State, and Local governments are satisfied
Coordinating shop drawing reviews and approvals
Providing a complete and operational facility
3.10.3. Acquisition Strategy
The PM shall recommend the acquisition strategy to the Branch Head after receiving the project.
The Engineering Branch Head shall provide final approval on acquisition strategy basing the decision on PM’s recommendation, advisement of the Section Head, FMD/GSFC goals with regards to Procurement set-aside programs, Acquisition Strategy Panel considerations, and other Division factors.
Determination should be made as early in the design development as possible to account for variability in potential cost implications, etc.
3.10.4. Environmental Submission Procedures
As stated in SRD Section 12.1.1, all project submissions to environmental regulatory agencies shall be made by, or through coordination with the FMD Environmental Engineer with appropriate coordination with the MEMD, Code 250. Some permit submittals can be made early in the project design phase and some require near-complete plans. Therefore, early coordination with the Environmental Engineer is important. A NEPA assessment can be started while the project is still in the planning phase. Stormwater Management, Erosion & Sediment Control, Wetland, and Forest Conservation submissions can be made initially when a preliminary site plan is developed, with a later follow-up of final plans. Initial Air Quality submissions for combustion units (e.g. boilers, generators, etc.) should be made when the general size and expected usage requirements (e.g. 500 kW generator to be used 50 hrs/yr) are known. For equipment that emits Toxic Air Pollutants (COMAR 26.11.15.11-12), the exact equipment must be known to obtain Permits to Construct. For Oil tank Permit to Construct, submissions can be made when the design of the tank is complete.
All CoF projects should be checked off against the Environmental Checklist and submitted to the
Environmental Engineer, to verify whether any environmental submissions will be required.
FMD-100 Environmental Checklist is used.
3.10.5. Design Milestone Reviews
For CoF projects design reviews shall be conducted at the 35, 60, and 90 percent stages.
For CF projects with No Formal Design, no design review shall be conducted.
For CF projects valued $0 - $100K, design reviews shall be conducted at the 90 percent stage.
For CF projects valued $100K - $250K design reviews shall be conducted at the 60 and 90 percent stages.
For CF projects valued $251K - $1,000K design reviews shall be conducted at the 35, 60, and 90 percent stages.
If a 90 percent design submission is made, and the PM concludes that some or all areas have not been fully developed, and therefore an additional submission and review is required, the PM shall make arrangements for this to be done.
3.10.6. Safety and Environmental, and Security Divisions Review
For CoF level projects the Medical and Environmental Division shall be included in all milestone submittals and reviews of construction documents.
For CF level projects, the Safety and Environmental Divisions shall review the documents at the 90 percent design stage only for projects valued at $75,000 and greater. For projects less than $75,000, the Safety and Environmental Division shall only review if the PM warrants that the project is complex (with regards to safety code issues), or environmental impacts are suspected (generally the Environmental Checklist will have indicated potential impacts), or the WR was initiated by the S&E Division, or other circumstances requiring S&E Division input and review.
Note: for CF projects the S&E Divisions receives a hardcopy of each WR 16-48 form in addition to having access to the Work Request system electronically. Through these processes the S&ED may request or otherwise provide input or review on a WR that might not have been sent down to them for review.
For both CoF and CF, routing drawings to the Safety and Environmental Divisions does not obtain Security Division review. The PM should send a separate set to the Security Division when their review is necessary. The following are some conditions when Security Division review is necessary: change or breaches of the perimeter fence, computer room security, exterior doors, key cards, cipher locks, pushbutton locks, and any special condition where the PM needs Security Division input or review.
3.10.7. O&M Reviews
The O&M Branch shall review designs at the formal milestone stages.
3.10.8. Constructability Reviews
Projects shall be reviewed for constructability at every Milestone review. Constructability is not a separate or distinct review. Constructability review is an approach of viewing the drawings from the perspective of the construction aspects. Is it buildable? Are systems/spaces coordinated between disciplines? Can it be built in a different way that provides savings in cost, schedule, or quality, and still meet the project requirements? Are the construction and/or components applicable to the region, commodities, and skills available? Is the sequencing of the construction the most effective/efficient to minimize impacts on the facility occupants/customer operations?
The PM must view the project from the construction perspective at every milestone review.
Others, especially those who have vested interest in minimizing impacts to existing operations (Building Managers, FOM, and Customer) should allocate sufficient resource to consider the constructability aspects.
3.10.9. National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) Reviews
Project Plans Submission Requirements, 10/3/91, NCPC Policy Document In accordance with NCPC “Project Plans Submission Requirements”, GSFC is required to submit plans and other materials to the Commission for 1) building construction or renovation, with or without related site improvements; 2) site development, such as grading, landscaping, street and road extensions and improvements involving changes in cartway configurations, and surface parking.
Waivers may be requested where the project submitted for review has:
1) Unique or special character or qualities, such as extraordinarily limited size and/or scope, that make certain elements of the required materials unnecessary;
2) Been sufficiently documented in prior submissions with materials that remain current;
3) Unique implications necessitating the submission of specialized materials.
Exceptions to this policy (i.e., the Commission has determined that plans need not be submitted) include where:
1) The replacement of walks, roadways, and parking areas involves no change in the location or the existing character or extent of the improvement;
2) The rehabilitation and improvement of buildings and structures involve no change in the existing character, predominant use, or extent of the building or structure;
3) The replacement of trees, shrubs, and other plant materials, including changes in species, involves no change in the existing character of the site;
4) Replacement (excluding relocations or extensions) of underground utility lines such as pipes and cables (excluding pumping stations and treatment facilities) will not necessitate removal of existing trees or changes in the natural topography, or perpetuate or create an adverse environmental impact.
GSFC interpretation of the above stated NCPC requirements are as follows:
It is understood that NCPC is mainly interested in Exterior type projects that have an impact to the visualization of the Center and the surrounding community, and the safety and wellbeing of the adjacent community. As stated, it shall be GSFC policy to primarily submit these types of projects to NCPC.
Waivers:
1) GSFC will not submit individual project waiver requests for projects of limited size and/or scope.
2) GSFC will document with NCPC, a Master Plan, which indicates the anticipated development of the Center, including copies of “Determination of Eligibility Historic Standing Structures” and “Historic Preservation Plan Spacecraft Magnetic Test Facility, Building 305.”
3) It is not anticipated that GSFC would have any waivers that would require submission of specialized materials.
Exceptions:
1) GSFC will use the exception for the replacement of walks, roadways, and parking areas, including those projects which do add parking areas or other new sidewalk improvements.
2) GSFC will use the exception for the rehabilitation and improvement of buildings and structures which involve no change to the existing character, predominant use, or extents.
3) GSFC will use the exception for replacement of trees, shrubs, and other plant material which do not change the character of the site. GSFC uses only native plants that are hardy to the region, and therefore expects no submissions for this type of work.
4) GSFC will use the exception for replacement of underground utilities, including those projects which include relocations or extension.
GSFC will submit all of the following projects:
1) Projects which are clearly visible to the adjacent community through breaks in the GSFC buffer (see Buffer Breaks below), and which do not conform to the architectural character and palette of colors, materials, and styles of existing facilities at GSFC.
2) Projects which would alter the GSFC forestation buffer.
3) Projects which have the potential for impact to the Environment, especially with regards to the safety and wellbeing of the adjacent community.
Submittal Milestones:

Submittal Requirements:
For projects that are submitted to NCPC, the Planner and PM should carefully review the NCPC document and best decide how to meet the submittal requirements. There are items that NCPC requires that are out of the normal, in terms of both format and content, from our normal project documents. NCPC has indicated to NASA that what is of primary interest are brief, succinct submissions, showing plan, section, elevation, project narrative which addresses the environment, and description of the project, generally not more than 5 or 6 drawings. Early consultation with NCPC is recommended in the Planning Phase, before any submission occurs.
Buffer Breaks The following have been identified as clearly visible breaks in the GSFC buffer:
