INTRODUCTION

Moody’s’ Impact

The local economy benefits from Moody AFB expenditures for salaries, contracts, construction, retirement pay, tuition aid to schools, health insurance payments, and off-installation accommodations for travelers. Moody AFB employed 6,066 military, civilian, and other personnel in fiscal year 2010, with an annual payroll of approximately $300 million. Through service and construction contracts, including primary and secondary employment and payrolls, it is estimated that the total economic impact of Moody AFB on the city of Valdosta and the local area amounts to approximately $448 million annually.

The Guide

This guide contains design checklists to be used in developing functional, aesthetically pleasing, reliable, and maintainable facilities and systems constructed by and for the Air Force. The generic guide will help personnel in charge of the planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining Moody Air Force real property.

This contains guidance that applies to all new construction and to major rehabilitation, alterations, and repair of existing facilities and systems. It applies to all facilities constructed on Moody AFB, Grassy Pond recreation area and Avon Park FL installation.

This guide is intended to serve as a convenient guide to be used in the review and checking of plans and specifications for construction projects. This guide should also be utilized in the early planning stages to determine if all Sustainment Repair and Maintenance (SRM) requirements are being considered for the project. Its main usefulness is to identify and highlight the most prevalent omissions and discrepancies in facility designs.

A secondary feature of this guide provides a feedback system from the field on “lessons learned.” A “lesson learned” is any experience of value having applicability in furthering the goals of the SRM facility program. Lessons may depict successes on innovative techniques, or they may depict deficiencies or problems to be avoided in future designs.

This generic guide is not intended to cover every situation; it is a tool to aid the planner, designer, contactor and maintainer to focus on materials, methods, and system components to enhance Reliability and Maintainability throughout the life of each facility.

The submittal of “lessons learned” from the users, craftsmen, technicians, designers, and construction managers is highly encouraged. This provides a means for continual improvement and refinement, thereby increasing the future value and usefulness of the guide. Handwritten forms and freehand sketches are acceptable.

1.1.5 As Builts

Designer shall require one complete set of Contract Documents to remain on site to be updated daily of any conditions that deviate from the original Contract Documents. Electronic CADD and PDF as Built drawings shall be turned over to the owner as part of the close out documents.

1.2. EXTERIOR SIGNAGE

The UFC 3-120-01, Air Force Sign Standard establishes guidance for all exterior signs used on Moody AFB. Its purpose is to manage the quality, placement, and number of signs on the installation and to ensure attractive, professional, easy to read, RFP FA483024R0007 http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/browse_org.php?o=70 well maintained, and uniform sign standards throughout the installation. Proper use of signs has a major effect on the appearance of our base and will professionally communicate direction and location of those functions and activities that truly warrant identification. This instruction will specify materials, construction, and methods, to ensure signs are easy to maintain and easy to change.

(ACCI 32-1054 and Moody Supplement must also be used for signage.)

1.2.1 General

All exterior signs will be consistent throughout each installation. Do not use moving signs. LED signage can be used if design has been reviewed and approved by the Base Architect.

Location and content of all exterior signs shall be subject to approval of the Base Civil Engineer. The number of signs will be held to a minimum. Site signage must provide clear, consistent, and necessary direction or information. Correctly designed and controlled signs can be a positive aspect of the installation’s overall professional image.

Signs shall be designed in accordance with UFC-3- 120-01. Lettering shall be Helvetica Medium type style, except Helvetica Regular type style shall be used for subordinate information on building and organization identification signs.

Organization names should normally be shortened to the minimum required to describe the function, for example, “Self-Help Store,” not “Civil Engineering Squadron Self-Help Store” or “Moody AFB Self- Help Store.”

Signage for facilities that house the command section of an organization should include the number of the squadron preceding the organization, for example, “3rd Flying Training Squadron.” Only commonly understood abbreviations will be used.

Monument signs are discouraged but may be authorized and must have approval from the Base Architect. (Figure 1-2d)

1-1a Squadron Identification.

Limit signs to function identification and address, and ensure they are easily readable from the street;

avoid miscellaneous emblems, logos, and direct-paint applications.

1.2.2 Building Identification Signs:

Building and street address numbers shall be used to identify all facilities.

Two options for building ID signs are signs attached to the building and stand-alone signs.

Use only one sign per building except for customer service facilities or large buildings where more than one function is present.

Street addresses will be displayed only on the main entry door.

For entryway bronze Helvetica letter above entrance. (Figure 1-2c)

All facilities shall be identified with three dimensional numbers mounted on the corner most visible from the nearest primary road.

The numbers shall be non-ferrous material, dark bronze in color. Height of numbers shall be selected based on viewing distance and building size.

Individual Air Force bronze anodized Helvetica style aluminum letters shall be used for identification signs on facility walls.

The use of freestanding building identification signs shall be allowed only when building-mounted signage is not feasible.

If a freestanding sign is required, it shall be designed in accordance with UFC 3-120-01, Chapter 4 – Exterior Identification Signs, Type B3 with the following modifications:

Signs shall be aluminum post and panel design with 3-inch square posts.

Only use ACC and wing decals when using Type B2 signs with decals.

Finish shall be fluoropolymer (Kynar 500) coating, or equal.

Locate organization identification in upper left corner, and street address in lower left corner.

Building number may be included but shall be distinguishable from the street address.

1-2b Dark bronze dimensional numerals identify facility number

1-2c Entry way designation above entrance

1-2d Base Ops free-standing identification sign

1.2.3 Other Identification Signage

Additional identification signage may be required on important buildings, such as headquarters, or facilities with significant visitor use (Hospital Administration Moody Field Club, etc.). Base Civil Engineering will evaluate each facility individually.

Individual dimensional letters shall be fabricated from dark bronze non-ferrous material, using uppercase Helvetica Medium type style.

Height of the letters shall be selected based on building size and viewing distance (Figures 1-2e & 1-2f).

Organizations wishing to identify their facilities with a group or squadron patch will be permitted to do so with the approval of the 23 WING.

Patches shall be no larger than four feet at the widest point.

Patches shall be constructed on a raised surface and attached to the facility wall and must present a professionally designed appearance.

Wing/Group level organizations may identify their headquarters buildings with monument type signs or building-mounted plastic letters affixed to the structure.

Identify obscure buildings (well houses, sewage lift stations, etc.) with no more than a building number.

Service or commercial activities (Commissary, BX, snack bars, etc.) shall use building mounted signs with individual letter.

Commercial signature brands may use their signature logos and may display only one sign per building.

Water/POL tanks shall be painted simply in earth tone colors.

The AF symbol with “U.S. Air Force” shall be applied.

No other decals, graphics, or lettering such as shields, mottos, or emblems are authorized.

AAFES/DeCA/Commercial signs shall comply with the following:

Format shall be AAFES logo (where applicable) followed by facility name

1-2e Building Mounted Identification Signage

1-2f Building Mounted Identification Signage

Logo and facility name shall be the same height and positioned on one continuous horizontal line wherever possible

Facility name shall be spelled out completely with individual letters

Logo and letters shall be mounted directly to the building fascia or exterior wall adjacent to the facility’s main entrance. The back edge of logo and letters shall be ¼ inch from the face of the wall for fascia.

Logo and letters shall be light or dark bronze anodized aluminum or other non-corrosive material in a light or dark bronze color.

Logo and letters shall be available in even height increments from 2 to 16 inches. Choose appropriate size and color for each facility and location.

The ratio of height to depth of logo and letters shall be approximately 8 to 1.

When night visibility is functionally required, use external flood or spot lights that illuminate both the sign and the adjacent landscape/building instead of using internally lighted signs, which give a commercial impression.

1.2.4 Information and Motivational Signs

Placement and content of these signs shall be reviewed on an individual basis by the Base Civil Engineer, with an emphasis on maintaining a unified image for the base.

1.2.5 Directional Signs

Directional Signs should follow UFC 3-120-01, Chapter 5 – Direction Signs.

Vehicular directional signs shall be designed in accordance with UFC 3-120-01, Type D2 with the following modifications:

Use white reflective letters on brown background with posts.

Signs shall match construction of existing directional signs at Moody (Figure 1-2g) and shall be constructed of aluminum plate with treated wood 4 x 4 posts. Posts and sign back shall be painted dark brown.

Mounting height shall match height of existing directional signs on base.

Signs shall be located to maintain clear sight lines at intersections, parking lot entrances, etc. (Figure 1-2h)

Install directional signs only where frequently needed to guide visitors and new base personnel.

Exception: destinations which might otherwise be difficult to locate.

No more than four entries shall be displayed on each sign.

1.2.6 Street Name Signs

Street name signs shall have a brown background with white letters and brown posts.

Street name letters and numbers will be 4-inch upper case.

The bottom of each sign will be mounted no more than seven feet above the ground.

There shall be a street name sign for each street at intersections.

1-2g Directional Sign

1-2h Street sign at intersection

1.2.7 Graphics

To reduce visual clutter, do not use super graphics, poorly designed signs, and outdated information.

Design graphics to function – define entrances, identify building numbers, and conceal clutter.

Use graphics to relate buildings to each other instead of making a building prominent.

Avoid using high-color contrasting bands and stripes on new buildings or painting structural columns and beams.

Limit unique signing to high-visibility locations where highlights are required to support the architectural theme.

Except for painted masonry and metal buildings, identification signage should only be located in adjacent landscaped space at eye level rather than being attached to walls or fascia.

1.2.8 Regulatory Signs

Posts for all regulatory signs shall be galvanized steel.

Exception: Signposts at Grassy Pond Recreational area may be preservative-treated wood (Figure 2-2i).

All posts and sign backs shall have brown finish to match building identification and directional signage.

2.1 Visual Areas

The Moody Architectural/Engineering Design Guide organizes the physical environment of the base into six visual areas. There are three zones within the main cantonment area of the base: Admin/Community, Unaccompanied Housing, and the Flight Line/Mission Area.

The Family Housing zone is separated from the rest of the base by Bemiss Road. The Open Space zone includes undeveloped land on the east side of the base. Grassy Pond is a recreational area located 27 miles southwest of the base.

Each area is defined by land use and the proposed palette of building materials.

Design recommendations for each area are coordinated to allow facilities to harmonize with the immediate surroundings, as well as support the overall design goals for the base.

1-1 Visual Zone Map

2.1.1 Admin-Community Area

The Admin-Community Area is the core of the cantonment area. Facilities in this zone include headquarters buildings, community center, shopping, recreation, medical and worship facilities. Located near the north gate, it is a public-oriented area and the first image of the base for most visitors

A variety of materials and colors exist on the buildings in this zone. There are different colors of wood siding, some stucco buildings or stucco used as accent with other materials, and approximately six different colors of brick.

Most buildings have sloped roofs with either dark bronze metal roofing or asphalt shingles. An effort has been made to renovate many of the flat roofs with sloped roofs, but a few flat roofs remain.

2.1.1 Administrative-Community Visual Area

The medical buildings create a small campus within the Admin-Community area. These buildings stand out as a group from the surrounding structures due to the use of burnt orange/tan brick, wide stucco fascia’s and similar precast concrete accents.

Because there is such a variety of materials and colors existing within this zone it is necessary to have guidelines that will create overall visual unity rather than small-scale compatibility between adjacent buildings.

To establish a unified image for the area, future facilities will be designed with sloped roofs, dark bronze metal roofing, and brick shall match adjacent structures and shall be approved by the Base Architect during design.

2.1.2 Site Planning

Focus on pedestrian circulation. Provide safe, convenient paths linking administrative areas with popular destinations.

Site new facilities in accordance with the Moody AFB General Plan.

2.1.3 Building Form

Maximum height for all buildings is two stories unless a variance is requested.

Building entrances should be easily visible from the street and parking areas.

Arrange building forms to create easy pedestrian flow from adjacent structures.

2.1.4 Roofs

Dark bronze standing seam metal roofs with minimum 3:12 pitch.

2.1.5 Exterior Walls

Split faced CMU, scored CMU and brick with off-white mortar. All color shall be approved by the Base Architect during design.

Brick detailing such as soldier courses, reveals and special brick shapes are encouraged.

2.1.6 Trim

Metal fascia and gutters shall match metal roof color.

Downspouts typically shall match color of adjacent wall surface or roof color.

2.1.7 Doors and Windows

Aluminum operable windows shall be double insulated, blast resistant and anodized dark bronze.

Primary entrance shall be storefront, blast resistant and shall be dark bronze anodized.

Secondary doors shall be hollow metal; color shall match adjacent wall surface.

2.2 Unaccompanied-Recreation Areas

There are two Unaccompanied-Recreation areas on base that are separated by the Admin-Community zone. The North Unaccompanied Housing area is defined by Coney Street, Burrell Street, and Robinson Road. The South Unaccompanied Housing area is defined by Robbins Road, Davis Street, George Street, and Schrader Street.

Facilities in these areas include Airman Living Quarters, Visiting Officer’s Quarters, Visiting Enlisted Quarters, Fitness Center, recreation fields, Dining Hall, and Bowling Center.

2.2a. Unaccompanied-Recreation Visual Area

Most buildings in this visual area are constructed of red brick with dark bronze metal roofs. Some of the dormitories have concrete exterior stairs with a beige stucco finish. A few buildings such as the Housing Office and Linen Exchange building are brick that has a range of colors from cream to dark brown and large beige stucco fascia’s. One building in the North Unaccompanied Housing area is beige brick with a low sloping asphalt shingle roof.

2.2.1 Site Planning

Focus on pedestrian circulation. Provide safe, convenient paths linking living areas with popular destinations (Figure 2.2.2c).

Site new facilities in accordance with the Moody AFB General Plan.

2.2.2 Building Form

Maximum height for all buildings except dormitories is two stories. Dormitories may be three stories (Figure 2.2.2b).

Building entrances should be easily visible from the street and parking areas.

Arrange building forms to create pedestrian spaces such as arcades and courtyards.

Walkways shall be provided to allow appropriate pedestrian traffic to adjacent facilities.

2.2.3 Roofs

Dark bronze standing seam metal roofs with minimum 3:12 pitch (Figure 2.2.2d).

2.2.4 Exterior Walls

Red brick with off-white mortar. Brick color shall match the dormitory at 7251 Woolsey Street (Figure 1.2.2a).

Brick detailing such as soldier courses, reveals and special brick shapes is encouraged.

2.2.5 Trim

Metal fascia and gutters typically will match metal roof color.

Downspouts shall match color of adjacent wall surface or roof color.

2.2.6 Doors and Windows

Aluminum windows and storefront shall be dark bronze anodized.

Secondary doors shall be hollow metal; color shall match adjacent wall surface.

2.2b Dormitory, Berger Street

2.2c Convenient, well-lit paths encourage pedestrian circulation.

2.2d Red brick and dark bronze metal roof on the Library/Education Center

2.3 Flight Line-Industrial Area

The Flight Line-Industrial visual area comprises the largest developed area on base. It consists of facilities adjacent to the runways and aprons, including Knights Way and Werewolf Run. Facilities in this zone range from relatively small storage, training, and operations buildings, to large warehouses and hangars. The Weapons Storage Area, southeast of the main runways, is also included in this visual area.

A variety of building materials exist in the area. Materials on the buildings near the southern end of the flight line are a mixture of metal panels, exposed aggregate concrete panels, concrete masonry units, and tilt up precast panels.

Some older buildings use high-maintenance wood siding as an exterior finish.

2.3a Flight Line-Industrial Visual Area

The buildings in the Weapons Storage Area are metal storage buildings and bermed facilities.

The C-130 complex, located west of the runways, and the 71st Air Control Squadron, sited east of the airfield, use a similar palette of materials but are distinctive in their detailing. Beige split-face concrete masonry is the dominant wall material, with light brown ribbed concrete masonry units used as accents. The buildings in the C-130 area use beige metal wall panels above the masonry base.

Dark bronze metal roofing is the standard for all the buildings.

2.3.1 Site Planning

Site buildings in functional groups.

Use building forms, landscaping, and masonry enclosures to screen outdoor storage/equipment areas from primary streets.

Eliminate on-street parking where possible.

Avoid locating parking between the building and the primary street.

2.3.2 Building Form

Use simple, functional forms for industrial /operational buildings.

Except on completely utilitarian structures, building entrances should be easily identifiable from the street and from parking areas.

On more people-oriented facilities, arrange building forms to create pedestrian spaces.

2.3.3 Roofs

2.4.4 Family Housing

2.4a

The Family Housing Visual Area is separated from the main base by State Highway 125 (Bemiss Road). Facilities include family housing, the golf course, recreational facilities, and ball fields. The absence of operations and administrative functions in the Family Housing area helps create the character of a private-sector suburban neighborhood.

Moody Family Housing is privatized. All non-housing facilities built within this zone must follow the guidelines for construction within the Admin/Community zone.

1.2.4a Family Housing Visual Area

The majority of the housing units are one story brick with gently sloping asphalt shingle roofs, a small section of houses is two story with brick base and vinyl siding.

Six different colors of brick, from light gray to red, create variety within the area. Light colored vinyl siding is used on many units as a secondary wall material. Many homes have carports with wood columns and pitched asphalt shingle roofs. The recreational facilities are beige concrete masonry with brown concrete masonry accents and a dark bronze metal roof.

Both areas are managed by an independent contractor.

2.5 Undeveloped Visual Area

The Undeveloped visual area includes more than 5,500 acres of land located east of the runways, and a small land area south of the runways. With the exception of the Grand Bay Weapons Range, which occupies 450 acres, the land is managed as a fish and wildlife conservation area by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. A large portion is wetlands, the largest inland waterfowl resting area in south-central Georgia. This land is primarily used for outdoor recreation such as hunting, fishing and camping.

2.2.5a Undeveloped Visual Area

Significant future development in the Undeveloped Area is not anticipated.

Industrial or mission-related buildings constructed within the zone should conform to the standards established for the Flight Line- Industrial Area (refer to Section 1.9.0).

Areas indicated in white below, represent Undeveloped Visual Areas.

2.5.1 Grassy Pond

Owned by Moody AFB, Grassy Pond Recreational Area is located approximately 27 miles southwest of the base. Its 489 acres of land is available for outdoor recreational activities such as camping, canoeing, mountain biking, and hiking. There are two lakes; Grassy Pond and Lot Pond, which cover approximately 217 and 44 acres, respectively (Figure 2.5b).

The overall image of the area is that of a well-maintained state park. Existing rental cabins and pavilions are constructed of wood frame with painted plywood siding, wood trim, and asphalt shingle roofs (Figures 2.5b, 2.5c).

Modular buildings with vinyl siding are also used as cabins. The concessions/administration building is a prefabricated metal building with a large adjacent wood deck overlooking Grassy Pond.

Existing picnic shelters are log frame construction with asphalt shingle roofing (Figure 2.5c). Exterior walls of recently constructed restroom facilities are beige split-face concrete masonry with dark bronze metal roofing and trim. Asphalt paving is located in high traffic areas, but most vehicular circulation is on gravel or crushed limestone roads.

Facilities design and site planning shall enhance the “state park” image of the area. Site buildings to take advantage of views and prevailing breezes. Minimize impact on the natural environment.

2.5.2 Cabins and Pavilions

For economy and compatibility with the existing rustic context (Figure 2.5e), rental cabins and outdoor pavilions shall be constructed using wood siding, wood trim, and asphalt shingle & metal roofing. Base Civil Engineering design guidance for cabins requires use of simple hip roof forms, with screened porches, double-hung windows, and board and batten wood siding (Figure 2.5f).

2.5e Rental cabins

2.5f Rental Cabin – Prototypical Elevation

2.5.3 Picnic Shelters

New shelters shall be similar to existing log frame structures with brown asphalt shingle roofs (Figure 2.5g). It is recommended that exposed wood be finished/treated to allow wood to appear as if unfinished. Stain is preferable to paint. If painting is required, exposed wood should be painted dark brown to blend with the natural landscape.

2.5.4 Permanent Buildings and

Restrooms

Future concessions administrative buildings and public restroom facilities will be constructed of split-face concrete masonry and dark brown metal roofing to match the existing restrooms in the park.

Use simple hip or gabled roof forms with 3:12 pitch. Metal fascia and gutters shall match roof color; downspouts shall match adjacent wall color (Figure 2.5h).
