SOW App 010 JBER IFS Vol 2. Richardson.pdf

This is an Installation Facilities Standards (IFS) document for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Volume 2, Richardson. The document is a comprehensive design and construction standards guide that establishes base-wide requirements for all facility projects at Richardson, organized into four major sections: Installation Elements, Site Development, Facilities Exteriors, and Facilities Interiors. The IFS serves as a component plan of the Installation Development Plan (IDP) and is mandated by Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-1023, requiring compliance by all military construction projects and Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) facilities.

The standards document covers facility hierarchy categorization, facility quality levels, and facility district classifications applicable to Richardson. It addresses installation elements including street envelopes (arterial, collector, local, and special routes), intersections, paving, curbs, gutters, utility service elements, traffic signs, and street lighting. Site development standards encompass parking areas with specific paving and curbing materials for four facility groups, stormwater management, sidewalks, bikeways, trails, landscape design with xeriscape principles, site furnishings (grills, benches, bike racks, bollards, bus shelters, drinking fountains, dumpster enclosures, fencing, flagpoles, lighting, litter receptacles, picnic tables, planters, play equipment, screen walls, and tree grates), exterior signage, and lighting fixtures. Facilities exterior standards specify wall materials (flat metal panels, brick veneer, architectural precast, stucco, curtain wall, cast-in-place concrete, tilt-up concrete, ribbed metal sheeting, EIFS, GFRC, concrete block, and fiber cement siding), doors and windows (anodized aluminum, hollow metal, and aluminum-clad wood), and roof systems. All standards reference current Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and United Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS), and the document is maintained as a living document subject to regular updates by base-level personnel.
