CONDENSED INSTALLATION DESIGN GUIDE

For

DLA ENERGY-FUNDED

CONTRACTOR-OWNED, CONTRACTOR-OPERATED (COCO)

FUEL FACILITIES

AT

FORT BRAGG, NC

1. General: The information in this guide is comprised of a collection of Fort Bragg design and construction policies consolidated by DLA Energy to serve as the Installation Design Guide (IDG) until a more formal and presentable version is developed. It contains information to assist offerors in developing design and cost proposals for Contractor-owned, Contractor-operated fuel facility services at Fort Bragg, NC. Not all guidance in the IDG will apply to these facilities as described in the paragraph below.

2. IDG Applicability and Limitations: Most of the IDG and Governmental standards found in Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) directives do not apply to the structural design of these facilities due to the temporary (29 years) nature of these contractor-owned, contractor-maintained, contractor-operated fuel facilities, but this paragraph will help differentiate.

A. Design: This is neither Military Construction (MILCON), nor government-owned or government-maintained infrastructure; therefore, the UFC structural design specifications do not apply unless specifically included in the contract. Commercial Design specifications will be used for the fuel facility (such as NFPA 30 and 30A) and associated infrastructure, except for those infrastructure components or systems that must integrate, connect, or interface with base infrastructure, utilities, systems, or equipment. That infrastructure or component will be compatible, allowing tie-in and function with the existing government infrastructure as necessary. Structural exterior appearances and landscaping will match the surrounding government structures in accordance with the IDG to blend visually.

B. Oversite: Various Permitting Offices will have regulatory oversite authority as required for their permit.

Department of Public Works (DPW) will provide construction permits and associated project oversite to ensure compliance with regulatory and permit directives, Installation regulatory/policy, and contract requirements.

C. Review: Elements of government review/approval are reduced but not eliminated. Plans will be provided to the DPW as required for permits, utility integration, stormwater, erosion control, and project oversite.

Government review and approval of the Contractor’s design submittals (35%, 65%, 95%, 100%) is solely for verification of compliance with the Ground Lease, Base Master Plan, Safety, and Environmental standards.

Government approval does not relieve the Contractor of its sole responsibility for design accuracy, structural/mechanical integrity, environmental compliance, or the procurement of mandatory State of North Carolina permits.

35% Concept: – DLA Energy contract requirements, facility footprint, site obstructions/restrictions, setback distances, traffic flow, utility connection concept; performed by DLA Energy during proposal evaluation prior to award.

65% Intermediate Review: – Utility and Environmental: locks in how the contractor's private facility will interact with the government's infrastructure when the base's sanitary sewer, water, network, and power grids connect to the facility. Stormwater design, retention basins and OWS appropriate size. Connection for street access. This review is done by DPW and/or State agencies after post-award when coordinating utility hookups and acquiring permits.

95% Pre-final Review: Fire Marshall – Review of emergency shut-off and notification systems and connectivity to base emergency services.

100% Final: Permit check – DPW verifies all permits are secured and issues Construction Authorization.

All reviews are being expedited due to the time limitations in this project. The Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer of any delay.

3. Sustainability and Maintainability: Materials and products shall be provided in accordance with ASHRAE 90.1, ASHRAE 189.1. Select materials and products that require less maintenance and reduce life cycle costs, require minimal energy to extract and process into the finished building components, that reduce energy consumption for the building, that can be cleaned and maintained easily with non-toxic or low-VOC substances, that resist the growth of biological contaminants, that are readily recyclable and maximize recycled content, that can be reused after serving the original purpose, and that reduce water consumption. Twenty percent of the provided products and materials shall be produced within a 500-mile radius of the project.

4. Solid Waste Disposal: The Fort Bragg Lamont Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill is closed and will not accept any C&D Waste or Asbestos Waste. The Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Transfer Station at the Lamont Landfill Facility is closed and will not accept MSW at the facility.

Use only materials on the NCDOT Qualified Product List (QPL) and all concrete plants used shall conform to section 700-2 of the NCDOT Construction Manual.

Rigid pavements for roads must be plain (non-reinforced) concrete of minimum 7” in thickness, except for those conditions listed in UFC 3-250-01, 2016 Chapter 14 or unless otherwise approved by the Government Civil Engineer.

Plain concrete pavements also include Roller-compacted concrete pavements (RCCP). In accordance to the UFC, non-reinforced pavement design requires a minimum of 0.05 percent steel in odd-shaped slabs and mismatched joints. Plain concrete pavement design must be in accordance to UFC 3-250-01, 2016 Chapter 13.

Appendix F of UFC 3-250-01, 2016 should be used to determine the thickness of concrete for primary roads, secondary roads and vehicle parking areas, based on the minimum gross vehicle weight. For minimum concrete thickness, refer to Figure F-12 of UFC 3-250-01, 2016 for primary roads and refer to Figure F-15 of UFC 3-250-01, 2016 for secondary Roads and parking areas. If the design includes vehicles not covered in Appendix F, Pavement-Transportation Computer Assisted Structural Engineering (PCASE) must be used. For areas used for aircraft loading, higher thickness may be used.

Soil classification for rigid pavement design should be in accordance to Chapter 10 of UFC 3-250-01, 2016.

The Technician at the concrete batching plant or central mixing plant is responsible for ensuring that all concrete materials comply with the Specifications, for their proper handling, and for ensuring that the materials are weighed into batches of the proper size. The Technician is also responsible for performing tests on cement (for air content) and making the test beams used for determining the compressive strength of the concrete. Compliance specifications are in accordance to section 700-2 of the Construction Manual.

The Plant (Batch) and Roadway Technician, should accomplish as a minimum, concrete sampling and testing indicated by the NCDOT Minimum Sampling Guide. The Plant (Batch) Technician is required to keep records pertaining to materials received, daily operations, and test results of materials tested.

The Standard Specifications requires the Contractor to run moisture tests on the aggregates each morning before paving operations begin, with a minimum of 2 tests per day, and as often thereafter as necessary to control the consistency of the concrete.

Specifications used by the Contractor for equipment or methods which will produce acceptable work require inspection and approval by the Engineer prior to the beginning of work. The Engineer should contact the Pavement Construction Section of the Construction Unit to request assistance prior to this inspection and approval.

The Contractor is required to submit a Process Control Plan for approval before placing concrete pavement and is typically submitted 3-6 months before the paving operations are scheduled to begin.

In cold weather, the Contractor must protect the concrete from freezing and maintain curing conditions to ensure adequate strength development. When paving in hot weather, concrete must be placed in a timely manner and curing applied as soon as possible. The pavement is to be protected during a rainstorm and the surface finish restored after a rainstorm and fully recorded in the project diary.

All work shall be contracted to a licensed or certified NCDOT contractor (bonded in the state of North Carolina).

Standard Typical details are shown below in Figures 1-9, but all pavement details are to be sealed by a Civil Engineer licensed in the state of North Carolina and approved by Fort Bragg Traffic Engineering.

Policy

It is the policy of Fort Liberty that storm drainage systems in non-airfield areas convey the 10-yr. storm event, storm drainage systems in airfield areas convey the 5-yr. storm event, and that post-construction peak runoff rates do not exceed pre-construction peak runoff rates in new construction areas. Pre-construction rates are defined herein as the peak rate of runoff that would be produced by the design storm events from the area prior to the currently proposed construction.

No deviation from or waiver of this policy will be allowed without approval of DPW Engineering Design Branch and Environmental Storm Water Program Manager.

DESIGN CRITERIA:

The following standards are site specific for Fort Liberty and are designed to work in conjunction with all UFC and Army Technical Manuals.

Hydrology Fort Liberty has selected the NRCS Unit Hydrograph Method or NRCS TR-55 as the standard for calculating runoff.

Basic data required for these methods are: drainage area rainfall frequency, runoff factor, and time of concentration.

Details of the methodology can be found in the SCS National Engineering Handbook, Section 4 and TR-55 NRCS Manual for Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds. The use of alternate hydrograph methods to compute runoff must be approved by the DPW Engineering Design Branch.

Design Storm Events Storm drainage systems in non-airfield areas shall by designed to convey the 10-yr, 24-hr Type II storm event and storm drainage systems in airfield areas shall be designed to convey the 5-yr, 24-hr Type II storm event. In depth discussion of these criteria can be found in: Paragraph 3 Section b of TM 5-820-1, and Chapter 2 Section 2-2 of TM 5- 820-4. Pre- construction and post-construction peak runoff rates shall be evaluated for the 5-yr, 10-yr, and 100-yr storm events to verify that construction does not increase peak runoff rates. The following table includes the rainfall data that shall be used to determine storm drainage system capacities and peak runoff rates:

Construction Site Run-off.

All projects with land disturbing activity on Fort Liberty, regardless of size requires an Erosion Control Plan (ECP). All ECP’s must be submitted to the DPW Water Management Section (WMS) for review and approval prior to beginning the construction activity. Construction projects can be halted if an ECP is not approved for the site by the WMS or if the construction site does not comply with the approved ECP. Projects greater than one acre require an Erosion Control Permit. Erosion and sediment control measures must meet minimum design criteria as established by NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR). All required erosion and sediment control approvals/permits must be obtained from the appropriate review authority. Approved plans must be Stamped and signed by WMS. After approval by WMS, the plan must be submitted to Fayetteville Regional Office of DEMLR for approval. Upon approval, a Certificate of Approval is issued and must be kept on site along with the approved stamped plan.

In addition to the ECP permit projects that disturb 1 or more acres are subject to the NPDES General Permit for Construction Activities (NCG0l0000), which is administered by NCDEQ on behalf of the EPA. Upon approval of the ESC plan, Fort Liberty DPW WMS will submit a Notice of Intent (e-NOI) to obtain a Certificate of Coverage (COC).

A COC must be obtained prior to commencement of land disturbing activities.

Post-Construction Stormwater Management.
