3.2 SPECIFICATIONS

3.2.1 Project Specifications

3.2.1.1 General Requirements

Develop project specifications incorporating the Division 1 Specifications furnished with this RFP; unedited Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) current at the time of award; designated specification sections furnished with this RFP; and additional project specifications as needed not covered by UFGS. Organize project sections not based on UFGS in accordance with CSI MasterFormat and UFC 1-300-02 .

Edit and process the specification using SpecsIntact software.

3.2.1.2 Technical Specifications

Use unedited UFGS and designated unedited CEGS sections for developing project specifications. Do not rewrite specification paragraphs and subparagraphs to lessen the quality of the original technical specification sections, unless directed otherwise. The technical guide specifications describe the type and quality of material and installation normally acceptable for Corps of Engineers Construction, and often represent specific agreement between the Corps and the applicable industry. Do not change the provisions of the technical guide specifications without justification. Identify in the design analysis under the appropriate design discipline justifications for additional materials. Do not include designer notes in any design submittals. Only delete bracketed choices and inapplicable items. Do not show revisions in the corrected 100 percent specifications submittal. Complete the editing of all options. Where designer notes are provided, edit the choice in accordance with the recommendations and guidance of the Notes, except where the RFP provides specific guidance.

Edit and expand the appropriate specifications to meet all project design requirements, current code requirements, and regulatory requirements.

Provide non-proprietary, descriptive project specifications in compliance with the requirements in UFC 1-300-02 . Do not provide proprietary information in the project specifications unless approved by the Contracting Officer.

3.2.1.3 Editing Technical Specifications (Designated CEGS or UFGS)

(1) Incorporating Established RFP Requirements into Guide Specifications

Where the edited RFP Division 01 and Section 32 13.14 13 CONCRETE PAVING FOR AIRFIELDS AND OTHER HEAVY DUTY PAVEMENTS provide specific requirements in regards to materials, methods and end function requirements, edit the UFGS and designated CEGS (Omaha) to reflect these requirements. The Government will not permit variations to

SECTION 01 33 00.32 Page 10 these requirements, unless authorized as a design deviation by the Contracting Officer.

(2) Requirements of Guide Specifications Not Established By RFP Requirements

Where the RFP does not provide specific direction in regards to materials, methods and end function requirements, the final requirements will be a result of the completed design by the Contractor.

(3) ADDITIONS: If the specifications of the UFGS or designated CEGS does not cover a feature that is in the project, insert new sentences and/or paragraphs in the proper locations to adequately cover the feature of work. Do not use additions to lessen the quality of materials indicated by the specifications. If adding a new material, properly reference it in "Applicable Publications", "MATERIALS", "SUBMITTAL", "TESTS", and "INSTALLATION" paragraphs, as applicable.

(4) DELETION OF INAPPLICABLE TEXT MATERIAL, AS NECESSARY, TO TAILOR

THE SPECIFICATIONS TO FIT THE PROJECT: After deleting all inapplicable paragraphs, subparagraphs, choices, and schedules from the body of the specifications (including but not limited to the correction of lists in "Submittals", "Tests", and "Installation" paragraphs), delete all nonapplicable references listed in the preceding "APPLICABLE PUBLICATIONS" and "MATERIALS" paragraphs. Do not use deletions to lessen the quality of materials indicated by the specifications.

(5) Do not remove any special code markings for submittals, references, tests or section references, unless the text is not required.

(6) REFERENCES TO SPECIFICATION SECTIONS. Coordinate section references, along with the technical requirements, to specific specification sections (number and title) within the project specifications. Revise section references (title and number) to reflect the titles and numbers of specification sections used.

(7) REFERENCES. Coordinate references or publications in the text of each specifications with the references listed at the beginning of each section. See paragraph "Error Report Submission and Resolution" below. The SpecsIntact Software removes references or publications not referenced in the text from the Reference Article when printing from the Jobs menu.

(8) SUBMITTALS. Each section of the specifications includes a submittal paragraph which lists all applicable Contractor submittals.

Properly mark submittals as outlined in the SpecsIntact documentation and in this section. SpecsIntact uses these codings for automatic generation of the Submittal Register. Do NOT delete these codings from the text, unless the submittal is not required. Make the Submittal Item text between the coding identical (word for word, including punctuation and spacing) to the paragraph text in the reference paragraph(s). Text may be either upper or lower case letters.

During the design phase, develop a complete list of required construction submittals in each technical specification. The list will become the Submittal Register for approval by the Contracting

SECTION 01 33 00.32 Page 11

Officer Representative (COR). SpecsIntact generated the example Submittal Register in this Solicitation. Replace this example Submittal Register with the actual submittal register developed from the completed design specifications. This list is not all inclusive and additional submittals may be required as directed by the COR.

Both the attached sample and the Contractor-generated submittal registers identify only the submittal section, type of submittal, description of item submitted, paragraph number related to submittal item (section submittal paragraph if none listed), submittal classification (G or FIO), and submittal reviewer identifier.

See Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES, for complete instructions related to submittal descriptions, classifications, numbers, and submittal process.

(9) USE OF UFGS SECTIONS

Unless directed otherwise, use UFGS sections. UFGS sections are a joint effort of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA). In instances where more than one UFGS section addresses the same material or system requirement, as a general rule, use the Section developed by the USACE specification proponent.

Available UFGS sections with the numbers ending ".00 10", ".00 20" or ".00 40" following the section number are sections that have not yet been unified by the different Government design agencies. The ending numbers designate the specification proponent (".00 10" is for USACE, ".00 40" for NASA and ".00 20" is for NAVFAC). Where UFGS sections include tailoring options for both the various proponents (Army, NASA and Navy), use the Army tailoring option. Where conflicts exist that cannot be resolved, contact the Contracting Officer to resolve the issue.

3.2.1.4 Developing Additional Project Specifications

Organize project sections not based on UFGS in accordance with CSI MasterFormat and UFC 1-300-02 . Ensure these specifications conform to the applicable criteria requirements indicated in the solicitation. Write at the Mediumscope level of detail as described in CSI Masterformat.
