PART 5

SPECIFIC TASKS

5. SPECIFIC TASKS:

5. Basic Services. The contractor shall provide services for the provision, erection, and maintenance of permanent identification and directional signs. The contractor has to provide the installation of signs basing under the request of various installation by 30 calendar days from the request.

5.1. Font Standards: The term “font” is used in this UFC for references to typography. Most sign messages should use upper- and lowercase text for optimum readability. Use the Helvetica Neue family of fonts. The font standards for sign message content include the following:

· Helvetica Neue – 85 Heavy

· Helvetica Neue – 75 Bold

· Helvetica Neue – 65 Medium

· Helvetica Neue – 55 Roman

5.1.1. Helvetica Neue – 85 Heavy: Use Helvetica Neue 85 Heavy for the names of military units on freestanding primary building identification signs and building-mounted identification letters.

5.1.2. Helvetica Neue – 75 Bold: Use Helvetica Neue 75 Bold to identify the installation name on installation/gate identification signs. This font may also be used as the larger font where a hierarchy of typestyles is beneficial.

5.1.3. Helvetica Neue – 65 Medium: Helvetica Neue 65 Medium is the approved font for primary or “headline” messages on both interior and exterior signs unless otherwise specified.

5.1.4. Helvetica Neue – 55 Roman: Helvetica Neue 55 Roman is the approved font for secondary or “body text” messages on both interior and exterior signs unless otherwise specified. This font should also be used for all tactile messages on interior signs.

5.1.5. Alternative Fonts: Alternative fonts may be used on signs for historic buildings or installations with unique architectural character. Alternative fonts must comply with ABAAS (Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards) when used for tactile characters associated with Braille requirements.

5.1.6. Letter Spacing: Appropriate letter spacing is important for consistency and the visual appearance of message content on signs. Kerning refers to the spacing between letters and optical kerning of letters is desired for digital sign message layouts. Comply with the letter spacing examples provided below for all installation and gate identification signs. All other sign message requirements will use optical kerning and zero letter spacing.

5.2. Freestanding Building Identification Signs: Building identification signs are used inside the installation to provide information about buildings, major tenants within buildings, areas within the installation, and organizational or functional units. Different sizes and design elements are used to identify the different organizational levels. The signs should carry one unit name and any secondary information to identify the unit component (such as headquarters) and may also include a street address. No unit mottoes, names, or titles of individuals are permitted.

Most buildings can be best identified by using a freestanding building identification sign in front of the building near the main entrance or at the main entrance to the associated parking area. There are three basic types of freestanding building identification signs:

5.2.1. Primary - These signs identify high-level organizations such as command, squadron, or unit headquarters;

5.2.2. Secondary - These signs identify lower-profile buildings. These signs use the same basic principles as primary facility signs, only these are somewhat smaller;

5.2.3. Tertiary - These signs identify buildings or other miscellaneous facilities that do not require a street address or building number, such as recreational facilities, training areas, and maintenance or storage facilities.

The appropriate sign type required is based upon the importance of the building or tenant identification required. Place primary identification signs as close as possible to the building entrance and perpendicular to the roadway to permit viewing by traffic moving in both directions. If the building is set back from the roadway and is not visible or is only partially visible from the roadway, place the sign next to the entrance driveway and on the side of the driveway closest to the building. Provide one sign for each building unless additional signs are required due to unique site conditions. Consider intersection sight distances provided in AASHTO A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (Green Book), in addition to the lateral offsets included in the MUTCD.

5.2.4. Freestanding Building Identification Sign Layouts:

5.2.5. Materials and Colors: Freestanding building identification signs must be non-illuminated and use a standard post-and-panel type construction. Use extruded aluminum square posts with flat aluminum sign message panels that are removable for easy replacement. Sign post and panel sizes must be engineered by the sign contractor according to wind loads and other requirements at each installation. Minor deviations from these general specifications are permitted where needed to align with installation-specific standards and pre-existing sign programs.

Provide a dark bronze painted (RAL8016) finish for the background of the message panels and support posts. Sign message content must be white reflective engineering-grade vinyl. Use these standard materials and colors unless there are specific requirements established in the IPS. These color standards and special Service branch exceptions do not apply to traffic control signs that have color and material requirements specified in the MUTCD.

5.2.6. Street Address and Building Numbers: Include the street address or building numbers (if used) on all building and facility identification signs, where possible. Include this information at the main entrance to the building and on other exterior portions of the building as necessary for wayfinding.

5.3. Building Entrance Signs: Only one identification sign is permitted at each building entrance. If the building is set back from the roadway and is not visible or only partially visible from the roadway, place the sign next to the main entrance of the building to confirm the information shown on the sign at the entrance driveway. Some buildings have more than one primary entrance. Use building-mounted entry signs to identify organizations that are reached through the alternate entries of these types of Buildings.

5.3.1. Materials and Colors: Building-mounted entry signs must be non-illuminated and must be painted aluminum with white vinyl messages. Signs must be wall-mounted where possible and attachment methods way vary depending upon building conditions. The dimensions of the signs are 1.5 feet x 1.5 feet (457 mm x 457 mm). If building numbers are used they should be located at the top of the sign. If the required message on a building entry sign is too long to fit on the standard layouts shown, reduce the size of the text as required.

Provide a dark bronze painted (RAL8016) finish for the background of the message panels or other background color that is consistent with the installation standards. Minor deviations from these general specifications are permitted where needed to align with installation- specific standards and pre-existing sign programs. Use these standard materials and colors unless there are specific requirements established in the IPS.

5.3.2. Building Entrance Signs on Glass: Customized solutions may be designed for buildings with glass entrances. Provide frosted or white vinyl building identification on glass entryway signs where required. Provide building numbers or the street address that are appropriately sized for the average viewing distance. As a guide, use letters 1 inch (25 mm) high per 25 feet (7.62 meters) of viewing distance and establish an installation standard based on the average door size and the average viewing distance. Include limited additional information such as tenant identification information and hours of operation where appropriate.

5.4. Community Identification signs: Centralized facilities signs may be designed to address multiple buildings or services that use a common roadway entrance or parking area. Set the sign to permit viewing by traffic moving in both directions. The size, placement, and material composition of these signs must be consistent with installation-specific standards.

Limited use of specialty community identification signs is permitted to identify communities, housing areas, districts, or other installation-specific specialty facilities. These signs may be customized to align with the unique architectural characteristics of each area or installation, as required. Use the general guidance and design principles provided in UFC 3-120-01 for these types of non-standard signage options.

5.5. Directional and Wayfinding Signs: There are two types of directional and wayfinding signs: pedestrian and vehicular. Pedestrian circulation is separate from vehicular circulation and requires its own wayfinding system. Vehicular directional and wayfinding signs are detailed in the MUTCD and paragraph 3-4 of this UFC. A cohesive signage plan is important and both sign systems must work together.

5.5.1. General Guidelines: Provide pedestrian directional signs at critical points where decisions are necessary for movement to a destination. It is very important for these signs to meet the information needs of visitors and other installation users. There are too many potential destinations on any military installation to list on directional signs, but effective directional signs help visitors find their destinations more easily. Directional signs, proper street identification, and effective installation maps form the basic keys to visitor orientation and effective wayfinding. Graphics and messages must appear on both sides of the sign if visible and meaningful to people moving in both directions. Separate the destinations with white rule lines. Place no more than six, and no fewer than two, destinations on pedestrian directional signs.

5.5.2. Materials and Colors: Pedestrian directional signs must be non-illuminated and use a standard post-and-panel type construction. Use extruded aluminum square posts with flat aluminum graphic sign message panels that are removable for easy replacement. Sign post and panel sizes must be engineered by the sign contractor according to the wind loads and other requirements at each installation. Minor deviations from these general specifications are permitted where needed to align with installation-specific standards and pre-existing sign programs provide a dark bronze painted (RAL8016) finish for the background of the message panels and support posts. Sign message content must be white vinyl. Use these standard materials and colors unless there are specific requirements established in the IPS.

5.6. Orientations Map and Wayfinding Signs: Most first-time visitors to a military installation receive verbal information at the entry gate, but may also need wayfinding/orientation map information. Provide installation maps at strategic locations to orient visitors and help them find destinations. The installation map, directional signs, and building and street identification signs comprise the total wayfinding system outlined in this UFC. It is essential to use consistent nomenclature throughout the system. For example, the community center should be indicated by the same name on the map, directional signs, and the building identification sign. Design maps for clarity and ease of use. Maps created by merely reducing the installation site plan are usually too difficult to read, so the site plan must be simplified to emphasize major circulation routes and destinations. Use a halftone screen to indicate roadways. Emphasize important buildings by increasing the scale of the buildings in relation to other buildings or by adding color. Maps should be drawn from the perspective of the main entrance to aid visitor orientation and include “You Are Here” orientation information.

5.7. Reserved Parking Signs: Handicapped parking spaces, Headquarters reserved parking spaces, official vehicle and emergency ambulance parking spaces. All vertical and horizontal signs will be in accordance with Codice della Strada only and have to be accepted,before its installation, by Comando dei Carabinieri and MP.

The reserved parking sign shall be installed in three different ways: one type shall be attached on wall or fences, the other two shall be installed either in the short pole (h.90cm) and for in the higher pole (h.210cm).

5.8. Building number identification Signs:

5.9. Prohibitory/Warning Signs: Prohibitory sign restrict, warn and advise visitor and installation personnel in matters of Army Security, safety and parking controls. To avoid confusion directives should not be unnecessarily wordy. Signs should be used in moderation so that their visual impact is not lessened. Warning signs notify visitors of restrictions governing conduct on the installation and of entrances limited to authorized personnel. All warning signs should be written in both English and Italian.

The word “Warning” should appear at the top of the sign in red letters on a white background or white letters in a red background and shall be attached on wall or fences.

5.10. “No Smoking”Signs:

5.11. Paint and Letters of a complete Strip Signs:

5.11.1. Only letters of a portion of Strip Signs:

5.11.2. Paint and letters of a portion of Strip Signs:

5.11.3. Peeling Strips and setting bars:

5.12.
