2.3.2 Storm Water Management - Low Impact Development (LID)

NOTE: Low Impact Development (LID) is required to be implemented in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) and Navy LID Policy.  LID is a form of storm water management that infiltrates stormwater into the ground close to its source.

In January 2010, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, issued Department of Defense (DoD) policy on implementation of storm water requirements under Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) Section 438.  This policy directs DoD to implement EISA Section 438 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) technical guidance in accordance with DoD Policy on Implementing EISA Section 438.  UFC 3-210-10, Low Impact Development, was developed to provide the minimum technical requirements to comply with DoD Policy on implementation of storm water requirements under EISA Section 438.

In November 2007, Assistant Secretary of the Navy issued Navy Low Impact Development (LID) Policy for the Navy and Marine Corps.  This policy set a goal of no net increase in storm water volume and sediment or nutrient loading, required annual reporting, and establishment of a waiver process.  It is applicable to new construction projects greater than $750,000 and renovation projects with a stormwater element greater than $5,000,000.

Use UFC 3-210-10 and FC 1-300-09N to comply with DoD and Navy LID Policy.

Some LID features will be associated with the building (i.e., vegetative roof, rainwater harvesting).  Coordinate requirements for those systems in other parts of this RFP.

Comply with UFC 3-210-10, Low Impact Development and FC 1-300-09N Navy and Marine Corps Design Procedures.  Additional specific LID and stormwater management requirements are found in RFP Parts 3 and 4, Section G30.  In addition to LID, comply with State and Local stormwater regulations.

2.3.5 Accessibility Requirements

Provide barrier-free design in accordance with UFC 1-200-01, DoD Building Code (General Building Requirements).

2.3.6 Antiterrorism Criteria

NOTE: UFC 4-010-01, DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings establishes standards that provide minimum levels of protection against terrorist attacks for the occupants of all DoD inhabited buildings.  A DoD building is any building or portion of a building (permanent, temporary, or expeditionary) owned, leased, privatized, or otherwise occupied, managed, or controlled by or for DoD.  DoD buildings are categorized within these standards as low occupancy, inhabited, primary gathering, high occupancy family housing, and billeting.  See UFC 4-010-01, Appendix A for definitions.
 
UFC 4-020-01, DoD Security Engineering Facilities Planning Manual presents a process for developing the design criteria necessary to incorporate security and antiterrorism into DoD facilities and for identifying the cost implications of applying those design criteria.  Those design criteria may be limited to the requirements of the minimum standards (UFC 4-010-01), or they may include protection of assets other than those addressed in the minimum standards (people), aggressor tactics that are not addressed in the minimum standards or levels of protection beyond those required by the minimum standards.  Discuss/consult with regional/base security personnel and antiterrorism officer (ATO) for possible considerations of an increased threat or level of protection beyond the scope of the minimum standards.
 
RFP developer will designate facility occupancy in accordance with UFC 4-010-01.

NOTE: Refer to UFC 4-010-01 for exempt buildings.  Low occupancy buildings and low occupancy family housing are exempt from the standard.  See UFC 4-010-01, Section 1.9 for a complete list of exempt building types.  If the building is exempt, keep and edit the first bracketed sentence and delete the remainder of the section.  If the building is inhabited, primary gathering, billeting, or high occupancy family housing, delete the first bracketed sentence and edit the remainder of section.

[Facility will have an occupancy designated as [low occupancy family housing][low occupancy][insert other exempt category] and UFC 4-010-01 does not apply.]

[Design the facility to comply with UFC 4-010-01, DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings.][ and ][insert appropriate combatant command operations orders.]

Facility will have an occupancy designated as [inhabited][primary gathering][billeting][high occupancy family housing] and will require a [very low][low] level of protection in accordance with UFC 4-010-01.

NOTE: If it can be determined that the building will be 3 stories or more, progressive collapse avoidance would be a design requirement.  If it will be up to the Contractor to determine, delete the next two bracketed sentences.

[Facility will be less than 3 stories and will not be required to meet the progressive collapse avoidance standards.]

[Facility will be 3 stories or greater and will be required to meet the progressive collapse avoidance standards.]

NOTE: UFC 4-010-01 Appendix D provides antiterrorism standards for expeditionary structures.  Insert the following statement if applicable.

[The facility is an expeditionary facility.]

NOTE: The most cost-effective solution for mitigating explosive effects on buildings is to keep explosives as far as possible from them.  Standoff distance must be coupled with appropriate building hardening to provide the necessary level of protection to DoD personnel.  Standoff distance is defined as a distance maintained between a building or portion thereof and the potential location for an explosive detonation.  The two limits for standoff are identified as conventional construction standoff distance which is the standoff distance at which conventional construction may be used for buildings without a specific analysis of blast effects, except as other wise required in UFC 4-010-01 and minimum standoff distance which is the smallest permissible standoff distance regardless of any analysis or hardening of the building.

UFC 4-010-01 allows reduction of standoff from the conventional construction distance to the minimum distance.  Any reduction below the conventional standoff distance requires hardening to mitigate the effects of explosives at the actual standoff distance to achieve the appropriate level of protection.  Blast analysis is also required for windows and doors and may also be required for structural components or assemblies that are not listed in Table B-2 based on the assemblies in Table 2-3.  Insert the appropriate impulse / pressure table based on the charge weight that applies to the design.

Consider specifying a minimum standoff distance that is greater than the minimum in Table B-1.  UFC 4-010-01 minimums may not be practical or cost effective for windows and doors or allow for future development of the site.  Select either the second or third bracketed sentence.

Facility is [within][without] a controlled perimeter.

[Facility minimum standoff distance is [__] meters [__] feet from parking and roadways.]

[Facility minimum standoff distance:  See UFC 4-010-01, Table B-1.]

Develop the site based on the requirements of UFC 4-010-01 [and] [insert appropriate combatant command operations orders].  Where conventional construction standoff distances are not available, the required level of protection can be achieved through analysis and building hardening based on the actual standoff distance.  Blast analysis is required for all windows and doors and structural components and assemblies that are do not meet the conventional construction parameters in UFC 4-010-01,Table 2-3 or that are not listed in UFC 4-010-01, Table B-2.  See the following table[s] for design impulse and pressure loading parameters.

[Charge Weight I Table]

[Charge Weight II Table]

2.3.7 Cybersecurity

Design, acquire and execute all control systems (including systems separate from management utility monitoring and control system) in accordance with UFC 4-010-06 Cybersecurity of Facility-Related Control Systems and as required by individual Facilities Engineering Command (FEC) or Installation implementation policy.

NOTE: Cybersecurity is implemented to mitigate vulnerabilities to all DoD real property facility related control systems to a level that is acceptable to the System Owner and Authorizing Official. UFC 4-010-06 provides requirements for integrating cybersecurity into the design and construction of control systems.

Incorporate ICS Security Controls located in NIST 800-82, Appendix G, Table G-1. Design the project using UFGS 25 05 11, Cybersecurity for Facility-Related Control Systems.
