PERFORMANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

SECTION B10

SUPERSTRUCTURE
4/08

NOTE: This section is intended to be used as a guide and contains requirements that are common to many different types of facilities. In addition, there may be special requirements for a particular project that are not addressed at all. The RFP preparer will need to incorporate additional information to address these special requirements in this PTS and corresponding Part 3 ESR. If the RFP Preparer chooses to delete building elements that are not required for the project, do not change the remaining Uniformat paragraph designations (example A102001). Uniformat designations are unique to the products they are assigned to. However, the subparagraphs numerical extension (example - 1.2 or a,b,c of the Uniformat designations may change if subparagraphs are deleted.

This guide specification is formatted utilizing Uniformat II, an industry recognized standard, ASTM E 1557. When the RFP preparer chooses to add a paragraph that does not apply to an existing building element already included in the specification, refer to the Uniformat/WBS located on the NAVFAC Design-Build Website for a listing of Uniformat II designations and definitions.

NOTE: The RFP preparer may view or hide the criteria notes in this PTS section by modifying the WORD preferences in the document pull down menu for "Hidden text". To view the criteria notes choose "Tools, Options, and View," then check the "Hidden text" box, to print the criteria notes choose "Tools, Options, and Print," then check the "Hidden text" box.

B10 GENERAL

B10 1.1 DESIGN GUIDANCE

NOTE: This Performance Technical Specification (PTS) has been developed to utilize certain UFGS sections for prescriptive requirements. However, there may be rare occasions when additional prescriptive specifications may be identified by the Engineering Systems Requirements (ESR) to be edited by the Contractor’s Designer of Record. If other UFGS sections or standards are to be referenced in this PTS section, list those not covered by the UMRL in the following two paragraphs.

If the product or system is new and not covered in the PTS, provide a new paragraph and heading. If the product or system is presently covered in the PTS but is being changed by the reference to the UFGS, edit the PTS paragraphs to eliminate redundancy or conflicts. In either case, identify the UFGS section in the products and materials (UNIFORMAT II/WBS level 4) text of the PTS as follows:

"Uniformat II/WBS Number – Paragraph Number Paragraph Heading
The Designer of Record shall utilize UFGS Section Number, "Section Title" for the project specification, and shall submit the edited specification section as a part of the design submittal for the project."

Provide the design and installation in accordance with the following references. This Performance Technical Specification (PTS) adds clarification to the fundamental requirements contained in the following Government Standards. The general requirements of this PTS section are located in PTS Section Z10, General Performance Technical Specification.

B10 1.1.1 Government Standards

Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC)

UFC 3-100-10N, Architecture
UFC 3-300-10N, Structural Engineering

B10 1.2 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION AND ACCEPTANCE TESTING

Verification of satisfactory construction and system performance shall be via Performance Verification Testing, as detailed in this section of the RFP. Provide special tests and special inspections in accordance with UFGS Section 01 45 00.05 20, Design and Construction Quality Control.

B10 1.3 DESIGN SUBMITTALS

Design submittals shall be in accordance with Z10, General Performance Technical Specifications, UFGS section 01 33 10.05 20, Design Submittal Procedures, UFC 1-300-09N, Design Procedures, UFC 3-100-10N, Architecture, and UFC 3-300-10N, Structural Engineering.

NOTE: NAVFAC has made every effort to use commercial standards in the PTS Sections. If project requirements dictate the use of a UFGS Section as a standard, add a paragraph here listing the required UFGS Section. State in the paragraph that the DOR must edit this UFGS Section in accordance with PTS Z10 and submit it as a part of the design submittal.
