NAVFAC Design-Build Model Request for Proposal - Test

F10 GENERAL

F10 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.

Industry standards, codes, and Government standards referenced in the section text that are not found in the Unified Master Reference List (UMRL) in the Construction Criteria Base (CCB) at the Whole Building Design Guide Website, are listed below for basic designation identification.  Comply with the required and advisory portions of the current edition of the standard at the time of contract award.

F10 1.1.1 Government Standards

UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC)

UFC 03-100-10N, Architecture

UFC 03-300-10N, Structural Engineering

UNIFIED FACILITIES GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS (UFGS)

Utilize this paragraph to list tests to be performed by the Contractor as required by the Designer of Record (DOR).  Delete the paragraph if there is to be no testing cited.

F10 1.2 PERFORMANCE VERTIFICATION AND ACCEPTANCE TESTING

Verification of satisfactory special construction 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.

F10 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, and 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. 

F10 1.4 CONSTRUCTION SUBMITTALS

Submit construction submittals in accordance with PTS Section Z10, General Performance Technical Specifications.  In addition to the Z10 requirements, the Designer of Record (DOR) shall approve the following submittals as a minimum:

All structural elements necessary for construction.

For a pre-engineered metal building, provide shop drawings showing engineering data and complete building drawings, signed and sealed by a registered professional engineer.

All structural design shall comply with the provisions of PTS Section B10, Superstructure.  The steel structure shall be as designed by the structural engineer.  If used for thrust bracing, tie rods shall be concrete encased. Design framed openings structurally.

F101001 1.1.1 Additional Roof Design Requirements

1. Roof Decking – In addition to any other load requirements, roof decking shall be designed to support a 200-pound (91 kg) concentrated load at mid-span on a 12-inch (300 mm) wide section of deck.

   2)  Purlins and Roof Panels:  The deflection due to live, snow, or wind shall not exceed L/180.  The design analysis shall establish that the roof when deflected under dead plus live or snow loads will not result in a negative gradient.  Maximum deflections shall be based on sheets continuous across two or more supports with sheets unfastened and free to deflect.  Provide bracing of purlin compression flanges as required to resist applied loading.
2. Wall Panels - Maximum deflection of wall panels due to wind loads shall be as required by the IBC and UFC.
