NAVFAC Design-Build RFP > Marine Corps BEQ > PART FOUR - PERFORMANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS > C20 STAIRS

NAVFAC Design-Build Model Request for Proposal - Marine Corps BEQ

C20 STAIRS


NAVFAC                                                 PTS-C20 (September 2022)
                                             ------------------------------
Preparing Activity: NAVFAC                  SUPERSEDING PTS-C20 (December 2018)

PERFORMANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

SECTION C20

STAIRS
09/22


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 for "Hidden text".  To view the criteria notes, choose "File" then "Option".  Click "Display" then check the "Hidden text" box under "Always show these formatting marks on the screen".  In the same section, check the box for "Print hidden text" under "Printing options" to print the criteria notes.

C20 GENERAL

RFP Part 3 including the Engineering System Requirements (ESR) provide project specific requirements.  The RFP Part 4, Performance Technical Sections (PTS) provide generalized technical requirements that apply to multiple facility types and include more requirements than are applicable to any one project. Therefore, only the RFP Part 4 requirements that apply to the project and further define the RFP Part 3 project specific requirements are required.

C20 1.1 DESIGN GUIDANCE

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 that are referenced in the section text that are not found in the Unified Master Reference List (UMRL) in the Federal Facility Criteria (FFC) at the Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG) 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.


NOTE: Edit the following list of industry and government standards to coordinate with the section text additions and deletions.  List all industry and government standards in the following two paragraphs that are indicated in the section text that are not listed in the UMRL.

C20 1.1.1 Industry Standards and Codes

AISC American Institute of Steel Construction

C20 1.1.2 Government Standards

UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC)

UFC 1-200-01

(A reference in this PTS section to UFC 1-200-01 requires compliance with the Tri-Service Core UFCs that are listed therein, which includes the following significant UFC(s):
UFC 3-101-01 Architecture
UFC 1-200-02 High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements)

C20 1.2 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION AND ACCEPTANCE TESTING

Provide verification of satisfactory stair performance via Performance Verification Testing, as detailed in this section of the RFP.

C20 1.2.1 Field Testing for Concrete

Field Quality Control Test Reports to be submitted to Designer of Record (DOR) must comply with American Concrete Institute (ACI) 301.  If concrete is found to be below the strength required in the tests, remove and replace that concrete and all associated building components at no additional cost to the Government.

C20 1.3 DESIGN SUBMITTALS

Provide design submittals in accordance with PTS Section Z10, General Performance Technical Specifications, Part 2 Section 01 33 10.05 20, Design Submittal Procedures, Facilities Criteria (FC) 1-300-09N, Navy and Marine Corps Design Procedures, and UFC 3-101-01, Architecture.


NOTE:  NAVFAC has made every effort to use commercial standards in the PTS sections.  This PTS section is designed to only use commercial standards.  If project requirements dictate the use of a UFGS sections 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.
