NAVFAC Design-Build Model Request for Proposal - Standard Template

H10 WATERFRONT STRUCTURES


SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS
WATERFRONT STRUCTURES TEMPLATE 02/18

Instructions for using this template: There are template files for each UNIFORMAT Level 2 Group Elements. This template is for Group Element H10-WATERFRONT STRUCTURES.  Text such as this is hidden text that will not print when the hidden text box in "Print/Options" is unchecked.

Edit this template for the requirements of the project and wherever brackets [ ] appear. Use UFC 4-152-01 when determining Waterfront Structure system requirements.
 
The SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS are intended to define items that are required throughout the facility or on a system wide basis that are common to waterfront facilities. Waterfront Structure-specific requirements are defined in GENERAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS paragraph of this ESR.  Coordinate with the lead programmer for interface requirement with other elements of the program. Editing is required where brackets [ ] appear. Delete all Waterfront Structure elements that are not required for the project. If additional required elements or sub-elements for the project do not appear in the template, consult with the Capital Improvements Section at NAVFAC Atlantic for additional element numbers and description.  Coordinate with the PERFORMANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION (PTS) SECTION H10 to ensure that performance requirements are provided for all of the Waterfront Facility Elements listed here and that paragraph numbering matches.

There may be rare occasions when prescriptive specifications may either be edited and included in Part 5 of the RFP or required in Section H10 to be edited by the Contractor's Designer of Record.  In both cases, the Engineering Systems Requirements (ESR) must include references to these documents.
