FOREWORD
Facilities Criteria (FC) provide functional requirements (i.e., defined by users and operational
needs of a particular facility type) for specific DoD Component(s), and are intended for use with
unified technical requirements published in DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). FC are
applicable only to the DoD Component(s) indicated in the title, and do not represent unified DoD
requirements. Differences in functional requirements between DoD Components may exist due
to differences in policies and operational needs.
All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces Agreements
(SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances,
Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.) Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure
compliance with the most stringent of the UFC (replace w/ FC), the SOFA, the HNFA, and the
BIA, as applicable.
Because FC are coordinated with unified DoD technical requirements, they form an element of
the DoD UFC system applicable to specific facility types. The UFC system is prescribed by
MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and
modernization criteria, and applicable to the Military Departments, Defense Agencies, and the
DoD Field Activities. The UFC System also includes technical requirements and functional
requirements for specific facility types, both published as UFC documents and FC documents.
FC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to
users as part of the Services responsibility for providing criteria for military construction.
Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering
Command (NAVFAC), and the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) are responsible for
administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for
document interpretation and improvements. Technical content is the responsibility of the
cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be
sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change
Request. The form is also accessible from the Internet site listed below.
FC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following
source:
Whole Building Design Guide web site http://dod.wbdg.org/.
Refer to UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements, for implementation of new issuances
on projects.

REVISION SUMMARY SHEET
Document:

FC 1-300-09N, Navy and Marine Corps Design Procedures

Superseding:

UFC 1-300-09N, Design Procedures, 25 May 2005, with Changes 1-9

Description: This FC provides specific guidance on how and when to provide a project
design deliverable for NAVFAC. This document is organized into design deliverables
and design phases. Requirements for design deliverables, beyond or in more detail of
what is already required by a Core UFC, are provided for NAVFAC-only. The
requirements for when or to what extent these deliverables are provided are in the
Phase chapters.
Reasons for Document:

Update procedures to coordinate with current commercial and government

standards, procedures, and governing UFCs.

Update sustainable documents and requirements to coordinate with UFC 1-20002.

Impact:

Improve efficiency and consistency of design procedures across NAVFAC.

Unification Issues
Design and Submittal procedures contained herein are pertinent to standards, software,
and templates used, required, and unified within NAVFAC, and centered around the
NAVFAC organization and operation. Procedures for NAVFAC may not work for
USACE and Air Force operations due to organizational and operational differences.
Similar uniform standardization and procedures are not available from the other
Services.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1-1

PURPOSE AND SCOPE.

This FC provides policy and standards for the design, development, and revision of
project documents, including drawings, specifications, and Requests for Proposal, for
facilities under the cognizance of NAVFAC. This FC has been developed to ensure
consistency and clarity of project documents that form the basis of contracts for the
design and construction of facilities.
1-1.1

Organization of Document.

This document is organized into design policy, roles and responsibilities, design
deliverables, and design phases. The design deliverables chapters contain general
requirements that apply throughout the design process. For the disciplines, additional
information is provided only if it is not already in another UFC; thus a discipline
paragraph may not be provided if the Core UFC already provides the requirements for
that deliverable, or the level of completion of that deliverable. Core UFCs are defined
and listed in UFC 1-200-01.
Detailed level of completion for each type of submittal, and for each discipline, only
beyond what is specified in other UFCs, are included in each design phase.
1-2

APPLICABILITY.

This FC applies to projects where NAVFAC is the construction agent, as defined in

DoDD 4270.5, for preparation of construction contract drawings, specifications, and
Request for Proposals for shore facilities, and is applicable to both Design-Bid-Build
(DBB) and Design-Build (DB) projects.
1-3

GENERAL BUILDING REQUIREMENTS.

Comply with UFC 1-200-01 and UFC 1-200-02. UFC 1-200-02 must be used in
conjunction with UFC 1-200-01 and the UFCs and government criteria referenced
therein. UFC 1-200-01 provides applicability of model building codes and governmentunique criteria for typical design disciplines and building systems, as well as for
accessibility, antiterrorism, security, sustainability, and safety. UFC 1-200-02 provides
minimum unified requirements and coordinating guidance for planning, designing,
constructing, renovating, and maintaining high performance and sustainable facilities
that will enhance DOD mission capability by reducing total ownership costs. Use this
FC in addition to UFC 1-200-01, UFC 1-200-02, and the UFCs and government criteria
referenced therein.
1-4

EXCEPTIONS.

Austere Requirements may be invoked on a per-project basis, and only by formal letter
from Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC). Austere requirement options
are included in UFC 4-610-01 FC 4-721-10N, FC 4-722-01N, and FC 4-740-02N.

CHAPTER 2 POLICY
2-1

CRITERIA.

Design Naval shore facilities in accordance with all Navy and Department of Defense
(DoD) Criteria. DoD Design Criteria are available from the Whole Building Design
Guide web site (http://dod.wbdg.org/) and from the Construction Criteria Base (CCB)
web site (http://www.wbdg.org/ccb.) Design criteria include general criteria, as well as
specific criteria on particular elements of the work (e.g., Geotechnical Engineering) and
facility types (e.g., Bachelor Quarters). Design requirements are typically in the form of
Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). The contract will reference the specific requirements
applicable to a particular project. Deviations from criteria must be approved by the
NAVFAC Chief Engineer and in accordance with MIL-STD-3007.
2-2

METRIC POLICY.

Comply with MIL-STD-3007 for the use of SI in projects and criteria documents.
NAVFAC policy is to use the metric system of measurement (International System of
Units, SI) in planning and design criteria, Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS),
and construction contract documents for all MCON/MILCON, BRACON, and family
housing, regardless of acquisition method. See exception under the paragraph in this
chapter entitled, General Policy.
2-2.1

SI Definitions.

A Hard Metric measurement indicates a non-interchangeable SI value and is based on

SI values that change in size and properties from Inch-Pound (IP) values.
A Soft Metric measurement is a mathematical approximation or equal unit conversion of
an IP product.
2-2.2

General Policy.

In accordance with Public Law 94-168, design and construction of new or renovated
facilities must use the metric system of measurement, unless its use is impractical or is
likely to cause significant inefficiencies or loss of markets to United States firms.
Specify hard metric products unless such products are unavailable or uneconomical.
Do not use dual units on drawings on any type of project. The design agent project
manager is responsible for making the determination on whether or not to use the
metric system of measurement on a project-by-project basis. Decisions to not use the
metric system must be justifiable and documented in permanent project files. Comply
with Facilities Engineering Command (FEC) process for determination of exception for
the metric system.

7-1

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

Provide drawings in accordance with the Core UFCs, the contract, Chapter 12,
Electronic Design Deliverable (EDD) Format, and the additional Discipline requirements
herein, for every stage of design. If another UFC adequately describes the requirement
for a Disciplines deliverable, a paragraph for that Discipline is not provided below.
7-2

PRESENTATION.

Drawings must be consistent in presentation and format. If one discipline shows

material selections directly on the details, other disciplines must conform to that format,
and not use numbers to refer to a numerical legend elsewhere on the drawings.
7-3

DRAWING NUMBERS.

Request NAVFAC drawing numbers from the Governments Project Manager or the
Design Manager. Provide them with the following information:
1) The amount of numbers required;
2) The eProjects\1\/1/ Work Order Number, and
3) The project title. Request enough numbers (usually 10% more) that
additional sheets can be added if necessary.
/1/Only use the Maximo number, in lieu of eProjects Work Order Number, if eProjects is
not required for the project.\1\
7-4

PROPER USE OF NOTES ON DRAWINGS.

Be consistent with grammar used in notes on drawings. Wherever

possible use imperative statements to describe work to be accomplished
by Contractor. For example, instead of using Contractor must provide,
use provide. It is understood that the notes are written for the
Contractors action.

Do not use to be for describing work that will be accomplished by the

Contractor. To be implies that someone will accomplish the work other
than the Contractor, such as the Government or another Contractor. If
work is to be accomplished by Government, for example, say
Government will remove storage building prior to start of construction.

Do not use install for work that is to be accomplished by the Contractor.

Install means Government or others will furnish equipment or materials
and Contractor will install. Furnish means Contractor must only furnish;
Government or others will install. Use provide when the Contractor is to
furnish and install equipment and materials.
29

FC1-300-09N
1 May 2014
Change 2, 21 Aug 2015

Do not use proposed for new construction. Proposed means future

work by others or work not in this contract.

Do not use new for work in the contract. All work shown on the drawings
is considered new, unless indicated otherwise. Inconsistent use of new
throughout the drawings could mean that only some of the work is
required.

Do not use ambiguous statements that cannot be enforced by the

inspector during construction. For example: grade to drain; hand
excavate carefully; provide materials in good condition.

Be careful with statements like remove and replace, which means to

remove old item or material and replace that item or material when work is
completed. This statement would be appropriate for work in a pump
station where pumps were removed prior to the work and those same
pumps replaced after the work is completed. On the contrary, if a portion
of a concrete walk is cracked and requires replacement, say remove and
provide concrete walk.

When referring to requirement for coordination between Contractor and

Government agency, for example, use coordinate utility connection with
Contracting Officer; do not use words such as Navy, ROICC, or PWD
for Government Agency.

Do not indicate see specifications on the drawings. The drawings and

the specifications form a complete construction package.

Do not use all or any.

Do not use words that have multiple meanings, requiring opinions, or

judgmental decisions, such as timely, nearly, good-condition,
suitable, well-balanced, suitable for intended use, reasonable,

CHAPTER 8 DELIVERABLE: SPECIFICATIONS
8-1

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

Provide specifications in accordance with UFC 1-200-01, the Core UFCs, UFC 1-30002, and Chapter 12. Provide specifications that are as brief as possible, definitive, and
free of ambiguities and omissions that may result in controversy and contractor claims
for additional compensation.
8-2

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS.

Specifications offer criteria for materials, equipment, and test methods. Guide
specifications are documents that describe products and materials and the work
necessary to incorporate them into a construction project. A guide specification
facilitates the preparation of project specifications by standardizing products and
processes, and their order of presentation. DoD uses the Unified Facilities Guide
Specifications (UFGS) database, provided on the Whole Building Design Guide website
(http://www.wbdg.org), which is updated quarterly. Edit guide specifications to specific
project requirements for incorporation into the contract documents. Guide specification
and project specification sections describe the following in detail:

Product or system to be provided,

Salient design features or performance requirements of the product or

system,

Quality of that product or system and methods used to ensure the quality,
including on-site and off-site testing,

Method to be used to incorporate the product or system into the project,

and

Other features and functions necessary.

Guide specification section numbers, up to 10 digits, in CSI MasterFormat 2004, are

grouped in pairs. Each of these groupings is referred to as a level, from one to five.
Refer to the CSI MasterFormat website at http://www.csinet.org/mfnumber for further
explanation.
8-2.1

Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS).

Use Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) for all projects, including DesignBuild. UFGS are available at the Whole Building Design Guide website at
http://dod.wbdg.org/. Tailor and modify the UFGS as necessary to suit the work
required by the specific project, including editing for metric or inch-pound. In addition,
modify and edit to reflect the latest proven technology, materials, and methods, for the
project.

37

FC1-300-09N
1 May 2014
Change 2, 21 Aug 2015
There is only one current version of a guide specification at any time. The guide
specification with the latest revision date and change number automatically cancels
specifications of the same number with a previous date and change number.
8-2.2

Regional Guide Specifications.

Some Supported Commands have modified some of the UFGS for their region; these
are referred to as Regional Guide Specifications. Use Regional Guide Specifications
when sections are available by the Region and Activity for the project location, and as
required by the contract. Regional specifications are located on the Whole Building
Design Guide website at http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/browse_cat.php?o=3&c=43 and
where indicated in the contract.
Regional specifications are limited in number and scope to selected subjects particular
to a location and contain a majority of local requirements. Regional specifications are
used in the same way as the UFGS except that they are used only in the area of the
specific facility engineering command jurisdiction. Regional specifications are
numbered the same as the UFGS that has been used as a basis for the regional
specification, with the exception of a regional designation at the fifth level for
specifications in CSI MasterFormat 12; for example, in UFGS Section number, 01 13
30.00 22, 22 indicates the region. Assigned regional designations can be found with
the Regional specifications at http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/browse_cat.php?o=3&c=43.
8-2.3

Other Guide Specifications.

Other guide specifications are only allowed as a basis for information when not
available in the UFGS. These developed specifications must be provided in UFGS
format and modified to meet requirements of UFC 1-300-02. Do not use NASA UFGS
specification sections (ends with 40 at the fifth level).
8-2.4

UFGS Selection Order of Precedence.

Unless specified otherwise in the contract, the order of precedence for selecting which
UFGS to start from, for CONUS jobs that require the use of the UFGS, is as follows:
1) Regional Guide Specifications (for the project location and where
sections are available).
2) UFGS, Navy only (UFGS with a 20 at the fifth level in CSI
MasterFormat 12).
3) UFGS (unified, no designator at the fifth level).
4) Other DoD UFGS (Army UFGS with .00 10 designation and modified
for Navy job)
5) Other Guide Specifications.

requirements. Follow the Notes to the Designer to make selections in the UFGS. Use
language and format in accordance with UFC 1-300-02. Delete portions of the guide
specification not included in the project design and scope./1/
Use guide specifications only as source documents, and do not reference them in
project specifications. Do not combine work covered by various UFGSs into one
section unless the project is small and work is of a minor nature, and the Government
Project Manager concurs.
8-3.2.1

\1\Geotechnical and Civil Specifications.

Do not edit outside of the guide specifications bracketed selections for Geotechnical
and Civil UFGS sections in Division 32, without prior approval of the Government
project manager./1/

CHAPTER 9 DELIVERABLE: COST ESTIMATES
9-1

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

Provide cost estimates at each submittal stage as required \1\by and in accordance with
the NAVFAC Cost Engineering Policy and Procedures unless specifically indicated
otherwise in the contract documents/1/. NAVFAC standard Cost Engineering practices
are as defined by UFC 3-701-01, UFC 3-730-01, and UFC 3-740-05, as modified by the
requirements of NAVFAC Cost Engineering Policy and Procedures. In cases of conflict
between any of these documents, the NAVFAC Cost Engineering Policy and
Procedures guidance governs.
9-2

USE OF SUCCESS ESTIMATOR AND PACES.

9-2.1

Detailed Cost Estimates.

Detailed cost estimates, when required by contract for projects over $500,000, must be
prepared using SUCCESS Estimator (SUCCESS). The acceptable SUCCESS
software version must be compatible with that in use by NAVFAC. While standard
NAVFAC SUCCESS Templates \1\and reports/1/ are available free of charge at
http://www.uscost.net/CostEngineering/index.htm, the AE is responsible for purchase of
the software and databases. Comply with the NAVFAC Cost Engineering Policy and
Procedures for detailed cost estimate requirements for NAVFAC.
9-2.2

Parametric Cost Estimates.

Prepare Parametric cost estimates as required by the contract using NAVFAC approved
software. PACES (PArametric Cost Estimating System) is an application utilized by
NAVFAC that was developed specifically for developing DOD and commercial
parametric estimates. \1\/1/Comply with the NAVFAC Cost Engineering Policy and
Procedures for Parametric cost estimate requirements for NAVFAC.

CHAPTER 10 DELIVERABLE: CONTRACTING REQUIREMENTS
10-1

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

The Contract Specialist incorporates Contract Line Items (CLINs) from the information
provided in the Project Information Form (PIF) and Document 00 22 13.00 20,
Supplementary Instructions to Offerors. Provide and submit the PIF and UFGS
Document 00 22 13.00 20 in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format, to the Government
Project Manager who will provide it to the Contracting Specialist.
10-2

PROJECT INFORMATION FORM (PIF).

Prepare and provide a Project Information Form (PIF); attach the completed UFGS
Document 00 22 13.00 20 to it. The PIF communicates to the Contract Specialist which
contract clauses to include in the solicitation. The Government representative forwards
the PIF to the Contracting Specialist to prepare the contract clauses for the solicitation.
A downloadable version of the PIF is available at
http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/browse_cat.php?c=44.
10-3

SELECTION OF CLINS.

The Base Contract Line Item must provide a complete and usable facility (primary
facility, supporting facilities, and design in accordance with previous paragraph). Option
items and additive items must be able to be logically separated from the project without
rendering the facility unusable. Intention is for the Base CLIN, together with all the
contract line items, to provide the maximum, usable facility within the funds available.
Do not use Additive and Option items in the same contract; use one or the other.
Additive items are only allowed for sealed bids; do not use unless allowed by
Contracting Officer.
Use multiple SUB-CLINs for cost breakdown of facilities and site, and unit prices. Use
multiple CLINS for multiple funding sources (such as when combining one or more
projects into one contract package), and option or additive line items. Provide separate
SUB-CLINs for 1) Each facility (as indicated by the Category Code), 2) The total project
supporting facility (utility) cost (outside the five foot (1.5 m) line, and 3) Design Fee (if a
Design-Build project). The number of items and the estimated cost per item depends
upon the nature of the project. Provide no more than four contract line items (base
item, plus three), unless specifically approved by the Contracting Officer. Each
estimated option or additive item should tend to approximate 2% to 10% of the
estimated base item.
10-4

OPTIONS AND ADDITIVES ON DRAWINGS.

Options and Additives can change up to award of the contract. Do not indicate Contract
Line Items on the drawings, or reference anywhere in the specifications, unless
approved by the Government, who may allow only if a description of the line item in
schedule does not adequately describe the work. Samples of Document 00 22 13.00
20 are provided in Appendix C.
51

FC1-300-09N
1 May 2014
Change 2, 21 Aug 2015
Do not use the term alternate to represent line items. Do not use terms, such as base
item to indicate items in the primary contract line item.
10-5

OPTION ITEMS.

When different funding sources are used, or when funding is not available to cover
certain portions of the work at the time of proposal opening, but there exists a high
probability of attaining the funding in the near future, option items provide a means to
separate the funding sources, or to obtain and hold competitive prices for future award
of items of work. Typically, the price for the option item(s) is added to the base item
price to determine the low offer. Options need not be listed in a particular order. They
are executed individually at the Governments discretion. A time limit is given in the
contract documents for the Governments right to execute each option. Use of options
in construction contracts must be approved by the Contracting Officer prior to
advertisement.
10-6

ADDITIVE ITEMS.

Since additive line items are only allowed in sealed bid, do not use these unless allowed
by the Contracting Officer. If used, arrange additive items such that the most essential
portion of the work is added first. Arrange succeeding items in decreasing importance.
During evaluation of the offers, additive items are added to the base item in the order
listed. As each additive item is added, a new bid price is computed and compared to
the available funds. As additive items are determined to be within the funds available
they are added to the Offerors bid price. If they are not within the funds available, they
are skipped. Each additive item must be independent of the others.
10-7

DEDUCTIVE ITEMS.

Do not use deductive items. The base contract line item must contain the minimum
requirements of the contract. Using deductive items implies that the project is designed
above those minimum requirements. Use Options instead.
10-8

PLANNED MODIFICATION ITEMS.

Planned Modifications are changes to the contract that the Government can only award
after the initial award of the contract, due to the nature of the work. Award time of a
planned modification is measured from construction completion date (usually 6 months
prior to completion), rather than award date. This differentiates them from Option Items.
Planned funding for Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E) is from a different source
than the Base Contract Line Item. Therefore, provide a separate CLIN for the purchase
and installation coordination of all FF&E; designate it as a Planned Modification. The
Offeror must propose a Handling and Administration (HAR) not to exceed 5% within this
CLIN which will be applied to the final FF&E package amount at modification award.
HAR is limited to 5% for NAVFAC in accordance with NAVFAC Furniture, Fixtures &
Equipment (FF&E) Contracting Guide for Design-Build Construction Projects, which is
also valid for Design-Bid-Build Projects by Amendment, and available for download by

11-1

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

Requirements for preparation of RFP are also provided in Chapter 12, Electronic Design
Deliverables (EDD) Format.
11-2

DESIGN-BUILD REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION.

NAVFAC Design-Build (DB) RFPs are developed by organizing project requirements

into the NAVFAC DB Six part Format to procure facilities for our Navy Customers and
Users. Requirements included in the RFP are driven by the need to control the design
and the construction of the facility. Because the Contractor is designing and
constructing the facility, design issues are just as important as construction issues and
must be given equal consideration. The RFP information may be gathered from many
sources such as:

1391 Documentation

Funding Documents

Site conditions and Restraints

User Requirements

Local and Regional Requirements

Applicable Standards and Codes

Applicable NAVFAC and DoD Criteria and Clauses

Performance and Prescriptive Product, Material, and System

Requirements

RFPs are a combination of performance and prescriptive requirements, but give

preference to performance requirements for DB. However, many times prescriptive
requirements are necessary to define a minimum acceptable solution or expected level
of quality. Therefore, mold the type of information included in the RFP to meet the
anticipated level of quality and needs of the User. Create performance and prescriptive
requirements that comply with the following characteristics of each.

Performance requirements state the function, desired results, and

durability to control the Contractors design and selection of products,
materials, and systems.

Prescriptive requirements define the products, materials, and system or

their characteristics to control the facility function, performance, and
quality.

DESIGN-BUILD REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WEBSITE, FORMAT,
AND DOCUMENTS.
Guidance on preparing the RFP for Design-Build projects and Design-Build Template
documents are available on the NAVFAC Design-Build Master web site
(http://www.wbdg.org/ndbm). This site is intended to (1) familiarize those new to the
NAVFAC Design-Build process with the RFP format and typical RFP specification
sections and (2) allow those preparing a Design-Build RFP to download the current and
archived electronic documents. The Design-Build RFP web site is organized using links
to major components of the Design-Build RFP, including:

Overview and Training - NAVFAC RFP Format, Uniformat Information

Structures, and NAVFAC Technical Contacts responsible for document
maintenance.

Design Guidance.

Standard Template This is the foundation template that can be used on

all projects. The Standard Template is designed to cover most of the
building types routinely designed and built by NAVFAC. Industrial and
specialized facilities are examples of building types that require additional
information to be added to the Standard Template to cover the design,
materials, and equipment that are unique to these buildings types.

Model RFP Templates - The Model RFP Templates use the Standard
Template as its foundation. Each Model Template modifies the Standard
Template to suit a particular building type. These Models are an
advanced starting point toward creating an RFP, however they do require
coordination with User and facility requirements to properly define the final
RFP. The building type templates in the Design-Build Master Website are:
o Armory
o Child Development Centers
o Dining Facility
o Entry Control Facility
o Fire Station
o Fitness Center
o Hangar
o Magazine
o Marine Corp BEQ
o Market Style BEQ

Small Project Template (SPT): The SPT is a scaled down version of the
Standard Template to be used on projects of low-complexity and a limited

number of construction trades. SPT projects utilize routine designs with
limited plans & specifications and fit within monetary thresholds.
o A tool located with the SPT at web link: \1\
http://www.wbdg.org/ndbm/pdfs/decision_guidance_navfac_spdb.pdf
/1/ includes a table Decision Guidance for Use of Small Project
Design-Build Process to provide guidance in the application of the
SPT.
11-3.1

RFP Format.

The RFP must include all six RFP Parts indicated below unless they are not applicable
to the project. The typical facility project will have information in every RFP Part, with
the possible exception of RFP Part Five, Prescriptive Specifications. Typically, Part
One is not prepared by the RFP developer, but is provided by the NAVFAC Acquisition
office after RFP Parts Two through Six have been completed by the RFP developer.
The RFP developer is required to provide certain information such as the Project
Information Form (PIF) for the NAVFAC Acquisition office to properly prepare the RFP
Part One. Verify with the NAVFAC Facility Engineering Command, what provisions are
necessary to allow for the RFP Part One to be integrated into the RFP.
The DB Templates utilize different types of information in different Parts of the RFP.
Therefore, there are different information structures employed to organize the
information in the different RFP Parts. The following list indicates the type of
information and information structures are used in the RFP Parts:

Part One includes the Proposal Form and Documents and specifies the
contractual requirements.
o This Part uses the Standard Procurement System documents that are
organized using the CSI Masterformat.

Part Two contains the General Requirements Specification Sections

some only available at the Design-Build website.
o This Part uses specification sections organized using CSI
Masterformat.

Part Three contains the Project Program for the project.

o This Part predominately uses a paragraph format; Chapter Six of Part
3, the Engineering Systems Requirements uses Uniformat.

Part Four contains the Performance Technical Specifications.

o This Part uses Uniformat.

Part Five contains any Prescriptive Specifications required for the DesignBuild RFP.
o This Part uses CSI Masterformat.

57

FC1-300-09N

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS.

Because the DB projects require design and construction submittals, the submittals are
more complex than Design-Bid-Build. The DB process utilizes the RFP and the UFCs
to define design submittals and the RFP and the UFGS to define construction
submittals.
11-7.1

Locations of DB Submittal Requirements.

Because the DB submittals are spread into different documents, the preparers of DB
submittals are required to refer to multiple locations to obtain the complete submittal
requirement. The design and construction requirements are found in the six major

Government Approval and Surveillance of DB Submittals.

The RFP DB submittals are organized to allow the RFP editor the flexibility to evaluate
the project needs, determine the availability of Government resources to review
submittals, and modify the submittal approval requirements to suite the project. The
following Government approvals are built into the RFP Part Two DB Templates but may
need input from the RFP editor to tailor the submittal to the project;
a) RFP Part Two, UFGS 01 33 00.05 20, Submittals Reserved for
Government Approval - all RFP Part Two UFGS section submittals
denoted with a G submittal action code.
b) RFP Part Two, UFGS 01 33 10.05 20, Government Approving
Authority Government approves all design submittals.
c) RFP Part Two, UFGS 01 33 10.05 20, Exception to Contractor
Construction Actions Identifies certain Government design
submittals approvals that have to be accomplished before construction
related to that design submittal can begin.
d) RFP Part Two, UFGS 01 33 10.05 20, Design Documents, and UFGS
01 33 00.05 20, Contractor Reviewing, Certifying, Approving Authority Government identified construction submittals required to be
incorporated in the design submittals. DOR approval of identified
construction submittals precedes Government approval of associated
design submittals.
e) RFP Part Two, UFGS 01 33 00.05 20, Submittals Reserved for
Government Approval - Construction submittals reserved for
Government approval. The approval of these identified construction
submittals prevents the contractor from beginning construction on that
portion of the work until Government approval is obtained.
11-7.2.1

Surveillance Submittals.

The Government requires the contractors DOR to approve most of the construction
submittals; however, the RFP identifies certain construction submittals for Government
surveillance. Government surveillance does not prevent the contractor from proceeding
with construction but allows the Government a chance to confirm the submittal
approvals of the DOR. Surveillance of construction submittals are built into the DB
Template at the following location:

Critical Path Submittals.

Contractor submittals in Design-Build may be designated as Critical Path Submittals, as

further described in UFGS 01 33 10.05 20 of the RFP. In this situation, the submittal
may only contain the design of one or a few disciplines, for example, civil and structural.
Follow the submittal requirements as applicable for the disciplines pertaining to that
critical path submittal. Ensure that work is included and coordinated with the other
disciplines that are affected by that critical path work; for example, electrical and
mechanical site work is included and shown on the civil site work critical path submittal,
and provisions are made for the utility service entrances through foundation and for
major pieces of equipment for the foundation work critical path submittal.

CAD Standards.

Comply with the DoD A/E/C CAD Standard latest version except as noted below. The
A/E/C CAD standard is available at https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/CAD or
66

1 May 2014
Change 2, 21 Aug 2015
http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/browse_org.php?o=65 . In cases where the DoD A/E/C CAD
Standard version changes after a project has commenced, the project PM must be
consulted prior to adoption and integration of the newer standard into the drawing
\1\source/1/ files.
In cases where the DoD A/E/C CAD Standard does not provide guidance for (or
reference to) a specific CAD Standard element, refer to the referenced National CAD
Standards (NCS) document identified in the DoD A/E/C CAD Standard for guidance. In
all cases, the project PM must be consulted.
12-3.3.4.1

NAVFAC Standard Drawing Format.

All sheet drawings must use the NAVFAC standard title block (border sheet). Provide all
sheet drawings in ANSI D (22 x 34 inches) size format for projects using imperial units.
Provide all sheet drawings in ISO A1 (594 x 841 mm) for projects using metric units
(ANSI D is assumed in other parts of this FC, but modify and scale as appropriate if ISO
A1 is used). See this chapters paragraph NAVFAC Supported EDD Standard
Components.
All \1\source/1/ drawings must contain only (1) one plotted sheet. \1\Drawing source/1/
files which contain more than one sheet will be rejected with the following exceptions:

Civil Sheet Files which the entirety of the project site cannot be legibly
shown on a single sheet.

Plan Sheet Files which the entirety of the project plan cannot be legibly
shown on a single sheet at 1/8 = 1 0 (1 = 100) scale.

In both cases consult with the project PM prior to developing sheet files to ensure
concurrence.
12-3.3.4.2

Plotting Guidelines.

Pen weights and colors must be in accordance with the NAVFAC pen table. NAVFAC
has developed a comprehensive pen table that utilizes the NCS 255-pen table as a
basis, but has added thinner lines and grayscale pens.
The NAVFAC pen tables are provided on the Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG)
(See the paragraph in this Chapter entitled, NAVFAC Supported EDD Standard
Components).
This pen table and corresponding line weights were established to be legible when
printed at half-size (11 x 17 inches (279 x 431 mm)), when the displayed text height is
1/16 inch (1.5 mm). All plotted files (hardcopy or PDF) must be monochrome, unless
color plots are specifically requested. Use color numbers assigned to black or
halftone only.
12-3.3.4.3

Text Font and Size.

67

FC1-300-09N
1 May 2014
Change 2, 21 Aug 2015
Use standard text heights for a plotted full-size drawing of 1/8 inch (3 mm) for typical
text, 1/4 inch (6 mm) for titles, and 1 inch (25mm) maximum for project titles on cover
sheets. For existing features on plotted full-size civil drawings, a minimum text height of
0.1 inch (2.5 mm) and an oblique angle of 12 degrees are allowed. Use a width factor
of 0.8 for all fonts that are not a part of the border sheet.

Use the ROMANS.SHX font file for all 1/8 inch (3 mm) or smaller text.

Use SWISS.TTF (Swis721 BT) font file for all 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger
text.

In cases where a CAD program (see the paragraph in this chapter entitled, CAD
Standards) does not support the specified font styles/format, the use of alternate font
styles which match the specified fonts styles (both in the printed PDF and DWG files), is
permitted. In this case, it is required that the original source CAD files be provided in
addition to the DWG files. Notify the project PM prior to commencement of drawing
development with the following information:

Name, Version, File format and Vendor of CAD application being used

Name of font(s) being substituted and name of substitute font(s)

Copy of substitution font(s).

Project PM confirmation of substitution is required to ensure font styles are acceptable.

12-3.3.4.4

Translations.

Construction drawings are required to be prepared in dual language at a majority of

overseas locations. For drawings developed in dual language, provide adequate space
for the foreign language translation for objects such as notes, titles, and symbols. The
final drawing must not appear cluttered or congested. Provide translations (such as for
notes, titles, and symbols) on Drawings with English on top, and the Host Nation
language on the bottom.
12-3.3.4.5

File Naming Conventions.

Use File Naming Convention for all CAD Files as specified in the DoD AEC CAD
Standard except as noted below:

Drawing Support Files.

Support files necessary for initializing, editing and plotting drawing files must be a
standard DWG or Microsoft Windows component (or they must be an integral and
standard component within the drawing file that require no third party custom utility or
program to use). Support files include, but are not limited to, line types, hatch patterns,
font styles, layer filters, display configurations and object styles. DWG files containing
objects, styles, or definitions that require any external files (e.g. SHX, LIN or LAY) to
initialize, operate and display properly will be rejected.
12-3.3.6

Cost Estimates.

Submit the contract cost estimate electronically in PDF and SUCCESS Estimator native

\1\Preliminary Design Documents.

Preliminary design includes all phases of Design except for the Final Design phase./1/
All source drawings and their associated PDFs must maintain a PRELIMINARY Not
For Construction stamp across the signature areas of the title block, until the actual
final design submittal. The NAVFAC D-size borders have this block on the default title
block displayed on layer G-ANNO-TTLB-PRLM. That layer must be frozen at the time
of creating the final deliverables. Except for the final submittal, indicate the submittal
phase designation, such as Prefinal, after the project title in the header and on the
coversheet of the specifications or the RFP.

Final Design Documents.

General.

Convert \1\source drawings/1/ to PDF format directly from their authoring software. Any
drawing (DWG) files larger than 17Mb must be broken into smaller files. Drawing PDF
file sizes must be a maximum of 17Mb with digital signatures. There is no limit on file
size for specifications or RFPs.
12-3.5.2

Format of Final Design Drawings.

Combine all drawings into a single PDF file to facilitate ease of use unless file size
requires a multi-file submission. Do not combine multiple PDFs into a PDF package
prior to submission.
Bookmark PDF files and create visual thumbnails. Create a bookmark for the
beginning of each drawing discipline. Create a sub-bookmark for individual drawing
sheets. Bookmark wording must be as descriptive as practical (i.e., S-101 Foundation
Plan). When complete, the files must open to the bookmarks view as the default view
with the drawing sheets visible in fit to page magnification. Before submission to
NAVFAC, the professional must electronically sign and seal all sheets and appropriate
locations on the NAVFAC Title Block(s) (See paragraph NAVFAC Electronic Signature
Requirements.)
12-3.5.2.1

Multi-File Drawings.

If the PDF drawing set must be broken into several PDF sets due to the file size
restrictions given in the paragraph in this chapter entitled, Record Drawing
Preparation, every attempt should be made to package complete discipline sets (i.e.,
do not break-up discipline specific sheets).
12-3.5.3

Format of Final Design Specifications.

Convert all specifications to PDF format directly from their authoring software. Combine
specification sections into a single PDF file to facilitate ease of use. Insert PDF of
attachments, such as Submittal Register and Environmental Forms, following the
respective UFGS section and Bookmark.

12-3.5.3.1

Preparation of PDF for Final Design Specification.

1) Merge PDF files for each section into one PDF file.
2) Combine the PDF files of the Coversheet, Table of Contents, and other
project specific files including the Submittal Register. Insert blank
pages where needed so that sections, graphics, and reports begin on
an odd number page. Create thumbnail images of each page.
3) Bookmark the Coversheet, Table of Contents, each Division, Section,
and inserted graphics, including the submittal register. Each Division
bookmark must read DIVISION XX - DIVISION TITLE, each Section
bookmark must read XX XX XX.XX XX - SECTION TITLE, and is a
sub-bookmark of its corresponding division. SpecsIntact allows
printing of the PDF in this format automatically; however the
coversheet and graphics must be inserted at the appropriate location.
4) Set the Document Properties of the PDF such that it opens to the first
page and to the bookmarks view as the default view with the
specification or RFP pages visible in fit page magnification.
5) Before submission to NAVFAC at Final, the principle design
professional must electronically sign the documents in accordance with
paragraph NAVFAC Electronic Signature Requirements.

12-3.5.4

Format of PDF for Final DB RFP.

Provide PDF of RFP following the requirements for Specifications in the paragraph in
this chapter entitled, Record Drawing File Naming, except add a bookmark for each
Part. Insert attachments following the same convention.
If the RFP contains drawings, provide a separate PDF for the RFP and the drawings.
Typically, reference drawings are provided in Part 6. This should be a separate file
because of the sheet size (11 x 17 inches (279 mm x 432 mm) or 22 x 34 inches (558.6
mm x 863.6 mm)), and will facilitate printing of this file separately by the Contractor.

Record Drawing Preparation.

Prepare Record Drawings in accordance with the drawing format guidelines of this
Chapter and the following additional requirements. Make all drawing changes in native
Drawing (*.DWG) format incorporating modifications and as-built conditions. Use the
CAD standards used for the \1\Contract Drawings Source Files/1/ for as-built
modifications and the following guidelines:

Make revisions on the original layer of the object being changed. Draw a
cloud around the changed portion and place it on layer Z-ANNO-REVC.
Place revision symbols and notes, including those placed in each
drawings revision block, on the Z-ANNO-REVS layer.

Place a Record Drawing Stamp on each sheet, as illustrated below, for

maximum visibility without conflicting with other pertinent data. Place the
stamp on layer Z-ANNO-REVS. \2\ Provide the following information on
the revision block of Record Drawings:/2/

LETTER DATED
dd/mm/yy

Sheets with No Changes As-Built

o Sheets with revisions to match final field conditions As-Built

Type in the signatures, initials, dates and SAT-TO information, in the title
block area on the contract drawings, as text on the record drawings. The
record drawings are not signed again by the DOR. The record drawings
do not have to be sealed, and the seal from the DOR is not transferred.

Provide extra sheets as required to accommodate sketches, amendments,

and field changes. Obtain NAVFAC drawing numbers from the Design
Activity for all added sheets; these numbers will be out of sequence for
inserted sheets. Typically, use the previous sheet designation followed by
A, B, and so on for inserted sheets. Update the sheet index to reflect
the final record drawing titles, sheet numbers, and NAVFAC numbers.

Upon completion of the drawing modifications, save all drawing files

named as specified in this chapter.

NAVFAC ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS.

Federal legislation has established the legality and acceptability of electronic signatures
(\2\in accordance with /2/Public Law 106-229, Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act). NAVFAC requires the use of electronic signatures for the
certification of all drawings and specifications. The following sections outline the
requirements for electronic signatures on NAVFAC deliverables.
12-4.1

General Requirements.

Electronically sign the PDF of the specification coversheet (RFP coversheet for DB
\2\RFP Preparer/2/) and seal and sign each drawing PDF sheet, using Sign-it. If the
professional is required to submit wet-signed documents to be in compliance with their
state regulations, then a separate wet-signed drawing and specification set may be
submitted, meeting the requirements of paragraph Wet-Signed Documents. A fully
electronic solicitation, including electronic signatures is still required.
At a minimum, NAVFAC will sign the For Commander NAVFAC\2\ in the title block on
\2\each Drawing and on the coversheet of the Specifications/2/. This is required on final
designs including designs prepared under Design-Build contracts. Once the
Government Project Manager receives SATISFACTORY TO (SAT-TO) from the Client,
type Approved By [Name of Client Representative] via [media (such as email or fax)]
in the ACTIVITY field, and the date the SAT TO was received, in the DATE field. In
exception, if project requires Client signature for this field, the Client must sign the
package using Sign-It./2/ Type in the initials of the DES, DRW, and REV areas on
the border to indicate the individual(s) who designed, drafted, and checked the sheet,
respectively. These areas must display the responsible individuals initials in CAD text.
The REV initials CANNOT be the same as the DES and DRW initials. The

CHAPTER 13 PHASE: PREDESIGN SUBMITTALS
13-1

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

Pre-design consists of identifying the requirement and developing the project

documentation. The requirements may come from a variety of sources, i.e., new Navy
platforms, facilities planning data, or base realignment and closure. Project
documentation may involve multiple levels of approval. Projects are classified as minor
work, special projects or military construction. Each of these classifications has its own
authorization process.
Once the requirement has been identified, complete the Facility Planning Data and
initiate project development; select the best alternative to fulfill the requirement. This
may include renovation/modernization of an existing facility, new construction, leasing,
or a combination. Include other elements of the project documentation to include: the
1391 in Electronic Project Generator (EPG) format with detailed scope, collateral
equipment list and cost, preliminary budgetary cost information for primary facility and
supporting facilities (e.g., utilities, connections, site work), site location and approval,
NEPA documents (such as CATEX, EA, EIS, RONA, or RAC), SHPO (as required),
Economic Analysis, Facilities Planning Data including Basic Facilities Requirement, the
initial DD1354, and other project specific data. In the site approval process, include the
review of Land Use Plan and any possible site constraints. The constraint issues may
require unique design or construction elements and, therefore, the site should be fully
approved prior to initiating the project design.
13-2

SITE CONSTRAINTS.

Some constraints may restrict or prevent development on a selected site. If a site is

considered developable but restricted, project cost can increase significantly due to the
addition of design and construction elements needed to build on the site. Due to site
location or facility elements, some projects require other agency design approval
process (i.e., NOSSA, SHPO, and NEPA). These design reviews can be protracted.
13-3

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION.

Time required for the completion of environmental documentation varies and may be
developed in parallel to the design effort, but must be completed prior to award of
construction contract.
13-4

ADDITIONAL DATA.

Include other data in the project documentation such as site drawings and sketches, site
location, map of existing supporting facilities and site utilities, location of identified
constraints, diagrams and sketches that suggest the relationships among project
Functional Space Areas, adjacent or related projects, and existing facilities.

Drawing Changes and Sketches.

Use Table 18-2, Drawing Changes Format, as a guide in preparing changes to the
Drawings.
When drawings are revised and replaced, use a cloud to highlight the change. For
amendments, place a triangle with a sequential number in it, next to the cloud or the
item(s) changing for each sheet. For modifications, use a triangle with a sequential
letter instead of a number. Also provide this triangle with the number or the letter in the
revisions block. Under description, describe what the change is; listing the amendment
or contract modification number is not appropriate. Insert the date that the change was

GENERAL BID NOTES

Award will be made on the total sum of Contract Line Items 0001AA,
0001AB, and the sum of the extensions under CLIN 0001AC and 0001AD.
For CLIN 0001AC and 0001AD, enter unit prices and extended totals in
spaces provided. If there is a difference between a unit price and the
extended total, the unit price will be held to be the intended bid and
the total recomputed accordingly. If an Offeror provides a total but
fails to enter a unit price, the total divided by the specified
quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.
The Government reserves the unilateral right to award CLIN 0002 to the
Contractor at the proposed price within 30 calendar days after the
contract award. A firm fixed proposed price is required for CLIN 0001
and CLIN 0002. No provision is made for economic price adjustment. If
Options are exercised, the contract completion date remains 420 days
after award of the contract.

d.

Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990). Except when it is determined in

accordance with FAR 17.206 (b) not to be in the Government's best
interest, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by
adding the price for the Option(s) to the total price for the Bid Item
0001. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to
exercise the Option(s). (FAR 52.217-5).

e.

The Government may reject an offer as nonresponsive if it is materially

unbalanced as to prices for the basic requirement and the option
quantities. An offer is unbalanced when it is based on prices
significantly less than cost for some work and prices which are
significantly overstated for other work.

1.3

PLANNED MODIFICATION BID NOTES

These notes apply to Planned Modification CLINs.

a. The total estimate amount for FF&E has been identified to provide the
Offerors with the projected magnitude of effort for FF&E. The total
estimate amount for the Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E)
includes the actual cost of the FF&E including freight and installation
charges. The Government FF&E Estimate is only an estimated amount.
b. If awarded, line items will be funded separately after completion of
FF&E design package review, by the Government and receipt of
appropriate funding by the Government. Requirements and details are
provided in UFGS 01 30 01.00 20 DESIGN PROCUREMENT AND INSTALLATION OF
FURNITURE, FIXTURES, AND EQUIPMENT.
c. Bonding is not required for the design, procurement and installation of
FF&E.
d. Offerors may propose a Handling and Administration Rate (HAR) for the
FF&E not to exceed 5%. This fee will account for all administrative
costs, overhead, bonding fees, administration of subcontracts, profit,
and any other costs associated with and related to the coordination and
processing of the procurement and installation of FF&E. The proposed
HAR percentage will be incorporated into the contract award and will
not be adjusted regardless of fluctuations from the estimate amount for
the FF&E. The proposed HAR is a fixed rate.

item. Should the Government choose to award the Planned Modification,
the line item will be awarded as a negotiated modification to the
contract/task order. The contractor's proposed HAR will be applied to
all vendor/supplier costs for the FF&E.
f. If awarded, the FF&E modification will be awarded at least six months
prior to the contract completion date. A minimum of six months is
required for the Contractor to purchase, deliver and install the FF&E
without impacting the overall completion date of the project. The
Contractor's schedule must assume the award of the FF&E as a
modification. No schedule extensions will be granted if the
modification is awarded at least six months prior to the contract
completion date. If the Government decides to negotiate and award the
furniture modification with less than six months prior to the contact
completion date, the Contractor may be entitled to a contract extension
and extended field overhead. A contract extension and extended field
overhead will only be granted in those cases where the Contractor
demonstrates that an accepted Final FF&E package was submitted within
the approved schedule deadlines and sufficient lead time for the FF&E
is not available and the Government's award of the modification is in
the last six months of the contract.
