THE TACTICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FACILITY (TEMF) PROGRAM.
This document addresses requirements for the MCA TEMF program.
1-3.1 Military Construction Program. Construction may be accomplished either by design-build methods
or by conventional design-bid-build methods. Either methodology should result in a firm-fixed-price
contract for the construction of the new facilities. Design-Build methodology is considered the preferred
methodology for this program, however, if the Design-Construct Agent can provide ample supporting
documentation that the design-build methodology is not suitable for a particular project, that information
shall be forwarded through the appropriate Division Office for concurrence and consideration by HQ
USACE.
1-3.2 Host Nation. Various host nations provide facilities to support the United States military presence
in that country. When the host nation provides facilities, they will be constructed to the standards
expressed in the SOW to the maximum extent practical.
1-3.2.1 Adjustments may be made to accommodate local conditions (i.e., vehicle parking, utility systems
requirements) so long as they do not exceed the standards for normal United States military construction.
To the extent practical, program management and design reviews will be accomplished at the local level
in order to avoid delays to the host country's schedules. Architectural design will be sensitive to local
aesthetic tastes.
1-3.2.2 Local building codes and standards may be used, except that United States life safety and fire
protection standards will not be waived or otherwise compromised. Security fencing and lighting
standards will be commensurate with the need. When the lawful or "normal construction practice" of the
host country will not allow provision of certain amenities, such as air conditioning, supplemental funds
may be programmed for timely completion of the additional work. Particular attention should be given to
the local practice of long-term facility maintenance, which may differ from United States standards.
Provisions will be made for the selection of materials and finishes that can be easily maintained.
1-3.2.3 Force Protection Measures. Force protection measures cannot be waived or reduced in any
manner. Force protection requirements are mandatory.

LEGAL BASIS
1.4.1 FAR 36.3 (Reference 1-2) authorizes the use of the two-phase design-build process for military
construction projects. Procedures for developing design-build projects are contained in ER 1180-1-9
(reference 1-4); CEMP-EA Memorandum, 25 August 1995, Delegation of Design Build Approval
Authority; Design-Build Instructions (DBI) For Military Construction (reference 1-5), and Technical
Requirements for Design-Build TI 800-03 (reference 1-6).
