4-3.3 This initial conference sets the stage for the coming Data Gathering Conferences and Charettes.
4-4 SITE INVESTIGATION.
4-4.1 Drawings. Site Survey drawing(s) at 1:500 [approximately 1" = 40'] showing site boundaries;
existing utilities with their sizes; access roads; topographic survey with contours at a maximum spacing of
500 mm [or 2-foot] intervals (Design Districts are encouraged to utilize contours at 250 mm [or 1 foot]
intervals where appropriate for the selected site); existing structures; endangered wildlife; wetlands
boundaries; specific trees or groups of trees to be retained; areas set aside for future facilities; and the
locations of the preliminary soil borings. Installation Real Property Master Plan drawing(s) showing the
immediate area of the master plan, project site, surrounding area, primary circulation patterns through the
site, mandatory streets (when required), and any other data necessary for site development should be at
a smaller scale.
4-4.1 The technical portions of each solicitation should include a Site Analysis and Development Plan.
The preliminary identification of these material requirements and their availability should be addressed at
the Project Definition Conference.
4-4.3 Site Analysis.
4-4.3.1 Fixed-site boundaries should be indicated that provide the acreage of buildable land that will
result in a well developed TEMF. The acreage of buildable land should include provisions for building
setback lines, force protection considerations, and construction limits as well as any anticipated
expansion requirements.
4-4.3.2 Topography and the preliminary Geotechnical Report will be of such quality and quantity as to
permit proposers to prepare their proposals without the need for additional extensive site investigations.
Investigations shall be performed to a level which assures adequate information to determine the general
type of structure best suited to the site conditions and sufficient to ascertain the costs of the project.
4-4.3.3 Mandatory site planning considerations, such as access to future project sites and any required
utility stub-outs and sizing should be determined and indicated as requirements in the STATEMENT OF
WORK.
4-4.3.4 Utilities and Energy Studies. Utilities, fuel selection, and energy conservation studies should also
be completed under the Code 1 Design Directive.
4-4.3.5 Documented site opportunities and constraints.
4-5 CODE 1 ACTIVITIES MATRIX.
4-5.1 AR 415-15 (reference 4-3) code 1 allows "site investigation work, preparation of pre-design cost
estimate, and other pre-design work to the extent defined by special instructions of individual directives.
Selection and negotiation (not award) of an architect-engineer (A-E) contract for design is also
authorized. The AR has a complete section (para 5-6) that lists what is expected. The PM will ensure
that the following activities are accomplished:
