design or before an IDQ contract delivery order is issued (if applicable).
(2) Survey Information. Prior to the initiation of detailed project development, the
geographic district design team/A-E should meet with the installation at the project site to
conduct a joint site survey. This survey should include, but not be limited to:
(a) Identifying the installation unit/building (s).
(b) Determining the installations' requirements and expectations, and including these in
the survey.
(c) Clarifying the site specific requirements and services, special products and/or
design requirements, a thorough review of the DD Form 1391 and, if applicable to the type of
project, DA Form 4283, type of funds required, verifying approval limits, obtaining as-
built/record drawings and documents, and other planning data. The DD Form 1391 must reflect
site specific requirements.
(d) Determining the extent of investigation required, a deficiency tabulation, special
technical problems (such as structural damage), seismic requirements, adequacy of utilities, fire
protection deficiencies, corrosion, extent of modifications to electrical, communications, Energy
Monitoring and Control System (EMCS), plumbing and HVAC systems.
(e) Determining the requirement for a security survey. Coordination with the
installation security officer to assure that all physical and electronic security, and anti-terrorism
concerns are incorporated.
(f) Resolving engineering environmental issues such as the presence of lead base paint
or friable and non-friable asbestos, contaminated soil, extent of environmental surveys required,
and the need for infrared, x-ray or other types of surveys of roofs, if applicable. Note: Designers
should research documentation of recent surveys by the installation (if available) or perform the
survey as part of the their scope.
(g) Determining the project costs including the design effort required and costs, and an
estimate of the construction costs.
(3) Importance of the Survey. Early planning and coordination between the design team
and the installation are important to reduce costs so that the OACSIM and the installation are
provided a satisfactory product. For maintenance and repair projects, major design modifications
are often required late in project development because poor initial site investigations do not reflect
the true conditions of existing structures. Removal work by the building contractor often results
