Annex B, AEI for BUP
First Edition
in numerous unforeseen site conditions not shown on as-built/record drawings. One way to
reduce redesign costs and additional construction costs is to perform a thorough visual site
investigation and deficiency tabulation with photographs using digital cameras (See AEI,
Installation Support).
4. DESIGN QUALITY ASSURANCE.
a. Mandatory Requirements. Design agencies preparing BUP contract documents are
responsible for ensuring that the quality and details of the documents meet the customers' needs
and all applicable Public Laws, Executive Orders, FAR, DFARS, AFARS, EFARS, CFR, DoD
directives and instructions, Army regulations, and fire and life safety codes. Using the AEI,
Design Criteria, the Corps of Engineers Guide Specifications (CEGS), and the Corps of
Engineers Abridged Guide Specifications (CEAGS) facilitates compliance with all mandatory
requirements. For LBC&W or BB&A barracks, the CESWF generic design packages are
mandatory for use.
b. Simplicity and Quality. Simplicity and quality must be achieved for each project.
However, design agencies are cautioned that over-simplification of contract documents can result
in the omission of important details that could increase the cost and the amount of change orders
during contract administration. An incorrect project construction SOW (e.g., over or under
scope) can also increase the cost and the amount of contract modifications during contract
administration.
5. PROCEDURES FOR USING A BUP GENERIC STANDARD DESIGN PACKAGE.
a. Initial Site Adaption. The geographic district administering the project design, to the
extent allowed by the BUP generic standard design package (LBC&W or BB&A barracks), will
tailor the generic standard design to specific requirements of the project. This may include
adapting the BUP generic standard design for the appropriate size or scope (as programmed on
the DD Form 1391), site design and engineering, and selecting the appropriate options allowed in
the BUP generic standard design package to address local conditions. Such options may include
structural, environmental, design selection of VAV or fan coil HVAC systems, and the
architectural theme. Material selections, climatic requirements, and other project specific features
may also have to be addressed. If the geographic district administering the project design requires
any clarifications or assistance concerning the generic standard design package, Mr. Wayne
McDonald, CESWF-ED-MR, (817) 978-2240, fax (817) 978-3348, U.S. Army Engineer (USEA)
District, Fort Worth, P.O. Box 17300, Fort Worth, TX 76102-0300, should be contacted.
