CHAPTER 2
PROJECT PLANNING
2-1
PROJECT INITIATION AND PLANNING. This UFC provides
information required for preparation of DD 1391, which initiates project
development. This includes information about functions, space allowances,
overall building size, site evaluation, and special factors to consider in developing
overall scope and cost estimates. It provides data and criteria needed at each
stage of NAVFACENGCOM planning, project engineering, and the design
process. Additional documentation may be provided in accordance with Chief of
Naval Operations (CNO) or Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) guidance.
2-1.1
Site Selection. Site selection is a key aspect of the initial project
work and requires thoughtful consideration. This is generally part of a
comprehensive planning process and must be completed prior to submission of a
military construction project. After site selection and approval, thorough site and
field investigations are performed.
2-1.2
Project Analysis and Engineering Phase. After a project is
initiated, it is analyzed and defined. During the project analysis stage, the project
team meets to define the project so as to have a clear understanding of the
project goals and objectives. The customer, major claimant, design agent, and
architect/engineer (A/E) team then develops project requirements based on an
analysis of unique customer needs and requirements, established criteria, and
site and environmental constraints. Information gathered provides the basis for
defining the preliminary design and supports the project engineering phase,
parametric cost estimating (PCE), and programming process. Information
required includes space planning, site design, selection of the appropriate plan,
and building design, elements and concepts found in this UFC. Unique local
requirements concerning building program and design criteria are included in the
PCE. Antiterrorism/Force Protection requirements are established as part of the
design program and are identified as a separate line item on the planning
documents.
2-2
project establishes the plan used to compose the design of the building. For
example: New Navy construction programmed for "permanent party" use would
adopt the "1+1E" Apartment plan as its basic design element, and Navy
construction programmed for "transient" use would adopt the 2+0 Room plan.
Note that bachelor housing facilities may have been constructed to one
assignment standard, but temporarily used for another assignment as critical
requirements demand.
The minimum assignment standards for Navy personnel are
described in DOD Manual 4165.63-M, DOD Housing Management
Manual, latest version.
