PLANNING GUIDELINES
DG 1110-3-112 May 1979
2-6 RELATED FURNISHINGS AND EQUIPMENT
a. COORDINATING REQUIREMENTS. Principal items of furnishings and equipment are listed in
Chapter 4 under each individual space, generally on the figures showing space layout. Furniture and
equipment that are portable or detached from the structure must be furnished by the installation. These
items will be funded from some other appropriation than construction, and such must be carefully
coordinated to insure availability of furnishings and equipment when required. All related furnishings
and equipment needs must be identified in conjunction with Planning the building in order to develop a
totally integrated and useful facility; and in order to program funds and provide information on delivery
schedules in relation to construction. In preparing DD Form 1391, plans for related furnishings and
equipment must be described in the detailed justifications.
b. ESTIMATING FURNISHINGS AND EQUIPMENT COSTS. Items "on hand" meeting furnishings
and equipment requirements should be listed separately from items that must be procured. Sources
for selection of furnishings and equipment to be procured, are provided in the GSA Federal Supply
Schedules, the Federal Prison Industries Schedule of Products and the general GSA supply catalog.
These sources are mandatory, insofar as they meet requirements, and cost estimates should be based
on prices therein escalated to time of actual procurement to meet the established delivery schedule.
Quality factors relevant to the selection of furnishings are discussed in Chapter 3, para 3-5. The
following list indicates typical items of equipment and furnishings that should be considered.
Audio-visual equipment, TV systems
