MIL-HDBK-1005/9A
FOREWORD
This handbook has been developed from an evaluation of facilities in
the shore establishment, from surveys of the availability of new
materials and construction methods, and from selection of the best
design practices of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command
(NAVFACENGCOM), other Government agencies, and the private sector.
This handbook was prepared using, to the maximum extent feasible,
national professional society, association, and institute standards.
Deviations from this criteria, in the planning, engineering, design,
and construction of Naval shore facilities, cannot be made without
prior approval of NAVFACENGCOM Code 15C.
Design cannot remain static any more than can the function it serves
or the technologies it uses. Accordingly, recommendations for
improvement are encouraged and should be furnished to Commander,
Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Naval Engineering Command
Headquarters, Code 15C, 1510 Gilbert Street, Norfolk, VA 23511-2699;
telephone commercial (757)322-4210, facsimile machine (757)322-4416.
DO NOT USE THIS HANDBOOK AS A REFERENCE IN A PROCUREMENT DOCUMENT
FOR FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION. USE IT IN THE PURCHASE AND PREPARATION
OF FACILITIES PLANNING AND ENGINEERING STUDIES AND DESIGN DOCUMENTS
USED FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION (SCOPE, BASIS OF
DESIGN, TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS, PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, COST
ESTIMATES, REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, AND INVITATION FOR BIDS). DO NOT
REFERENCE IT IN MILITARY OR FEDERAL SPECIFICATIONS OR OTHER
PROCUREMENT DOCUMENTS.
