C -- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON THE AVAILABILITY OF COMMERCIAL ENGINEERING AND DESIGN STANDARDS FOR THE SHORE INFRASTRUCTURE SOL SYNOPSIS E16-97 DUE 082197 POC Point of Contact -- Bayla L. Mack, 757-322-8271 -- Karla H. McGrath, Head, Contract Support Branch, 757-322-8270 E-MAIL: Architect-Engineer, mackbl@efdlant.navfac.navy.mil. In order that potential sources may learn of the interest in a specific requirement, advance notice is published here. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) will be adopting commercial engineering and design standards in selected areas for the shore infrastructure. Information is requested on the availability of commercial standards to replace the following Military Design Manuals and Handbooks: MIL-HDBK 1023/1, Airfield Lighting; MIL-HDBK 1012/1, Electronics Facilities Engineering; DM 26.1, Harbors; DM 26.3, Coastal Sedimentation; DM 21.9, Skid Resistant Runway Surfaces; MIL-HDBK 1025/4, Seawalls, Bulkheads and Quaywalls; DM 21.6, Airfield Pavement Design for Frost and Subsurface Drainage; MIL-HDBK 1003/13, Solar Heating of Buildings and Hot Water; MIL-HDBK 1005/7, Water Supply Systems; DM 5.10, Solid Waste Disposal; MIL-HDBK 1004/4, Electrical Utilization Systems; MIL-HDBK 1005/13, Hazardous Waste Storage Facilities; DM 5.4, civil Engineering Pavements; DM 3.9, Elevators, Escalators, Dumbwaiters, Access Lifts and Pneumatic Tube Systems; MIL-HDBK 1004/10, Cathodic Protection; MIL-HDBK 1037/3, Outdoor Sports and Recreational Facilities; MIL-HDBK 1001/5, Roofing and Waterproofing; MIL-HDBK 1004/6, Lightning Protection; DM 3.10, Noise and Vibration Control for Mechanical Equipment; MIL-HDBK 1195, Radio Frequency Shielded Enclosures; MIL-HDBK 1005/6, Civil Engineering-Trackage; DM 13.2, Commercial Intrusion Detection Systems; MIL-HDBK 1013/8, Combination Locks; MIL-HDBK 1003/12, Boiler Controls; DM 3.4, Refrigeration Systems for Cold Storage; MIL-HDBK 1003/11, Diesel Electric Generating Plants; MIL-HDBK 1021/2, General Concepts for Airfield Pavement Design; MIL-HDBK 1021/4, Rigid Pavement Design for Airfields; MIL-HDBK 1003/8A, Exterior Distribution of Utility Steam, High Temperature Water, Chilled Water, Natural Gas and Compressed Air; DM 2.4, Structural Engineering-Concrete Structures; DM 2.9, Masonry; MIL-HDBK 1002/1, Structural Engineering-General Requirements; MIL-HDBK 1002/2, Structural Engineering-Loads; MIL-HDBK 1002/3, Structural Engineering-Steel Structures; MIL-HDBK 1002/5, Timber Structures; and MIL-HDBK 1002/6, Aluminum Structures, Composite Structures, Structural Plastics, and Fiber-Reinforced Composites. Criteria is also requested for the design of vehicle parking areas and military training and recreational pools. All of the listed military documents are available on the National Institute of Building Sciences Construction Criteria Base (CCB) CD-ROM and the Internet through subscription. Proposed commercial engineering and design standards for adoption will be evaluated on the following factors: (1) Content: covers topics in the military document, presents a logical organization and flow of major topics and subtopics, focuses on design criteria and practice and is not overly academic or theoretical in nature, addresses regulatory requirements, addresses current design practice and technologies, contains information pertinent to military facilities and design practices, contains graphs,tables and figures to clearly and readily convey design information and contains a practical style and vocabulary used in presenting the information; (2) Usefulness as a Design Tool: provides in-depth focused design criteria and guidance as opposed to generalized information and discussion, contains a user friendly index, extent to which the information addresses the target designers, covers the range and size of facilities found in the military infrastructure and likelihood the standard will be updated regularly; (3) Universality: developed and maintained by a consensus group or consortium of technical experts in a particular discipline, degree of usage and reference by design professionals and regulatory agencies and applicability in all geographic areas; and (4) Availability: cost to purchase, cost to develop updated material and likelihood of issuance of standard on a CD-ROM or inclusion of standard on the Construction Criteria Base (CCB). This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is notto be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for any information solicited. Firms which meet the requirements described in this announcement are invited to submit a letter of interest to the office shown above. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Closing date for submission of response is 4:00 p.m. EST, 21 August 1997. Late responses will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.215-10. Neither hand carried letters nor facsimile responses will be accepted. In responding reference SYNOPSIS E16-97. (0198)
