The technical requirements are comprised of UNIFORMAT II (a uniform classification of construction systems and assemblies) specifications with performance and quality requirements specific to the project. NPS DSC Design Standards () be incorporated. To the maximum extent possible, the use of prescriptive specifications should be avoided or minimized unless it is necessary for technical coordination with the parks, other physical plant systems, or integration into existing maintenance and repair procedures. Prescriptive specifications have the effect of moving design responsibility for the specific building system from the Design-Build Contractor to the Government. The end product should be a complete and well-coordinated set that references requirements covered in 1, 2, and 3 of the RFP. The requirements shall be organized in accordance with ASTM E1557 (proprietary systems such as Speclink or others are acceptable) as follows: A Substructure A10 Foundations – A20 Basement Construction – B B10 Superstructure – B20 Exterior Enclosure – B30 Roofing – C Interiors C10 Interior Construction – C20 Stairs – C30 Interior finishes – D Facility Services D10 Conveying – D20 Plumbing – D30 HVAC – D40 Fire Protection – D50 Electrical – E Equipment and Furnishings E10 Equipment – E20 Furnishings – F Hazardous Waste Remediation F10 Special Construction – F20 Selective Building Demolition –
