the concept design may be the layout and functional drawings and design that are part
of a technical response to a Design-Build RFP.
3-4.1.1
Function Analysis Concept Development (FACD) Studies.
FACD studies and design charettes are cooperative efforts by the design team,
user/customer representatives, facility engineering command personnel, and other
interested parties. They may last a week or two and include on-site development of a
conceptual design in response to functional, aesthetic, environmental, base planning,
site, budgetary, and other requirements. The scope of FACDs and design charettes are
project specific and will be defined in the A/E Scope of Work or the Design-Build RFP.
The following defines the efforts typically associated with a FACD study:
3-4.1.1.1
Specialized Customer Coordination: Coordination with the respective
offices for the following types of facilities should be done as early as possible, but no
later than the FACD phase.
Fitting Out & Supply Support Assistance Center (FOSSAC): Navy's office
for technical and operational matters regarding supply and warehouse
facilities including material handling and storage systems and related
equipment. FOSSAC Code 062, (804) 444-4370.
Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS): Navy's office for technical and
operational matters regarding Moral, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR)
Facilities. BUPERS can provide standard modular designs for many
MWR facilities. BUPERS Code PERS 656D, (901) 874-661.
Navy Food Service Systems Office (NAVFSSO): Navy's office for
technical and operational matters on dining facility operations. NAVFSSO
Code E2, (202) 433-0713.
Medical Facilities Design Office (MFDO): NAVFAC's office for technical
and operational matters on hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities.
MFDO coordinates with Navy bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED)
and the Department of Defense Medical Facilities Design Office (DMFO).
MFDO Director (202) 685-3254.
3-4.1.1.2
On-Site Analysis: Conduct an on-site project analysis conference at the
activity to systematically define the project. The preparatory effort will include all
preliminary field and office work including: agenda, questionnaires, special studies,
surveys, code research, analysis of existing field conditions, building evaluations, visits
to similar facilities, and preliminary graphical presentation material on data collected.
Prepare and distribute a User Questionnaire intended to obtain quantitative and
descriptive information and criteria from the facility users necessary to complete the
design of the project. Include questions pertaining to staffing, adjacencies,
relationships, power requirements, heat load, and other special requirements.
3-4.1.1.3
Objective: A comprehensive look at project requirements is necessary to
define and organize program elements and design features before beginning the
schematic design. The intent is to enhance communications among team members; to
