5-2.1
Regional Guide Specifications.
Regional specifications are limited in number and scope to selected subjects such as
summary of work and contain a majority of local requirements. Regional specifications
are used in the same way as the UFGS except that they are used only in the area of the
specific facility engineering command jurisdiction. Regional specifications are always
numbered the same as the UFGS that has been used as a basis for the regional
specification. A capital letter representing the facility engineering command precedes
the specification number (e.g., UFGS-S-07516, Aggregate Surfaced Coal Tar Built-Up
Roofing, Southern Division, or UFGS-L-02471, Bituminous Concrete Pavement, Atlantic
Division).
5-2.2
Performance Technical Specifications.
Performance Technical Specification (PTS) sections define the performance and quality
of the building elements that are required by the Design-Build Project Program. PTS
are available from the Design Build Master web site (http://www.wbdg.org/ndbm.) The
performance technical sections are arranged by the Uniformat II/WBS building element
classification system and tie directly to the numbering system used in the Project
Program. For example, the Room Requirements Section of a Project Program may
require for building element D201001 that two handicap water closets be provided in
each of the bathrooms in the lobby of a building. The corresponding paragraph
D201001 in Performance Technical Section D20 would define the performance
requirements for that water closet. As with the UFGS, the PTS are editable by the RFP
preparer to reflect the characteristics of a particular project.
5-2.3
Other Guide Specifications.
The use of other guide specifications (e.g. MASTERSPEC) and other means of
specification are allowed on Design-Build projects for the creation of a complete project
specification. The specifications used must specifically state compliance with the
requirements of the RFP by using the same reference standards as used in the design-
build performance technical specifications and the UFGS section utilized. Refer to the
Design-Build RFP for direction on preparing design-build project specifications. On
design-bid-build projects, other guide specifications are only allowed as a basis for
information not available in the UFGS. These developed specifications must be in CSI
MasterFormat for inclusion in the project specifications.
