(1) Group I. Design-Build (Turnkey). Certain specialty items that
are not normally within the design expertise of the Architect/ Engineer may be
procured under a turnkey contract. Such items would be described as art or as
artifact, where the designer is the fabricator and installer, and where
competition based on price is impossible or irrational. The contractor may be
selected in either of two methods: Advertisement may be made seeking qualified
people or firms with whom an agreement can be negotiated (as in the selection
of the Architect/ Engineer); or a contractor with particular qualifications
may be selected directly. In either instance the appropriate Contracting
Officer of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. and appropriate personnel
from the Chief of Chaplains' staff, advised by the Architect/ Engineer, should
be involved in the selection of the contractor. The same concern for the
quality of art and artifact that is invested in similar civilian facilities is
appropriate in naval facilities. Examples of Items in this group are:
Stained glass
Pipe organs
All commissioned artwork and artifacts including statuary,
paintings, metalwork, fabrics, glass, ceramics, etc.
(2) Group II. Built in Equipment, (Category A). These items are
designed or specified as part of the Architect/Engineer contracts. are funded
by MCON and are furnished by the construction contractor. The general rule,
stated in NAVFACINST 11010.14. is that any item that is permanently installed
or has permanent utility connections may fall in this category. Normally three
sources are designated. Sole-source procurement requires authorization. The
following items are included in Category A:
Bulletin boards and signs
Carillon
Closed circuit television system
Fixed screen for direct projection and fixed projectors
Flood and spot lighting instrument
Kitchen casework and fixed equipment
