CHAPTER 2
REQUIREMENTS
2-1
ORGANIZATION. Compliance with the guidance provided in this document
will make the task of preparing UFGS easier and will result in UFGS which will be
compatible with others in the system. A template is included in SpecsIntact which shall
be used as a starting point for preparing UFGS or project specification sections for work
not covered by guide specifications
2-1.1
Construction Specifications Institute (CSI). CSI recommends the use of
three parts in each section, and further recommends that a consistent sequence of
subject matter be maintained within each part. These recommendations are included in
Appendix A and should be followed to the extent practical in UFGS
2-1.2
Table of Contents. A table of contents for a section can be generated
automatically as part of the SpecsIntact print process
2-1.3
Appendixes. Appendixes to a UFGS section can be used, but they are
rarely necessary. When used, the appendix should be separate from the text file and
added manually in the final electronic file for the project.
2-1.4
Figures. Figures are not provided as part of UFGS sections. When required
as part of a project specification, figures must be added manually in the final electronic
file.
2-2
FORMAT.
2-2.1
Electronic File Format. Use of SpecsIntact software and the SpecsIntact
section template in the development of UFGS are mandatory and will assure that page
layout, banners, notes, text paragraphs, tables, fonts, page numbers, headers, and
other basic elements of a UFGS are consistent within each UFGS document and within
the UFGS system. SpecsIntact files are SGML format with the extension SEC.
SpecsIntact will also publish UFGS in Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word formats
with the extension PDF and DOC, respectively. The most current versions of the UFGS
are available on the Internet in both PDF and SEC formats. Additionally, the entire
UFGS Master, in SEC format, is available on the Internet in a zipped file with the
extension ZIP.
2-2.2
identifying document number in accordance with the CSI MasterFormat. Part and
subparts (paragraph and subparagraphs) within the UFGS shall be numbered in
