2.2.1.3 Codes, Regulations and Utility Requirements
2.2.1.3.1 The Using Service has identified UFC 1-200-01. Design:
General Building Requirements, as guidance for the use of model
building codes for design and construction of Army Reserve
Facilities. This UFC references the International Building Code
(IBC) 2000 as the basis for building design. The UFC contains
specific instructions regarding application of IBC chapters, and for
fire protection and life safety requirements refer to UFC 3-600-01;
"Design: Fire Protection Engineering For Facilities". UFC 3-600-01
Figure 2.2
governs fire protection requirements and includes National Fire
USARC, Green Bay,
Codes and other specific NFPA criteria, such as NFPA-101, the
Wisconsin
Life Safety Code for exiting requirements and NFPA 88B - Repair
Garages (for maintenance shops).
2.2.1.3.2 For facilities not located on federal miliary installations,
the Design Agency must identify local (state, county, city, etc.)
codes, regulations, and utility requirements which would be
applicable to a typical building project at the site, and determine
their applicability to the USAR project. The criteria identified in
paragraph 2.2.1.3. generally takes precedence over local code
requirements unless local code requirements are more stringent.
2.2.1.3.2.1 If the project site is owned by the Federal Government,
it may be a "Federal reservation," and compliance with all local
codes and regulations is not necessarily required under the Doctrine
of Supremecy.. However, USAR strives to be a "good neighbor" in
the communities of its citizen soldiers, and prefers to comply with
local codes and regulations, unless such compliance would be
particularly onerous or costly or reduce the level of safety within this
facility. Using Service encourages the Design Agency to meet with
local code and regulatory
officials to review the project and the local requirements, and to
present any recommendations for non-compliance with local
regulations to the Using Service for resolution.
