3.2.2.2.6 Coordinate with the water utility to determine meter
type and installation.
3.2.2.3 Natural Gas
Figure 3-3
3.2.2.3.1 The gas utilities consist of the internal gas distribution
USARC, Camp
and service pipes and controls servicing the site from the
Parks, California
building(s) to the gas utility connection point. The gas utility
service industry is competitive in certain service location areas
and more than one source of service may be available.
3.2.2.3.2 Gas companies normally provide some amount of
service line and meter set at no charge, especially when the
projected volume of gas use and resultant utility charges will
justify the expenditure. Furnish estimated gas service
requirements to the utility and request they examine the
construction requirements and demand of the site to make a
cost determination for any construction of service for the site. If
longer on-site service lines are required, verify whether they are
to be constructed by the utility or as part of the construction
contract, and ensure that any charges to be paid to the utility are
included in the contractor's requirements.
3.2.2.3.3 Many of the Government installation gas systems have
been privatized; service and connection procedures are
normally the same as the commercial market.
3.2.2.4 Other Utilities
3.2.2.4.1 Projects on Government installations may have access
to a district heating system.
3.2.2.4.2 See Section 3.10 below for telecommunications and
electric utilities.
3.2.3 Roads and Pavements
3.2.3.1 Pavement Types
3.2.3.1.1 The primary pavements and surfacings for AR sites
are asphalt concrete (AC or bituminous), Portland cement
concrete (PCC), and aggregate. AC is normally used for POV
and MEP areas. In most areas, AC will be cheaper than PCC;
however, some areas may have supply or quality control issues
that favor PCC; this should be investigated for each site.
