3.2.5.3 Vehicle gates may be swinging or rolling, based on Tenant
preference, but rolling gates must maintain the maximum height above
ground. It may be necessary to incorporate a "speed bump" at the
gate in order to ensure the bottom of the gate does not exceed the
maximum height above the paving. Powered gates are not normally
provided.
3.2.5.4 Fences must be electrically grounded.
3.2.6 Wash Bays
3.2.6.1 Wash bays for military equipment may be authorized in the
project documents, or requested by the Tenants for ACSIM-AR
approval.
3.2.6.2 In northern locations, wash bays will normally be located
within an OMS, AMSA, or DS/GS building. No additional bays will
be authorized due to cost, so one or more bays must be able to be
separated from the others with retractable curtains. Provide
wetservice electrical systems in such bays.
3.2.6.3 In warmer climates, wash bays will normally be exterior to the
maintenance building. In such cases, the designer must address
collection/treatment of gray water and prevention of stormwater entry
to sanitary sewers. A roofed structure or control valve system should
be considered.
3.2.6.4 A concrete pad will be provided at exterior wash bays, and
containment curbs or depression of the slab should be provided to
control gray water. All electrical systems should be designed for wet
service.
3.2.6.5 The designer should verify whether any package pressure or
heating wash system will be Tenant-supplied or a part of the
construction contract. If such a system is portable, it will be necessary
to provide sufficient storage space to accommodate it in the
Figure 3-5
maintenance shop. The designer will verify that sufficient power is
USARC,
provided for such systems.

3.2.6.6 Consideration should be given to recycling of gray water,
possibly with a package system. Cost, sustainable design goals, and
water availability will be factors in the consideration. If provided, a
heated building for the equipment will be provided where climate
requires.
