3.10.1 General
3.10.1.1 The primary goal of electrical systems design should be to
provide a safe, reliable, flexible, economical, comfortable and energy
efficient facility.
3.10.1.2 The project design should include power distribution, interior
and exterior lighting, exit and egress lighting, fire alarm system, fire
alarm signal transmitters, security system, arms vault intrusion detection
system, public address system, cathodic protection, lightning
protection, open office furniture wiring, kitchen equipment wiring,
elevator equipment wiring, and telecommunication system.
3.10.1.3 Electrical and communication design must be closely
coordinated with furniture design; this is especially true for the open
office workstations. The workstations will be furnished and installed by
the Government, but the construction contractor will be responsible for
wiring them once they are installed. Close coordination should reduce
the conflict inherent in this situation.
3.10.1.4 The design and construction of the electrical systems should
be in compliance with the latest NFPA-70-National Electrical Code,
NFPA-101- Life Safety Code, IES Lighting Reference Guide and
Application Guide, EIA/TIA 568A and 569, and MIL HDBK 1012/3
standards.
3.10.1.5 The materials should be specified in accordance with the
standards above. The specifications should include testing and
commissioning of all electrical systems.
3.10.1.6 The designer should prepare lighting calculations, electrical
load calculations, electrical short circuit and protective device
coordination analysis and calculations. The short circuit and protective
device coordination analysis should be done using industry standard
computer software and the reports should be furnished for Government
review.
3.10.2 Exterior Electrical Systems
3.10.2.1 The main electric power service will be obtained from the
local power company or the Government installation.
