CHAPTER 4
RFP SPECIFICATIONS
4-1
INTRODUCTION. The UFGS should be edited to show all Government
preferences and should be included in the RFP document. It is important that the edited
UFGS are detailed enough so that the required construction quality is met and not
reduced with cost reduction efforts. Each project will have some variation that results in
the use of different UFGS sections.
4-2
DIVISION 01 SPECIFICATIONS. Division 01 UFGS that are unique to
airfield D-B projects are included in this document as Appendixes I, J, and K,
respectively:
Section 01010, Statement of Work for Airfield Design-Build
Section 01016, Detailed Technical Requirements for Airfield Design-
Build
Section 01018, Design After Award for Airfield Design-Build
Additional Division 01 specifications can be included in the RFP after editing standard
UFGS.
4-3
DIVISION 02 THROUGH 16 UFGS. The Division 02 through 16
specifications to be included in an RFP will vary to meet the requirements of each
project. These guide specifications provide various design preferences to be selected
by the specifier. Some preferences listed as optional in the UFGS are mandatory for
some airfield developments. A tabulation of construction preferences to be specified in
each UFGS used for airfield construction is included as Appendix D. The RFP preparer
should edit the appropriate UFGS in accordance with Appendix D to assure that
Government preferences will be included in the project. Include edited UFGS in the
RFP.
4-4
STATE SPECIFICATIONS. State specifications are not allowed as a basis
for material quality or construction practices for most airfield facilities. Only state
specifications listed as allowable in the RFP can be used by the D-B Contractor. The
RFP preparer may consider the use of a state specification for such items as airfield
shoulders, overrun pavements, roadways, and seeding. State specifications whose use
is allowed should be listed in the RFP. RFP preparers should list a state specification for
use only if there is a history of successful use of the specification at the project location.
Consult with USACE-TSC, Air Force MAJCOM, or Navy EFD before using any state
specifications.
