8、will make the task of preparing UFGS easier and will result in UFGS that are compatible with others in the system. SpecsIntact includes a template (found under “Tools“ on the main toolbar) that can be used as a starting point for preparing UFGS and as a pattern for project specification sections for
9、 work not covered by guide specifications. 2-1.1 Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) CSI recommends the use of three parts in each section, and further recommends that a consistent sequence of subject matter be maintained within each part. These recommendations are included in Appendix A and
10、 should be followed to the extent practical in UFGS. 2-1.2 Table of Contents A table of contents for a section can be generated automatically as part of the SpecsIntact print process. 2-1.3 Appendixes Appendices to a UFGS section can be used, but they are rarely necessary. 2 An appendix may be a sep
11、arate text file and added manually in the final electronic file for the project or it may be created in 4SpecsIntact/4/ as part of a section. /2/ 2-1.4 Figures Figures are not provided as part of UFGS sections. When required as part of a project specification, figures must be added manually to the f
12、inal electronic file. 2-2 FORMAT 2-2.1 Electronic File Format Use of SpecsIntact software and the SpecsIntact section template in the development of UFGS are mandatory and will assure that page layout, banners, notes, text paragraphs, tables, fonts, page numbers, headers, and other basic elements of
13、 a UFGS are consistent within each UFGS document and within the UFGS system. SpecsIntact files are 4Extensible Markup Language (XML)/4/ format with the extension SEC. SpecsIntact will also publish UFGS in Adobe Acrobat (PDF extension) and Microsoft Word (DOC extension) formats. SpecsIntact can be do
14、wnloaded from the SpecsIntact web site (http:/specsintact.ksc.nasa.gov/Index.asp), and the SpecsIntact Quick Start Guide provides instructions for its use.

15、2006 4 The most current versions of the UFGS are available on the Internet in both PDF and SEC formats from the Whole Building Design Guide DOD web page (http:/dod.wbdg.org/.) Additionally, the entire UFGS Master, in SEC format, is available on the Internet in a zipped file with the extension ZIP. 2
16、-2.2 Section, Part, and Subpart Numbering Each UFGS carries an identifying document number in accordance with the CSI MasterFormat. Part and subparts (paragraph and subparagraphs) within the UFGS are numbered in accordance with the SpecsIntact number-period system. Each part and subpart down to the
17、fourth level 4is/4/ numbered. 2-2.3 Subpart Titles Each numbered subpart must have a title; uppercase for the first subpart (level one) and title case for the second and third level subparts. 2-2.4 Units of Measure (English)(Metric) SpecsIntact allows tailoring of the project specifications with eit
18、her English or Metric units of measure. Metric units can be hard or soft. Use hard metric for measurements when products are available in metric units or for direct field measurements, e.g., 50mm. Use soft metric for measurements when the products are not available in metric units. Soft metric is de
19、signated in metric projects with the governing English unit of measure in parenthesis following the metric approximate unit, e.g., 50mm (2 inch). 2-2.5 Reference Publications All references used in the UFGS are listed in the paragraph entitled “REFERENCES“. Standards producing organizations cited in
20、 the paragraph must be identified with the acronym used by the organization or given an appropriate acronym if none has been assigned by the organization. 4If there are conflicting acronyms, the acronym posted on the Information Handling System (IHS) will be used. Where dual acronyms may be used to
21、identify the standards producing organization and an underwriting organization, such as ANSI/IEEE, use the issuing organization only, IEEE in this case. /4/In the UFGS, the reference identifier (RID) for the reference must appear and be tagged in the reference paragraph and at all occurrences in the
22、 text using the SpecsIntact software. 4The RID shall consist of the organization acronym and publication number as posted in IHS. /4/Use the most current reference standard in the UFGS unless specific reason exists to cite an earlier version of the standard. 4The reference title shall consist of the
23、 year of publication in parenthesis followed by the title as it is listed in IHS. When the reference includes revisions (R), editions, errata (e), etc., a semi-colon will separate the original date from the latest subsequent date of change. /4/Use the Unified Master Reference List (UMRL) in conjunct
24、ion with the SpecsIntact software to automatically update the standards referenced in the UFGS. Use private-sector reference standards to the maximum extent possible. This provides common commercial specifications for products and their installation, and reduces the written text in the body of the U
25、FGS. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-UFC 1-300-02 September 2004 Change 4 December 2006 5 Avoid referencing a standard and then quoting or repeating portions of the standard in the text of the guide specifications unless it is necessa
26、ry to repeat a small portion of the standard to improve clarity and readability. 2-2.6 Cross References Avoid cross-referencing other specification sections and paragraphs in other sections or paragraphs in the same section. When a section cross-reference is necessary, the format is 2 Section 401 23
27、 40/4/ MISCELLANEOUS. /2/ When necessary to reference paragraphs within the same section, reference by paragraph title, not by paragraph number, e.g., paragraph EQUIPMENT. 2-2.7 Brackets Use brackets for choices of two or more items and for blanks requiring designer input. In addition, brackets may
28、be used to identify text that may not be applicable to all projects; for example, regional requirements, agency requirements, or non-standard technical requirements. Unless the bracketed choices are obvious, provide a designers note to assist in the editing of the bracketed items. 2 Where brackets a
29、re used around blank spaces to indicate wording to be provided by designer, five under scribed characters should be used inside the brackets. /2/ 2-2.8 Tailoring Options Tailoring options may be used in the UFGS to allow pre-editing of information such as materials, methods, and agency or regional r
30、equirements in the creation of the project specification. Agency differences should be reconciled to avoid the need for tailoring options to the greatest extent possible. 2-2.9 Submittal Items 2-2.9.1 Submittal Item Descriptions 4Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES contains general requirements fo
31、r each submittal description number, e.g. SD-01, SD-02. UFGS authors must compare the requirements of each submittal item in a technical section to the descriptions provided in Section 01 33 00 and only specify the submittal requirements that are in addition to those specified in Section 01 33 00./4
32、/ 2-2.9.2 Submittal Items Tagged in the Specification Text Each submittal item listed in the SUBMITTALS paragraph of the UFGS must also appear in one principal subpart of the specification other than the SUBMITTALS paragraph exactly as listed in the SUBMITTALS paragraph, and must be appropriately ta
33、gged using the SpecsIntact software. Take care to assure the submittal item tagged in the text reflects the requirements to be verified by that submittal item.

34、ber 2006 6 2-2.9.3 Government Approvals of Submittals When a “G“ follows a submittal item, it indicates Government approval is required for that item. Use a “G“ in submittal tags for items deemed sufficiently critical, complex, or aesthetically significant to merit approval by the Government. Submit
35、tal items not designated with a “G“ are for information only or approved by the Contractor QC organization, depending on terminology used by the agency. The following examples show the two acceptable formats for submittals items in the UFGS, one with a G and one without. 4 Fire Hydrants; G; G, AEAO
36、DORO /4/ or Fire Hydrants 2-2.9.4 SD-10, Operation and Maintenance Manuals 4Section 01 78 23 OPERATION AND MANTENANCE DATA contains specific requirements for O do not use the virgule (/) to substitute for “and“ or “or.“ Do not use “etc.“; use “e.g.,“ “for instance,“ or “such as.“ Do not use “as show
37、n on the drawings” as this phrase is frequently overlooked by the project spec writer or editor; if used in the text and the item is not shown on the drawings, then the item is not specified. 2-3.1 Mood, Tense, and Voice In general, use the imperative mood (e.g., install equipment) except when clari
38、ty requires the use of the indicative mood (e.g., equipment shall be). The term “shall” is used to indicate mandatory contract requirements on the part of the contractor. The term “will” is used to indicate contract requirements to be performed by the Government. Use “can“ and “may“ to permit choice
39、 and identify guidance. Do not use the word “should” in the specification text 2 for mandatory requirements 4as “should” implies a contractor option/4/. /2/ The word “should” may be used in the Notes to indicate desirable procedures that are advisory in nature. Do not use the term “furnish“ unless P
40、rovided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-UFC 1-300-02 September 2004 Change 4 December 2006 7 only delivery of material to the site is required. Use “provide“ to mean “furnish and install.“ 2-3.2 Abbreviations and Acronyms Use of abbreviations
41、and acronyms must follow the practices within the discipline involved and should be defined at their first use in a section. At the first use, write out the term completely and follow with the abbreviation or acronym in parentheses. Use abbreviations for units such as psi, cfm, and kW and be consist
42、ent in their use. 2-3.3 Units Spell out numbers under 10, except units of time and measurement, and use numerals for numbers 10 and above. Dimensions are always presented as numerals, but “one“ and “zero“ are always spelled out when used singly. Do not repeat a spelled-out figure with a numeral in p
43、arentheses. 2-3.4 Terminology Avoid the use of colloquial terms or jargon. For example, do not use “bulkhead“ for wall, “deck“ for floor, or “head“ for toilet. Eliminate redundant and superfluous wording such as “conforming to,“ “all,“ and “type.“ Avoid the use of indefinite items such as “etc.,“ “a
44、ny,“ and “and/or.“ Avoid the use of vague words and phrases or escape clauses such as “as may be required,“ “as necessary,“ “an approved type,“ “as approved/directed/determined by the Contracting Officer,“ “first class workmanship,“ “securely,“ “thoroughly,“ “suitable,“ “properly,“ “good working ord
45、er,“ “neatly,“ “carefully,“ and “installed in a neat and workmanlike manner.” Avoid the use of long, compound or hyphenated words such as “hereinbefore“ and “hereinafter.“ 2-3.5 Symbols Avoid the use of symbols. Never use an apostrophe () for foot, a quotation mark (“) for inch, a degree symbol () f
46、or degree, or a numeric symbol (#) for pound in subpart text. Spell out or abbreviate such items. However, symbols may be used when both feet and inches are in a dimension (e.g. 8-8”) and in tables. Avoid the use of exponents, subscripts, or superscripts. Spell out such items. 2-3.6 Pronouns Avoid t
47、he use of pronouns “he,“ “his,“ “this,“ “they,“ “their,“ “who,“ “it,“ and “which.“ Pronouns should be used sparingly if at all; it is usually better to repeat the noun. 2-3.7 Capitalization Capitalize “Contractor,“ “Contracting Officer,“ “Government,“ and “Contract” in specifications. The term “Cont
48、racting Officer“ is used rather than the terms “Officer in Charge of Construction,” “Contracting Officer Representative,” or “Government Representative.” Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-UFC 1-300-02 September 2004 Change 4 December 20
