PREFACE________________________________________________________________________

This manual has been developed as a guideline for Architects and Engineers, as well as anyonewho is commissioned to design, renovate and otherwise alter buildings and related facilities forRutgers, The State University of New Jersey. It has been prepared in order to clarify thoseprocedures and standards that the University has found to be most workable, to indicate Rutgerspreferences on certain materials used in construction of their facilities, and to answer themiscellaneous questions that arise on many building projects. It both supplements andcomplements the requirements of the Owner-Architect Agreement, and should be consideredas a fundamental part of the Program provided for each individual project.

Whenever the term Architect is used, it shall apply equally to Engineer andArchitect/Engineer (A/E). Many of the recipients of this manual will have performed workpreviously for Rutgers. We beg their indulgence in suffering through a great deal sayWelcome, and express our hope that the material contained herein will greatly simplify theirwork.

This manual is presented on the Internet athttp://facilities.rutgers.edu/facdesign/Designstds/design.htm and in loose-leaf form in order topermit periodic updating. A Newark Specific Version can be obtained on the internet athttp://rutgers-newark.rutgers.edu/ppnewark/ds. Flexibility is inherent in certain of therequirements, and changes will be made when necessary. It will be the Architect or Engineersresponsibility to ascertain that his manual is up to date. For this purpose, all pages have beendated.

This manual contains both recommendations and mandatory provisions. Mandatory provisionsare distinguished by the words shall or must. However, except for those items which mustcomply with legal requirements, local codes, etc., nothing in this manual is intended to be sofinal that variation there from will not be considered and approved if it is in the best interest ofthe University to do so. It is the responsibility of Architects and Engineers to produce the bestlife cycle cost building possible, within constraints of budget, and the University does not wishto handicap their efforts by insistence on blind adherence to inflexible requirements. However,intended variations must be brought to the attention of the University for specific writtenapproval. Otherwise, Architects and Engineers will be held responsible for any additional costsresulting from failure to comply with the mandatory requirements of this manual.

A sincere attempt has been made to establish performance rather than specification standardswherever this has been practical. The manual is not intended to be a master specification andtherefore, in most cases, the language in this manual will need modification before it is includedin the Project Specifications.

The temptation to underline words or phrases for emphasis has been resisted. In a guideline ofthis type some items must be more important than others, but all, we believe, are noteworthy.

The basic philosophy has been to include only those details and procedures that will make acomplex and delicately meshed operation simpler and more productive. The ideas contained

herein will be helpful, but these are only the raw material from which the imagination and skillof Architects and Engineers will create buildings that can make a significant contribution to thefulfillment of the Universitys objectives. Initiative, resourcefulness, and creative ingenuitycannot be prescribed between the covers of a book.

The text of the manual is arranged in four Parts as indicated below. Although there will, ofnecessity, be some overlapping of information between Parts, this arrangement provides the mostlogical organization of subject matter.

Part I -

Define the administrative procedures, which Architects and Engineers must follow in workingwith the University. It is anticipated that this statement of procedures will establish a smoothoperating relationship throughout the entire planning and construction process.

Part II -

Outlines the format, which should be used in assembling the project manual.

Part III -

Discusses design considerations, special documentation requirements and technical requirementsof materials and methods of construction. It is arranged on the basis of the CSI 16 - DivisionSpecification Format to include all of the areas in which the University requires certain minimalstandards in the design, documentation and selection of materials and quality of workmanship.When this manual is silent on a particular material, no standards have been developed by theUniversity. In all cases, the Architect or Engineer is to use his / her professional judgment, and,where such judgment indicates design, documentation, material or methods contrary toinformation found in this manual, the Architect or Engineer should discuss these areas with theProject Manager in charge of their project. The Architect or Engineer shall not proceed withdeviations from the requirements of this manual without written approval from the "University."

Part IV -

Establishes standard details. These details are typical standards established by the Universityand are included to assist Architects and Engineers in preparing Drawings that are acceptable anduniform for all projects.

PART I - GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES (NEWARK CAMPUS)

________________________________________________________________________

A. Rutgers University Newark Physical Plant Organization:

The A/E will be working primarily with the Project Manager from the Rutgers NewarkPhysical Plant Organization. All input and coordination shall be through the ProjectManager. In Part IV, Sketch SK-25N shows the organization.

At award of the Construction contract the Project Manager still has overall responsibilityfor the project.

Terms such as Rutgers" or the University" used in these Guideline Standards refer totheNewark Physical Plant Project Manager, especially when approval, permission orconsultation is noted.

Invoicing and Payments:The A/E shall submit with each invoice a certification that all associated Architects,Engineers, Consultants, etc. have been paid a proportionate share of any previouspayments made under the contract, to the extent that they are entitled .

No deduction shall be made from the A/E fee for any penalty or liquidated damagescharged to any Contractor. No additional compensation shall be made for preparation ofAlternates, unless the Owner prior to execution of the work approves such additionalcompensation in writing.

During Pre-Design Analysis (Programmatic Phase), Schematic design, DesignDevelopment, and Contract Documents and Bidding, the University will make monthlypayments to the A/E based on the progress of the work. Such payments shall in no eventexceed the fee limits for phases as set forth in the contract. Such payments will belimited in proportion to the Owners estimate of progress and percentage completion ofthe work in the current phase. During Construction, the payments toward the fixed feedue for that phase will be made to the A/E in proportion to progress payments made tothe Contractor for construction of the Project, as certified by the A/E.

B. Invoices:

1. Shall be numbered and include the Rutgers Project Name, Rutgers AccountNumber, current construction budget, fee rate (if applicable).

2. On each invoice show a chart, which has the following breakdown:Phase, % of fee or contract amount for each phase, % complete to date for eachphase, amount of fee earned per percentage complete, amount previouslyinvoiced, current amount due for the invoice in question. Each phase of the

11


12/160

project shall be listed (i.e. pre-design, schematic design, design development,construction documents, bidding / negotiation, construction administration).

3. On each invoice show a separate line indicating amount due for that invoice.

4. All back up with the invoice shall be attached, including any reimbursableexpense documentation.

5. The A/E cannot proceed on change orders without the written authorization fromthe University. Change orders cannot be billed without such authorization.

All change orders shall be sequentially numbered. The revised contract amountshall be shown on the invoice along with the original contract amount and theprevious contract amount if more than one change order. Invoices shall followthe same format as previously described.

C. Drawing Standards:

1. GENERAL:

a. The A/E shall be responsible for preparation of the bid set of drawings;these shall be on mylar. The bid set shall be produced per the Size andMaterials section below. The Contractor shall produce record drawingswhich shall be marked up blue-lines showing deviations from the plansand specifications due to field conditions and construction modifications.The A/E shall take the record drawings and produce the As-Built drawingson mylar with a CAD file.

b. All drawings shall be oriented in the same way; i.e. north arrow (as closeto true north) pointed to the top of the page for all plans and site drawings.

c. All floor plans shall be in the same scale to each other. All site plans shallbe prepared in the same scale to each other.

2. SIZE AND MATERIAL:

a. In an effort to maintain consistency and a permanent record of all theUniversity's buildings, all completed construction documents must beproduced on Mylar plastic, Matte finished both faces. Standard sizes shallbe as follows:

24" x 36"30" x 42"

Project Number (cross-referenced to budget number).

Building Number.

Area large enough for A/E's signature and seal.

Approval block for the signature of the University Architect to approve thedrawing.

5. DRAWING NUMBER:

The A/E shall ask the Project Manager for the building number. This numbershall be on all drawings. Use "T" for title drawings, "SP" for sitework, "A" forarchitectural, "FS" for food service, "FL" for interior design or furniture layout,"LF" for laboratory furniture, "S" for structural, "P" for plumbing, "HVAC" forheating, ventilating, and air conditioning, "M" for mechanical, if plumbing andHVAC are combined, "FP" for fire protection drawings, "E" for electricaldrawings, and ME for mechanical and electrical combined.

13


14/160

The University has a drawing numbering system that must be adhered to and usedon all drawings. At the completion of a project by the A/E, a disc with eachdrawing title and corresponding number shall be transmitted to the University.

A description of the drawing numbering system follows:

6. DRAWING STANDARDIZATION PROCEDURES:

To eliminate confusion in our routine day-to-day design drawing activities, astandardized system exists whereby all drawings are identified with significantfile numbers at the initial onset of each and every project. The system delineatesdetailed information that is a prerequisite for compliance with the computerizedRutgers Facilities, Utilities & Geographic Information System. Included in thesystem are the procedures for drawing release and revision.

A Step By Step Procedure is Outlined as Follows:

a. DWG. FILE NO. ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURE:

1) A review of the project by Architect/Engineer/Designer isconducted to ascertain amount and type of drawings required.

2) A request is made to the Technical Services File ManagementDept., for a total amount of dwg. file number assignments affectingthat project, including all divisions.

3) All pertinent information concerning each drawing is given to theFile Management Dept. at that time, i.e. Dwg. type - Mechanical,Structural, Arch., Electrical, etc.

4) For sizable projects, additional numbers in the same numberingsequence will be reserved to insure project number continuity.

5) The Technical Services File Management Dept. will maintain ahard copy project log designed to follow projects from inception tocompletion. The log will contain drawing and project status on anon-going basis.

14


15/160

b. DRAWING FILE NO. SAMPLES:

1) A sample significant building dwg. file number will look like this:BSH3573A0001= BSH 3573 A 0001, which consists

of the Campus, Building Number, Drawing type (Arch), andSequence No. respectively.

2) A sample significant utility dwg. file number will look like this:BSHUA0001= BSH U A 0001, which consists of theCampus, Drawing Type (Utility), and the Sequence No.respectively.

c. DRAWING REVISION PROCEDURE - Drawings Made In-House:

Revisions to existing drawings (drawn in-house) are as follows:

1) A reproducible copy (translucent bond) of the dwg. to be revised isto be placed in file. This copy will be marked void-superseded bynew file No._____. It will replace the original dwg. that will berevised.

2) Assign new file no. to revised dwg. and also record this no. on thesuperseded file copy. This will cross reference the two (2)drawings and render the previous issue (on the superseded dwg.)intact.

3) Make the change to the original file dwg. and indicate the revisiondescription in the revision block area.

4) The revision issue column in the revision block area will utilize thealphabet (circumscribed by a triangle) to identify each revision(A).

A H.C. 9-9-94 J.R. CHANGED; Issue, by, date,Approved by, Description respectively.

5) In the event that a revision may require an itemized breakdown, itcan be displayed as follows:

A M.F. 9-7-94 PM A1, A2, A3; Issue, By, Date,Appvd. By, Description, respectively.

6) An Approved By column is to be added to the revision blockarea next to the date column. The Project Manager prior to formalrelease print issuance must initial each revision issue.

15


16/160

d. DRAWING REVISION PROCEDURE:

Drawings made by outside Architects/Contractors

Same as dwg. revision procedure 3 for drawings made in-house except:

1) A reproducible copy (vellum/mylar) is made from the originaldwg. Revisions are to be made to the reproducible copy.

2) The original file dwg. remains intact should litigation become anissue in the future.

7. NEW DRAWING RELEASE PROCEDURE:

a. All fields in the title block area of the dwg. are to be completed and a

comprehensive description of the project and dwg. title is mandatory fordocumentation and future reference.

b. The University Architect must sign all drawings to be released.

c. The issue column in the change block area will display a dash line (-) fororiginal issues i.e. issued for bids, addenda no. with date, etc. The firstofficial revision to the drawing will display A see drawing procedure 3

D. The addenda number and date must be included.

H.C. 12-6-94 R.O. ISSUED FOR BID; Issued By, Date,Approved By and Description Respectively.

d. The revision block area of the dwg. (above the title block) must indicatethe reason for the issue, i.e. Issued for Bids, - Issued for Addenda etc.

e. In the event that a new dwg. is created from information extracted andmodified from any file dwg, a cross-reference notation in the changed areaof the file dwg. is to be made to reference the new dwg. This will up dateand highlight the change area of the file dwg. for future reference.

f. For University generated drawings to be formally released (see new dwg.release procedure 5 B), the project log is to be updated and dwg. is to beturned over to the Technical Services File Management Dept. fordocumentation and print distribution. At this time a copy of the log willbe placed in the main project development request (PDR) file folder. Thiscross-references the dwgs. affected by the PDR.

16


17/160

g. For University generated drawings not to be released at time ofcompletion and kept on hold, it is to be stored in the preliminary dwg. filecabinet in the appropriate campus area drawer. At this time the project logis to be updated in the remarks column with the reason for the hold.

8. MISCELLANEOUS:

a. All outside services drawings (special projects, as-built, etc.) from outsideArchitects and Contractors are to be turned over to the Technical ServicesFile Management Department. The A/E and Contractors shall place adocument retrieval numbering system on the documents. This numberingsystem shall be in place prior to shop submittals. A disc with theappropriate titles and files shall be transmitted to the University at theconclusion of the project.

9. TITLE SHEET:

A title sheet shall be included on all projects with more than 5 drawings. For setsof five sheets or less, indicate sheet numbers (for instance sheet 1 of 5). After thetitle sheet is developed the A/E shall consult with the Project Manager and theManager of Technical Services to assign a block of numbers to the project. Thetitle sheet shall include the following minimum information (see SK-15):

Rutgers logo max. 3" high, min. 2"

Project name and location

Name, address and phone number, fax number, email address of the A/E and anyconsultants used on the project

Index of all drawings included in the Contract Documents, this should include theRutgers drawing sequence number.

Location map indicating the location of the project on the particular campus orwithin the town it is located. Campus maps are available from the Manager ofTechnical Services.

List of symbols and abbreviations used in the Contract Documents.Abbreviations used on the Drawings must be industry standard recognizedabbreviations and must be consistent throughout the construction documents.

10. ROOM NUMBERING ON FLOOR PLANS:

With over 800 buildings, in 1970 Rutgers adopted a standard method of handlingroom numbers which should be adopted from the earliest possible point in thedesign process and carried throughout to completion. The A/E shall use the

Rutgers Room Numbering System on all drawings. At design developmentcompletion, the A/E will work with the Project Manager to develop roomnumbers consistent with the University system. Consistent room numbering willfacilitate matters for numerous organizations including Scheduling and SpaceManagement, Inventory Control, Fire and Emergency Services, and the FacilitiesMaintenance Services concerned with the Construction Process. Nothing can bemore confusing in the latter stages of construction as two (or more) room numberplans. Therefore, the following procedure shall be followed by all A/E's:

The system depends on some basic definitions as follows:

Corridor: A space normally used for pedestrian traffic, at least 5 feet wide andenclosed by solid walls.

Vestibule: A space used for traffic that is a point of ingress or egress to abuilding, with doors on two walls.

Room: A clearly defined space not normally used for through traffic andenclosed by solid walls.

First Floor: The lowest floor of any building, which is, at least 50% abovesurrounding grade.

Lobby: A space used for traffic that is a point for ingress or egress to a buildingor floor from upper or lower floors.

In general, room numbers will consist of three digits with the first digitdesignating the floor. Basement rooms will use a zero (0) as the first digit. Ifthere are floors below the basement the room numbers should be developed on aspecial basis with the appropriate Newark Physical Plant Personnel.

In general, all floors of the building should have similar patterns. Numberingpatterns should begin at the end of the corridor nearest the main entrance orlobby. Even numbers should apply to rooms on the right side of the corridor andodd numbers to rooms on the left, moving away from the entrance. Numbersshould be in direct sequence, and only one number should be applied to one roomregardless of the number of doors to that room off the corridor. Rooms, whichhave no direct entrance from a corridor, should be designated by adding a letterafter the number of the room through which they are entered from the Corridor(101A). If they can be entered through more than one room, the number of theroom most frequently used to gain access should be used

18


19/160

While this system is quite sensible, its basic premise assumes a fairly simple floorplan, a situation that seldom occurs in actual practice. Most new buildings havecomplicated floor plans designed to suit a specific purpose without considerationfor creation of any rigid geometric order, and numerous alterations and additions

to older buildings often wreak havoc on established room numbering. However,it is possible to establish a fairly reasonable room numbering plan for virtuallyany building, provided that the basic rules are applied and tempered with commonsense and judgment. It is essential that the numbering system for new buildingsor renovated buildings be developed by someone thoroughly familiar with thesystem and the University.

Once the basic floor plan is established, prints shall be submitted to the AssociateDirector for Projects for Newark Physical Plant where the appropriate roomnumbering system will be marked on the prints. Room numbers will be indicatedwith a rectangle drawn around each number. The marked prints will be returned

to the A/E with instructions to adhere to the established room numbers on allsubsequent submissions. Inevitable changes arising during the design process, asthey affect room numbering, will be cleared with the Newark Physical Plant.

Doors should be numbered with a system, which reflects the room number towhich the door allows access. For example, the door to room 104 should belabeled "104/1" or "104/A" or similar system.

After the final plans are approved, the A/E shall prepare a separate roomnumbering plan, drawn to a scale of 1" = 20' on 17" x 22" mylar transparencyshowing all rooms and spaces, with numbers as indicated above, and names. Thisdrawing shall also be transmitted to the University in CAD format on a computerdisc. All CAD files must be AutoCAD release 12 or higher. Drawing shall beaccurate enough to show such things as distinctions in thickness of major wallsand interior partitions. Plan shall also show all entrances and exits, stairways,elevators, service areas and major architectural features, such as window walls,plazas, ramps and loading docks. Dimensions need not be shown, and details notpertinent of the general layout should be omitted.

D. Specification Standards:

1. MASTER SPECIFICATIONS:

A/Es are cautioned that computerized specifications must be heavily edited to suitthe requirements for the specific project. It is recommended that an experienceddedicated specifications writer be employed to write specifications on Rutgersprojects.

2. COORDINATION:

19


20/160

Specifications should be coordinated so that issues are addressed only once. Forinstance, the engineering specifications should not reiterate the number of shopdrawings needed, or mention additions to the Bid Form. These problems oftenarise when the Architect uses consulting engineers. The Architect is responsibleto review the engineers' specifications and coordinate such items. Make sure that

specifications from consultants are submitted to the Architect in enough time toperform this review.

3. FORMAT:

Use CSI or MasterSpec 3-part format for all specifications. Format should beconsistent throughout the entire specification.

All articles, paragraphs and subparagraphs should be numbered or lettered inoutline form for easy reference. See enclosed sample in the Standards DetailsSection.

Section Number and Title should be boldly indicated at top of first page ofSection. The first Section of each Division should also indicate the Divisionname and title.

Each Section should end with "END OF SECTION" to indicate that this is the lastpage of the Section. Each page of the Section should have the Section numberand page number (sequentially numbered) centered at the bottom of the page.Reason: In printing process it is possible to misplace a page or get pages inwrong order. The Contractor can easily determine that he has all proper pages bychecking the sequential numbers and will know he has the last page with the"END OF SECTION" indication. All pages of the specification are to besequentially numbered from page 1 to the end of the Division 16. This must beperformed just prior to printing when the entire specification is complete and ismost easily accomplished by using one of the large type numbering machines.

4. PROOF READING:

The A/E is responsible to insure that all specifications are proofread. Theomission of simple words as "not" will completely change the meaning of asentence. Also, in the proofreading process, additional thoughts or changes intext are often caught and can be corrected.

20


21/160

5. PROHIBITED LANGUAGE:

The following words, phrases, and clauses are expressly prohibited:

a. "Plumbing Contractor", "Food Service Contractor", etc. All constructionwork is bid through single prime Lump Sum General Contracts. Underthis type of contract, it is the General Contractors responsibility toperform all work required. It is the General Contractors business decisionas to how the work will be divided amongst their subcontracts.

b. The note "by others" or Not in Contract (NIC). If this is the case, namethe specific contractor or agent to provide the item.

c. The words "This Contractor shall..." or "The Contractor shall..." to begininstructions to a contractor. These words are redundant since all

instructions are directed to the General Construction Contractor.

d. The word "alternate" to indicate an "option". The word "alternate" shouldbe used only for alternate work, which is specified in the technicalsections of the specifications and must be included in the bidders'proposals. The word "option" should be used to indicate items for whichthe contractor may make a choice without affecting the contract. Alloptions must be approved by the University prior to construction in whichcase either the change will be done at no increase in cost to the project oras a credit or deduct.

e. "Is", "are", or "will be". Use the word "shall", or put in imperative mood.This is particularly a problem when copying specifications provided bymanufacturers, which is used as a sales tool. Remove text, whichindicates the advantages for using this product, or other text designed tosell you on its use rather than indicate the nature of the material or itsproper installation.

Avoid abbreviations and symbols such as #, @, &, and w/.

When referring to Rutgers, use the terms "Owner" or "University". Do notuse "Using Agency" or "State".

E. Estimating Standards:

All estimates shall be based upon Means Estimating handbooks, latest edition. Estimatesshall be detailed enough to fully identify all portions of the work. Estimates should alsoidentify critical long lead items. The estimate should be done in ConstructionSpecifications Institute (CSI) format.

21


22/160

The A/E shall prepare estimates at completion of pre-design, schematic design, designdevelopment, 50%, 90% and 100% design completion unless the Owner ArchitectsAgreement states otherwise. It is the A/Es responsibility to insure budget complianceduring design and to do estimates as necessary to meet budget fit.

F. Area and Volume Calculations:

All area and volume calculations shall strictly adhere to the AIA Document D101"Methods of Calculating Areas and Volumes of Buildings", latest edition.

G. Codes and Code Compliance:

1. CODE REVIEW:

All Rutgers projects are submitted to the Department of Community Affairs forcode review. Exact procedures will be provided when projects reach the review

stage.

2. CODES TO BE USED:

All Rutgers' building projects shall conform with the New Jersey UniformConstruction Code including the following:

3. BUILDING PERMITS AND FM REVIEW:

Building Permits are acquired by Rutgers. The A/E shall provide all data requiredand fill in forms for application for building permit. The A/E shall be responsiblefor follow-up correspondence directly with the DCA as necessary in order to

obtain permits.

The University must follow Factory Mutual standards. Major projects, roofs,underground storage tanks, sprinklers, etc. are reviewed by FM. The ProjectManager is responsible for coordination with FM. However, as with buildingpermits above, the A/E is responsible for follow-up correspondence.

H. Bidding Procedures:

1. STATEMENT OF WORK:

The A/E shall prepare a one-page statement of work briefly describing the project.

2. BID FORMS:

Bid forms are included in the Project Manual. The Bidders are to submit theirbids in duplicate. The Bid forms will be provided to the A/E with the exception ofthe pricing sheet for the Alternates. It shall be the A/E 's responsibility to developthis page.

2. INTERIOR COLORS:

The Interior Design Consultant or Architect will select Color of interior finishesearly during construction. The A/E shall obtain submissions from the Contractoron all manufacturers and products that the Contractor intends to use on the

project. Using the standard or special colors from these manufacturers, theInterior Design Consultant or the A/E shall prepare a color board indicating thevarious spaces and the color schemes for each space or series of spaces. Thesecolor boards shall be submitted to Rutgers Project Manager for review andapproval at the point early in the construction process and no later than the datethat structural elements of the building are 50% complete. Upon approval of thecolors, the A/E shall develop a detailed listing for the Contractor indicating thecolors selected for each material and location on the project.

The A/E shall carefully monitor submissions from the Contractor, especially onthose items requiring color selection and shall remind the Contractor of anysubmissions not made which may hold up the color selection. The A/E isencouraged to include in the Specifications clear instructions to the Contractor tomake this process as painless as possible.

J. Construction Change Order Procedures:

1. The only changes that will be made are:

Changes to meet code requirementsChanges to make the building function properlyChanges due to field conditions

2. The procedure for issuing change orders is asfollows:

25


26/160

c. The Contractor will submit the proposal to the A/E and the Project

Manager

d. The Project Managerand the A/E shall review the cost proposal and any

extension of time requested. Any comments or deficiencies will bereviewed with the Contractor if agreement cannot be reached with regardto cost and time impact separate change orders may be issued for each.

e. When an acceptable cost and/or time extension has been reached, the A/Ewill be directed to issue five (5) copies of the Change Order to theContractor.

f. After the Contractor has signed all five copies of the Change Order, itshould be forwarded to the Project Manager for signature by the Directorof Newark Physical Plant and the Project Manager.

g. The Director will route the Change Order through and when theappropriate signatures have been attained, the Change Order will beforwarded to Accounting for final processing, one copy to the Contractor,and A/E.

h. The Contractor may not bill for the Change Order until an executed copyof the Change Order has been received.

K. Rutgers Standard Colors:

The official Rutgers "Scarlet" color is represented by Con-Lux Coatings, Inc. Enamelite508, Fire Red/Steel-Guard 8508, Accent Red and Dupont Imron #8554, Flame Red.Although this is the official "Scarlet" color, it is not intended to indicate a standard paintmanufacturer. Many other paint and coating manufacturers can match this color.

L. Construction Photographs:

Rutgers University will take construction photographs once a month.

M. Health-Safety Requirements:

1. CLASSROOM CONFIGURATION:

Rooms designed for a capacity of more than forty-eight (48) students must havetwo separate exit doors.

26


27/160

2. LABORATORY, SHOP, STUDIO, AND OFFICE LAYOUTS:

Egress from a low hazard area (office, conference room) may not be through anarea of higher hazard (laboratory, shop, many art studios, darkroom, etc.). Wherepossible, the office area should have at least one exit directly into a corridor.

Office space and/or a break area where workers can eat or drink must be locatedconveniently and sufficiently close to, but not in, laboratories, shops, art studios,etc.

3. EQUIPMENT/FURNISHINGS WITHIN A SPACE:

Provide adequate working or use space around equipment and furnishings. Ingeneral, 30" of free floor area is required for operations done while standing, and36" of free floor area is required for seated operations, aisles, passageways, anddoorways. These are minimums which should be increased depending on many

variables including occupant traffic capacity, size of material used in anoperation, and facility use.

Decontamination facilities, such as sinks for hand washing and storage of cleanclothes, should be designed into each laboratory, shop, studio or other such space.These facilities should be located close to the exits to less hazardous areas.

The most hazardous operations areas, such as fume hoods or chemical storageareas must be located away from exits.

In rooms, such as laboratories, chemical storage rooms, and others wherehazardous materials are used or stored, separate, remotely located doors arehighly recommended and must be installed whenever possible. Such spaces musthave a second door when travel to the door from the most remote point in theroom exceeds 50 feet. Teaching laboratories should have two doors, and shouldbe configured to avoid dead-end aisles between benches, other furnishings, andpermanent partitions. Bench runs in all laboratories should be placedperpendicular to the main door so that normal circulation patterns are towards theexit.

4. DARKROOM VENTILATION:

Darkrooms where wet chemicals are used must be furnished with local exhaustventilation to control airborne levels of photographic process chemicals. Thisshall be in the form of a flanged slotted plenum running the length of and behindthe work area where chemicals are used. A capture velocity of 50 linear feet perminute (LFM) must be provided at the front edge of the work area. The requiredexhaust flow rate to produce this capture velocity shall be calculated by thefollowing formula:

27


28/160

Q = 2.6 LVX

Where:Q = Volumetric flow rate in cubic feet per minute (CFM)L = Length of work area, in feet

V = Desired capture velocity (in this case, 50 LFM)X = Distance from slot to front of work area, in feet

Once the required flow rate is determined, the slot width shall be sized to providea slot velocity of approximately 2000 feet per minute. The plenum shall be sizedto provide a plenum velocity of approximately half the slot velocity. (Taken fromthe ACGIH Industrial Ventilation Manual, 22nd Edition.)

5. LOUNGE AREAS:

Lounge and eating areas must be provided in all wet laboratory, shop and studio

buildings. There should be sufficient areas convenient to all laboratories todiscourage eating and drinking in and continuous occupancy of, potentiallyhazardous work areas.

N. Security Conscious Design:

The University follows a program of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design(CPTED)1. Increased security and crime prevention can be brought about through the useof environmental controls. These controls include natural surveillance, natural accesscontrol, territorial reinforcement and maintenance as outlined below:

1. Natural SurveillanceMaximize visibility with strategic placement of architecture and physicalelements.

2. Natural Access Control:Place entrances, exits, fencing, landscaping and lighting to control movement ofpeople and vehicles.

3. Territorial Reinforcement:Place architecture, fencing, landscaping, lighting, etc. in order to declare propertyownership.

4. Maintenance:Maintain landscaping, buildings, lighting, etc. in order to maintain visibility,preserve pride in ownership and continue declaration of ownership.

2. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and supportingregulations thereto;

3. Applicable New Jersey state laws, regulations and codes.

Beyond mere compliance, every design component should be examined for its impact onpersons with disabilities and adjusted to achieve the optimum balance between userrequirements and convenient access to individuals with disabilities. At an appropriatetime in the design phase of the project, there shall be a consultation with the UniversityADA Compliance Officer, or other designated University official, to review the projectdesign with reference to applicable federal and state standards.

P. Mail Rooms:

All new buildings, as well as significant renovations to existing buildings, shall include amail drop off and pick up. The Architect/Engineer of record shall assist the users toconsider and program the delivery and dispersal of mail.

E. Foundation elevations shall be shown at elevation of suitable bearing.

F. Prior to performing any excavation, call (1-800-272-1000) for Utility mark outs.

02050 BUILDING DEMOLITION

A. When a building is to be demolished, without new construction in its place, all foundationwalls shall be removed to a point 3-0 below grade. All basement slabs below the 3-0level need not be demolished, but must be broken into approximately 4 square areas orless to allow drainage of water. Require the Contractor to hire the services of a NewJersey licensed surveyor to document the location of all foundations left in place belowthe 3-0 location, as well as abandoned utilities, and utilities relocated as required by thedemolition work. Survey shall become part of the as-built drawing requirements of theContractor at completion of the work.

B. All demolition debris shall be removed from the University property and disposed of bylawful means. Backfill of buildings shall be with clean fill, compacted to at least 95%minimum density for cohesive materialand 95% relative density for cohesionlessmaterial. Area shall be topsoiled and seeded unless otherwise directed by the ProjectManager.

C. Through the Project Manager, REHS must be contacted for an asbestos determination.Any asbestos containing materials shall be removed prior to demolition activities.

D. Prior to any demolition of basement floors or making connections into old undergroundwaste systems it is required that REHS be contacted.

All utilities shall be cut and capped. The location of the preceding cuts / caps shall beannotated on the as-built survey provided by the Contractor.

E. Concrete, block, or brick must be broken up to the point where it will minimize voids inthe fill. Although this size is interpretative, a good rule of thumb is 8 inches in diameter.

02060 UNDERGROUND TANK REMOVAL

A. For information and specifications on removal as per Rutgers requirements see theProject Manager. REHS shall be contacted for all tank removals.

See Division 15, Section 15483.

02070 SELECTIVE DEMOLITION OF ROOFING

A. Design Considerations

1. During the schematic design phase of projects involving removal of existingroofing systems, it is the responsibility of the A/E to determine existing materialsto be removed, including but not limited to, surfacing materials, roof membranematerials, insulation materials and vapor retarded materials. This information isessential to the proper specification of removal procedures and requirements. It isalso required to provide bidding contractors with sufficient information to preparethorough and accurate bids. The A/E is responsible for destructive testing (i.e.roof cores) and patching of test areas, in at least one location on each separateroof area. Additional tests are required at each area which is visibly different, orwhich is suspected to have differing subsurface conditions, based on availabledocumentation.

2. Existing roofing membrane(s), membrane flashings and vapor-retarded materialsare to be tested for the presence of asbestos. The A/E is responsible for takingsamples, in quantities and locations sufficient to meet the requirements of RutgersEnvironmental Health and Safety (REHS) Department. Sample locations shouldbe combined with the roofing material testing required in Item #A.1 above, tominimize the total number of test locations taken on the roof. REHS shall benotified in advance and will have a representative present during sampling.Samples taken by the A/E shall be turned over to the REHS representative.REHS will be responsible for the laboratory testing of all samples and the resultswill be provided to the A/E for use in preparing the appropriate constructiondocuments.

B. Special Documentation Requirements

1. Drawings shall include an "Existing Roof System Components Chart" identifyingexisting materials for each roof area, including approximate square footage ofeach roof area. A sample "Existing Roof System Components Chart" is providedin Part IV of this manual. (Sketch SK-28).

2. When laboratory testing determines that asbestos containing roofing and/orflashing material exists and is to be removed, the A/E shall refer to Sections

02071 (applicable to asbestos containing roofing) or 02072 (applicable to asbestoscontaining flashing only) for specification requirement.

02071..REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING ROOFING MATERIAL

A. Design Consideration

1. All Contract Documents shall adequately address the proper removal,

transportation and disposal of ACRM. In addition, for purposes of future riskmanagement, Rutgers has developed procedures and requirements that mayexceed current regulatory requirements concerning ACRM, which must also beincorporated into the Contract Documents for any project where ACRM existsand will be removed. The requirements of this section apply when roofingmaterial in the field of the roof contains asbestos and is being removed, whetheror not the flashing material contains asbestos.


1. Section 02071, located in Part IV of this Manual, has been prepared by Rutgers

and is to be included, as written, in the Project Manual for all projects involvingthe removal of ACRM. With the exception of style changes, paragraph 1.1.B isthe only paragraph the A/E is permitted to modify for content, unless specificallyapproved in writing by the Assistant Vice President for Planning andDevelopment and the Director of Rutgers Environmental Health and Safetydepartment.

02072 REMOVAL OF INTACT INCIDENTAL ASBESTOS CONTAINING ROOFING MATERIAL

A. Design Consideration

1. All Contract Documents shall adequately address the proper removal,transportation and disposal of ACRM. In addition, for purposes of future riskmanagement, Rutgers has developed procedures and requirements that mayexceed current regulatory requirements concerning ACRM, which must also beincorporated into the Contract Documents for any project where ACRM existsand will be removed. The requirements of this section apply when only roofflashing material contains asbestos and is being removed.


1. Section 02072, located in Part Iv of this Manual, has been prepared by Rutgersand is to be included, as written, in the Project Manual for all projects involvingthe removal of ACRM. With the exception of style changes, paragraph 1.1.Bonly paragraph the A/E permitted to modify for content, unless specificallyapproved in writing by Assistant Vice President for Planning and Developmentand the Director of Rutgers Environmental Health and Safety department.

A. Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan

1. All Projects disturbing a ground planed area of 5,000 square feet or more arerequired to have a Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan and Certification.Prior to putting the project out to bid, the A/E shall provide the University withthe necessary documents to allow Rutgers to file with the appropriate SoilConservation District (a site plan indicating the proposed soil erosion andsediment controls as required for each project and storm water runoffcalculations). The University requires that the SCD perm
