Comments and suggestions on this guide specification
are welcome and should be directed to the technical
proponent of the specification. A listing of
technical proponents, including their organization
designation and telephone number, is on the Internet.
Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as
a Criteria Change Request (CCR).
Use of electronic communication is encouraged.
Brackets are used in the text to indicate designer
choices or locations where text must be supplied by
the designer.
This guide specification includes tailoring options
for Contractor design, Government design, and hybrid
design. Selection or deselection of a tailoring
option will include or exclude that option in the
section, but editing the resulting section to fit
the project is still required.
The following is guidance in selecting tailoring
options:
(1) Contractor Design. Many suppliers have
designers that specialize in design of SRW's.
Allowing the Contractor to design the system
provides the most competitive bidding process. The
Contractor has the capacity to select materials for
the most efficient design. This is the most
favorable design method for typical applications.
(2)
Government Design.
Non-typical applications
