categories. Seismic protection design for anchorage
and bracing of all equipment will be based on TI
809-04. The designer will ensure that the A-E
and/or Contractor has access to TI 809-04.
The designer has 3 options to provide seismic
protection for a project:
1) Hire an A-E who will use this section and will
submit calculations and drawings stamped by a
registered engineer. The Contracting Officer will
"accept" the design but the registered engineer
(Engineer of Record) will have final responsibility
for the adequacy of the structural members and their
connections.
2) Issue a contract requiring the Contractor to
hire a registered engineer to submit the stamped
calculations and drawings in accordance with this
section. The contracting Officer will "accept" the
design but the registered engineer (Engineer of
Record) will have final responsibility for the
adequacy of the structural members and their
connections.
3) Perform the design in house, in which case the
Government designer will have final responsibility
for the adequacy of the structural members and their
connections.
Regardless of who performs the design, this section,
properly edited, must be included in the
construction documents to allow the Contractor to
install the seismic protection features.
This section can be used for bracing details of
medical equipment by editing the specification
accordingly.
