CAMPUS DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS ORIGIN: FEBRUARY 2015 REVISED: MARCH 2018

CAMPUS DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS ORIGIN: FEBRUARY 2015 REVISED: MARCH 2018 The mission of Florida Polytechnic University is to prepare 21st century learners in advanced fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to become innovative problem-solvers and high-tech professionals through interdisciplinary teaching, leading-edge research and collaborative local, regional and global partnerships.

Most agreements are based on a fixed fee and will be negotiated at the outset of the project. Alternate scope may be addressed in the initial documentation of the agreement. Section 002100: Instruction to Bidders – General bid contracts for construction will be handled with a modified agreement based the premises of AIA A-101 for “General Contractor” (Fixed lump sum contract) or AIA A-102 for “Construction Manager” (Cost plus a fee for a Guaranteed Maximum Price). Section 002200: Conditions of the Contract - The Florida Poly “General Conditions of the Contract for Construction” (AIA A-201) and the “Supplementary Conditions of the Contract” (AIA A-503) are provided in separate documents, so named. Section 002600: Procurement – The Florida Polytechnic University is mandated to take advantage of tax savings wherever possible, and will expect to enter into owner direct purchase agreements for permanent additions to construction projects, exceeding $25,000 in purchase price. Section 002500: The General Contractor or Construction Manager will conduct pre-bid and pre- construction meetings for all major activity sections of the contract agreements. The Owner reserves the right to attend any pre-bid or pre-construction meetings and must be notified of date, time and location.

The guidelines included in this section are State or Federal mandated requirements, SUS or University Policies, and/or University conventions or preference. Many of the University’s various facilities management and/or planning offices have or will develop their own sets of Division 0 and 1 specification sections generally referred to as “non-technical” or “front end” specifications) for use on construction projects they administer. These various sets of “non-technical” specifications are considered to be supplemental standards regardless of whether they are contained within a set of supplemental standards or issued separately. • ACCESS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES All new construction and renovation projects shall comply with the Florida Accessibility Code for building construction. Temporary entrances and exits must meet Florida Building Code requirements. • BUILDING AND SITE STANDARDS A new campus building must be designed with all sides having the appearance of being the “front” of the building, with each façade oriented and linked to surrounding campus buildings or features. • BUILDING SITING, ORIENTATION AND LINKAGES Overall, building siting, orientation and linkage should seek to preserve and maintain open spaces; provide access for emergency service and disabled persons vehicles and respect adjacencies to other facilities and the natural environment. Building sites should carefully consider the creation of quadrangles and the relationship to existing buildings and pedestrian pathways to create pleasant and functional open spaces. Temporary buildings are defined as structures that provide temporary support to programs in need of or in the process of constructing new space. These structures may be anticipated for use during a period of 12 months, be outside the core of campus, and in no case shall their use extend beyond a period of 5 years. • ARRANGEMENT OF ANCILLARY USES ON SITE In order to minimize storm damages and also emphasize the design characteristics of buildings, open spaces & full tree canopies, electrical and telecommunication lines should be located underground. These utilities should be placed at grade within the building or in an exterior location screened from public view. Any above grade utility equipment such as electrical transformers that cannot be reasonably located underground, should be screened from view. • REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS See the Florida Polytechnic University - Administration Manual for Building Code and Safety attached. C:\Users\Dangleton\Desktop\01 - Campus Design Standards\Campus Standards\Superceded Documents\Division 1 General Requirements_031318.docx 2 The purpose of this program is to implement Building Code Administration for Florida Polytechnic University Capital Improvement Program. Such regulated practice of building code compliance is necessary, in the interest of public health and safety, which shall be provided through compliance of all adopted codes, statues and standards. The program is administered by the Building Code Official (BCO), through documents reviews and construction inspections. Building Code Official is required by Florida Statue section 240.209 (3) (p), regulated by Florida Statue chapter 553 part VII, and delegated by FAC rule 6c-14.020(2) and Chancellor’s memorandum CM-N-22.00-12/00. Categories of code administration personnel are established in Florida Statute Chapter 368 part XII. Florida law and regulations require that all new buildings constructed and modifications to existing buildings be reviewed and inspected for compliance with adopted codes and standards. This policy requires that all University entities, conducting building construction, repair or modifications, submit construction documents (drawings and/or specifications) for review, obtain a building permit for construction which, after proper inspection and completion, is certified for occupancy or re- occupancy. • RESPONSIBILITIES A qualified Building Code Official has been appointed to manage the Building Code Administration program. The Building Code Official is licensed by the Department of Professional and Business Regulation as a Building Code Official. The Building Code Official administers, code compliance, the documents review and construction inspection process. After reviewing the documents, comments, if any, are returned with appropriate references. A letter of “code compliance” is issued after final review and approval of 100% construction documents and upon resolution of all outstanding comments. The General Contractor (GC) or the Construction Manager (CM) shall submit to the Building Code Official a request for a building permit. A building permit shall be issued upon satisfactory completion of the application process, receipt and review of all necessary documents and permit fees if required are paid in full. Other permits may be required and paid from project funds of the contractor including but not limited to: SWFWMD, FDEP (Polk Co. Health Department), and Elevator Inspections. • PROCEDURES Design professionals prepare construction documents in accordance the latest official adopted editions of all applicable codes. The Florida Polytechnic University Building Code Official reviews such documents for code compliance and returns “comments” or a “letter of code compliance”, as applicable. The general contractor or construction manager applies for building permit with the proper fee. The Building Code Official reviews the “building permit” application and issues a permit if all information submitted is acceptable and complete and fees, if required, are paid in full. The general contractor or construction manager requests and Building Code Official performs inspections in accordance with all Florida Codes.

All utilities and sizes will
