CANCELLED UFC 3-501-01 February 3, 2010 Replaces 3-500-10 (DRAFT) and 3-500-10N (DRAFT) Including Change 1, July 28, 2011 FOREWORD The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD(AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.) Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the more stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable. UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change Request (CCR). The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below. UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following source: • Whole Building Design Guide web site http://www.wbdg.org/. Hard copies of UFC printed from electronic media should be checked against the current electronic version prior to use to ensure that they are current. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ JAMES C.

Draft UFC 3-500-10 superseded Draft UFC 3-500-10N, Electrical Engineering. These documents were made mandatory \1\ requirements /1/ by the Navy and published on the Navy Design-Build Master (NDBM) website at http://www.wbdg.org/ndbm/design_guidance.php. • UFC 3-501-03N, Electrical Engineering Preliminary Considerations. Description: This UFC 3-501-01 provides electrical engineering design and analysis criteria for design-build and design-bid-build projects. It is organized to provide the top- level \1\ minimum mandatory electrical requirements /1/ and refers to other UFCs as appropriate. Reasons for Document: • Provides technical requirements for \1\/1/ electrical system design criteria. • Establishes design analysis requirements in support of design activities. • Defines minimum requirements for design drawings in terms of drawing types and content. • Provides links to related material in other UFCs. Impact: There are negligible cost impacts associated with this UFC. However, the following benefits should be realized. CANCELLED • Standardized guidance has been prepared to assist electrical engineers in the development of the plans, specifications, calculations, and Design/Build Request for Proposals (RFP). • This UFC coordinates with all electrical-related UFCs and provides \1\ requirements consistent /1/ with the other electrical-related UFCs.
