UFC 3-201-01 1 April 2018 Change 2, 1 July 2019 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 most 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 Center (AFCEC) 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. 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://dod.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. AUTHORIZED BY: LARRY D.

Description: UFC 3-201-01 provides civil engineering criteria and best practices for site development, grading, storm drainage, and pavements as they relate to project development. This UFC maximizes the use of industry and Government standards. This revision updates technical requirements, references, and maximizes uniformity among Tri-Service requirements. Referenced civil engineering requirements and best practices can be found in Appendices A and B. Reasons for Document: • Establishes technical requirements by maximizing the use of industry standards to meet DOD requirements. • Revise format in accordance with UFC 1-300-01. • Reorganizes the content to align with industry standards. • Coordinates criteria requirements in other core and specialty UFC criteria documents. • Address multiple criteria change requests. • Includes a new Appendix C with a complete list of acronyms used in this UFC. Impact: • This revision will have minimal impacts on design cost. Unification Issues: There are no unification issues.
