GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY. Purpose The purpose of this DESIGN MANUAL is to identify and establish technical requirements and instructions for all technical products and services produced by or for the Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, (USAESCH, aka Huntsville Center or CEHNC), including but not limited to the preparation of facility designs, specifications, DESIGN analyses, cost estimates, scopes of work/performance work statements, systems engineering plans and associated CADD/BIM/geographic information systems (GIS) standards, regardless of the method of project delivery.

9 Applicability This MANUAL applies to architect/engineers (A-Es), engineering service contractors, other government agencies and in-house personnel involved with technical products and services for which USAESCH is responsible. The procedures and instructions in this MANUAL will be referenced in all architect-engineer (A-E) and engineering services contracts where applicable. In the event of conflict between this MANUAL and the contract documents, the contract will take precedence. Conflicts will be brought to the immediate attention of the USAESCH Contracting Officer (KO) and project manager (PM). In the event of conflict between this document and good DESIGN practice the contractor will notify the KO and PM for resolution. In-house personnel will bring such conflicts to the attention of their supervisors, for resolution at the Division Chief or Director of Engineering level, as required. Use of this document and adherence to its requirements in no way relieves the contractor of any of his or her professional, legal, or other responsibility to deliver a safe, functional, useable DESIGN that complies with all relevant codes and standards.

10 Each SOW/PWS, whether architect-engineer, DESIGN -build, or work-plan based, should require compliance with the applicable portions of this MANUAL . The following template language is recommended for use: The Huntsville Engineering and Support Center DESIGN MANUAL ( ) is an important guidance document for doing business with CEHNC and contains technical information, detailed requirements, and quality expectations supplemental to this SOW. The DESIGN MANUAL can be found at: RELATIONSHIP OF THIS MANUAL TO THE USAESCH QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. This MANUAL is a Level 4 document primarily supporting Level 2 Key Processes 01 ( DESIGN ) and 02 (Construction). To a lesser extent, it also supports the other three Key Processes, 03 (Services), 04 (Supplies), and 05 (Acquisition). As a Level 4 document, this MANUAL is binding only on ED personnel, and on contractors when referenced in the contract documents. References herein to other organizations such as Project Management and Contracting are only intended to depict how ED should interact with these organizations and for informational purposes.
