Facilities Design Standard - Requirements Common to All Disciplines and Projects

Section	Item revision/addition	Previous language
A. Safe Access -> Roof and Building Envelope	All new buildings, major renovations, and roof replacements shall provide a new or updated Safe Access Plan for both roof and envelope safe access. The Safe Access Plan shall be submitted to the UW Facilities Safety Department and Engineering Services for review no later than 30% Design submittal. All new building fall safety systems shall implement “passive fall protection” (i.e. parapets, railings, guardrails, etc) of 42” minimum and shall provide at least 12ft wide unobstructed access for a 35,000lb lift at minimum at the building exterior perimeter for envelope access. Any deviation from this standard (i.e. life lines, roof anchors, and/or davit systems) shall be submitted as part of a FDS Variance Request. Roof anchors may be required in addition to “passive fall protection” to provide over-the-side envelope access. All proposed roof anchors, davits, lifts, etc shall be included in the Safe Access Plan. Major renovations and roof replacements may require a combination of the systems noted above to provide roof and envelope safe access. All fall arrest and safe access design shall adhere to the Fall Protection Program Manual PDF on the EH&S Fall Protection webpage.	Fall safety systems for new buildings, major renovations, and roof replacement projects shall implement “passive fall protection” (i.e. parapets, railings, guardrails) of 42” or higher.  Any deviation from this standard (i.e. life lines and roof anchors) shall be vetted and will need approval from UW Facilities senior leadership.  In some cases, even with “passive fall protection” systems, roof anchors for over-the-side work may still be needed for window washers, glaziers, and building envelope repair and maintenance.  Roof anchors may be avoided if there is unobstructed access for a lift all around the perimeter of the building.  Lifts should be able to reach the top of exterior walls.  All proposals for roof anchors or lift access around the perimeter of the building shall be vetted and approved by a representative from UW facilities senior leadership.
A. Safe Access -> Roof and Building Envelope	Coordinate building envelope maintenance equipment with UW Facilities Equipment Operations Shop: including but not limited to swing stage anchors/loads and fall arrest anchors, etc. at pre-design or like phase to accommodate equipment that is often used to drive around the building to perform maintenance.	None
A. Safe Access -> Maintenance Access Plan for Hazardous Spaces	Some examples of proper safe access design: Locate equipment and accessories above and in ceilings such that ladder placement avoids interference from casework, lab benches, sinks, adjacent walls, or lab equipment.  Give consideration to ceiling tiles immovable due to sprinkler heads, light fixtures, or other ceiling mounted devices.	None
C. Coordination	7. Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical:  Vibration, noise, & exhaust – Careful consideration must be taken when determining the location of equipment that produces noise, vibrations and exhaust. Products or processes that create hazardous fumes, or excessive or offensive noise may be restricted.	None
E. Preferred Manufacturers	Spare parts inventories, prior experiences of the University, and staff training on the operation and maintenance of sophisticated equipment may restrict the list of suppliers to three or less, even though more suppliers with similar equipment may exist.  Typical industry standard equipment may not always be appropriate for use on University projects.	None
E. Preferred Manufacturers	Any components or parts with lead times exceeding 8 weeks and/or requiring bulk quantity batch orders shall have additional attic stock provided per the direction of the UWF Maintenance zone manager.	None
I. Major Renovations	Include an evaluation for building system renovation projects which describes the condition of the building systems, variances from present codes, and identifies spare system capacity or system deficiencies and opportunities for improving energy efficiency.  The design team’s mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, and architectural disciplines participate jointly in this evaluation. The abandonment of existing equipment and material in place is not acceptable.  Conserve space as much as possible.	None

A. General -> Montlake Landfill	For projects located east of Montlake Boulevard, all design proposals shall address specific local challenges and must be approved by Engineering Services. Key concerns include but are not limited to settlement issues, which can impact the slope of piping. This is particularly problematic around connections between individual buildings and central campus utility systems. Consultants shall discuss any anticipated issues with ES prior to approval.	None
N. Ground Disturbance and Utility Locates	Prior to any ground disturbance at the UW Seattle Campus, it is mandatory to initiate a utility locate by calling 811. For inquiries regarding this process, contact the Building and Utility Shutdowns and Utility Locates Manager at 206-543-7158 or kd79coop@uw.edu. Buried facilities may be present under roads, sidewalks, lawns, and planting beds. A utility locate is required to ensure any publicly or University owned underground lines are identified and marked, enabling safe excavation and avoidance of the lines. This practice is crucial to prevent not only damage to utility lines, but also property damage and personal injuries that could result from breaking a line. Compliance with locate requirements is legally mandated for all excavation activities, ranging from planting bulbs or flowers to large-scale excavations for building foundations. The University of Washington adheres to the WA State Dig Law and Industry Best Practices. Additional mandatory protocols include: • Maintaining an up-to-date LIVE utility map for the project. • Ensuring that shutoffs for all systems potentially impacted by excavation activities remain accessible. In the event of any utility strike, regardless of severity, immediate notification is required – contact the Seattle Campus Building and Utility Shutdowns and Utility Locates Manager. Contractors and vendors must also notify their University of Washington contract manager. Detailed Process Overview: 1. Locate request is submitted to 811, generating a time-stamped ticket. 2. Ticket is sent to all relevant utilities and facilities within the defined locate polygons, which include the main campus, UW Hospital, ICA, west campus, among others. 3. If a locate is necessary the appropriate shop or utility provider is notified. This may include the UW High Voltage Shop, Irrigation Shop, BIT, Heavy Equipment Shop, Zone Electricians, Shop 24, construction and project managers, and the UW locate contractor. 4. The UW locate contractor marks the UW water distribution, sewer, storm drains, low voltage, chilled water, steam, and natural gas systems. 5. Following marking, the Building and Utility Shutdowns and Utility Locates Manager verifies at the job site that all University facilities are correctly marked. This completes UW’s responsibility as a facility owner. 6. The ticket is updated to reflect the completion of marking for UW facilities. Note that additional utilities such as Seattle City Light, Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle Department of Transportation, Puget Sound Energy, Metro, Lumen, and numerous fiber providers may also be present on our property.
