Government funds, the ACO may allow the contractor to proceed with construction or building rehabilitation projects only upon prior specific approval of the cognizant division. When coordination, concurrence, or approval of Hq USAF, and/or other departments or agencies of the Government are required or necessary prior to approval or release of construction and/or rehabilitation projects, the cognizant division will secure such coordination, concurrence or approval from Deputy Chief of Staff, Systems and Logistics, Hq USAF through Hq AFSC. All concurrences, coordinations, provals, plans, or projects issued by the cognizant division, will be in writing. However, nothing herein is intended to modify the procedures established under Part 1012 of this subchapter, "Labor."

ap

(f) Emergency repairs, not exceeding $50,000, will not require the foregoing approvals. This will permit the immediate processing of repairs of an emergency nature. All such repairs must be reported, in detail, by the administrative contracting officer, to the cognizant division at the earliest possible time, regardless of funding conditions.

(g) All facilities contracts will include in the schedule thereof provisions necessary to implement the requirements of this subpart and for the furnishing of all necessary engineering, technical, operational and other documents and data required to successfully operate and maintain the facilities procured thereunder. (Also see § 1013.2505 (e) (1).)

(h) Construction and rehabilitation requirements will be included in the industrial facilities program and will be submitted in accordance with § 1013.2403 of this part as amended.

[27 F.R. 11769, Nov. 29, 1962, as amended at 28 F.R. 4351, May 2, 1963; 30 F.R. 13636, Oct. 27, 1965]

§ 1013.2504-1 Capital type rehabilitation (nonrecurring maintenance). All requirements for nonrecurring maintenance (CTR) will be included in the industrial facilities program and will be submitted according to § 1013.2403 of this part. The expected future usage of the real property concerned and the necessity for protection of Government property will be major factors in development and approval of such projects. [30 F.R. 13636, Oct. 27, 1965]

§ 1013.2504-2 Minor projects.

Normally minor projects will not be assigned a project number. In such cases local building codes will be complied with as a matter of policy. In cases requiring close technical support, or coordination under interservice agreements, a minor project number will be assigned. In such cases, technical supervision will be provided.

[30 F.R. 13636, Oct. 27, 1965] § 1013.2504-3

Major projects.

Those projects classified as major projects by the cognizant division will require engineering evaluation and approval, and will be assigned a major project number. Major projects will be accomplished by Air Force contractors in four phases, as follows:

(a) First phase. Selection of the architect-engineering (A/E) firm to prepare drawings and specifications and to include supervision of construction. Use of an A/E firm rather than the contractor's engineering force is mandatory for design and supervision of projects costing over $50,000 unless waived by the ACO acting on advice of the responsible Air Force supervising engineer.

(b) Second phase. Preparation of preliminary drawings (prepared on 28 x 40 inch sheets), outline specifications, cost estimates and design analysis of the work to be accomplished under each project. The drawings and specifications will be prepared so as to avoid to the maximum practicable extent the inclusion of restrictive features which would tend to require furnishing the products of specific manufacturers (see §§ 1.304 and 1.1201 of this title and § 1001.1201 of this subchapter). These preliminary drawings and outline specifications will cover the following construction features:

(1) Plot plan of construction site and construction orientation.

(2) General building configuration and dimensions (plans and elevations).

(3) Soil conditions and bearing values. (4) Foundations (isolated, spread, combined, continuous, mat or raft, pile (type)).

(5) Type superstructure (wood, steel, prefab, and others).

(6) Type roof and decking. (7) Type floor.

(8) Type and extent of electrical installations (primary supply and secondary distribution).

(9) Type and extent of other utilities and services.

(11) Type and extent of mechanical and nonmechanical building installations required.

(12) Type and extent of site preparation.

(13) Number of employees in each work area (manufacturing, assembly, office, etc.).

(14) Cost estimate of construction (line items breakdown as: land, property, improvements, structures, mechanical building installations, and others).

(15) Design analysis providing a description of the facility, design assumptions, design factors used, type and character of materials, and contractor's options, if any to be employed.

Two bound ozalid copies with the project identification and number on the binding, will be forwarded to the cognizant division. The division will perform engineering and cost evaluations of the proposal. One marked copy will be returned, through channels, to the contractor with technical review comments which will include authorization from the facilities contracting officer to proceed with the third phase.

(c) Third phase. Upon approval of the preliminary drawings and outline specifications by the cognizant division, the preparation of detailed plans and specifications will be accomplished. Two reproducible copies of such detailed plans and specifications will be forwarded to the cognizant division for review. Sufficient space will be allowed on each reproducible drawing of the final plans and the cover sheet of the specifications to provide for the following signature blocks:

Prepared by:

(Representative for firm doing architect and engineering work)

Recommended by:

(Representative for contractor operating AF plant) Approved by:

(Air Force supervising engineer-cognizant division) Approved by:

(Air Force facilities contracting officercognizant division)

One reproducible copy will be retained in the cognizant division, the other will be returned to the contractor through established channels. After approval by the cognizant division the contractor may advertise for bids and initiate construction. A bid tabulation will accompany all initial construction progress reports. Bids will be opened publicly at the time and place indicated on the invitation for bid.

(d) Fourth phase-construction. Change orders issued by the contractor during construction affecting previously approved plans and specifications will be reviewed by the cognizant division as they occur, and if authorized, will be approved by the appropriate facilities contracting officer to whom the facilities contract is assigned.

[27 F.R. 11763, Nov. 29, 1962, as amended at 30 F.R. 13637, Oct. 27, 1965]

§ 1013.2505 Inspection and acceptance.

(a) The cognizant division will perform periodic technical inspections of construction and/or building rehabilitation projects to insure compliance with plans and specifications approved by that division.

(b) Acceptance of the completed project for the Air Force will be the responsibility of the cognizant division.

(c) The only exceptions to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, will be by direction from Hq AFSC. (e.g., Interservice General Agreement dated April 1, 1961).

(d) The AFPRO having administration of the contract will monitor the accomplishment of industrial construction and rehabilitation projects, the submittal of progress reports, and acceptance of completed construction.

(e) At the time of completion of construction a physical inspection of the project will take place. Deficiencies in portions of the construction work required by the contract or lack of specific items of equipment need not necessarily delay the transfer of usable new con

struction. The completed work for all major construction projects will be documented by the prime contractor and the certification and acceptance will be evidenced by a receipt containing the following summary data:

(1) Transfer of construction:

(i) Station, name, and location of the industrial facility being expanded.

(ii) Serial number, Air Force contract number, supplement, etc.

(iii) Job number/project.

Include an agreement for correction of deficiencies, with a time limit in agreement with the contract terms; a certification that deficiencies will be corrected as an integral part of the contract; and date of final acceptance inspection.

(g) Final approved cost of the project. (vi) Certification: It is certified that the construction listed hereon is according to maps, drawings, specifications, and change orders approved by the authorized representative of the Air Force, except for the deficiencies listed: Certified by:

(a) (Architect-engineer.)
(b) (Air Force contractor.)
Accepted by:

(1) (Air Force supervising engineer.)
(2) (Air Force facilities project

officer.)

(3) (Air Force facilities contracting officer.)

(f) All necessary documents, including originals or copies of all records and maps, complete reproducible "as-built” drawings (cloth, mylar or equal) and specifications corrected to show all changes from the originals, including supporting utilities, operating manuals both for individual items and complex installations, leases, contracts, guarantees given by the contractor, subcontractors and material vendors, estimated costs and other pertinent data required for accountability records and for protection of Air Force interests and investments will be retained in the pro

tective custody of the facilities contractor for the Air Force. If any of these documents and data are not available, the fact will be noted, together with a statement as to date each item will be obtained. AFPRO will forward a list of such documents, and five copies of the prepared receipt to the cognizant division for signatural approval.

(g) An executed copy of the receipt referred to in paragraph (e) of this section will be furnished the AF prime contractor.

[27 F.R. 11763, Nov. 29, 1962, as amended at 30 F.R. 13637, Oct. 27, 1965; 31 F.R. 2687, Feb. 12, 1966]

(a) AFPRO will be responsible for insuring the accomplishment and submission of industrial construction progress reports, by prime contractors to the cognizant division for all "major" construction projects.

(b) Industrial construction progress reports will be submitted, beginning as soon after the opening and analysis of the construction bid as possible and before construction is begun, then monthly thereafter until the project is completed. Progress reports will be submitted within 15 calendar days after the close of monthly reporting period and will cover construction activity for the preceding month. Two copies of the reports will be submitted. The reports will be no smaller than 8 x 101⁄2 inches and no larger than 81⁄2 x 15 inches, or folded to these sizes.

(c) The reports will be of two types: (1) Initial report will contain, but is not limited to, the following information:

(c) Submitted for bids (date).

(ix) A bid tabulation and analysis sheet marked to indicate the selected contractor, and any other appropriate comments.

(x) Date construction contract is to be awarded.

(xi) Type of contract (FFP, CPFF, other).

(xii) Explanation of why contract was not awarded to low bidder (if applicable).

(xiii) Signature of responsible offcial (Contractor's).

(2) The monthly reports will contain, but not be limited to, the following information:

(1) A short narrative by the supervising engineer explaining the work progress or lack of progress. Problem areas where Air Force assistance might be beneficial should be included.

(ii) A short explanation of the funds which show the amount of the basic construction contract and change orders with appropriate increases and decreases. A short explanation of the changes.

(iii) When applicable, a statement showing construction time extensions, with a short explanation for each one.

(iv) Photographs of significant steps in the construction. (Not necessarily required with each report.)

(v) The final progress report will be so identified, and will contain the A/E summation of project.

NOTE: Forms are not specifically required in order that full use may be made of the reports submitted by the engineering firm supervising the construction. No locally designed forms will be established in connection with the reports prescribed herein. Each of the above types of reports should include items of special interest or importance to the specific construction job. Due to the variety of construction jobs in progress at any given time, it is considered appropriate to depend upon the supervising engineer to divide the individual projects into their important components. Industrial reporting requirements set forth in this instruction are subject to review and approval by the Bureau of Budget under the Federal Reports Act. BOB approval 21-R-138 is assigned to this report.

[27 F.R. 11763, Nov. 29, 1962, as amended at 30 F.R. 13637, Oct. 27, 1965; 31 F.R. 2687, Feb. 12, 1966]

This subpart sets forth the policies and procedures for acquisition and disposal of industrial real property.

§ 1013.2601 Applicability.

Applies to Hq AMC, Directorate of Procurement and Production, AMA's AF depots, major air commands (ConUS), participating in AMC Industrial Facilities Expansion Programs.

§ 1013.2602 Definitions.

For the purpose of this subpart the following terms will have the meaning set forth below.

(a) "Industrial real property." Industrial real property is that defined in § 1013.101-64 which is acquired or utilized for the establishment or expansion of public or private industrial plants, in support of procurement programs.

(b) "Fee title." Absolute ownership clear of any conditions, limitations, or restrictions. It is the highest estate known to the law and implies complete dominion over the land.

(c) "License or permit." A privilege, revocable at will, to use the property of the licensor, for a specified purpose and period of time without possessing or acquiring any estate therein. Generally a permit is the proper instrument when the right to use real property (of another Government agency) is to be acquired; in other cases the license is used.

(d) "Easement." A conveyance of an interest in real property for a specific purpose. It may be granted for a term of years or in perpetuity. The fact that the grantor is not excluded from such use of his property as will not interfere with the grantee's use, distinguishes the easement from the lease.

(e) "Lease." A conveyance of a possessory interest in real property for a term of years, revocable at will or as otherwise provided in the instrument, and reserving rent or other consideration.

(f) "Transfer." A means by which Government-owned real property can be transferred between Government agencies with or without reimbursement.

(g) "Disposal." Any action to relinquish rights to property, under the control of the Air Force, to the control of some other agency or private party. § 1013.2603 General.

The Air Force may acquire real property or interests therein only to the extent that it is authorized to do so by specific statutes conferring this authority. In general, the Air Force is authorized to acquire industrial real property for purposes of expanding public and private plants only in support of aircraft and related procurement. When authorized, the acquisition of industrial real property or interests therein may be accomplished by purchase, donation, lease, condemnation or otherwise. Property may also be acquired by the Air Force by transfer or use permit from other Government agencies. Disposal of real estate, in general, is subject to the provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended, and the delegations of authority made thereunder by the Administrator of General Services Administration to the Department of Defense. By interservice agreement the Chief of Engineers (Department of the Army) acts as agent for the Department of the Air Force for acquisition and disposition of real estate generally. Also the Chief of Engineers acts as custodian of legal records, i.e., deeds, titles, leases, etc., pertaining to AF industrial real property. § 1013.2603–1 Approval of directives for acquisition or disposal.

(a) Authority has been delegated to the Director and Deputy Director of Procurement and Production, Hq USAF, to approve directives on behalf of the Air Force to the Chief of Engineers, Department of the Army, for acquisition or disposition of any interest in industrial real property, including acquisition or disposition of an interest in such property by transfer between the Air Force and other military departments or other federal agencies. Authority to approve such directives has been delegated below the level of the Directorate of Procurement and Production, Hq USAF, only in certain minor cases relating to disposal of industrial real property (§ 1013.2607-1).

(b) Certain acquisitions and disposals of real property are subject to prior approval of the Department of Defense and the Senate and House Armed Services Committees under the provisions of DOD directive 4165.12, 8 March 1954, and 10 U. S. C. 2662 (formerly 40 U. S. C. 551). The following acquisitions and disposals require prior approval:

(1) An acquisition of fee title to any real property if the estimated price is more than $25,000.

(2) A lease of any real property to the United States if the estimated annual rental is more than $25,000.

(3) A lease of real property owned by the United States if estimated annual rental is more than $25,000.

(4) A transfer of real property owned by the United States to another federal agency or another military department, or to a State, if the estimated value is more than $25,000.

(5) A report of excess real property owned by the United States to a disposal agency if the estimated value is more than $25,000.

§ 1013.2604 Policy governing acquisition of industrial real property.

Only the minimum amount of real property required to secure an industrial productive capacity sufficient to meet the needs of the Air Force will be acquired. Real property will not be acquired from private ownership unless the available real property currently under the control of military departments or other Government agencies is inadequate to satisfy the Air Force's industrial requirements. In utilization of Government-owned property current requirements will, in the absence of unusual circumstances, be given preference over future or mobilization needs. Unless over-riding considerations of urgency decree otherwise, real property should be acquired by whichever of the following methods will satisfy the industrial requirement in the most economical manner and create the least impact on the civilian economy.

(a) Acquisition of fee title to land, inclusive of all mineral rights and improvements, will be considered to be in the best interest of the Government where one or more of the following conditions exist:

(1) Proposed construction to be placed on the land by the Government has an estimated cost equal to or in excess of the current market value of the land.
