PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 REFERENCES
NOTE: This paragraph is used to list the publications cited in the text of
the guide specification. The publications are referred to in the text by basic
designation only and listed in this paragraph by organization, designation,
date, and title.
Use the Reference Wizard's Check Reference feature when you add a RID outside
of the Section's Reference Article to automatically place the reference in the
Reference Article. Also use the Reference Wizard's Check Reference feature
to update the issue dates.
References not used in the text will automatically be deleted from this section
of the project specification when you choose to reconcile references in the
publish print process.
The publications listed below form a part of this specification to the extent referenced. The publications are
referred to within the text by the basic designation only.
[ASTM INTERNATIONAL (ASTM)ASTM A 167(1999; R 2004) Standard Specification for Stainless and Heat-Resisting Chromium-Nickel Steel Plate, Sheet, and Strip][INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS (IEEE)IEEE C2(2007; Errata 2007; INT 2008) National Electrical Safety Code][NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA)NFPA 70(2007; AMD 1 2008) National Electrical Code - 2008 Edition][U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD)MIL-DTL-28840(Rev B; Supp 1) Connectors, Electrical, Circular Threaded, High Density, High Shock, Shipboard, Class DMIL-DTL-28840/12(Rev D) Connectors, Electrical, Screw Threads, High Density High Shock, Shipboard, Crimp Contacts Receptacle, Mounting Box, Classes D and DS]1.2 RELATED REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Coordinate with Sections 33 71 02.00 20 UNDERGROUND UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION
AND DISTRIBUTION, Section 33 71 01 OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION, 26
05 33 DOCKSIDE POWER CONNECTIONS STATIONS, and 33 82 00 TELECOMMUNICAITONS OUTSIDE
PLANT. If manholes, handholes, and vaults are required for the project, show
them on plans and specify them in the appropriate specifications section.
Section 26 00 00.00 20 BASIC ELECTRICAL MATERIALS AND METHODS applies to this section with additions and modifications
specified herein.
1.3 TELEPHONE SERVICE
NOTE: Indicate where the cable system is to be cross connected to the Naval
Station system. If a waterfront cross connection facility is provided, pier
cables will be terminated at that facility. This specification envisions that
the ship to shore receptacles cable will be isolated from the pier cable at
the pier telecommunication outlet assembly and that the pier cable can be isolated
from the Naval Station system at a cross connect module ashore between the pier
and the mainframe. The mainframe and other telephone equipment are not specified
in this section.
Telephone service to the pier shall be terminated at the [mainframe] [or] [waterfront telephone cabinet] of the
facility. [Terminate telephone cable at the mainframe.] [Telephone cable shall be terminated within the facility
by others. Provide sufficient slack in cable so that each pair can be neatly routed and terminated in the telephone
cabinet.]
1.4 SUBMITTALS
NOTE: Review submittal description (SD) definitions in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL
PROCEDURES and edit the following list to reflect only the submittals required
for the project. Submittals should be kept to the minimum required for adequate
quality control.
A “G” following a submittal item indicates that the submittal requires Government
approval. Some submittals are already marked with a “G”. Only delete an existing
“G” if the submittal item is not complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor’s
Quality Control system. Only add a “G” if the submittal is sufficiently important
or complex in context of the project.
For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects, a code of up
to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the "G"
designation to indicate the approving authority. Codes for Army projects using
the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO"
for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District
Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for Resident Office; and "PO" for Project
Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy, Air Force,
and NASA projects.
Choose the first bracketed item for Navy, Air Force and NASA projects, or choose
the second bracketed item for Army projects.
Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a "G" designation
are [for Contractor Quality Control approval.][for information only. When used, a designation following the
"G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.] The following shall
be submitted in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:
SD-02 Shop Drawings
Pier telecommunication outlet assemblies[; G][; G, [_____]]
SD-03 Product Data
Pier telephone receptacles[; G][; G, [_____]]
SD-06 Test Reports
Acceptance tests[; G][; G, [_____]]
Submit within 3 working days after the tests for each segment of construction are completed.
