**This notification includes the update of four Construction Standard
Specifications.**

The four Division 1 construction standard specifications listed below
were updated by a specification writer under a contract with KG
Associates (Ken Guthrie). The updates where made with the goal of
updating the specs to the most current commercial and industry
practices. Phase 2, which has not yet started, is to add new division 1
spec as makes sense for Sandia. The preliminary review of the Phase 1
spec update was completed by a Sandia team (Jim Dawson, Ed Sanchez, John
Harding, Flo Lucero, Ralph Wrons, Cyndi Silva) and corrected by Ken
Guthrie per the Sandia team\'s comments.

As directed by management, all of the Facilities department managers,
project managers, systems engineers, SDR\'s and buyers were given three
weeks to provide Q/A review comments. The specs were then updated per
the QA comments received.

The updated division 1 specifications include an instruction sheet at
the beginning of every spec. that provides information to the designers.
Noted below is additional information specific to each specification
section.

**[Section 01330, "Submittal Procedures" (Revised
08/01/03)]{.underline}**

In addition to a complete rewrite of the specification, the section
number and name were changed to better match industry and commercial
practices. (Old number and name: 01300, "Descriptive Submittals")

**[Cost impacts:]{.underline}** A cost reduction is expected since the
specification was updated to reflect commercial/industry terminology and
current commercial practices.

Harding, Ed Sanchez, Ralph Wrons, Cyndi Silva, Ken Guthrie

**[Section 01561, "Temporary Fencing" (Revised 08/01/03)]{.underline}**

In addition to a complete rewrite of the specification, the section
number and name were changed to better match industry and commercial
practices. Note that this specification is to be used where security
fencing is not required. (Old number and name: 01531, "Temporary
Fencing")

**[Cost impacts:]{.underline}** A cost reduction is expected since the
specification was updated to reflect commercial/industry terminology and
current commercial practices.

Harding, Ed Sanchez, Ralph Wrons, Cyndi Silva, Ken Guthrie

**[Section 01563, "Dust Control" (Revised 08/01/03)]{.underline}**

In addition to a complete rewrite of the specification, the section
number was changed to better match industry and commercial practices.

**Special Note: All of the Facilities Standard Construction
Specifications that reference the above noted specifications have been

title.**

other standards documents are available on the Facilities Standards web
site at [\<\<<http://www.sandia.gov/engstds/>\>\>]{.underline}

The A/E\'s and construction contractors on our distribution list will be
notified within two weeks by separate e-mail of the changes.
