Introduction
Miguel Morales, NASA

 

  • Welcomed everyone to the meeting.

 

Congressional Inquiry

Miguel Morales, NASA

 

  • Distributed the letter from Construction Sciences Research Foundation, Inc. to Senator Mikulski.
  • Distributed a draft response letter for everyone to review.
  • Stated that the response letter does not set a date for when the feature to support alternate paragraph numbering will be incorporated into SpecsIntact.
  • When alternate paragraph numbering is implemented it will not include a conversion utility.  It will require manually tagging the specifications to conform to the SpecsIntact format.
  • The response letter will be sent to NASA Headquarters Washington, D.C.

 

UFGS Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

Bill Brodt, NASA

 

  • NASA Headquarters, Air Force, and Army Corp of Engineers have signed the MOU.  The MOU is at Naval Facilities Engineering (NAVFAC) Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

 

  • When it returns to NASA Headquarters, it will have to be signed again because of the changes made during the approval process.

 

Criteria Change Request (CCR) System / MasterFormat 2004
Jim Quinn, USACE

 
  • CCR is a system for recommending changes to agency criteria documents.
  • The system was developed and is maintained by the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL), located in Champagne Illinois.
  • The CCR is open to the public; anyone can submit requested changes to Criteria.
  • If the request is approved, the Database Manager changes and republishes the document.
  • The Database Manager is responsible for closing the request.

 

Update on NASA Joining UFGS/UFGS Uniformity
Frank Der, NASA

 

  • NASA is performing a gap analysis to identify and incorporate into the UFGS as text revisions any unique NASA requirements.
  • When NASA’s specifications are added to the UFGS database, NASA will delete the corresponding NASA.
  • For NASA’s UFGS specifications, NASA will designate a NASA employee as the Technical Proponent, and an SGS employee as the Technical Representative.  Frank Der will work out these details with Bill East.

 

ACTION:   InDyne will send Carl Kersten NASA’s recommendations for updating the UFGS specifications, as determined during the gap analysis.  Carl Kersten will execute the revisions on the specifications, and then place them in the UFGS database.
