Code - Alaska District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
DESIGN CODES
Information extracted from AR 415-15, Army Military Construction Program Development and Execution, paragraph 5-4.
Design directives authorize various stages of project design, indicate project scope and cost, and provide special instructions for the design of the project. The design execution process is managed, in part, by using design codes. Since design funds are centrally managed, only HQUSACE (CEMP-M) has the authority to issue a design code to the appropriate USACE MSC or district.
Design Codes are defined as follows:
Code Explanation
0 No Design Authority
Projects/Sub-projects loaded on the AMPRS database that has received no authority to proceed with any work. Also use for studies or activities not requiring design authority or where no follow-on construction/O&M is anticipated.
(Note: Code 0 is not recognized in AR 415-15)
1 Planning Activities Prior to Initiation of Design
The project is authorized for accomplishment of site investigation work, preparation of per-design cost estimate, and other pre-design work to the extent defined by special instructions of individual directives. Selection and negotiation (not award) of an architect-engineer (A-E) contract for design is authorized.
(Note: Includes site surveys, site plans, preliminary subsurface and utilities investigation and analysis, development of design narratives and development of PMP. See AR 415-15, paragraph 5-6 for additional information.)
2 Concept design
Preparation of concept design is authorized. Award of design contract is authorized, if appropriate. Approved concept design is considered to be 35% of the total design effort.
(Note: See AR 415-15, paragraph 5-7 for additional information.)
3 Project Definition
Preparation of parametric design is authorized. Award of a design contract is authorized, if appropriate. Approved parametric design is considered to be 5% -15% of the total design effort.
(Note: See AR 415-15, paragraph 5-8 for additional information.)
4 Design Held in Abeyance
The project design is on hold, pending a supplemental design directive.
5 Deferred From Program
The project is deferred from the program. Do not start design. If design of the project by USACE district in-house personnel has begun, it will be terminated. If design is being accomplished by A-E contract, it will be concluded per paragraph 5-5d.
6 Final Design
The project is authorized for final design.
(Note: See AR 415-15, paragraph 5-9 for additional information.)
7 Preliminary Design
Preparation of a request for proposal for a design-build procurement is authorized. Award of an architect-engineer contract to prepare a design-build request for proposal (RFP) is authorized, if appropriate.
(Note: Code 7 not used in AR 415-15 but has since been defined and established.)
8 Project Canceled
The project is canceled and if design is being accomplished by A-E contract, it will be concluded per paragraph 5-5d.
9 Construction Award and Authorized
A construction contract (or design-construct contract) is authorized for award.
(Note: Generally the projects in the current Congressional appropriation are authorized for advertisement and opening of bids prior to issuance of Code 9. As each project is ready to be awarded, based upon opened bids or completed negotiations, the district provides the award to HQUSACE. The authorization (Code 9) for award or execution is then provided.)
