The structural portion of the proposal must outline the proposed methods and materials of design and construction. The design shall include the following: a. Structural Narrative. General. Provide a general description of the scope of the project and all of the major structures. Give overall building dimensions and a description of the principal features such as wall and roof construction proposed. If the building is irregularly shaped, explain where seismic joints will be placed to create regular shapes or provide a statement that a dynamic analysis of the building will be performed. b. Framing System. Provide a description of the framing system chosen. Provide a description of the lateral load resisting system and how these loads will be transmitted to the foundations. c. Foundation. Give a description of the anticipated foundations based on Soil Boring Data located in the bridging document. List special design features. d. Fire Resistance Statement. State the required fire resistance criteria for all portions of the structural system and the proposed method of meeting these requirements. e. Design Analysis. The following specific items shall be included. Load Assumptions. State the live loads for which the facility is to be designed. Include roof and floor loads. Provide the wind loads, lateral earth pressure loads, seismic loads, etc. as applicable. Complete analysis is not necessary, only tabulation of loads is required. Utilize factors as provided in the DCM (2009) Article 3.11...
