CONSTRUCTION DIVISION MEMORANDUM

GENERAL SUBJECT: SECTION 514 FIELD OFFICE NUMBER: CD-94-11
SPECIFIC SUBJECT: CHANGE IN FIELD OFFICE SPECIFICATIONS DATE: AUGUST 23, 1994
Original w/Signature on file in Construction Division
C. F. GEE
CONSTRUCTION ENGINEER
DIRECTED TO - DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS
It has come to my attention that on several contracts, a larger than necessary field office was specified for the size and scope of the project. This may be attributed to the change in Specifications for field offices type I, II, and III dated 7-19-93c (see below).
FIELD OFFICE 91 SPEC. BOOK
(PREVIOUS)
SPEC.PROV.SECTION 514
(NEW)
Type I 400 sq.ft. 500 sq.ft.
Type II 200 sq.ft. 400 sq.ft.
Type III 120 sq.ft. 200 sq.ft.
You will note that under the new provision, you get the same square footage by specifying a type II or III field office as you did in previously specifying a type I or II respectively. I would appreciate your assistance in assuring that appropriately sized field offices are specified on your construction and maintenance projects by giving consideration to both the scope and anticipated time limit for the project. In many cases small, no plan, minimum plan, and maintenance projects will not require a field office thus reducing your engineering overhead.
Thank you for your usual attention.
