These guidelines are not intended to address allpossible project-specific design requirements or cover all applicable codes, standards, or otherapplicable requirements or end-user specific requirements. Instead, the guidelines are meant toprovide the engineer with guidance regarding OSU’s requirements and expectations forprojects.The engineer shall design systems that are appropriate for the specific project, and suchdesigns shall meet all applicable code requirements, industry standards, and engineering bestpractices.A.

Compliance1. Work shall be performed in accordance with these guidelines and the requirements ofthe OSU Excavation, Alteration, Renovation, and Additions Policy.2. The Executive Committee is the sole authority for providing of specific exceptions toguidelines compliance.3. These guidelines are not intended to limit the engineer's innovation and best practice.Where the engineer proposes to meet a higher standard than the guidelines put forth,the engineer shall present such concepts to OSU for approval prior to proceeding withdesign.4. Any visible or aesthetic components of the engineering design must be approved by theUA. The requirements in this engineering guideline are intended to address buildingVersion 02 2/5/2019Section 1: Administrative GuidelinesPage 6 of 92
Oklahoma State University Engineering Guidelinessystems requirements and are not intended to form the basis of any aestheticrequirements.5. The engineer shall be responsible for following the latest published version of theseguidelines at the start of each project.6. Should these guidelines be updated after the beginning of the project design, theengineer shall not be required to follow the updated version of the guidelines. WhereOSU requires the engineer to follow the updated guidelines on projects already indesign, OSU will provide specific notice of updated guidelines to the engineer and theengineer will clearly indicate to OSU the design impact of the updated guidelines for thein-design project.C. Communication1. It is expected and required that the engineer will communicate with OSU early and often.This includes areas of impact to OSU operations, issues that arise during the designprocess, information that OSU requires from the engineer as part of the OPR or therequirements of these guidelines, and information required to be provided to theengineer by OSU.2. Impacts to existing facilitiesa. Impacts to existing functions of facilities shall be minimized in design.b. Required down time to existing facility functions shall be minimized.c. Construction activities requiring facility, infrastructure, or utility shut downs shall beidentified during design and made clear to OSU as soon as they are identified.D. General design requirements1. Work performed for OSU shall be of a quality commensurate with OSU’s expectationsand high quality standards and shall prioritize the following goals:a. Ensure safety.b. Follow applicable code.c. Meet the OPR.d. Follow these guidelines.e. Maximize energy efficiency based on life cycle cost.f. Maximize IAQ.2. The engineer is responsible for reviewing the content of this guideline and shall notconsider previous projects, experience, or prior OSU decisions to form the basis of newproject requirements. Where this guideline indicates requirements are on a case-by-caseor site specific basis, the engineer shall coordinate with OSU and receive direction.3. The engineer shall notify OSU where deviations from these guidelines are underconsideration and shall receive approval prior to finalizing design should the intendeddesign differ from the requirements of these guidelines.4. Title 61a. The engineering design documents shall comply fully with Title 61 of the OklahomaStatutes.b. Within these guidelines, where “basis of design” is included, the engineer shall basethe design around one of the noted products or manufacturers. Approved equalproducts shall be coordinated with OSU.Version 02 2/5/2019Section 1: Administrative GuidelinesPage 7 of 92
Oklahoma State University Engineering Guidelines5. Equipment equipped with electronic controls shall not require proprietary information orequipment for access to system controls for repair, programming, and maintenancepurposes. The use of proprietary dongles, fobs, cards, or other proprietary means ofaccess shall not be required except where such access tools are provided to OSU foruse in maintenance. Furthermore, any proprietary tools required for maintenance ofequipment shall be provided to OSU prior to project closeout.1-4.Guidelines Update ProcessThese guidelines should be reviewed and updated periodically. The following presents themethod of review and update.A. Update frequency1. The guidelines should be reviewed and updated yearly. Mid-cycle or periodic reviewsand guidelines edits may be necessary.2. When agreed upon by the executive committee, the working committee will review theentirety of the guidelines in addition to other change suggestions, and present allnecessary change requests to the executive committee.3. The executive committee may then choose to mark the entirety of the guidelinesupdated and revised after this process, effectively moving the next required reviewperiod to one year from the revision date.B. Receiving feedback and change proposals1. The working committee should solicit feedback, as required, from LRFP and FMcontributors on at least an annual basis.2. The executive committee or working committee may, at their discretion, solicit feedbackfrom engineers, contractors, vendors, and other personnel involved in the work coveredby these guidelines.3. Change proposals may be issued by OSU personnel only, shall be issued in writing, andshall be directed to the working committee.C. Working committee review1. The working committee shall review the entirety of the guidelines annually, regardless ofwhether change proposals or feedback has been received.2. Change proposals and feedback shall be compiled by the working committee. Theworking committee shall deliver a complete written list of the proposed changes to theexecutive committee with recommendations. The recommendations list shall be dated.These recommendations could include:a. Recommendation for inclusion.b. Recommendation for inclusion with changes.c. Recommendation for rejection.D. Executive committee review1. The executive committee shall have the sole authority to determine the acceptability ofchanges to these guidelines.2. The executive committee shall review the working committee’s recommendations andeither approve, approve with comments, or reject each recommendation.Version 02 2/5/2019Section 1: Administrative GuidelinesPage 8 of 92

Oklahoma State University Engineering Guidelines3. Where commissioning is required, test and balance, startup, training, or any other precommissioning activities shall not be acceptable in the place of commissioning asoutlined in the contract documents.1-6.General RequirementsThe following section details general requirements that pertain to all disciplines.A. ADA1. Compliance with ADA shall be included for all new projects and all major rehabilitationprojects as determined by OSU. The engineer shall coordinate with the project architectregarding the application of ADA to products, systems, and installations.B. Landscape design and tree protection1. Landscape campus beautification and our urban forest play an important role inrecruiting students and faculty while enhancing the quality of life for everyone that worksat or calls OSU home. Landscape design and tree protection standards must be followedto ensure aesthetic continuity, maintenance affordability, and tree protection.2. Landscaping and Trees are a major investment and asset to the campus and should beprotected and preserved to the greatest extent possible when designing andconstructing new buildings, remodeling old building, upgrading or installing new utilities.As a Tree Campus USA member, our requirements and objectives are to promote,educate and sustain a healthy urban forest and landscape that will benefit the campusand surrounding community.3. Refer to OSU’s Tree Protection Standards, Tree Care Plan, Landscape Master Plan,Landscape Design Standards and Irrigation Specification Standards.
