Appendix A – DESIGN TEAM IDG CHECKLIST

A Design Team IDG Checklist should be completed for all projects that impact the appearance of an Army Installation.  The Master Planner shall provide the checklist to all teams designing new facilities; additions or renovations to existing facilities; or maintenance on the installation.  The Design Team IDG Design Checklist is to be completed by the design team to assure the guidelines and standards have been considered and complied with in the design process and by the Master Planner in project review.

The Designer of Record or Design Agent will provide a copy of the completed checklist, together with a signed certification statement with each design submittal [10% (pre-concept), 35%, 60%, and 90%] for each MILCON project.  The Designer of Record will complete the checklist and verify compliance in the space provided.  In the case of Design Build, all agents, i.e., the Corps of Engineers, NAF, AAFES, Host Nation, tenants, etc. shall have the prospective design build contractors submit a completed IDG Checklist as part of their proposal.  The completed checklist will be provided to the Master Planner for review with concurrence or denial.  Upon a determination of concurrence by the Master Planner, the plan and checklist with signatures will then be provided to the Real Property Planning Board for final acceptance or denial.  The accepted checklist will become a part of the project record files.

If plans are denied for non-compliance at the installation or command level (where applicable) of review, an explanation of the denial will be provided to the Designer of Record.  The plan and checklist can be resubmitted with revisions as indicated in the explanation of denial.
