Theserequirements
may
be
altered
when
necessary
to
satisfyspecialconditions
onthe
basis
of
good
engineering
practice
consistent
with
the
nature
ofthe
construction
.
Designandconstruction
of

must
be
completed
within
180
days
fromthe
date
notice
to
proceed
is
given
with
the
projected
life
expectancy
of
five
years
.
Hence,
rapidconstruction
of
a
facilityshould
be
reflected
inits
design
.
Time-consuming
methods
andprocedures,normally
preferred
over
quickermethods
for
better
quality,
should
be
de-emphasized
.
