Discussion
.
Criteria
and
standardspresented
hereinapply
to
constructionconsidered
crucial
to
a
mobilization
effort
.
Theserequirements
may
be
altered
when
necessary
to
satisfy
special
conditions
on
the
basis
of
good
engineering
practice
consistent
withthenature
of
the
construction
.
Design
and
construction
of
mobilization
facilities
must
be
completed
within
180
daysfromthe
date
notice
to
proceed
is
given
with
the
projected
life
expectancy
of
five
years
.
Hence,
rapidconstruction
ofa
facilityshould
be
reflected
in
its
design
.
Time-consuming
methods
and
procedures,
normally
preferredover
quickermethods
for
better
quality,
should
be
de-emphasized
.
Lessergrade
materials
should
be
substituted
for
higher
grade
materials
whenthelesser
gradematerials
would
provide
satisfactory
service
andwhen
use
of
highergrade
materials
would
extend
construction
time
.
Work
items
not
immediatelynecessary
forthe
adequate
functioning
ofthe
facility
should
be
deferred
until
suchtime
as
they
can
be
completed
without
delayingthe
mobilization
effort
