Mail Number: KEO-IC-RFI-000002
Subject: Project Codes and Standards
DISCIPLINE: All
Thank you for your respective lists of codes and standards to be used across the project, copies attached.
KEO would like to query the absence of ADIBC 2013 which appears to also have been adopted by
the AA Municipality according to KEO’s understanding.
Could you please provide some commentary on which basis this code was not included, or the
resultant pros/cons and related risks/costs for not adapting it going forward?
Additionally, KEO assume that UPC standards refers to:
· Neighbourhood Planning (Fareej) guidelines
· population & Community Facility standards (previous version attached for info. Please ensure the
latest version is obtained from UPC/AAM)
· Mosque design standards
· Plan Al Ain 2030
· Urban Street Design Manual
· Development review standards for “Large” development
· Any other draft, work in progress or standards known to be under review/development
Please review the above in light of your respective code/standards schedule and advise on any
contradictory/duplicating codes and provide a mitigation strategy forward for clarity.
As discussed at our MP meeting on 14 March 2013, we need to quickly finalize the ROW utility
corridors to meet the authority requirements for the hierarchy of roads proposed so the MP is not
subject to abortive design works.
Please advise how this will affect your individual affection plans/scope as well as joint
coordination/common issues that we will face.

RESPONSE:
We have checked with Al Ain Town Planning Sector regarding the IBC code and they
advised that their review is based on IBC 2009 and they have no objection to use latest
edition which is 2012. Please note, our understanding, there is no 2013 issue.
For UPC standards … we referred to UPC guidelines without specifics which can be
incorporated if required.
For the ROW utility corridors – we have recently added the AATPS utility Section
requirement in the list.
Regarding the affect from individual affection plans/scope in relation to Utility corridors …
as our understanding we will follow AATPS requirements regardless the utilities are within
the plot / affection plan, so in the future the service corridors will be handed to utility
providers and AATPS utility section.
Furthermore, please note we feel that DEWAN should create their own authority codes
document, rather than refer to BMA's documents.
