Page 2 of 14 PURPOSE This procedure defines the requirements for the preparation, review, approval, and
control of project-specific and standard performance and technical specifications.
A technical specification is an Engineering document used to support Level 1 and Level 2 requisitions as part of the Material Requisition (MR) package. Reference PROC-DE-1021, Material Requisition Package Requirements, for specific requirements and definitions. A performance specification is typically a document required for services subcontracts.
SCOPE This procedure applies to the generation of all specifications by URS | CH2M Oak Ridge LLC (UCOR) and to the generation of specifications by Subcontractors when so requested in the subcontract requirements. This procedure also applies to the preparation of performance specifications for Exhibit E proforma and subcontracted services.

NOTE 2: When a specification is generated by a Subcontractor, the Subcontractor shall
coordinate through the Subcontract Coordinator (SCC) for UCOR functional input.
NOTE 3: The process and approach for preparing performance specifications for
services (including Exhibit E proforma and subcontracts) is similar to preparing specifications for materials/equipment.
A. Specification Preparation and Use
Originator (preparer) 1. Review Lessons Learned documentation (including but not limited to information available through the UCOR and/or U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Lessons Learned Programs that may be applicable to the specification).
May 2015
OWNER: Engineering PROC-DE-1007
SPECIFICATIONS REVISION: 1
Page 3 of 14 NOTE: Helpful specification preparation tools, templates, approved specifications,
and uniform Submittal/Deliverable item numbers (for use with the Subcontractor Submittal Register Summary (SSRS)) can be found on the UCOR Engineering SharePoint Site. Performance specifications may be found on the Procurement website under proformas, Exhibit E, Specifications.
Originator (preparer) 2. IF a standard specification approved by the Engineering Manager is available that
meets application requirements, THEN use the specification without further revision requirements.
3. IF revising a standard or project specification, THEN
GO TO Section D, “Specification Revision Methods and Identification.”
4. IF requisitioning waste containers and a Engineering Manager functionally approved standard technical specification is not available, THEN
select a standard DOE or Vendor technical specification OR develop a Project-specific specification for the equipment or service required in accordance with this procedure.
NOTE 1: The Document Management Center (DMC) will maintain an electronic database of the technical specification number, process the request for specification number, and reply to the requestor with the assigned number via e-mail. Performance specifications will continue to be maintained on the Procurement Proforma website.
NOTE 2: The Originator should obtain guidance from the Project Engineer or SCC, as
applicable when the Originator is not familiar with the DMC or the requirements of procedure PROC-OS-1004, Document Numbering and Issuance.
5. Obtain specification numbers from the Document Number Request System available
via the UCOR intranet site in accordance with PROC-OS-1004, Document Numbering and Issuance. An automated notification will be sent to the DMC.
a. Control draft specifications by using sequential alphanumerical designations
(Rev. 1A, 1B, 1C, etc.) during development and internal review.
b. Control issued specifications using revision numbers (Rev. 0, Rev. 1, Rev. 2, etc.).

Page 4 of 14 NOTE: For Specifications that have subject matter adapted from Construction
Specifications Institute (CSI) specifications, the CSI Specification number can be included in the title section of the Specification Cover Sheet (Form-362).
Originator (preparer) 6. Prepare the Specification cover sheet (Form-362) and include the title, revision
number, date, reason for issue or revision, and document approval signatures.
NOTE 1: Each page of the specification should have the page number at the bottom and contain the following information in the top right corner: first line, the word “Specification”; second line, specification document number; third line, current specification revision number.
NOTE 2: Typical components of a specification include, but are not limited to, the
following: cover sheet, table of contents, abbreviation list, references, applicable codes/standards/laws/regulations, definitions, technical submittals, constructability, and text sections (including tables, figures).
7. Prepare the remainder of the specification using the recommended format and
content guideline for Performance and Technical Specifications provided at the UCOR Engineering SharePoint Site.
NOTE 1: Use of the commercial grade dedication program is intended for procurement
activities associated with Category 2 or 3 nuclear facility configured items. However, the commercial grade dedication program can be used to augment procurement, as desired, of configured items in non-Category 2 or 3 facilities where the supplier Quality Assurance program does not meet required standards.
NOTE 2: Use of term critical characteristics is associated with the commercial grade
dedication program. However, other specifications that do not require implementation of the commercial grade dedication program may also require identification of technical characteristics similar to critical characteristics. Information contained in Evaluation and Approval Process for Dedicating Commercial Grade Items for Use as Configured Items (PROC-DE-1018) may be useful to help identify technical characteristics required in other specifications.
8. IF the specification is associated with procurement of a commercial grade item for
use as a configured item and/or service that is identified in a configuration management plan, THEN
identify the critical characteristics of the item and/or service and specify the method for verifying each critical characteristic, including acceptance criteria (see PROC-DE-1018).

Page 9 of 14 D. Specification Revision Methods and Identification
NOTE 1: Specifications shall be re-issued in their entirety when any of the pages are
revised, including appendices and attachments, beginning with Section A of this procedure.
NOTE 2: If making revisions to a standard or proforma specification, the revised
approved specification can replace/supersede the original standard or proforma specification as the latest revision (if approved by the Engineering Manager) by using the same specification number with a new revision number. Alternatively, that specification can be issued as a new specification and maintained as a new standard, proforma, or project specification.
NOTE 3: Under urgent circumstances, a Field Change Request (FCR) may be issued to
request engineering changes to a specification. A Design Change Notice (DCN) will be issued to change an issued specification. When time does not allow for processing a revision to the entire specification, work may proceed under the requirements of the issued DCN. FCRs and DCNs shall be prepared, processed, and incorporated in accordance with procedure PROC-DE-1008, Field Change Request (FCR), Design Change Notice (DCN), or Alternative Authorization for Design Changes.
NOTE 4: With the award of a subcontract, specifications become subcontract
requirements; likewise, revisions affecting the subcontract become subcontract changes and shall be processed as a Subcontract Change Order in accordance with procedure PROC-DE-1019, Subcontract Coordinator Requirements. In this case, an FCR is not issued.
Originator (or reviser) 1. Obtain specification revision number from the DMC Document Number Request site
in accordance with PROC-OS-1004, Document Numbering and Issuance. An automated notification will be sent to the DMC.
2. Download the latest version of the Word file from the Technical Specification
SharePoint Site, Approved Tech Specs in Word for making revisions.
3. IF the specification requires regulatory review, THEN designate the “60-90%” review copy “Issued for Regulatory Review.” After the regulatory review is complete and comments have been incorporated, the specification should be 100% complete and shall be issued for regulatory approval (and not for any additional review). Regulatory Review is contingent upon contract requirements.
