STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES 1.0 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This Manual of Standards and Procedures is a part of the Agreement between the Architect/Engineer and Owner and provides a general guideline of standard architectural and engineering procedures of the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) in the design and construction of new and remodeled District facilities. Since the District desires to encourage creativity and originality in design this Manual is focused on the technical and administrative aspects of the project development process and is not intended to direct or limit the design effort. 2.0 2.1 STANDARDS DUE TO THE EXTENT AND VARIETY Due to the extent and variety of District facilities it is necessary to standardize certain elements of building projects. These elements are listed in the respective sections of Specifications discussed in this Manual. The specification of proprietary components shall be done only in accordance with Procurement Rule R7-2-1009; that rule states the District shall not use specifications in any way proprietary to one supplier unless a statement is included of the reasons why no other specifications is practicable, a description of the essential characteristics of the specified product, and a statement permitting an acceptable alternative product to be provided in accordance with procedures of prior approval or substitution. Any modification or variation from the standards used by the Engineering & Planning Services Department of TUSD shall have the prior approval of the TUSD Project Manager. 2.2 NEW FACILITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONS New facilities and significant additions to existing facilities shall be designed to current educational or functional standards as identified in the educational specifications provided by the Owner and as verified by the Architect and Owner, User Groups in pre-design project analysis. Refer to Appendix B, Technology Specifications. 2.3 RENOVATIONS OF AND MINOR ADDITIONS Renovations of and minor additions to existing facilities shall be designed to current code and functional standards within the limitations of the scope of the project and the construction budget. 2.3.1 CODE UPGRADE FOR LATERAL LOADS (SEISMIC AND WIND) It is the intent of the District to design in accordance with Chapter 16 of the International Building Code (and succeeding editions). All new structures and new portions of existing structures are to be designed according to current code for lateral analysis. Additions and alterations may be made to any building without requiring the existing portion of the building to comply with current lateral force code requirements only under the following conditions: The new portions of the addition or alteration conform to the current code requirements for lateral loads. The building is not undergoing a change in use or occupancy. If financially feasible, the existing roof and second floor structural systems are to be anchored to the walls if not presently anchored.
The addition or alteration will result in the existing building or structure being no more hazardous based on life safety and fire safety than before such addition or alteration was undertaken. The lateral force resisting elements of the existing portion of the building are in reasonably good condition and are in place and performing adequately as originally designed.
Rev. 01/01/2007

DIVISION 1
SECTION 01035 - CHANGE PROCEDURES Describe the procedures to be followed for changes or modifications to the project that are necessary after the contract is executed. Changes may be caused by unforeseen conditions, by Owner requests, by adjustment of allowance or unit price amounts, and due to discrepancies in the contract documents. Changes may result in modifications of contract cost, in time for completion, in both, or may result in documentation of a change for the record with no modification to cost or time. All changes to the project shall be documented by the Architect and recorded on the record drawings. The Architect shall prepare necessary drawings and descriptions of the required change, solicit a Change Order Proposal from the Contractor, evaluate the Proposal, and advise the Owner on its merits. The Architect shall maintain records of correspondence for inclusion with the Change Order documentation for approval. Designate that the Contractor shall be allowed to add overhead, profit, and actual cost of bond and sales tax to the actual labor and material cost of additive changes. The Contractor shall submit complete documentation of costs which make up changes, whether additive or deductive. Review General Construction Agreement for mark-up conditions. SECTION 01050 - FIELD ENGINEERING On small projects and on additions and alterations, the requirements for accurate layout of the project by the Contractor may be covered in the General Conditions and in other sections of the specifications. On significant projects such as a new campuses and those with critical line and grade, specify in this section land survey, civil engineering, and structural engineering which may be required of the Contractor. SECTION 01200 - PROJECT MEETINGS Project meetings include pre-construction conferences, pre-installation meetings, coordination meetings and weekly progress review meetings. The Contractor is required to schedule: 1. Preconstruction Conference at the site after execution of the Agreement and before commencement of construction activities.

The Architect shall prepare his minutes of all meetings and supply the Project Manager and Contractor with a typed copy within three working days. SECTION 01300 - SUBMITTALS Submittals which may be required during the project may include shop drawings, product data, samples, schedules, reports, Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and miscellaneous documentation. Review the general conditions and the project scope to determine the need for each type. Retain one set of approved documents for the Owner, one for the Architect, and a log of all submittals and actions taken.
Rev. 01/01/2007
DIVISION 1
The Contractor is required to submit a Construction Schedule and CPM Schedule within 15 days of execution of the Agreement. The schedule shall indicate the contract completion date even if the contractor's schedule calls for the construction to be completed prior to the date. The Contractor shall submit a MSDS complying with OSHA guidelines for all materials incorporated into the construction for review by the Architect. The Submittal Section shall include a reference to Section 01700, Project Close-Out, where a list of submittals and surplus materials required to be turned in at the end of the project shall be provided. The District often requires information on the costs of certain portions of the project or of specific items incorporated into the project for the purpose of assigning funding, complying with grant requirements, submitting for available rebates, etc. The contract documents shall require that the Contractor shall assist the District in this effort by submitting cost breakdowns, invoices or other pertinent data. This service, unless determined to be unusually complex, shall be provided at no additional cost to the District. SECTION 01400 - QUALITY CONTROL SERVICES The Owner will contract with and pay for the services of an independent materials testing laboratory acceptable to the Owner and the Architect for quality control testing during construction. Coordinate with other sections of the specifications to properly indicate to the bidders the practice which will be used and to denote the scope of testing required in each Section. The Architect shall coordinate with Pima County Building Codes or City of Tucson Building Safety to determine what special inspections these agencies or others may require. SECTION 01500 - TEMPORARY FACILITIES Clearly indicate the temporary facilities which are required on the project.

Unsuitable or damaged materials shall be removed from the site and replaced at the Contractor's expense. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for construction site safety procedures and for providing necessary temporary safety provisions. Safety warning tape is not acceptable as a barricade. SECTION 01600 - MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT AND SUBSTITUTIONS This section is of great importance because proper selection of products is critical to the success or failure of the project. Because this is public work it is mandatory to have non-proprietary specifications unless no other product is available to suit the Owner's criteria. However, while great effort by the Architect and Owner may go into the selection and specification of products, the ultimate selection of the product, which will be incorporated in the project, rests with the Contractor and will often be based more on price and delivery schedule. This section shall be written by the Architect to set forth procedures to be used by the Contractor in selecting products for construction, potentially limiting his options, and will establish procedures to assure compliance with the contract documents. This Section shall also set forth a process by which the Contractor may seek approval of a substitute for a specified product. Asbestos containing products will not be used in any TUSD building and specifications shall expressly prohibit their use.
Rev. 01/01/2007
DIVISION 1
SECTION 01700 - PROJECT CLOSE-OUT This section is primarily a summary of procedures specified in other sections for items and activities required at the end of the construction process. It is useful to clarify procedures, final submittals, warranties, "as-builts", insurance, waivers of lien, maintenance material, and other items. It is also useful to define what will constitute Substantial Completion and Final Completion.

DIVISION 2 - SITE WORK GENERAL DESIGN AND PLANNING GUIDELINES The following items summarize the Engineering & Planning Services Department's specific guidelines for site improvements. The guidelines are discussed in detail in subsequent Division 2 sections. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. A review of the proposed landscape irrigation and site improvements MUST be held with TUSD Senior Staff prior to preparation of construction documents. Remedial grading of small problem areas of the playgrounds is preferred over extensive regrading of large or entire areas of the playgrounds. Grass/turf areas should be limited to actual playground areas. Other areas should have low maintenance surfaces. The landscape and irrigation work will be bid in a separate bid package. The bid package is to be properly timed for coordination with site availability and planting seasons. Determine which is more cost effective to replace an older irrigation system with a completely new system or make remedial repairs. When adding trees, there should be a preference for several mature trees in lieu of smaller specimens. The use of small shrubbery should be limited to "accent" landscape areas. Decomposed granite should not be used next to sidewalks or concrete play courts. A strip of bare earth approximately ten feet wide should parallel all fences. Consideration about replacement of playground equipment should be based on condition of existing equipment, safety issues, outside funding sources, etc. and the standard used will be the CPSC. All site improvements are to be evaluated for compliance with ADA Standards. Playground turf replacement and repairs should be phased to provide adequate growth periods without exposure to student use. Adequate play field area shall be available at all times for student use. A 90 day maintenance period for planting and turf should be included in all specifications with specific provisions for cutting grass, watering supervision and maintenance, and weed control. The TUSD Design REVIEW Checklist found in Appendix C is to be incorporated with the 100% Review by the TUSD Senior Staff prior to bidding. All request for marquee style site signs submitted to the Director of Engineering & Planning Services for approval and compliance with the TUSD signage policy.
SECTION 02070 - SELECTIVE DEMOLITION For work on existing school facilities the Architect is to include this section in order to clarify types of items to be demolished, methods of demolition not allowed, coordination with Owner's uses, salvage to Owner, protection and repair of the existing facility, utility shut-offs, and related issues. These items must be researched and confirmed for each project. The Architect shall identify salvage to the Owner in the specifications. Refer to Section 07550, Roofing for Existing Construction for requirements for demolition or removal of existing roofing. IN NO CASE, shall the contractor be allowed to disturb asbestos containing roofing materials without following the guidelines in Section 07555, Notice Of Asbestos-Containing Roofing Materials.

SECTION 02900 - LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES All designs must fulfill the educational requirements programmed for each school site. All designs shall give consideration to current District maintenance procedures and capabilities, so as to provide an easily serviceable and maintainable facility. All designs shall address security of user and of the physical resources. Adhere to xeriscape design principles whenever possible. Turf areas should be limited to functional areas. Turf reduction at existing sites is a major goal. Turf growth along fences and building lines should be discouraged. See Appendix "A". The landscape planning and design should integrate with work of Architect and Engineers.
Rev. 01/01/2007
DIVISION 2
Campus site design is a reflection of the school's function to teach physical and mental skills in a pleasant, safe environment that is both efficient in conservation of natural resources and functional. Trees already growing on the site should be integrated into the new landscape plan and preserved if healthy, if a desirable species, and if they can be functionally accommodated.. If existing trees are to be removed, school staff (principal and faculty) should be notified as far in advance as possible. The landscape designs should make use of water harvesting techniques to provide landscape areas with supplemental water where practical and possible. Because the process of tree planting is part of many teachers curriculum to teach children about their responsibility for the environment, we believe that tree planting on school grounds is an ongoing process. Landscape Architects should take this into account and consider setting aside an area of school grounds that will be gradually planted by students over the coming years as directed by individual programs. The area will need an expandable irrigation system installed. NOTE: This doesn't mean that students and teachers are solely responsible for planting trees on the school grounds. Shade trees should be planted at the time of renovation in heavily used student areas to provide shade as soon as possible.
The following issues will be addressed: Maximize the functional use of the campus; appearance; safety 1.1 MAXIMIZE THE FUNCTIONAL USE OF THE CAMPUS Overlap playing fields for multiple use to minimize turf areas. Use turf areas for outdoor sports or activities that require a turf-soft surface. Turf should be in functional use areas only. In non-turf areas utilize open soil areas and inert ground covers such as decomposed granite or gravels. Apply soil sterilants to inert areas in accordance with Arizona Structural Pest Control regulations. Plant trees to provide shade in high use, non-sport areas, and to reduce heat gain on buildings. Use tree or screens to block hot drying winds where appropriate. In general the non-functional use of shrubs and ground covers is discouraged in favor of the planting of trees. Plant shrubs to accent areas and direct pedestrian traffic. Limit access to areas which might be easily vandalized. Use low water-use ground covers in areas that have non-pedestrian traffic or non-access areas to control solar reflected heat on buildings. Limit use of vegetative, non-turf ground covers to key visual areas with little or no traffic as these are high maintenance and susceptible to damage. Use deciduous tree where appropriate near buildings to promote passive solar gain in the winter months and to prevent heat gain in the summer months. Stabilize granite in areas where there could be erosion (berms, swales, slopes). Rock boulders should be a minimum 3' x 3' x 2' in size to provide good stabilizing with 1/3 of boulder buried in ground. They shall be round, smooth, with no sharp edges. No river stone or riprap under 12" shall be used.

DIVISION 2
Any extended grass areas shall be agreed upon by the Architectural firm and the District's Project Manager. 1.2 APPEARANCE Landscape plant materials should provide good visual access to signage on buildings and ground. Trees that are planted should be a minimum 15 gallon size (24" box preferred) to insure better growth and resist vandalism. All header curbs used to define planting areas or as mow strips should be made of concrete material with a minimum 4" width and 6" depth and not more than 3/4" height, difference between finish grades of ground and top of curb. Curb should have expansion joints every 20 lineal feet to prevent cracking. Header curbs shall be installed at all locations where lawn meets granite to provide a mowing strip. Plant Selection shall be drought tolerant as recommended by "SAWARA" with plantings grouped separate from turf areas for proper irrigation. Select plants only from SAWARA list unless prior special approval is given. The appearance of the school campus should be clean, natural, and easy to maintain. The appropriate plant spacing shall be maintained to prevent an overgrowth of vegetation which would have to be pruned frequently or removed. The appearance of a particular equipment item can have an effect on its degree of use and the degree of vandalism to that item. Equipment should look hefty and sturdy, almost indestructible, and yet have a clean, safe appearance. All lighted sports facilities shall have tree plantings around the perimeter to control lighting pollution to the surrounding neighborhood. 1.3 SAFETY Landscape plantings should be arranged and maintained to allow for good visual access of all areas from the street so that police can view the site easily during non-school hours. Landscape plantings should not block visual access to pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Area lighting should be provided, not only for sports activities but also in common areas and parking areas. All features installed in the campus landscape should be permanently attached so as to provide minimum loss to vandalism. Changes in height of pavement surfaces should be made gradually or at steps to minimize potential trip points. Bubblers' should not be visible above finish grade. See detail in Appendix "A", gravel filled sleeve. On trees 24" box and larger, trim branching to 7' height adjacent to pedestrian and vehicular areas to keep branching from poking someone. Where guy wiring is required, it shall be clearly marked with plastic tubing around guy wire that is painted with a bright color. Do not use poisonous plants. Limit the use of cactus to accents and in key areas, as these areas can be difficult to maintain. All paved surfaces shall have a textured surface to help prevent slippage when wet. Provide 6' chain-link fencing around all construction areas and construction warning signs to keep out. Fire (drill) access and staging areas should be reflected in the campus development plan. School bus and vehicular pick-up areas should be strategically placed to provide minimal safety conflicts in vehicular and pedestrian traffic. All emergency features should be marked with the appropriate bright colors.
Rev. 01/01/2007
DIVISION 2
All playgrounds shall have a minimum 12" deep wood chip cover under all equipment or, when directed by Project Manager, a firm surface area for disabled access equipment per Federal Safety and ADA requirements. Playgrounds shall have a minimum 4" wide by 16" deep curb around areas where wood chips are used. Play equipment and playgrounds shall meet the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Guidelines for New and Existing Playgrounds. All site utilities shall be clearly marked on landscape, planting plans to reduce conflicts in design. The Contractor shall be required at the time of final payment request to provide a set of as-built Mylar drawings as specified and showing all field changes and the depths of any changed items. All field changes to drawings shall be drawn by the Landscape Architect who sealed the original plan. LANDSCAPE CONSTRUCTION SOIL TESTING
2.0 2.1
Prior to design or the preparation of a soil amendment specification, a soils test shall be conducted at each site by a qualified horticultural testing lab. The lab shall prepare recommendations for amending the existing site soil, which shall be used to unite the soil amendment specification. On projects where new finish grades will be more than three inches above or below existing grade, the soil shall be retested after establishment of final grade to determine if a change in amendment requirements is needed. Compaction testing shall be done to determine existing compaction percentage. Compaction shall not exceed approximately 85% minimum density. If significant compaction exists (95%+) in turf area, the soil must be ripped to a depth of 8" to 12" prior to amendment and planting bed preparation. There shall be a minimum of one soil sample taken per 1/2 acre of new turf area. Samples shall be taken at between 4" and 6" deep for turf, and samples shall be taken at depths of 12" and 36" for areas, which will have trees and shrubs. Approximately one pint of soil is required per sample. Soil analysis should include test for the following: pH Phosphorus 2.2 Soluble salts Potassium Sodium Iron Nitrogen Textural classification
WEED CONTROL The applicator of all weed control materials shall be licensed by the State of Arizona as a pest control operator for herbicide use and a pest control advisor in addition to holding any subcontractor licenses that are required. Prior to the installation of any weed control materials, the pest control advisor shall submit to the Owner or representative, labels of the weed control materials, rates of application and quantities per acre intended for use in controlling the weed types prevalent and expected on the site. The pest control advisor shall furnish data to demonstrate the compatibility of the weed control materials and methods with the intended planting and seeding varieties. Provide MSDS for approval prior to application. No material or method shall adversely affect the landscape installation and establishment. Times applied and product used must be scheduled and information provided to Owner for review. Materials and methods must conform to Federal, State, and Local regulations. Weed control shall be applied to all designated areas with adequate time to meet manufacturer's recommendations. If, after applications have been completed, more weeds or regrowth of existing weeds appear prior to planting, reapplications will be done per manufacturer's recommendations. Subsequent applications may need to be made after plant establishment is tolerant of herbicides. Any plant material damaged or killed during the process of the application of herbicides shall be replaced by the herbicide contractor.

The use of VFDs substantially reduces inrush (starting) current requirements, which can result in significant savings in the electrical distribution system. Additionally, VFDs result in superior part-load performance. Designers are strongly encouraged to consider VFD starters for all centrifugal chillers.

ILLUMINANCE TABLE NOTES 1. It should be possible by simple switching to vary the illuminance by 50 per cent either up or down to accommodate note taking or audio-visual presentations. Total control by areas is desirable. Local lighting is to be used to supplement the general lighting where fine work is to be carried out or feature displays are located. Since study carrels cut off light from the overhead general lighting system, a local lighting luminary in each carrel is frequently desirable.

Pay particular attention to good light levels along marker boards. Supplementary lighting is frequently required for marker boards, board lighting should be switched separately and have an asymmetrical distribution. In computer rooms it must be possible by switching to bring the illuminance up to general classroom levels. Values are for direct lighting. Where indirect lighting, providing high VCP is used, lower maintained light levels may be used. In corridors, pay particular attention to getting light on walls and ceilings. LIGHTING CONTROL

A. Light switches shall be provided in classrooms and offices to permit turning out the lights when viewing slides or videos. B. Student restrooms in middle schools and high schools should be controlled by time switches. A spring wound timer style override switch should be provided in an area accessible to staff for turning on the lights for after hours use. C. Where practical use photo-sensors to provide override control for all or part of the lighting in areas where daylight provides good quality lighting. D. In classrooms, offices, etc., provide multi-level switching where practical, particularly if space has windows. Position one switch close to windows to allow occupants to take advantage of daylight. E. In general lights shall not be switched from circuit breaker panels. Circuit breakers, rated or not, are not to be used as light switches. F. In rewire and remodel projects the existing switch locations shall be reused, unless unsafe or inconvenient. 2.02.3 INTERIOR LIGHTING
A. Use shielded (lensed ) fixtures in the following areas: classrooms, offices, workrooms, lounge, libraries and corridors. B. Use shielded fixtures, which completely shield the lamp (lensed but not parabolic) in Kitchens. C. Use only metal halide fixtures for gymnasium lighting. Fluorescent lighting may be acceptable upon TUSD Engineering approval. D. Use vandal resistant fixtures in student toilet rooms and for all exterior lighting. E. Lensed fixtures shall use acrylic lenses at least .125" minimum (not nominal) thickness. F. Do not use wraparound style fixtures. G. Computer rooms shall have lighting designed to minimize glare. Indirect lighting should be used if ceiling height permits. H. Marker boards in computer rooms should have separately switched fixtures with asymmetrical distribution unless indirect lighting is used. Modern marker boards, which are very light in color, cause significant glare on computer screens.

I. J.
Do not use paracube lenses. ALL FLOURSCENT LIGHTING SHALL BE T-8 WITH ELECTRONIC BALLASTS. T-5 AND T-6 FLOURSCENT LIGHTING ARE ALSO ACCEPTABLE. In general, fluorescent is the preferred light source for most areas except where dimming is required over small areas. Do not use 3', 6', or 8' lamps.
K. Four foot fluorescent lamps should be used wherever practical, except that the smaller 2700 K compact fluorescents (Philips PL, Osram Dulux, GE Biax etc) may be used where incandescents would otherwise be the logical choice. Where 2' fluorescent lamps are required use the larger compact fluorescents. It is expected that these will ultimately replace U-tubes and 2' T12 lamps. L. For compact fluorescent lamps the following sizes should be used to promote standardization: 9W 13W 13W 28W 40W Twin Tube Twin Double Twin Tube Double Twin Tube Twin Tube (22 ") G23 GX23 G14D1 G24D3 2G11 single end, 2 pin base single end, 2 pin base single end, 2 pin base single end, 2 pin base single end 4 pin base
M. For new fixtures or where new ballasts are installed in existing fixtures use 3050 lumen, 3500 K, T8 lamps, such as, Philips, F32T8/TL/835, Osram, F032W/835K or other approved equal, with electronics ballasts designed for T8 lamps. N. It is suggested that calculations for these lamps be based on 3050 initial lumens with a maintenance factor of 80% for prismatic lenses and 76% for deep cell parabolic louvers O. Electronic ballasts shall meet the following requirements: 1. 2. Rapid start type with heated cathode rather than the instant start type. All electronic type as opposed to hybrid electromagnetic/electronic type. The all electronic units typically have higher light output and higher efficiency. Total harmonic content shall be no greater than 20% to avoid overloading neutrals. Some electronic ballasts, such as, Advance's, operate without any discernible ballasts hum. These units should be used in preference to the noisier units to provide a calmer classroom environment. The use of quite ballasts is essential in special education rooms.
3. 4.
P. Special education classrooms shall be lit using fluorescent fixtures in the same way as other classrooms, except that ballasts shall be dimable, completely silent, and have no flicker, such as, those manufactured by Advance. Q. The silent operation will avoid problems with hearing impaired students who usually do not have as much hearing loss at low frequencies as at high frequencies, creating tendency for low frequency noise to mask speech frequencies they might otherwise be able to hear. The absence of flicker will reduce the likelihood of seizures for some with a Neurological disability. R. Three lamp fixtures shall use a master/slave ballast arrangement for the center lamps, with ballasts in one fixture controlling the center lamps in two fixtures. A master/slave arrangement shall also be used when it is desired to switch lamps separately in two lamp fixtures. S. Two lamp ballasts are more efficient than single lamps ballasts and generally operate quieter. Wiring between fixtures shall be in filed installed " flexible metal conduit. Factory installed whips tend to be too flimsy.

DIVISION 16
T. Per the City of Tucson, it is also acceptable to install branch circuit wiring in the same flex conduit, such that, for a pair of fixtures there will be one piece of flex connecting to a branch circuit junction box and one piece of flex connecting the two fixtures. U. In attics, tunnels, normally unoccupied equipment rooms, storage rooms accessible only to outside of building and not heated, and similar spaces, incandescent lamps in porcelain lampholders are the appropriate light source. Provide a wall switch for porcelain fixtures. V. H.I.D. light sources should not be used for general indoor unless special permission is given by the Engineering department. When H.I.D. lighting is used in interior space, a secondary lighting system such as incandescent shall be provided for instant on capability. Emergency lighting in H.I.D. areas shall be designed with a time delay to permit restrike prior to extinguishing the emergency light. Incandescent/Quartz restrike systems for H.I.D. should not be used in lieu of separate "instant on" fixtures and time delay on the emergency lighting as the District's experience has shown them to be a high maintenance item. W. Provide night lights in corridors. These shall be located in a manner to minimize the use of 3-way and 4-way switching in the corridors. Corridor night lights shall be selected fixtures of the normal corridor light system. When unit emergency lighting equipment is used, the corridor night lights shall be the fixtures used for emergency lighting. If 3-lamp or 4-lamp fixtures are used in corridors, only 1 lamp should be operated as a night light with the other lamps connected to the normal light switches. When night lights are provided, a suitable switching means shall be provided to turn off the night lights to make a totally dark building interior when the building is vacant. This switch shall not disconnect power from any unit battery emergency equipment. 2.02.4 EMERGENCY LIGHTING
A. Emergency lighting for schools not having emergency generators shall use wall pack units separate from the normal light fixtures. The District has experienced short battery life with emergency ballasts used in normal fluorescent fixtures, and these units are typically not built so as to permit replacing batteries without replacing entire units at great expense. B. High schools and large campus style middle schools should use standby generator to provide power source for emergency egress lighting, if project budget can accommodate the cost. C. When a generator is used, light fixtures wired to the emergency system shall be identified in some manner to indicate that prompt relamping of such fixtures is mandatory. 2.02.5 PARKING LOT LIGHTING
A. Parking lot lighting shall be high pressure sodium type, except in Area "A" as defined by the Tucson and Pima County Light Pollution Codes, where low pressure sodium is required. B. Low pressure sodium may be used in other areas, if it results in a significant energy savings, but experience has shown in most situations that vertical lamp high pressure sodium fixtures give much better uniformity and result in less or only a little more wattage than low pressure sodium fixtures with fewer poles. C. Luminary height shall not exceed 30'-0". Concrete pole bases shall be raised at least 30" above finished grade. D. Parking lot lighting shall be designed for a minimum of 0.2 footcandles minimum with an average to minimum uniformity ratio of 6:1 to 10:1 or less. The maintained average shall be no more than 5 footcandles. E. Parking lot lights shall be controlled by EMCS system with photocell to prevent lights from operating during the day. If EMCS system is not available use photocell "on" electro-mechanical time control "off." In either case provide wind-up timer override in a location convenient to staff.

2.02.6
BUILDING MOUNTED OUTDOOR LIGHT FIXTURES
A. Outdoor building mounted light sources shall be low pressure sodium type.
2.02.7
OUTDOOR LIGHTING CONTROL
A. Outdoor lighting on buildings shall be controlled by an EMCS. Spring wound timer over-ride shall be provided for parking lot lighting in a location convenient to the staff. Where EMCS is not available, photo-cell control shall be provided, with electro-mechanical time switch "off for parking lot lights. B. Outdoor lighting shall have a bypass switch provided in the main electrical equipment area or other area not normally accessible to other than maintenance staff. This by-pass switch shall be used to turn lights on during the day time for maintenance purposes. 2.02.8 DELAMPING OF EXISTING LIGHT FIXTURES
A. Information presented below is provided for those remodel projects, which do not have sufficient funding to permit complete replacement of the lighting fixtures. In many cases the existing lighting levels far exceed the recommended foot-candle values as stated above. When this is the case, it is intended that a de-lamping program be implemented to lower the foot-candle levels to the value stated in the standard manual. Except for slimline fixtures with disconnect type lamp holders the unused ballasts shall be disconnected from the circuit. B. When delamping four (4) lamp fixtures, consideration should be given to relocating sockets in addition to disconnecting one of the ballasts. Many four (4) lamp fixtures have provisions for two lamp socket locations and are easily modified. With others relocating sockets is difficult and not worth the trouble. C. Most existing three (3) lamp 2x4 fixtures are wired with double switching. When this is the case it may be possible to rework the switches to provide operation of either one (l) lamp or two (2) lamps, but not all three lamps. This arrangement is preferable to eliminating the center lamp from all fixtures. D. When existing 4' fixtures have energy saving ballasts, the existing ballasts may remain in place. When existing ballasts are not energy saving type then replace the ballasts with new electronic type for T8 lamps and retrofit T8 lamps to the fixtures, if sufficient funding exists. E. It is recommended that whenever possible 8' slimline strip fixtures be replaced with new lensed fixtures using 4' lamps. If not possible to eliminate the strip fixtures, consideration should be given to converting to one lamp per fixture and operating tandem pairs of 8', one lamp fixtures off one 2 lamp electronic ballast. F. In all cases an economic analysis should be done as the cost of retrofitting ballasts, relocating sockets, etc. could be higher than furnishing new fixtures. 2.02.9 EXISTING INCANDESCENT LIGHT FIXTURES
A. When existing incandescent fixtures are to be kept in operation and no dimming capability is required, retrofit with compact fluorescent adapters, which permit relamping without replacing the ballasts. Lumatech retrofit units meet this requirement. 2.03 LOCATION OF EQUIPMENT A. Comply with National Electrical Code requirements (Articles 110-16 and 384-4 in particular). B. Preferred panel board locations are flush in corridor walls or surface in dedicated electrical space in electrical or mechanical equipment rooms. Do not install panels in storage or custodial rooms. Computer rooms, vocational
Rev. 01/01/2007 Electrical - 16 Page 9 of 32
DIVISION 16
and science classrooms, kitchens, and other rooms of similar nature may have the panel boards installed in the room when practicable to provide convenient control of equipment. When shunt trip EPO Systems are used the panel board shall be located in the same room. C. Service entrance and distribution equipment should be installed indoors, in equipment rooms. On rewire and remodel projects when no indoor space is available then service equipment may be installed outdoors. Outdoor services shall be switchboard construction, not gutter and switch layouts. D. Do not locate transformers or distribution panels on roofs. E. Do not locate dry type transformers where accessible to students or the general public. 2.04 DISCONNECTS AND CONTROLS A. Provide main breakers in all panel boards except when the panel board is located in the same room as the switchboard, which feeds it. B. Vocational (shop) classrooms shall have mushroom head, emergency power off (EPO) switches installed to trip a shunt-trip main breaker in the room's power panel. Lights shall not be tripped off by activating the EPO system. C. Provide a connector to interlock kiln power outlets with the exhaust fan for the kiln (the exhaust fan must be on in order for kiln to operate). D. If individual panels are provided in shop, science and cooking classrooms and similar rooms, refrigerators shall be circuited to separate panel (so refrigerators can operate when main breakers to room are off). E. Typing and similar rooms shall have master control switches installed at the room door (either toggle switches, remote control switch to connector or a dedicated panel in the room). Do not provide master switches in Computer Classrooms. F. Every switch except light switches shall have engraved nameplate to describe the switch function. 2.05 ELECTRICAL CAPACITY AND CIRCUIT LOADING A. Duplex receptacles as described in Paragraph 2.01 in classrooms shall be provided with a minimum of two 20 ampere circuits per classroom. B. In offices connect not more than four duplex or 4-plex receptacles per 20 ampere circuit. C. Each classroom or office circuit may also feed not more than one corridor, outdoor or storage/equipment room receptacle. D. In general, continuous lighting or motor loads shall not be connected to receptacle circuits. It is acceptable, however, to connect non-continuous lights such as closet or equipment room lights (not over 300W per circuit) to receptacle circuits, especially in 480/277V buildings. E. Panel board feeders shall be sized with 25% minimum spare capacity. F. It is anticipated that a significant amount of the actual receptacle loads will be computers and similar equipment. Consideration should be given to sizing feeder neutrals to 208Y/120V receptacles panels at 173% of phase leg sizes and transformers (if used) be suitable for non-linear loads. G. Service entrance and distribution centers shall be provided with spare breakers or fused switches (at least two 100A and one 200A at 208Y/120V in services in elementary schools, quantities to be determined for larger buildings).
DIVISION 16
H. Provide a 200A, 208/120V, 3 phase, 4 wire feeder to an exterior gutter for portable classrooms at all school projects. This gutter to be located where accessible for portable classroom additions. A maximum of six classrooms can be connected to this gutter. Calculated load for this gutter shall be 200 amperes. I. Initial design of lighting and appliance branch circuit panel boards shall be made on the following basis: Panel Size 12 circuit 18 circuit 24 circuit 30 circuit 42 circuit J. Max. Circuits Connected 8 14 18 24 34 Min. Spares 4 4 6 6 8
20A-1P circuit breakers shall be provided for the spare circuits and it is intended that these spares shall be used for small remodel projects.
K. Flush panel boards shall have spare conduits stubbed out to attic, tunnel or accessible ceiling space on the basis of one 3/4" conduit per three spares or spaces plus at least one, L. 1" conduit on 200A and larger panels. 2.06 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SELECTION A. Electrical service and distribution systems shall normally be rated 208Y/120V and/or 480Y/277V, 3 phase, 4 wire. B. 480Y/277V systems should not be used for smaller buildings unless a major portion of the load will operate without transformation on the 277 or 480V circuits. Most evaporative cooled elementary schools will have too much 120V load to justify the 480/277V system. The Engineer shall select the most economical power system for the project. C. When 480Y/277V systems are used, utilization equipment shall be selected to minimize transformation. D. On high schools, primary voltage services may be continued in use or renovated if analysis proves this to be the most economical distribution method. New high schools should be designed using 480Y/277V power service rather than primary voltage, unless a significant life cycle cost savings can be proven for primary voltage. 4KV primary system shall be used not 14KV. E. It is recommended that service entrances be built with a single service disconnecting means rather than multiple mains and that the switchboard bus work on the line side of the main be as minimal as possible. Ground fault protection is desirable on all 480/277V services to minimize the damage due to arcing faults. Ground fault settings shall coordinate with 20A 277V lighting breakers for all possible magnitudes of ground fault current. 2.07 COORDINATION WITH OTHER TRADES A. Electrical drawings shall include the outlet and wiring layouts for all work, which the electrical contractor will install. B. When it is intended that conduit and wiring for HVAC controls be installed by the electrical contractor, that conduit and wiring layout shall be included in the electrical plans. Special attention shall be given to coordination of the supplying of starters.

If middle and high schools anticipate taking advantage of the Whittle Channel, one program, then a permanent television would be mounted in each classroom and the CCTV outlets should be located approximately 6'0" AAF. If the school does not expect to take advantage of this program (and all elementary schools) then mount the CCTV outlets low to be convenient for portable television use. C. Always provide a 120V receptacle outlet adjacent to the CCTV outlet. This outlet can be connected to the normal receptacle circuits in the room. D. In addition to classrooms, provide CCTV outlets in principal's office, library, cafeteria, multi-purpose room, stage and any other location requested. E. A location shall be provided for CCTV head end equipment, generally in the library workroom. Provide cable TV service to this location.

The documentation portion is the creation of the system and documents that are required to manage and maintain the end-to-end connectivity. Vendor will supply pre-printed labeling in sequence with the existing cable plant. 7.02 Administration Hardware
Termination hardware shall be mounted on contractor supplied 3/4" plywood backboard in the telephone closet and main crossconnect. The plywood shall be painted a light neutral color with fire resistant or retardant paint. It is the vendors responsibility to verify the acceptability of the plywood installation prior to TC or IDF or MC or MDF completion. Additional plywood backing, after room completion, shall be installed and painted by the cable vendor at no additional expense to the District. Rev. 01/01/2007 Technology/Communications - 17 Page 10 of 16
DIVISION 17 The material connected to the administration hardware provides for the interconnection of two or more elements or their subcomponents. The cross-connections formed here are distinguished from the more permanent joining of cables such as splice or taps, in that they can be readily rearranged or new ones formed as required. A coding scheme, both symbolic and color, is applied to each of the components to allow a circuit to be traced from end to end. Logical arrangement of the hardware in a closet or an equipment room is also an important part of hardware administration. Patch panels, equipment racks, and punch down blocks shall be arranged in such a manner that allows for natural wiring progression and minimizes crossing of the wires. They shall also be arranged in such a manner that allows for easy access to each component for the purpose of testing as well as moves, additions and changes. 7.02.1 Cross-Connect Field Color Coding The connecting hardware shall be color coded to allow easy tracking of the origins and mechanical termination points of a group of wire pairs. The EIA 568A standard color codes are as follows:
Green White Blue Purple Yellow Blue Red w/Yellow Boots
Leads from the Central Office (Trunk Ports, Network Interface or Nl) Leads from horizontal wiring voice (work and classroom areas) Leads from horizontal wiring data - (work and classroom areas) Leads from common equipment ports (e.g. cache engine/content engine) Patch Cords on Patch Panels designates Instructional Ports Patch Cords on Patch Panels designates Administrative Ports Patch Panels designates cross-cables used between swtiches, hubs, etc.

APPENDIX B: ACCESSIBILITY
B001
GENERAL a. All school buildings must provide education facilities that are handicapped accessible.
B002 B002-1
FEDERAL LAWS Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1974 (updated July 2003) a. All school districts are responsible for coordination and implementation of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the American Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibits discrimination based on disability. Each district must have a selfevaluation and transition plan required under both of these statutes and a grievance procedure required under Title II of the ADA. This is not to say that all existing buildings must be fully accessible. However, all buildings within a school district must provide access to all programs in each building. This will require access into the building, at least one fully compliant toilet room for girls with another for boys, a drinking fountain, a telephone, additional accessible toilet rooms in large buildings where the travel is a long distance, a few accessible classrooms, and all program spaces must be accessible. Program spaces include the cafeteria, auditorium, gymnasium, library, media center, a music/band room, a technology room, an art room, a home and career room, a science room, etc. An elevator (or ramp) is not necessarily required if all the program spaces are on one accessible floor; nor does every toilet room need to be accessible as long as the distance to an accessible toilet room is close in travel time, even if by elevator.
b.
B002-2
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Public Law 101-336,42 U.S.C.12101 ET SEQ. c. All districts to have made "reasonable" modifications to provide accessibility in existing buildings as required by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The ADA required an evaluation, a transition plan, and the removal of architectural barriers to be completed by all school districts prior to January 26, 1995. In that sense, basic modifications should have been made in response to the required ADA plan by January 26, 1995. When plans for reconstruction to a building are submitted to Facilities Planning, we specifically check for any previous or current modifications for accessibility.
B003
FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT a. b. Federal Law is administered in the field by periodic inspection and/or investigation of existing buildings. School districts must meet the requirements for program access and building access as required at the time of inspection. Existing buildings must meet Federal Law and these standards should be satisfied during such work.
B004
CODE COMPLIANCE a. All new construction must meet Code requirements and the referenced International Code Council (ICC) / American National Standards Institute (ANSI) - Standard ICC/ANSI A117.1 - 2005 relating to access and the Standard ANSI A17.1 1987 relating to vertical access.
B005
PROCEDURE c. d. State Law must be met by reference and detail on plans and in specifications. The design professional must certify to this. Generally new construction will meet the requirements of Federal Law. Additions and alteration work must meet recommended standards for new construction.
B006
PLANNING GUIDELINES
The following four pages are a guide to assist design professionals and school districts in reviewing current conditions and planning for future accessibility provisions.
ACCESSIBLE APPROACH / ENTRANCE People with disabilities should be able to arrive on the site, approach the building, and enter as freely as everyone else. At least one route of travel shall be safe and accessible for everyone, including people with disabilities. Accessible Routes (ADAAG 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.7) Is there an exterior route of travel that does not require the use of stairs? Do curbs on the route have curb cuts at drives, parking, and drop-offs?
Yes No
Ramps (ADAAG 4.8) Do all ramps longer than 6 feet have railings on both sides? Is there a 5-foot-long level landing at every 30-foot horizontal length of ramp, at the top and bottom of ramps and at switchbacks? Does the ramp rise no more than 30 inches between landings?
Parking and Drop-Off Areas (ADAAG 4.6) Are an adequate number of accessible parking spaces available? (8 feet wide for car plus 5-foot access aisle)? For guidance in determining the appropriate number to designate, the table below gives the Code requirements for new construction and alterations (for lots with more than 100 spaces, refer to ADAAG): Total spaces Accessible 1 to 25 1 space 26 to 50 2 spaces 51 to 75 3 spaces 76 to 100 4 spaces Are 8-foot-wide spaces, with minimum 8-footwide access aisles, and 98 inches of vertical clearance, available for lift-equipped vans? At least one of every 8 accessible spaces must be van-accessible (with a minimum of one van-accessible space in all cases). Are the accessible spaces closest to the accessible entrance? Are accessible spaces marked with the International Symbol of Accessibility? Are there signs reading Van Accessible at van spaces? Are No Parking signs posted at the accessible Aisles? Is there a painted crosswalk between the accessible parking area and the closest curb ramp to the building?
Accessible Routes (ADAAG 4.13, 4.14, 4.5) If there are stairs at the main entrance, is there also a ramp or lift, or is there an alternative accessible entrance? (Do not use a service entrance as the accessible entrance unless there is no other option.) Do all inaccessible entrances have signs indicating the location of the nearest accessible entrance? Does the entrance door have at least 32 inches clear opening (For a double door, at least one 34-inch leaf)?
Is there at least 18 inches of clear wall space on the pull side of the door, next to the handle? (A person using a wheelchair or crutches needs this space to get close enough to open the door.)POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS))
ACCESS TO GOODS AND SERVICES Ideally, the layout of the building should allow people with disabilities to obtain materials or services without assistance. Accessible routes (ADAAG 4.3) Does the accessible entrance provide direct access to the main floor, lobby, or elevator? Are all student/staff spaces on an accessible route of travel?
Yes No
Doors (ADAAG 4.13) Do doors into student/staff spaces have at least a 32-inch clear opening? On the pull side of doors, next to the handle, is there at least 18 inches of clear wall space so that a person using a wheelchair or crutches can get near to open the door?
Turning Space (ADAAG 4.2, 4.4, 4.5) Is there a 5-foot circle or T-shaped space for turning a wheelchair completely? Alarms (ADAAG 4.28; NFPA 72) If emergency systems are provided, do they have both flashing lights and audible signals? Reach Ranges (ADAAG 4.27) Are all controls that are available for use by the student and staff (including electrical, mechanical, cabinet, game, and self-service controls) located at an accessible height? Reach ranges: The maximum height for a side reach and for a forward reach, 48 inches. The minimum reachable height is 15 inches for a front approach and 9 inches for a side approach. Assembly Areas (ADAAG 4.2, 4.32, 7.2) Are the aisles between fixed seating at least 36 inches wide? Are the spaces for wheelchair seating distributed throughout?

Review specific requirements with TUSD Project Manager
Components of a Diapering Change Area

1. Establish one location for diapering activities. This area must never be used for classroom activities, health office activities, food, or medication/treatment preparation. Rationale: Feces are a source of multiple organisms that cause gastrointestinal infections. Cross contamination of fecal material to hands to mouth must be avoided. The health office restroom must be used by ill students who may be vomiting, have diarrhea, or other acute infectious illness; therefore it is an inappropriate place to diaper special needs students. 2. Diapering areas must be adjacent to a hand-washing sink, supplied with running water, liquid soap and disposable paper towels. The sink may never be used as a source of drinking water, classroom activity water, food preparation water, or medication/treatment preparation water. Running water temperature should be between 86 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Rationale: See step 1 above. 3. A plastic lined container must be available for trash disposal. A separate plastic lined container, with foot operated lid, must be available for soiled disposable diapers. 4. Changing Table Requirements: A. There should be at least a five-foot clearance on the front side of the diapering table to allow adequate space for wheelchairs and transfer activities. B. Changing tables for diapering and related activities must be sturdy and have a height to minimize back strain for the average height staff person. Changing tables must have a safety-retaining rail to prevent child from rolling off. Safety retaining rail should preferably be hinged and capable of folding down flat to facilitate transfer of child to table. If children are over 50 Ibs., consideration must be made for 2 person transfers and/or mechanical lift assistive devise, and/or adjustable height table C. Commercially laundered towel or disposable paper product may be used to cover the surface for each child. Such covers must be for single use only replaced between each child and properly disposed of in a soiled linen container or the plastic lined disposable diaper container. D. The surface of the changing table must be sanitized with TUSD approved disinfecting spray obtained from the custodian. The spray must be kept in the original labeled container provided by the custodian. The solution must remain on the changing table surface for the manufacturer's recommended time.
Tucson Unified School District Special Health Care Needs Manual Section 6 Diapering Revised: 06/2004
Diapering Area Set-up Check List

Instructions: When evaluating potential diapering areas, place a check mark by each of the requirements listed below that the area has. To be considered an acceptable diapering area, all criteria must be met. The area protects student privacy during diapering and/or catheterization procedurE A hand-washing sink is located near the diaper changing area. The hand washing sink and counter area is not used to draw drinking water, prepare food, administer medications or administration of other treatments. Running water should be between 86 and 110 degrees The use of the sink and area for diapering should not disrupt the normal provision of services to other students unless arrangements are made for alternate coverage. A plastic lined container must be available for trash disposal. A separate plastic lined container, with foot operated lid, must be available for soiled disposable diapers There should be at least a five-foot clearance on the front side of the diapering table to allow wheelchair accessibility. The changing table is sturdy and has a height to minimize back strain for the average height staff person. The changing table should have a seamless, smooth, and nonpermable surface to allow for adequate cleaning and disinfecting. Any towel or paper product used under the student is commercially laundered and used once per each student or disposable and used once per each student. If student over 50 lb. is diapered, a two staff transfer is to be used. Unusual orthopedic/health conditions may indicate the need for mechanical assistive devises or adjustable height gurneys. Adequate storage is available for diapering/catheterization supplies. Adequate storage for disinfecting spray solution, out of reach of students is available. Antibacterial soap and disposable towel dispensers are available at sink and stocked at all times.

Diapering Procedure
PROCEDURE GUIDELINES FOR INFECTION CONTROL IN DIAPERING A. A covered container, preferably foot controlled with plastic liners must be used for disposable diapers and related disposable products used in diapering. Container must be emptied in outside proper dumpster at end of school day or more often if full. RATIONALE
A. Covered, foot controlled containers odors and cross contamination of hands and gloves.
B. A separate, preferably foot

controlled covered container, trolled, with plastic liners must be used for towels and washcloths. Towels and washcloths must be commercially laundered. C. The child's soiled clothing should be placed in an individual plastic bag, tied and returned to the child's parent at the end of the school day. Solid feces should be dumped from the diaper/clothing directly into the toilet and flushed. The diaper or clothing item should not be soaked in the toilet.

Disposable towelettes and other diapering products must be in an individual container, labeled with child's name, stored in child's individual cubby/container, and used only for that child
C. School washers and dryers are for light soil items. They cannot adequately sanitize towels and washcloths in group childcare where high-risk pathogens are likely to present. D. Soaking diapers and/or clothing in a public toilet increases likely hood of cross contamination of pathogens between students and staff.
D. Cross use of supplies risks contamination of supplies from staff hands/gloves.
Wash hands and check all supplies before bringing the child to the diapering area. 1. Place child on disposable paper or single commercially laundered towel. 2 Put on disposable gloves
Never leave a child unattended on diapering surfaces. 1. Do not stack pad of towels for multiple child use. High risk for cross contamination.
2. Any diapering activity is a potential exposure to body fluids or. pathogens.
3. Remove soiled diaper/clothing.
4. Single swipes with clean 4. Clean child's perineal area with

child's individual towelettes or tissue. Use wet wipes or towelettes only once, wiping from girl's vaginal area to the rectal area. Boys should be wiped' from the penis to the rectal area. 5. Raise the pupil's legs, remove the diaper. Place the soiled diaper and any used towelletes in the covered disposable diaper container utilizing the foot control for the lid. If the lid is notfoot controlled, the soiled diaper may be placed on several sheets of clean, single-use disposable towels or a plastic bag that has been placed on the changing table within reach of staff person before starting the diaper change. 6. Wash the child's buttocks with a clean towellette or with a clean, warm, wet commercially laundered washcloth. 6. Wash even if not obviously soiled to prevent skin breakdown and infection of unseen contamination by fecal/urine. 5. If foot controlled container is not available, do not attempt to dispose of soiled diaper during diapering process. Touching container lid with gloved hand contaminates the lid. Ungloving and turning from the child risks child rolling off changing surface. towellete or tissue from front to back minimizes risk of contaminating urinary urethra with fecal pathogens.
7. If paper or towel is soiled, fold up clean end to lay child back on or slip another clean sheet or towel beneath child. 8. Apply skin ointment or lotion only if supplied by the parent and approved as part of the health plan of care by the school nurse. 8. Using child specifically approved ointments risks allergic reactions and cross contamination. Some skin conditions, such as yeast infections, may be made worse by the incorrect product. 9. Remove gloves. Use clean towellete to wipe hands if soiled 10. Dispose of soiled gloves and towellete in foot operated soiled diaper container or place on top of soiled diaper for later disposal. Reglove with clean gloves. 11. Place clean diaper on child. Redress child. 12. Wash child's hands with liquid soap and under running water. Dry child's hands with clean single-use disposable paper towel. All children are to have hands washed after diapering regardless of age or participation in diapering process. 13. Remove gloves and dispose of properly. 14. Return the child to wheelchair or appropriate activity area. 16. Clean and disinfect the diaper area and all contaminated surfaces with TUSD approved spray disinfectant obtained from custodian. 14. Protects child from falls and injury before proceeding with clean up. 16. TUSD approved germicidal spray must be left on the diapering surface for the minimal time indicated by the label instructions for effective infection control.
10. Touching container lid with gloved hand contaminates the lid. Ungloving and turning from the child risks child rolling off changing surface.
17. Wash hands with liquid soap and running water. Dry with singleuse disposable paper towel. Dispose of paper towel properly. 18. Document on dated and timed log includes any notations on unusual character of urine/feces or skin condition Report to the school nurse and parent any unusual observation.
