SD-410 Review Process/Using the EMARC Review System

Smithsonian Directive (SD) 410 establishes authorities and responsibilities associated with the facilities building program as delegated by the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.

The Director, Office of Facilities Engineering and Operations (OFEO), is the designated Smithsonian code official who is delegated the responsibility for the planning, real estate management, design and construction services of the Smithsonian Institution. All facility-altering projects are managed by or through OFEO. This is applicable to all units, museums, and other Institution organizations. This directive is to ensure an appropriate level of quality standards to:

  • maintain the safety, health and welfare of
    Smithsonian visitors and staff;
  • protect, preserve, conserve, and secure the
    Smithsonian collections;
  • support the special needs of scientific programs;
  • preserve the Smithsonian buildings and their historic
    integrity;
  • assure that all construction is coordinated and
    tracked through a central source; and
    promote accurate record keeping.

Further SD-410 requires the Engineering & Design Division (EDD) provide architectural and engineering services for facility construction, renovation, and repair. This includes developing scopes of work for design services. EDD oversees contracted design efforts and is responsible for ensuring thorough project reviews and code/standards compliance for all physical plant construction and improvement projects.

On May 22, 2006 I-MANAGE replaced EMARC as the SD410 electronic review comment tracking system. Projects that were initiated before this date will continue to utilize EMARC for SD410 review comments until they are completed. Please consult with the OFEO Design Manager to determine which system is applicable. For information on using I-MANAGE please look at the "How To Use The System" page in I-MANAGE. Please note that I-MANAGE will support multiple registered users from both primes and consultants. This is a significant step up from EMARC.
