Civilian and military retirees who conduct commercial business on base must obtain a Contractor Identification Badge through their place of employment.

All contractors/contractor personnel shall be subject to background checks in accordance with TAFB Plan 31-101 . Contractors shall be responsible to verify the residency and/or citizenship status of all employees prior to submitting requests for Contractor Identification Badges. Identification will be surrendered to Security Forces personnel upon demand for the purpose of identification, investigation, abuse, misuse, or for any other reason necessary.

January 2022 Page 2 Section 00 70 00

Contractors shall develop procedures for badge control that include the turn-in of issued badges by personnel who no longer require base entry.

In accordance with TAFB Plan 31-101 , all contractors/contractor personnel will be assessed a charge of $50.00 for each badge lost, willfully damaged, or not surrendered to Pass and Registration. No charge will be made on a replacement required due to normal wear. Personnel will report to Accounting and Finance, Accounts Receivable Unit and a DD Form 1131, Cash Collection Voucher, will be prepared and presented to Pass and Registration prior to issuing replacement identification.

1.3.2 Work Schedules

The Contractor shall arrange their work schedules to coincide with the normal duty hours of the Civil Engineering Directorate, Tinker Air Force Base (0715 - 1600, Monday thru Friday). Work schedules other than the standard Civil Engineering Directorate eight-hour shift may only be permitted for the most urgent reasons, or as directed/approved by the Contracting Officer. Should the Contractor desire to work other than normal duty hours (including federal holidays, see below) for his own convenience, a written request shall be submitted for approval by the Contracting Officer a minimum 48 hours in advance of the desired period.

Changes to normal work hours due to contract requirements shall be specified in other sections of the contract documents.

1.3.3 Federal Holidays

Federal holidays are as follows:

FEDERAL HOLIDAYS

January New Year's Day Martin Luther King Jr. Day

February President's Day

May Memorial Day

June Juneteenth National Independence Day

July Independance Day

September Labor Day

October Columbus Day

November Veteran's Day Thanksgiving Day

December Christmas Day

Note: In addition, for holidays that fall on a weekend, government employees will be off on the Friday before or the Monday after the holiday.

1.3.4 Commencement of Work

The Contractor shall provide written notice to the Contracting Officer a

January 2022 Page 3 Section 00 70 00 minimum of seven (7) calendar days prior to commencing work on a project site, designating the date the Contractor intends to begin work. The Contractor shall notify the Construction Inspector five (5) business days prior to commencing work on a project site. After a work delay exceeding twenty-four hours, the Construction Inspector shall be notified one (1) business day prior to resuming work on a project site. Failure of the Contractor to comply with these requirements may result in removal of work completed prior to making the proper notifications, in order to perform required inspections, at no additional cost to the Government.

1.3.5 Time Extensions for Unusually Severe Weather

This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather. In order for the Contracting Officer to grant a time extension under this provision, the following conditions must be satisfied:

The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during that month.

The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather days is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

MONTHLY ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DAYS

(Based on NOAA Summary Monthly Normals for Oklahoma City Will Rogers)

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC

3 3 5 5 6 6 4 5 5 5 4 3

Upon acknowledgement of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the Contractor shall report the occurrence of unusually adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent of more of the Contractor's scheduled work day.

The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of anticipated days in the paragraph above, the Contracting Officer may convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather days.

For projects susceptible to unusually inclement weather, the Contractor may request a "winter recess" from the Contracting Officer. Winter recess timeframe exists from 21 December through 15 March. Be advised that winter recess will not be interpreted as a Government caused delay in

January 2022 Page 4 Section 00 70 00 which damages may be requested by the Contractor. Once the winter recess has been established via modification to the contract, it will remain in force until lifted by the Contracting Officer by the request of the Contractor, or 15 March. The remaining period of performance will then be reestablished upon termination of the winter recess. Under no condition shall the Contractor leave a construction site for a winter recess until written authorization is received from the Contracting Officer, and the project site has been inspected by the Construction Inspector and determined to be sufficiently sustainable through the winter recess.

1.3.6 Work Site Review

Prior to starting any work, the Contractor shall inspect the work area(s) to determine the physical condition of the area. The Contractor, as a result of this inspection, shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, of any existing damage(s) or condition(s) that could interfere with work on this contract.

1.3.7 Crane/Lift Usage Restrictions

No construction that may affect air navigation will commence until the 72nd ABW/CC has approved an Airfield Construction Waiver. This includes all proposed operations on Tinker AFB that will involve equipment which extends above the roofline of the adjacent facilities (e.g. cranes, telescoping boom forklifts and manlifts, etc.).

Reference Section 00 71 00 GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION ON TINKER AIR FORCE BASE for additional information regarding airfield construction waivers.

1.3.8 Utility Outages

Utility outages frequently affect more than one facility or organization and require extensive coordination. For this reason, the Contractor shall submit all requests for outages, in writing, to the Contracting Officer a mi ni mum of 21 days i n advance of t he pr oposed out age. Outages shall be requested in accordance with the TAFB Outage SOP utilizing Attachment 1 - TAFB Outage Request Form. Each outage request shall include the following as a minimum: Type of outage (steam, water, electric, etc.), project name and number, facility/facilities affected (to the best of the contractors knowledge), requested date(s), duration, and a description of the work to be accomplished.

Outages shall occur during non-standard hours (between 1800 Friday and 0600 Monday, and/or federal holidays) in order to reduce impacts to affected Government agenies and their mmission. Localized outages (those affecting single organization and/or small portion of a facility may be requested to occur during normal working hours ; this will be coordinated on a case-by-case basis through the Contracting Officer.

While every attempt will be made to meet the Contractor's requested dates and times, actual utility outage dates and times will be ultimately be determined by the affected Government agencies and their respective mission requirements. The Contractor shall not proceed with any utility outage until notified by the Contracting Officer of the actual date of the outage.

When outages that affect the Government's ability to heat facilities are scheduled (including natural gas, steam, and electric outages), the

January 2022 Page 5 Section 00 70 00 contractor shall take the necessary measures to protect the interior of the subject facility/facilities from freezing. If such measures are impractical, the Government reserves the right to cancel any outage where temperatures are expected to remain below 40° F for prolonged periods.

When outages that may affect 72ABW/SC (Communications Directorate) facilities/ equipment are scheduled (including cooling and electric outages), outages shall occur during the regularly scheduled downtimes, usually Saturday at 2200 through Sunday at 0600. If these times are impractical, alternative times may be considered (the Communications Directorate will be responsible for verifying/coordinating alternative times); however, the contractor shall be responsible to provide the necessary provisions to maintain reliable operation of the affected facilities/equipment during these times.

The Contractor shall consult with Government shop personnel, through the Construction Inspector, concerning utility isolation points; on a case-by-case basis, authority may be granted for the Contractor to perform the utility isolation without Government shop personnel present. In those cases, the contractor shall be responsible for isolating and restoring the utility, and re-setting any equipment affected by the outage, assuming that the equipment is located in the area turned over to him/her as part of the construction contract. NOTE: The primary electrical service, 12.47kv, is owned by OG&E. Only OG&E with coordination of the Government (Exterior Electric) personnel can isolate any primary electric source or restore primary electric power, unless express authorization has been granted by the Contracting Officer.

Prior to commencing the outage, the Contractor shall perform all testing and inspections required in the specifications and/or on the project drawings. The Contractor shall coordinate between the Construction Inspector and Government shops to ensure all necessary work has been completed satisfactorily prior to beginning the outage. The Contractor shall have all tools, equipment, materials and personnel required on site prior to the start of the utility outage. At the conclusion of the outage, contractor personnel will be required to remain on site until Government shop personnel have restored the utility and ensured that all affected equipment is operating properly.

Failure of a contractor to be on-site for a coordinated utility outage may result in claims for costs associated with support by Government shop personnel. In addition, because outages can affect the mission, and specifically production schedules, failure of a contractor to be on-site for a coordinated utility outage may result in claims for costs associated with lost production time.

1.3.9 Closures

Closures of paved areas (e.g. roads, lanes, parking), facilities, or portions of facilities (e.g. doorways, aisles, restrooms) frequently affect more than one facility or organization and require extensive coordination. For this reason, the Contractor shall submit all requests for closures, in writing, to the Contracting Officer a mi ni mum of 60 days i n advance of t he pr oposed cl osur e. Closures will be advertised in the affected facilities and/or the base newspaper for a minimum of 30 days before construction starts.

Closures shall be requested in accordance with TAFB Outage SOP utilizing TAFB Outage Request Form (Attachment 1). Each closure request shall

January 2022 Page 6 Section 00 70 00 include the following as a minimum: Type of closure, project name and number, facility/facilities affected, requested date(s), duration, and a description of the work to be accomplished. While every attempt will be made to meet the Contractor's requested dates, actual closure start dates will be ultimately be determined by the affected Government agencies and their respective mission requirements. The Contractor shall not proceed with any closure until notified by the Contracting Officer of the approved date.

1.3.10 Temporary Power

The Contractor shall assess power requirements for construction and shall make a request to the Contracting Officer regarding location of transformer and location of tap into existing primary power grid. Under no circumstance shall the Contractor install temporary power prior to receiving written approval from the Contracting Officer. Contractor is solely responsible at his/her expense for supplying and installing required transformers and making the primary connection once his/her electrical plan is approved. Only OG&E personnel can isolate any primary electric source so that the Contractor can make his connection. The Contractor shall request the electrical outage as required in paragraph

1.3.7 above. An outage shall only be made if the Contractor is ready to install his fused cutouts or other isolating/switching media and the duration of the outage shall be minimized to the fullest extent.

When portable generator is used to provide temporary power, the Generator shall be placed a minimum of 150 ft. away from any fresh air intake for facility HVAC units.

1.3.11 Fire Alarms

The Contractor shall be responsible for pre-construction testing and re-certification of all Fire Alarm systems that are modified by addition, deletion or relocation of devices during construction. All testing and certification shall be IAW the requirements of NFPA 72 , NFPA 70 , UFC 3-600-01 , and UFC 3-601-02 .

Contractors shall test all fire alarm systems prior to starting construction. Testing shall be coordinated through the Contracting Officer or their designated representive. All testing shall occur during normal working hours, Wednesday through Friday. During pre-construction testing, contractor should note all deficiencies with the existing fire alarm system that are outside the scope of the contract. Pre-construction testing will be witnessed, as a minimum, by the Construction Inspector.

Any deficiencies found by the Contractor or the Government after construction has started, and were not noted during the pre-construction testing, will be the responsibility of the contractor to repair at no additional cost to the government. A copy of the pre-construction testing record shall be forwarded to the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall be responsible for forwarding a certificate of completion and testing to the Contracting Officer and CEF upon construction close-out procedures.

1.3.12 Mechanical, Electrical, and Comm. Room Controlled Access

1.4 WELDING, CUTTING AND BRAZING

An AF Form 592, USAF Welding, Cutting and Brazing Permit ('Hot Work' permit), shall be obtained from the Base Fire Department 24 hours prior to any flame or spark producing activities such as grinding, welding, cutting, soldering or brazing. The 'Hot Work' permit shall be maintained on the job site by the Contractor at all times. Upon receipt, the Contractor shall submit a copy of all permits to the Contracting Officer.

All hot work must be accomplished IAW the requirements of NFPA 51B, NFPA 241 , and AFMAN 91-203 paragraph 27.2.4. Storage of all portable gas cylinders shall comply with NFPA 55 . IAW 29 CFR 1910-SUBPART Q , adequate controls must be used to ensure that welding operations do not create a hazard for building occupants.

1.5 EXCAVATION ON TINKER AFB

Contractors shall use extreme care in all excavations on Tinker AFB.

Subsurface utilities are of a congested nature. Damaging these systems in some areas could result in thousands of man-hours of lost production time, which in-turn may result in claims against the Contractor for failure to protect these utilities. Refer to Section 00 71 00 and UFC 3-260-01 for requirements related to excavation adjacent to runways, taxiways, and aprons.

1.5.1 Protection of Existing Utilities During Excavation

1.5.1.1 General Requirements for Excavation

Excavation may be accomplished by hand or by use of a power equipment;

however, the use of continuous trenchers or vibratory plows is prohibited unless permission is obtained, in writing, from the Contracting Officer prior to bringing equipment on base.

All plan information and line markings are to be considered approximate.

To preclude accidental damge, the Contractor shall physically verify underground utilities marked in the field or identified on drawings, when any adjacent construction work is expected to come within 6 feet of the underground system. The contractor may utilize methods such as hand digging or potholing by hydro-excavation, and must completely expose the line to ensure proper identification. After all lines are so located and completely exposed to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer, machine excavation may begin. Under no circumstances shall machine excavation be used immediately adjacent to a known unexposed utility.

The Contractor shall note all utilities discovered during excavation (including those that are missing, incorrect, or abandoned) on the working as-built drawings (reference Tinker General Specification Section 01 78 00 CLOSEOUT SUBMITTALS for addition information regarding working as-built drawings). Information to be noted shall include, but is not be limited to:

- Actual location of all subsurface utility lines encountered (referenced with offset dimensions from fixed surface feature)

- Changes in direction (referenced by offset dimensions to two permanently fixed surface features)

- Valves, splice boxes, etc. (located by dimensioning along the utility run from a fixed reference point

January 2022 Page 10 Section 00 70 00

- Utility dimension (pipe size)

- Depth below the surface of each located utility.

If lines identified/marked by the Government are broken, all repair costs for damages shall be incurred by the Contractor. If the Contractor is deemed responsible for the damaged line, he shall immediately repair the line to its prior condition. In an emergency situation, or if the CO determines the Contractor is not responding within a reasonable time, the Government reserves the right to repair the damage and bill the Contractor at CE shop rates.

If the broken line is not flagged or identified on the drawings, the repair cost will be incurred by the Government, unless determined otherwise by the CO.

1.5.1.2 Exterior Excavation

Before any excavation can begin, the Contractor shall mark all locations of proposed excavation (to include all building lines and proposed routes of utilities). Markings shall be made using materials that are reasonably permanent/immovable such as paint or dye. The Contractor will then go to CE Engineering Support, Building 400, second floor (northwest corner) and request a Tinker Excavation Permit Request form. The Contractor is responsible for the following key items:

- Have the excavation site clearly marked in the field

- Complete blocks 4-9 on Tinker Excavation Permit Request (most current edition)

- Attach a site location map clearly highlighted to show the limits of excavation (maps are available from Engineering Support).

- Obtain a control number from CALL-OKIE (for all commercial utilities located on Tinker)

Excavation permit processing will not begin until the Contractor provides proof of an approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).

Reference Section 00 72 00 GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION ON TINKER AIR FORCE BASE for additional information regarding the SWPPP.

The Contractor shall not begin excavation until receipt of an approved Tinker Excavation Permit Request is made. The Tinker Excavation Permit Request shall be maintained at the construction site and made available for inspection by the Government. The Contractor shall be responsible for renewing the Tinker Excavation Permit Request every 30 days for as long as there is excavation in-progress for a given location.

The Government will mark existing buried utility lines as part of the Excavation Permit approval process. It is the Contractor's responsibility to maintain the line markings once the Excavation Permit is approved; if the original line markings are no longer visible, the contractor shall notify the Construction Inspector, who in turn will coordinate with the proper shop personnel to re-mark the lines. Failure of the Contractor to maintain markings will be cause for the Contracting Officer to bill the Contractor for the Government's additional costs to re-mark lines.

1.5.1.3 Interior Excavation

In general, only those utilities which pass through a facility will be marked; utility lines or laterals which terminate within the facility will

January 2022 Page 11 Section 00 70 00 not be marked. When contract documents require excavation through a floor slab, the contractor shall utilize design or as-built plans to locate under-floor utilities; the CE Engineering Support office will provide research assistance upon request.

All plan information is to be considered approximate and shall be field verified by the Contractor (see paragraph GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR EXCAVATION for additional information).

1.5.2 Safety During Excavation

The Contractor shall notify the Construction Inspector and the Contracting Officer prior to commencing open trench excavation with a depth of four feet or more. The Construction Inspector will in turn notify the Tinker Ground Safety Office. All excavations, trenches, open manholes, etc., shall be properly shored, braced, barricaded or guarded in accordance with the provisions of 29 CFR 1926 , Safety and Health Regulations for Construction. Warning lights or other illumination maintained from sunset to sun up shall be placed at all excavations which are adjacent to pedestrian or vehicle thoroughfares. Adequate physical protection shall be provided at all remotely located excavations.

1.6 TRAFFIC

All Contractor personnel shall observe base traffic regulations.

Information regarding such regulations shall be obtained from the Contracting Officer.

OF SPECIAL NOTE, vehicle operators on Tinker Air Force Base shall not use cell phones unless the vehicle is safely parked or unless they are using a hands-free device. Using a cell phone while driving without a hands-free device is considered a "primary offense," meaning that violators can be stopped solely for this offense. The repercussions if found in violation are:

- First offense: Suspension of driving privileges for 7 days

- Second offense: Revocation of driving privileges for 30 days

- Third offense: Banned from driving on Base for 90 days

All contractor vehicles shall be conspicuously marked with the contractor's company name by means of permanent marking, magnetic sign, etc.

All truck traffic must enter and exit Tinker AFB through designated commercial truck gates. The commercial truck gates are as follows:

- Truck Gate (Gate 33) Location: South Air Depot & SE 59th Street.

Hours of Operation: 0600-1600 Monday thru Friday (excluding federal holidays)

- Piazza Gate (Gate 31) Location: South Midwest Boulevard & SE 74th Street Hours Operation: 1600-0600 Monday thru Friday; weekends; and federal holidays

The truck gate entry procedures entail normal entry requirements as well as driver ID and verification of bill of lading/manifest. After verification, trucks are directed to the search area. Once the trucks

January 2022 Page 12 Section 00 70 00 have been searched, they will be allowed to proceed to their destination.

Entry procedures will allow certain vehicles, containing time-sensitive cargo (i.e., cement trucks, blood mobile, etc) the ability to prioritize their place in queue and facilitate entry onto the installation.

Prioritization may be facilitated by calling ahead to 734-2008.

Personnel assigned to Tinker AFB, to include all permanent and temporary contractors in possession of a valid Tinker AFB issued contractor's badge, may act as a sponsor and provide escort to trucks entering the installation. When Entry Access List (EAL) is required, sponsors must hand-carry the EAL to the Security Forces Operations Section for authentication (faxes, calls and emails are not permitted).

The Airfield Manager will establish haul routes on and off the airfield.

Refer to Section 00 71 00 for additional information.

The Contractor shall maintain at least one lane (on four lane roads, at least two lanes) of traffic at all times in all streets, roads and driveways unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer. Street closures shall be limited to seven days maximum for any utility crossing a roadway (this time includes trenching, compaction, and replacement of existing pavements). The Contractor shall provide steel matting equipment sufficient to carry traffic loading over excavated area.

1.7 TOBACCO USE ON TINKER AFB

AFI 48-104 and its supplements prohibit the use of smokeless and smoking tobacco in the work place at Tinker Air Force Base. Unless a "Designated Smoking Area" sign is posted, all areas on base are considered to be "no smoking" areas. AFI 48-104 further specifies that smoking in areas such as bathrooms, halls, offices, pit areas, break rooms, and aboard Air Force and contract aircraft, shall not be permitted. The Contractor and all employees, Subcontractors and lower tier subcontractors shall comply with the above AFI regulation. Contractor personnel shall not smoke atop buildings or in areas where such action is not authorized; in no instance within 100 feet of liquid fuel storage locations or parked aircraft or in any other area that would constitute a fire and/or explosion hazard. No smoking is allowed on aircraft parking ramps. Violation could result in the Contractor being removed from Tinker AFB permanently.
