G-3 DESIGNATION OF CONTRACTING OFFICER'S REPRESENTATIVE

The Contracting Officer designates the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The Contracting Officer’s Representative is responsible for administering the performance of work under this contract. In no event, however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order, or other matter deviating from the terms of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by proper contractual documents executed by the Contracting Officer prior to completion of the contract.

The Contracting Officer should be informed, as soon as possible, of any actions or inactions by the Contractor or the Government which will change the required delivery or completion times stated in the contract, and the contract will be modified accordingly. (This does not apply to individual task assignments which were issued by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, provided they do not affect the delivery schedule or performance period stated in the contract.)

On all matters that pertain to the contract terms, the Contractor must communicate with the Contracting Officer.

Whenever, in the opinion of the Contractor, the Contracting Officer’s Representative requests effort outside the scope of the contract, the Contractor should so advise the Contracting Officer’s Representative. If the Contracting Officer’s Representative persists and there still exists a disagreement as to proper contractual coverage, the Contracting Officer should be notified immediately, preferably in writing if time permits.

Proceeding with work without proper contractual coverage could result in nonpayment or necessitate submittal of a contract claim.

SECTION H--SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H-1 SITE SAFETY PLAN

The contractor shall submit a written site specific Safety Control Plan to ensure safety compliance when coordinating construction activities. The intent is to use this plan as a basis for evaluation and discussion at the pre-work and subsequent meetings to insure safe contractor operations. It will also be used as the safety standard during the course of the construction project.

H-2 LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION

(a) The Contractor shall not remove, deface, injure, or destroy trees, shrubs, lawns, or natural features not designated for treatment. The Contractor shall confine operations to within the clearing limits or other areas designated in the contract documents, and prevent the depositing of rocks, excavated materials, stumps, or other debris outside of these limits. Material which falls outside of these limits shall be retrieved, disposed of, or incorporated in the work as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(b) Prevention of Oil Spills. If the Contractor maintains storage facilities for oil or oil products on site, appropriate preventive measures shall be taken to insure that any spill of such oil or oil products does not enter any stream or other waters of the United States or any of the individual States. If a spill of petroleum product should occur in water, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Moisture Sensitive Soils

Contractors are cautioned that the roadway structure is designed so that the completed road will support highway legal loads during a limited use season. Construction equipment often subjects the uncompleted roadway structure to loadings it is not designed to support. This is especially critical during periods of excessive moisture. Materials on this project are sensitive to excessive moisture and will require careful selection and scheduling of equipment to permit efficient operation. Any damage resulting from operations, which renders the material unsuitable for use or results in potential siltation of streams, will be corrected by the Contractor at Contractor's expense.

H-3 AGAR 452.228-71 INSURANCE COVERAGE (NOV 1996)

Pursuant to FAR clause 52.228-5, Insurance-Work on a Government Installation, the Contractor will be required to present evidence to show, as a minimum, the amounts of insurance coverage indicated below:

(a) Workers Compensation and Employer's Liability. The Contractor is required to comply with applicable Federal and State workers' compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer's liability section of the insurance policy, except when contract operations are so commingled with a Contractor's commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage. Employer's liability coverage of at least $100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit worker's compensation to be written by private carriers.

Caldor Suppression Repair and GAOA John Don’t Page 20

(b) General Liability. The Contractor shall have bodily injury liability insurance coverage written on a comprehensive form of policy of at least $500,000 per occurrence.

(c) Automobile Liability. The Contractor shall have automobile liability insurance written on a comprehensive form of policy. The policy shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage or loss.

(d) Aircraft Public and Passenger Liability. When aircraft are used in connection with performing the contract, the Contractor shall have aircraft public and passenger liability insurance. Coverage shall be at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury, other than passenger injury. Coverage for passenger injury shall be at least $200,000 multiplied by the number of seats or passengers, whichever is greater.

H-4 CONTROL OF EROSION, SEDIMENTATION, AND POLLUTION (AGAR 452.236-74) (NOV

1996)

(a) Operations shall be scheduled and conducted to minimize erosion of soils and to prevent silting and muddying of streams, rivers, irrigation systems, and impoundments (lakes, reservoirs, etc.).
