1.3 WORK PHASES

A. The Work in this contract shall be conducted in a single phase.

1.4 WORK UNDER OTHER CONTRACTS

A. General: Cooperate fully with separate contractors so work on those contracts may be carried out smoothly, without interfering with or delaying work under this Contract. Coordinate the Work of this Contract with work performed under separate contracts.

B. Preceding Work: Not Used.

C. Concurrent Work: Government will award separate contract(s) for the following construction operations at Project site. Those operations will be conducted simultaneously with work under this Contract.

1. Renovations to Building 728 will likely be ongoing while this project is under construction. The Contractor is to coordinate with the building contractor for connecting all utilities to this building to ensure the utilities are complete and operable.

D. Future Work: -Not Used.

1.5 CONTRACTOR USE OF PREMISES

A. General: Contractor shall have limited use of the site for construction operations during the construction period. Limit use of premises to the work area limits shown on the drawings. Do not disturb portions of Project site beyond areas in which the Work is indicated.

1. Limits: Confine construction operations to areas show on the Drawings. Modifications to these limits shall be approved by the Contracting Officer.

B. Storage of Materials: Confine storage of materials to Contractor Staging Area shown on drawings south of E. 5th Street.

C. Contractor field trailers to be located within designated staging areas shown on the drawings.

D. Preservation of Natural Features:

1. The Contractor shall work to prevent and avoid damage to natural and cultural resources.

If the Contractor foresees an unavoidable conflict between requirements of utility routing and ability to protect resources, the work in that area shall be discussed with COR and NPS Cultural staff no less than 2 business days before work is schedule to progress.

Should the Contractor’s actions result in damage to natural resources, the Contractor shall replace damaged trees and plants, in kind, at no additional expense to the Government.

2. Prior to beginning work in each area, identify all utility work that will occur within the dripline of trees. For construction work that is within the dripline of the trees but a minimum of 15 feet away from the trunk, install tree protection fencing at the edge of the excavation, between the excavation and identified tree trunk, establishing a buffer zone.

No storage of material or equipment shall occur within this buffer zone. Fences shall be

FOVA - 174966 01 11 00 - 3

constructed of orange safety fencing at least four feet high. Fence installation may not include ground disturbance. The contractor shall limit construction activity within the driplines of tree to minimally required activities; any staging or prep work must be completed outside of tree driplines. Fences shall remain in place until contract completion or as directed by the Contracting Officer. See attached detail.

3. Prior to beginning work in each area, identify any trees where trenching must occur within a 15 foot radius of the trunk, measuring from trunk to the edge of the excavation.

Present the Contracting Officer with the list of each tree within 15 feet, including species and approximate size. At the determination of the Contracting Officer, reroute the excavation to outside of a 15 foot radius from the tree trunk and execute excavation per paragraph 1.5 D 2. If rerouting cannot be reasonably accomplished, as determined by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall proceed with boring through the area that is within a 15 foot radius from the tree trunk. If boring and rerouting are not possible, the Contractor may excavate within a 15 foot radius of the tree’s trunk with express approval of the Contracting Officer. This is the least preferred alternative. If this alternative is executed, excavations within a 15 foot radius will require the installation of the tree protection fencing per paragraph 1.5 D 2.

4. Root protection within excavations. Protect the tree and excavate to the depth required.

Do not shatter or fracture any roots. When roots are encountered, consult with Contracting Officer to determine if they will interfere with construction. Remove agreed-upon roots by cutting cleanly with a chain saw, or hand saw, without fracturing the root. Perform under the supervision of an arborist that is certified by the City of Vancouver.

E. Driveways and Entrances: Keep driveways and entrances serving premises clear and available to Government, Government's employees, and emergency vehicles at all times. Vehicle and pedestrian access to Building P754 and adjacent parking lot shall be available at all times. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials.

1. Schedule deliveries to minimize use of driveways and entrances.

2. Schedule deliveries to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

F. Construction Camp: Establishment of a camp within the park will not be permitted.

G. Hauling Restrictions: Comply with all legal load restrictions in the hauling of materials. Load restrictions on park roads are identical to the state load restrictions with such additional regulations as may be imposed by the Park Superintendent. Information regarding rules and regulations for vehicular traffic on park roads may be obtained from the Office of the Park Superintendent. A special permit will not relieve Contractor of liability for damage which may result from moving of equipment.

1.6 PUBLIC USE OF SITE
