CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION

Work at Lock 1 can be completed concurrently with other sites but should be prioritized. The work areas associated with Lock 1, specifically work South of Lock 1 and Downstream of Lock 1 shall be prioritized in project schedules to accomplish work efficiently from project onset. Work is planned to be performed by others in these areas in the near future. NPS requires contractors to incorporate this prioritization to minimize the potential for conflicts with the future work by others.

Coordination: Coordinate construction operations included in different Sections of Specifications to ensure efficient and orderly installation of each part of the Work. Coordinate construction operations, included in different Sections, which depend on each other for proper installation, connection, and operation.

Schedule construction operations in sequence required to obtain best results where installation of one part of the Work depends on installation of other components, before or after its own installation.

Coordinate installation of different components with other Contractors to ensure maximum accessibility for required maintenance, service, and repair.

Make provisions to accommodate items scheduled for later installation.

Where availability of space is limited, coordinate installation of different components to ensure maximum performance and accessibility for required maintenance, service, and repair of components, including mechanical and electrical.

Properly plan construction operations to include permit requirements. Allow enough time to execute permit provisions to maintain work schedule, site visits, inspections, and reporting deadlines.

Prepare memoranda for distribution to each party involved, outlining special procedures required for coordination. Include such items as required notices, reports, and list of attendees at meetings.

Administrative Procedures: Coordinate scheduling and timing of required administrative procedures with other construction activities and activities of other contractors to avoid conflicts and to ensure orderly progress of the Work. Such administrative activities include, but are not limited to:
