G. Phasing

1. Early Turn Over (ETO) Work and Work Sequencing Requirements: There are specific work activities and elements within this Contract that are of a time sensitive nature to the operation of the Cemetery. These requirements are as follows:

a. Early Turnover (ETO) Work - these activities will need to be completed and turned over to the Owner earlier than the final project completion date. This work is indicated in the

Contract documents as Early Turnover (ETO) work. There is a separate time period for completion of the ETO work, identified in the Contract Documents as a specified number of days following the "Notice to Proceed" for the overall project. The general description of the project work to be completed as ETO work is described as follows with more details being included in the relevant specifications and on the drawings:

i. ETO 1: To be completed within 120 days of Notice to Proceed. New Burial Sections

33 and 34 (360 and 600 burial sites respectively) each containing in ground cremains. This work is to construct and make ready for use by the Cemetery operations the in ground cremain fields, and adjacent sidewalk with all appurtenances.

2. Work Sequencing Requirements - All of the work for this project must be completed on or before the Contract Completion Date identified in the documents. The ETO work is required to be completed well before the overall Contract completion date, on or before the ETO completion date (based upon the specified number of days following the "Notice to Proceed").

There are some timing and coordination requirements for completion of the project work that is not identified as part of the ETO work. These timing and coordination requirements are also referred to as "critical work sequence" activities. They have been developed and described to accommodate concerns raised by Cemetery Operations. The critical work sequence activities are identified in the Contract Drawings. The work sequencing identified in the Contract Documents is the best information available at the time of the issuance of the documents for bidding. The Contractor shall factor into his bid that there may be adjustments in the Work Sequencing after Contract Award due to unforeseen Cemetery Operational issues. The Contractor, before the start of any work, is required to submit a detailed work sequencing plan to the RE/COR for review, modification (until acceptable) and approval. The general requirements for the Contractor work sequencing plan are as indicated below:

01 00 01 - 8

a. To insure such executions, the Contractor shall furnish the RE/COR with a schedule of approximate dates on which the Contractor intends to accomplish work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof. In addition, the Contractor shall notify the

RE/COR two weeks in advance of the proposed date of starting work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof. Arrange such dates to insure accomplishment of this work in specified sequences mutually agreeable to the RE/COR who will liaise with the Cemetery Director.

H. All buildings will be occupied during performance of work.

1. Take all measures and provide all material necessary for protecting existing equipment and property in affected areas of construction against dust and debris, so that equipment and affected areas to be used in the Cemetery’s operations will not be hindered. Permit access to

Department of Veterans Affairs personnel through other construction areas which serve as routes of access to such affected areas and equipment. Coordinate alteration work in areas occupied by Department of Veterans Affairs so that Cemetery operations will continue during the construction period.

2. Immediate areas of alterations not mentioned above will be temporarily vacated while alterations are performed.

I. Construction Fence: Before construction operations begin, the Contractor shall provide a chain link construction fence, seven feet minimum height, around the construction area indicated on the drawings. Provide gates as required for access with necessary hardware, including hasps and padlocks. Fasten fence fabric to terminal posts with tension bands and to line posts and top and bottom rails with tie wires spaced at maximum 15 inches. Bottom of fences shall extend to one inch above grade.

Department required to respond to an alarm from the Contractor's employee.

K. Utilities Services: Maintain existing utility services for the Cemetery at all times. Meet with the

RE/COR and appropriate Cemetery operations staff to walk the proposed work areas and discuss any known or potential underground systems that are indicated or not shown on the construction drawings, prior to starting the work.

1. Provide an underground utility locating service to locate any existing underground lines or other underground facilities within his work area that are to remain in service. Any new information, not clearly indicated on the bid documents shall be passed on to the Contractor's underground locating service staff. Any new information discovered by the underground

01 00 01 - 9 locating service staff shall be turned over to the RE/COR for dissemination to the Cemetery

Staff.

L. Provide temporary facilities, labor, materials, equipment, connections, and utilities to assure uninterrupted services. Where necessary to cut existing water, sewer or air pipes, or conduits, wires, cables, etc. of utility services or of fire protection systems and communications systems

(including telephone), they shall be cut and capped at suitable places where shown; or, in absence of such indication, where directed by the RE/COR.

1. No utility service such as water, gas, steam, sewers or electricity, or fire protection systems and communications systems may be interrupted without prior approval of the RE/COR.

a. Electrical work shall be accomplished with all affected circuits or equipment de-energized.

RE/COR. Such approval will be confirmed in writing as soon as practical.

6. Whenever it is required that a connection fee be paid to a public utility provider for new permanent service to the construction project, for such items as water, sewer, electricity, gas or steam, payment of such fee shall be the responsibility of the Government and not the

Contractor.

Cooperation and coordination with the Cemetery Director, through the RE/COR, in arranging construction schedule to cause the least possible interference with Cemetery activities in actual burial areas is required.

Construction noise during the interment services shall not disturb the service. Coordination of work may require that equipment that is heard from the service location be shut-off, or moved out of the area prior to the service, as acceptable to the Cemetery Director through the RE/COR.

Trucks and workmen shall not pass through the service area during this period:

1. Discontinue work sufficiently in advance of Easter Sunday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day and/or Federal holidays, and clean up all areas of operation adjacent to functioning areas of the Cemetery, including existing burial sections and any other areas identified by the RE/COR before these dates.
