In addition, Contractor shall notify the COR two weeks in advance of the proposed date of starting work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof. The Contractor should schedule three to four areas of potential work each day. The facility will be in full operation during construction and certain areas may not be able to shut down as initially scheduled. Arrange such phasing dates to insure accomplishment of this work in successive phases mutually agreeable to

COR and Contractor, as follows:

All Phases: See phasing plans. Phasing plans are intended as a larger order of priority for the VA. The scope of work within each phase will need to be coordinated by the Contractor through the COR. The Contractor is responsible for pre-planning work in increments that are acceptable to the COR.
