The Contractor shall only remove trees when specifically authorized to do so, and shall avoid damaging vegetation that shall remain in place. If any

610-18-101 Demolition Buildings 25, 42, and 122 12-01-18

01 00 00 -10 limbs or branches of trees are broken during contract performance, or by the careless operation of equipment, or by workers, the Contractor shall trim those limbs or branches with a clean cut and paint the cut with a tree-pruning compound as directed by the Contracting Officer.

Contractor fails or refuses to repair the damage promptly, the

Contracting Officer may have the necessary work performed and charge the cost to the Contractor.

(FAR 52.236-9)

C. Refer to Section 01 57 19, TEMPORARY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS, for additional requirements on protecting vegetation, soils and the environment. Refer to Articles, "Alterations", "Restoration", and

Contractor is considered an "operator" under the permit and has extensive responsibility for compliance with permit requirements. VA will make the permit application available at the (appropriate medical center) office. The apparent low bidder, contractor and affected subcontractors shall furnish all information and certifications that are required to comply with the permit process and permit requirements.

Many of the permit requirements will be satisfied by completing construction as shown and specified. Some requirements involve the

Contractor's method of operations and operations planning and the

Contractor is responsible for employing best management practices. The

610-18-101 Demolition Buildings 25, 42, and 122 12-01-18

01 00 00 -11 affected activities often include, but are not limited to the following:
