SECTION 01010 – SUMMARY OF WORK

NOTE: The Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Design Compatibility Guideline requirements and those defined in the following section may directly affect the Contractor’s overhead for completing the scope of work.

Failure on the part of the Contractor to adequately review this section and identify/clarify any requirements herein will not constitute justification of Contractor claims for additional design and/or construction costs.

1. SUMMARY OF WORK

1.1 Work Included in this Contract: The following descriptions are for general reference only and shall not be construed as a complete list of all operations to be performed.

1.1.1. This request for proposal (RFP) requires the field investigation, design, plans, specifications, installation, and testing of the Lightning Protection System with Fall Protection. The work to be performed shall include all electrical survey, material, labor, infrastructure and incidentals necessary to have and complete a functional system to serve the building 5415 at 5415 Mike Flores Street on Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ.

1.1.2. The Period of Performance for the entire project is expected not to exceed 298 calendar days. All days listed will be calendar days and include all Contractor actions such as Project Investigation, Design

Review Submittals, Government/Designer review periods, Design Review meetings, Final Contract

Documents Submittal, etc.

1.1.3. Duty Hours are 0700-1600 or as arranged by written request to the Project Manager and building

5415 facility User. The area is not gated and is not restricted access only, the contractor does not need to be escorted daily by the CES Construction Manager or the building 5415 Facility Manager. The building user operates the building 24 hours a day 5 days a week (no work on week ends).

1.1.4. The Contractor shall refer to Section 01011, Design Requirements, for specific guidance pertaining to the design and construction of the required project elements.

1.2 Salvage and Disposal: All salvageable and non-salvageable material obtained by removal of existing material shall be considered as having been included as a factor in the Contractor's bid price.

a. Salvageable material obtained from existing construction may be reused only if so, stated elsewhere in the Contract Documents, and then only when the material is approved for reuse by the Contracting Officer.

b. Salvageable material shall remain the property of the Government only when specifically called out in the Contract Documents.

c. Salvageable material not reused or otherwise designated to remain the property of the Government shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be removed and disposed of off base in accordance with the environmental controls specified in this Section.

d. Non-salvageable material: Remove all non-salvageable material from the project site and dispose of it off base, in accordance with the environmental controls specified in this Section.

1.3 Base Outages and Digging Permits (AF Form 103, BCE Work Clearance Request):

a. Utility Outages: Accomplish all work required in connection with utility outages on weekends or off-duty hours, or as directed by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall be responsible for all work associated with the utility outages. Notify the Contracting Officer in writing 21 days prior to the desired date for the utility outage.

b. Road Closures: If road closures are needed during the construction of any portion of the project, a traffic control plan shall be generated by the Contractor and submitted for approval by the Contracting

Officer. Notify the Contracting Officer in writing 21 days prior to the desired date for closure.

01010-2

Blue Stake and independently marking and potholing for security camera conduit/wiring around the base;

and vacuum and oxygen medical lines around the 355 Medical Group. Although the 355 CES Drawing

Vault has drawings for security camera conduit/wiring and medical lines, it is not responsible for the bluestaking or actual location of these utilities. The Contractor must mark all areas that he wishes to have the Government bluestake with white paint PRIOR to the submission of the AF Form 103; and shall include a site drawing of the area to be bluestaked with the submission. Once a construction site has been marked for utility locations by the Government, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to maintain the markings with stakes or whiskers.

1.4 Submittal Procedures:

a. Schedule of Material Submittals (AF Form 66): An AF Form 66, listing the items of equipment and materials for which submittals are required by the specifications, shall be generated during the design by the Contractor for the Government’s approval. A draft of the base standard AF Form 66 will be provided by the Government for the Contractor’s use. The approved submittal register will become the scheduling document for material submittals and will be used to manage submittals by all parties throughout the life of the contract. During construction, it may be discovered that this list was not all inclusive and that additional submittals may be required from and shall be submitted by the Contractor, as directed by the Contracting Officer. See Section 01011, Design Requirements, paragraph 2.10, Schedule of Material Submittals, for more information pertaining to the AF Form 66.

b. TRANSMITTAL FORM (AF FORM 3000):

1. The AF Form 3000 shall be used to transmit submittal items for Government review and approval in accordance with the instructions on the reverse side of the form. These forms will be furnished to the Contractor. This form shall be properly completed by filling out the heading blanks and identifying each item submitted. Special care shall be exercised to ensure proper listing of the specification paragraph and/or sheet number of the contract drawings pertinent to the information submitted for each item(s).

2. The Contractor shall provide the submittal items in the number of copies as specified on the AF Form 66 and one original of the completed AF Form 3000 to the Contracting Officer no later than the required submission date specified on the AF Form 66 or 10 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, whichever is later.

3. Identify each submittal by project, Contractor, drawing or detail number, and specification section number, as appropriate. Mark submittals to show the specific item(s) that will be furnished. Include intended use of the submittal and any other pertinent information necessary for a complete evaluation. If the Contractor provides a submittal which shows variations from the contract documents, the Contractor shall completely describe such variations in writing clearly and separately from any other portion of the submittal. Highlighting or marking in any manner the proposed variations is not sufficient to comply with this requirement. This requirement applies irrespective of the provisions of any specification which follow this section, and which may be particular to specific item(s).

c. Submit to the Contracting Officer complete information applicable to the item(s) of equipment and materials called for by the Contract Documents, for approval, prior to installing the relevant item(s) of equipment and material. If unapproved item(s) of equipment or material are installed, the Contracting Officer, at his sole discretion and option, may reject the installed equipment and material. If rejected, the Contracting Officer may then pursue, again in his sole discretion and option, remedies including but not limited to the removal and reinstallation of approved item(s) of equipment or material at the Contractor’s expense, extended warranties, and other remedies as may be deemed appropriate and applicable to that portion of the construction.

d. Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently. Certifications to be submitted with the pertinent drawings shall be so scheduled.
