2. The start date and completion date shall be as stated in the Notice to Proceed issued by the Contracting Officer.

1.3 BIDDER EXAMINATION OF SITE

A. Every effort has been made to indicate all work necessary to complete the project as identified. All bidders shall carefully examine the premises during the bid period and satisfy themselves as to the extent, nature, and location of the work, general and local conditions, particularly those bearing on transportation, disposal, handling and storage of materials, access routes, availability of labor, water, electric, uncertainties of the weather, type of equipment and facilities needed for the successful execution of the work.

B. Pre-Bid Conference and Site Visit. Before or during the bidding period, a scheduled pre-bid conference and site visit will be announced by the COTR. The purpose of the scheduled meeting is to provide an opportunity for all bidders to review the project site. Any comments, information or discussion during the site visit shall not modify the contract documents.

C. This project requires special arrangements for access to a non-public area. Access to the site may be restricted at times other than during the scheduled visit.

1.4 ACCESS TO SITE

General: Contractor shall have limited use of project site for construction operations as indicated on Drawings by the Contract limits and as indicated by requirements of this Section.

A. Use of Site: Limit use of Project site to areas within the Contract limits indicated. Do not disturb portions of Project site beyond areas in which the Work is indicated.

1. Limits: Confine construction operations as indicated on the contract drawings.

2. Driveways, Walkways and Entrances: Keep driveway, parking areas, and entrances serving premises clear and available to the Owner, Owner's employees, and emergency vehicles at all times. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials.

a. Schedule deliveries to minimize use of driveways and entrances by construction operations.

b. Schedule deliveries to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

1.5 COORDINATION WITH OCCUPANTS

A. Owner Limited Occupancy of Completed Areas of Construction: Owner reserves the right to occupy and to place and install equipment in completed portions of the Work, prior to

Completion of the Work, provided such occupancy does not interfere with completion of the Work. Such placement of equipment and limited occupancy shall not constitute acceptance of the total Work.

1. Obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from authorities having jurisdiction before any partial Owner occupancy.

1.6 WORK RESTRICTIONS

A. Work Restrictions, General: Comply with restrictions on construction operations.

Phase 2 – Habitat & Animal Bldg

SUMMARY 01 1000 - 4

1. Comply with limitations on public use and with other requirements of authorities having jurisdiction.

B. Work Restrictions, Adjacent Panda Habitats

1. Anticipated Stop Work Events – Due to the proximity of active panda habitats and associated care facilities to the Arabian Leopards project area, the Contractor shall anticipate any Stop Work Notices issued by the Contracting Officer’s Technical

Representative (COTR) as required by animal care staff to protect animal welfare.

Stop Work Notices shall be considered a normal and expected part of project execution and shall not constitute grounds for additional cost or time.

2. Potential Panda Relocations – Depending on the nature, duration, and intensity of adjacent construction activities, pandas may require temporary relocation to alternate enclosure spaces. Such relocations require advance notice, schedule coordination, and enhanced communication between the Contractor and the animal care team. The Contractor shall plan work sequencing to support these relocations and shall incorporate required coordination into the project schedule.

3. Means and Methods Affecting Panda Behavior – The Contractor shall submit detailed means and methods for any construction activities that may influence panda behavior, including but not limited to noise, vibration, visual disturbance, equipment movement, or changes in access patterns.

4. Daily Coordination Requirements for Sensitive Work – In addition to standard two week look ahead schedules, the Contractor shall conduct a daily coordination meeting with designated animal care team members prior to the start of sensitive work. This requirement applies especially to but not limited to high decibel, high impact, or otherwise disruptive activities. The purpose of the meeting is to confirm planned work; review required mitigations and resolve any animal care concerns before work begins.

C. On-Site Work Hours: Limit work in the project area to normal business working hours of 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, unless otherwise indicated.

1. Weekend Hours: Contractor shall seek approval from COTR.

2. Early Morning Hours: Contractor shall seek approval from COTR

3. Hours for Utility Shutdowns: Shall occur during “OFF HOURS” as determined by the COTR.

D. Existing Utility Interruptions: Do not interrupt utilities serving facilities occupied by Owner or others unless permitted under the following conditions and only after providing temporary utility services according to requirements indicated:

2. Existing emergency generators are not available for contractor’s required power shutdowns.

E. Noise, Vibration, and Odors: Coordinate operations that may result in high levels of noise and vibration, odors, or other disruption to Owner occupancy with Owner.

1. Notify Owner not less than three days in advance of proposed disruptive operations.

F. Smoking is only allowed in COTR approved designated contractor locations. Contractor shall keep the area clean.

G. Traffic Control. The GC is to provide a flagger with SI issued badge for controlling access and managing all traffic entering NZP property SI\NZP staff will need access to occupied areas adjacent to but outside of the project construction zone, such as the Kudu yard See drawing C140 for additional requirements. Contractor will provide at least one traffic control

The traffic safety officer's prime duty but not sole duty shall be the responsibility for the Contractor's maintenance of traffic operations. Duties shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

(a) Understand the requirements of the contract provisions.

(b) Be responsible for assuring compliance of the Contractor's maintenance and protection of traffic relative to the requirements of the contract provisions.
