1.27. Site Inspection

The Contractor reserves the right to enter the premises during the term of the Subcontract for quality assurance work inspections and/or maintenance of existing navigational and communication facilities.

After NTP and prior to initiating Work, Subcontractor and RE must conduct joint inspections of the jobsite to determine the existing conditions and note any existing damage or defects. Existing damage or defects will be used as the basis for determination of damages caused by the Subcontractor's operations.

Subcontractor will be responsible for the cost of any repair caused by Subcontractor’s operations or the operations of its lower tier Subcontractors. All damage to the existing

Site including, but not limited to, existing utilities and cables, facilities, equipment, buildings, and vegetation must be repaired. All such repairs must match the original finish and must be made utilizing materials, equal to or greater than the original materials, as approved by RE. All repairs must be made with no additional cost to

Contractor.

Contractor retains the right to inspect all Work on the project, but has no obligation to do

so. Contractor’s inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of Contractor and do not:

A. Relieve the Subcontractor or its lower tier Subcontractors of the responsibility to provide adequate quality control measures.

B. Relieve the Subcontractor or its lower tier contractors of the responsibility for damage to or loss of material before acceptance.

C. Constitute or imply acceptance.

The presence or absence of the RE does not relieve the Subcontractor or its lower tier

Subcontractors from any Subcontract requirement, nor is the RE authorized to change any requirement of the Subcontract.

1.28. Special Scheduling Requirements

Protect existing facilities and equipment from physical or electrical damage as a result of accidental or incidental negligence, such as, but not limited to, disruption of standby power to the facility or equipment.

All preparatory work must be completed by the Subcontractor prior to shutdown/cutover to minimize downtime. The requested time and date of shutdown and cutover must be approved by the RE a minimum of five working days in advance of the requested shutdown or cutover. FAA personnel will perform the actual shutdown/cutover of systems that affect operations.

In the event any services are interrupted, restore services with a full crew available to restore such services on a 24-hour basis, including Work during holidays and weekends, at no additional cost to Contractor or delay in the Schedule.

PARSONS – FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 19

Request any utility interruptions in writing five (5) days before the scheduled interruption, unless otherwise specified. RE review is required before interruption. In this notification, the Subcontractor must certify that all equipment, materials, and personnel necessary to conduct such testing will be available on the scheduled date and that the systems have been pre-checked by personnel and are ready for performance and acceptance testing.

Coordinate all required outages with Contractor through the RE. The Subcontractor must determine quantity and duration of outages required to complete the Work. The

Subcontractor may have to schedule work and outages at a time when air traffic is at a minimum. This could mean late night or early morning hours.

Do not interrupt services outside of permitted, scheduled outage periods.

1.29. Project Specific Work Plans

Required Work Plans. The Subcontractor will be required to submit written work plans in accordance with the submittal requirements set out in Section 4. SUBMITTAL

PROCEDURES, for critical items of work set out in this Section, in the Technical

Specifications, or elsewhere in the Subcontract Documents. Work associated with the required work plans must not commence until approval has been provided.

1.30. Underground Utility Damage Prevention

The Subcontractor is responsible for complying with all OSHA regulations related to underground utility damage prevention. The Subcontractor must take all reasonable steps necessary to make certain that all active, abandoned, or unknown utilities are identified.

Such steps are to include the utilization of an individual or firm acceptable to the

Contractor and knowledgeable in Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) techniques, and competent to perform utility designation in conformance with the National Utility

Locating Contractors Association (NULCA) Standard 101 for Professions Competence

Standards for Locating Technicians or other written standard acceptable to the

Contractor.

1.30.1 Preparation

A. All existing underground utilities depicted on the drawings, (which include but are not limited to: power, control, and communications cables; telephone, water and sewer lines; and other utilities) are shown in their approximate locations only. Other utility lines may exist but not be depicted. It is the Subcontractor’s responsibility to ensure that locations of all underground airport, FAA, public, and/or private utilities are established prior to work in the area.

B. The Subcontractor must, at its expense, satisfactorily repair and/or pay the cost of repair for all damages to underground utilities that result from the Subcontractor’s or its lower tier Subcontractors’ operations during the period of the Subcontract. The

Subcontractor is responsible for completing any required repair work to any underground utility that is damaged by its workers, equipment, work, or

Subcontractors immediately, and with equal material approved by the RE.

PARSONS – FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 20

C. If the Subcontractor damages a cable that has been previously located, then the

Subcontractor must repair the cable and, at its expense, install either a pull box or manhole depending on the type and/or size of the cable. The RE will determine whether a pull box or manhole is required. All costs related to the repair of the damaged cable will be the responsibility of the Subcontractor.

D. Do not interrupt existing utilities serving facilities occupied by the FAA or others except when permitted in writing by the RE and then only after acceptable temporary utility services have been provided. Provide a minimum 48-hours’ notice to the RE.

Do not proceed with the interruption of any utility without approval from the RE.

E. Protect structures, utilities, sidewalks, pavements, and other facilities from damage caused by settlement, lateral movement, undermining, washout, and other hazards created by earthwork operations.

F. Protect subgrade and foundation soils against freezing temperatures or frost. Provide protective insulating materials as necessary. Protect subgrade and foundation soils from softening and damage by rain or water accumulation.

G. Provide erosion control measures to prevent erosion or displacement of soils and discharge of soil-bearing water runoff or airborne dust to adjacent properties and walkways.

1.30.2 Pre-excavation Requirements for Foundation

The Subcontractor must ensure that all FAA technicians, other utility owners/operators, and any One-Call System performing utility designation/location services designate/mark existing utilities within the construction limits as well as the entire path of excavation.

The Subcontractor will be solely responsible for notifying relevant utility owners/operators and One-Call System sufficiently in advance to ensure that delays to construction does not occur.

After completion of the utility designation described above, the Subcontractor must hire a professional Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) or utility designation/locating company. This company is to sweep the entire excavation area, including five feet to either side of known utilities, to confirm the locations of the marked utilities and identify and mark any additional unidentified utilities that may be within the limits of excavation.

The Subcontractor, in accordance with Section 2, Project Coordination, must notify the

RE of the preferred date and time for a pre-work meeting for all excavation work. The

RE will coordinate the pre-work meeting with the local SSC Authority, FAA, Subcontractor, and others as applicable to walk the excavation area and review applicable documentation. The Subcontractor must arrange to have its excavator and SUE (or designation firm) at the pre-work meeting. The Subcontractor must provide a written excavation work plan that includes a contingency plan to restore to service all utilities including cables that may be placed out of service or damaged during performance of the work. The work plan at a minimum must include:

A. A list of qualified Subcontractors such as electrician, and others as applicable for emergency repair purposes.

B. Name of the SUE or utility designation firm including training and experience of the technician who will be performing the utility designation as well as equipment that will be used for sweeping the area to be excavated.

PARSONS – FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 21

C. Name of the excavator including training, certifications, and experience of the equipment operator who will be doing the work.

Subcontractor must expose all utilities that it will be crossing through non-destructive mechanical excavation methods such as vacuum excavation or similar mechanical method(s) approved by the RE (“potholing”) or by hand digging. When a cable is located, the Subcontractor must hand-excavate a trench five (5) feet each side of the exposed cable to verify that another cable is not adjacent to the exposed cable. All critical or high priority facilities must be exposed by potholing or hand digging every 100 feet (or less if on a curve) if the Subcontractor is working on or parallel to a critical or high priority utility. All exposed utilities must be properly supported and protected during construction.

Subcontractor must continuously maintain utilities, facilities and/or systems that are or may be affected by work associated with the project. The Subcontractor must provide the

RE with written reports on any cable cuts.

If the Subcontractor does not find an underground utility that was previously marked, the excavation will be stopped, the RE will be notified, and the Subcontractor must contact the appropriate owner/operator of the utility or make contact with the appropriate owner/operator, using the One-Call System when warranted.

Every attempt must be made to preserve the location markings during excavation.

Location markings that are no longer visible must be refreshed by calling the one-call system and/or the utility owners/operators for remarking.

All existing utilities that have been exposed during exploratory potholing or excavation must be supported to prevent stretching, kinking, or damage to the existing utility.

1.30.3 Excavation

Preserve, protect and maintain existing operable drains, sewers, and electrical ducts during grading, excavating and backfilling operations. Keep excavations dry. Locations indicated for existing utility facilities are approximate. Pipes or other manmade obstructions, in addition to those indicated, may be encountered. Movement of construction machinery and equipment over pipes and utilities during construction will be at the Subcontractor’s risk. Perform all work adjacent to non-Government utilities as indicated in accordance with procedures outlined by utility owner. Excavation made with power driven equipment is not permitted within five feet of any known existing utility.

Start hand excavation on each side of the indicated obstruction and continue until the obstruction is uncovered. Support uncovered lines until approval for backfill is granted by the RE. No excavated material must be disposed of in such a manner as to obstruct the flow of any stream, endanger a partly finished structure, impair the efficiency or appearance of any structure, or be detrimental to the completed work in any way.

An observer, acceptable to the RE, will be present to assist the equipment operator when operating equipment around known underground facilities and utilities. Adhere to the following during excavation:

A. All mechanized excavation must start with 6 to 10 inches of excavation on the surface. The equipment operator must immediately cease operation and notify the RE

PARSONS – FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 22

if utility warning tapes, sand, or bedding material is uncovered at any time during excavation.

B. All excavations within 5 feet of any facility, known utility ground markings, riser guard, pole (with riser), meter, or other structure must be performed by hand digging or other means such as vacuum excavating.

C. If the Subcontractor discovers damage, causes damage, or even contacts an existing underground utility, the owner/operator of that utility, and RE must be notified immediately. The Subcontractor is responsible for making necessary repair and/or replacement in accordance with this section and the terms and conditions of the

Subcontract.

D. If there is a critical or high priority utility line in the dig area, make arrangements for the utility owner/operator to be on the job site during the excavation. If the utility owner/operator refuses to be present, document this response by appending it to the request form.

E. Only those Subcontractor employees qualified by training, licensed or experienced

(as appropriate) is permitted to operate machinery, tools or equipment.

F. The Subcontractor and RE must coordinate on a daily basis with the excavator and the excavating work crew regarding the work to be performed that day with an emphasis on the excavation work plan and anticipated utility crossings.
