1) Regular work hours are from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

2) Allow for a maximum of 30 calendar days in the construction schedule where construction activity is prohibited due to NASA operations and activities.

3) Schedule work to minimize outages and disruptions to the government. For utility outages and connections required during the execution of work that affect existing systems, schedule work outside of regular working hours, weekends, or holidays. No additional payment will be provided for utility outages and connections required to be performed outside of the regular work hours.

4) Submit requests for road blockage and utility outages and connections in writing to the

COR/PM for approval at least 15 calendar days in advance of the time required. In each request, state the roads or systems involved, area involved, approximate duration of outage, and the nature of the work involved.

5) Obtain dig permits prior to starting excavation. Contact local utility locating service at minimum 7 days prior to excavating. Scan the construction site with ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic, or sonic equipment and identify and mark all utilities on the ground or paved surface where utilities are discovered. Verify elevations of all obstructions discovered during scanning. If location or elevation of any obstructions cannot be accurately determined contractor shall not excavate or perform below grade work without getting further direction and approval from the COR/PM to do so.

6) The airfield and all other NASA facilities will remain in operation during the entire construction period. The Contractor must conduct their operations so as to cause the least possible interference with normal operations of the activity.
