G. Phasing: To ensure such executions, furnish the RE/COR with a schedule of approximate dates on which the Contractor intends to accomplish work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof. In addition, notify the RE/COR two weeks in advance of the proposed date of starting work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof.

Arrange such dates to ensure accomplishment of this work in phases as is mutually agreeable to the Cemetery Director, RE/COR and Contractor. Before construction operations begin, the Contractor shall provide a chain link construction fence, six feet (6’) minimum height, around the temporary facilities area and the construction area indicated on the drawings. Where indicated on the plans, the construction fence shall be provided with materials to produce a visual barrier to the public from the adjoining properties into the

The Contractor trimming shall be from where the Cemetery mowing ended to the fence and shall be at the same height as the grass was mowed. Contractor shall also water and mow any other areas outside of the temporary fence between the fence and closest hardscape surface to keep the areas neat and keep weeds down. Contractor shall maintain the areas inside of the fences, so they do not become unsightly. Any areas immediately outside of the temporary fencing that were previously mowed by Cemetery staff using mowers, and now can't be mowed by the same mowers because of limited space, are to be maintained by the contractor in the same manner as was done by the Cemetery staff until the entire area is restored after the work is complete.

J. Utilities Services:

01 00 01 - 8

1. Provide an underground utility locating service to locate any existing underground lines, pipes or other underground facilities within the work area that are to remain in service.

RE/COR, the longer interval shall govern.

5. The Contractor will be advised (in writing) of approval of request, or of which other date and/or time such interruption will cause least inconvenience to operations of the

Cemetery. Interruption time approved by the Cemetery may occur at other than

Contractor's normal working hours at no additional cost to the Government.

6. Major interruptions of any system must be requested, in writing, at least 15 calendar days prior to the desired time and shall be performed as directed by the RE/COR, which may require the work to be performed off hours which shall be done at no additional cost to the Government.

K. Coordination of Construction with Cemetery Director: The burial activities at a National

Cemetery shall take precedence over construction activities. Cooperation and coordination with the Cemetery Director, through the RE/COR, in arranging construction schedule to cause the least possible interference with Cemetery activities in actual burial areas, is required. Construction noise during the interment services shall not disturb the service.

Coordination of work may require that equipment that is heard from the service location be shut-off, or moved out of the area prior to the service, as acceptable to the Cemetery Director through the RE/COR. Trucks and workmen shall not pass through the service area during this period:

1. Discontinue work sufficiently in advance of Easter Sunday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day and/or Federal holidays, and clean up all areas of operation adjacent to functioning areas of the Cemetery, including existing burial sections and any other areas identified by the RE/COR before these dates.

Store such items where directed by RE/COR.

2. Items not reserved shall become property of the Contractor and be removed by

Contractor from the National Cemetery.

3. PCB Transformers and/or Capacitors: The Contractor shall be responsible for disposal of any Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) transformers and/or capacitors.

STRUCTURES, EQUIPMENT, UTILITIES, AND IMPROVEMENTS

A. Preserve and protect all structures, equipment, cultural resources indicated, federally protected wildlife, and vegetation (such as trees, shrubs, and grass) on or adjacent to the work sites, which are not to be removed and which do not unreasonably interfere with the work required under this contract.
