1.10 PARTNERING

a. The Government intends to encourage the foundation of a cohesive partnership with the Contractor and its subcontractors. This partnership will be structured to draw on the strengths of each organization to identify and achieve reciprocal goals. Among the objectives are effective and efficient Contract performance and are intended to achieve completion within budget, on schedule, and in accordance with the plans and specifications; and to develop a single cooperative management team focused on the success of the project to mutual benefit of all stakeholders. This partnership will be bilateral in makeup, and participation will be totally voluntary. Any cost associated with effectuating this partnership will be agreed to by both parties, and will be shared equally with no change to the Contract price. An integral aspect of partnering is the resolution of disputes in a timely, professional, and non-adversarial manner through the use of issue clarification and problem solving. Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) methodologies will be encouraged in place of the more formal dispute resolution procedures. ADR will assist in promoting and maintaining an amicable working relationship to preserve the partnership. ADR is a voluntary, non-binding procedure available for use by the parties to this Contract to resolve any dispute that may arise during performance.

b. Should the Contractor elect to participate in partnering, key on-site and home office management personnel will be required to attend a full day partnering session as directed by the Government with an outside facilitator. The cost of this facilitated session is anticipated to be around $5,000 and will be shared equally between the Contractor and the Government.

1.11 EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE

a. This special contract requirement does not apply to terminations.

See FAR Part 49.

b. Allowable cost for construction and marine plant and equipment in

SECTION 01 10 00.00 25 Page 7 sound workable condition owned or controlled and furnished by a contractor or subcontractor at any tier shall be based on actual cost data for each piece of equipment or groups of similar serial and series for which the Government can determine both ownership and operating costs from the contractor's accounting records. When both ownership and operating costs cannot be determined for any piece of equipment or groups of similar serial or series equipment from the contractor's accounting records, costs for that equipment shall be based upon the applicable provisions of EP 1110-1-8 , Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule, Region VIII.

Working conditions shall be considered to be average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified otherwise by the contracting officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time of negotiations shall apply. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the work was performed shall apply.

c. Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of FAR 31.105(d)(ii) and FAR 31.205-36, Rental Costs. Rates for equipment rented from an organization under common control, lease-purchase arrangements, and sale-leaseback arrangements, will be determined using the schedule, except that actual rates will be used for equipment leased from an organization under common control that has an established practice of leasing the same or similar equipment to unaffiliated lessees.

d. When actual equipment costs are proposed and the total amount of the pricing action exceeds the SAT, the contracting officer shall request the contractor to submit either certified cost or pricing data, or partial/limited data, as appropriate. The data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411, Contract Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet.

1.12 BASIS FOR SETTLEMENT OF PROPOSALS

a. Actual costs will be used to determine equipment costs for a settlement proposal submitted on the total cost basis.

b. In evaluating a termination settlement proposal using the total cost basis, the following principles will be applied to determine allowable equipment costs:

(1) Actual costs for each piece of equipment, or groups of similar serial or series equipment, need not be available in the contractor's accounting records to determine total actual equipment costs.

(2) If equipment costs have been allocated to a contract using predetermined rates, those charges will be adjusted to actual costs.

(3) Recorded job costs adjusted for unallowable expenses will be used to determine equipment operating expenses.

(4) Ownership costs (depreciation) will be determined using the contractor's depreciation schedule (subject to the provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 31.205-11).

SECTION 01 10 00.00 25 Page 8

(5) License, taxes, storage and insurance costs are normally recovered as an indirect expense and unless the contractor charges these costs directly to contracts, they will be recovered through the indirect expense rate.

SECTION 01 11 00.00 25 Page 4

3.2 Utility Locations

a. All underground utilities in the work area must be positively identified by a third party, independent, private utility locating company in addition to any station locating service and coordinated with the station utility department.

b. Physically verify underground utility locations, including utility depth, by hand digging using wood or fiberglass handled tools when any adjacent construction work is expected to come within three feet of the underground system.

c.Utilities located within and under concrete slabs or pier structures, bridges, parking areas, and the like, are extremely difficult to identify. Whenever Contract work involves chipping, saw cutting, or core drilling through concrete, bituminous asphalt or other impervious surfaces, the existing utility location must be coordinated with station utility departments in addition to location and depth verification by a third party, independent, private locating company. The third party, independent, private locating company must locate utility depth by use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), X-ray, bore scope, or ultrasound prior to the start of demolition and construction. Use outages to isolate utility systems in circumstances where utilities are unable to be positively identified. The use of historical drawings does not alleviate the Contractor from meeting this requirement.

3.3 Water Distribution Assembly

a. Provide buried utility lines with utility identification tape. Bury tape 12 inches below finished grade; under pavements and slabs, bury tape 6 inches below top of subgrade.

b. Comply with NSF/ANSI 14 or NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 for materials for potable water systems; comply with lead content requirements for "lead-free" plumbing as defined by the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act effective January 2014.

c. Install a valve box for each ball valve on buried piping. Install precast concrete boxes installed in locations subjected to vehicular traffic to withstand AASHTO load designation as outlined in AASHTO HB-17. Install adjustable valve boxes of a size compatible for the valve on which it is used. Cast the word "WATER" on the lid.

d. Provide a bronze AWWA C511 reduced pressure principle type backflow preventer that is accompanied by a backflow certficate of full approval from FCCCHR List. Select materials for piping, strainers, and valves used in assembly installation that are galvanically compatible.

Materials joined, connected, or otherwise in contact are to have no greater than 0.25 V difference on the Anodic Index, unless separated by a dielectric type union or fitting.

e. Install pipe, fittings, joints, and couplings in accordance with the applicable referenced standard, the manufacturer's instructions and as specififed herein.

3.4 Backfill

a. Reuse of excavated soil as backfill is permitted so long as it is

SECTION 01 11 00.00 25 Page 5 clean and free of debris.

b. Soils brought in from off site for use as backfill must be tested for petroleum hydrocarbons, BTEX, PCSBs, and HW characteristics.

Backfill must not contain concentrations of these analytes above the appropriate State and/or EPA critera, and shall pass the tests for HW characteristics.

c. Determine in-place density of existing subgrade; if required density exists, no compaction of existing subgrade will be required.

3.5 Exterior Improvements

a. Provide State-certified seed of the latest season's crop delivered in original sealed packages, bering producer's guarenteed analysis for percentages of mixtures, purity, germination, weedseed content, and intert material.

b. Immediately before seeding, restore soil to proper frade. Do not seed when ground is muddy, frozen, snow covered or in an unsatisfactory condition for seeding. If special conditions exist that may warrant a variance in the above seeding conditions, submit a written request to the Contracting Officer.

c. Restore to original condition in areas which have been damaged during installation.

d. Complete asphalt repair in accordance with ODOT Pavement Design Guide 2019.

3.6 Water Quality Testing

3.6.1 Test of Backflow Prevention Assemblies

a. Test the backflow prevention assembly using gauges specifically designed for the testing of backflow prevention assemblies.

b. Tests will be conducted annually for accuracy in accordance with the requirements of State or local regulatory agencies. If there is no State or local regulatory agency requirements, gauges shall be tested annually for accuracy in accordnace with the requirements of University of Southern California's Foundation of Cross Connection Control and Hydraulic Research or the American Water Works Association Manual of Cross Connection (Manual M-14).

c. If the unt fails to meet specified requirements, the unit shall be repaired and retested.

3.6.2 System Flushing

a. Before operational tests or disinfection, potable water piping system shall be flushed with [hot ]potable water. Sufficient water shall be used to produce a water velocity that is capable of entraining and removing debris in all portions of the piping system.

This requires simultaneous operation of all fixtures on a common branch or main in order to produce a flushing velocity of approximately 4 fps through all portions of the piping system. In the event that this is impossible due to size of system, the Contracting Officer (or

SECTION 01 11 00.00 25 Page 6 the designated representative) shall specify the number of fixtures to be operated during flushing. Contractor shall provide adequate personnel to monitor the flushing operation and to ensure that drain lines are unobstructed in order to prevent flooding of the facility.

Contractor shall be responsible for any flood damage resulting from flushing of the system. Flushing shall be continued until entrained dirt and other foreign materials have been removed and until discharge water shows no discoloration. All faucets and drinking water fountains, to include any device considered as an end point device by NSF/ANSI 61 , Section 9, shall be flushed a minimum of 0.25 gallons per 24 hour period, ten times over a 14 day period.

b. System will be drained at low points. After flushing and cleaning, systems shall be prepared for testing by immediately filling water piping with clean, fresh potable water. Any stoppage, discoloration, or other damage to the finish, furnishings, or parts of the building due to the Contractor's failure to properly clean the piping system shall be repaired by the Contractor. When the system flushing is complete, the hot-water system shall be adjusted for uniform circulation. Flushing devices and automatic control systems shall be adjusted for proper operation according to manufacturer's instructions. Flow rates on fixtures must not exceed those stated in PART 2 of this Section. Unless more stringent local requirements exist, lead levels shall not exceed limits established by 40 CFR 141.80 (c)(1). The water supply to the building shall be tested separately to ensure that any lead contamination found during potable water system testing is due to work being performed inside the building.

3.6.3 Disinfection

a. After all system components are provided and operational tests are complete, the entire domestic hot- and cold-water distribution system shall be disinfected. Before introducing disinfecting chlorination material, entire system shall be flushed with potable water until any entrained dirt and other foreign materials have been removed.

b.Water chlorination procedure shall be in accordance with AWWA C651 and AWWA C652 as modified and supplemented by this specification. The chlorinating material shall be hypochlorites or liquid chlorine. The chlorinating material shall be fed into the water piping system at a constant rate at a concentration of at least 50 parts per million (ppm). Feed a properly adjusted hypochlorite solution injected into the system with a hypochlorinator, or inject liquid chlorine into the system through a solution-feed chlorinator and booster pump until the entire system is completely filled .

c. After the second 24 hour period, verify that no less than 25 ppm chlorine residual remains in the treated system. The 24 hour chlorination procedure must be repeated until no less than 25 ppm chlorine residual remains in the treated system.

d. Disinfection shall be repeated until bacterial tests indicate the absence of coliform organisms (zero mean coliform density per 100 milliliters) in the samples for at least 2 full days. The system will not be accepted until satisfactory bacteriological results have been obtained.
