SECTION 01 10 00 – SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. This Section includes the following:

1. Work covered by the Contract Documents.

2. Work sequencing.

3. Work under other contracts.

4. Use of premises.

5. Work restrictions.

6. Means and Methods

7. Permits and Fees.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR): Individual authorized to receive and distribute information on behalf of the Contracting Officer. Also referred to as the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR).

B. Recycled Content: The recycled content value of a material assembly shall be determined by weight. The recycled fraction of the assembly is then multiplied by the cost of assembly to determine the recycled content value.

1. "Post-consumer" material is defined as waste material generated by households or by commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities in their role as end users of the product, which can no longer be used for its intended purpose.

2. "Pre-consumer" material is defined as material diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. Excluded is reutilization of materials such as rework, regrind, or scrap generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated it.

C. Recycled Content: The percentage by weight of constituents that have been recovered or otherwise diverted from the solid waste stream, either during the manufacturing process (pre-consumer), or after consumer use (post-consumer).

1.3 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Identification: Bon Secour Visitors Center and Administration Building, 12295 State Highway 180 Gulf Shores, AL36542-8203

B. USFWS's Lead Project Engineer: TBD

C. CO (Contracting Officer): TBD.

SUMMARY OF WORK 01 10 00 - 2

D. The Work includes, but may not be limited to, the following:

1. Sequencing of site work, building construction, building demolition, and close out as listed on the drawings. Contractor to prepare work schedule following this sequence and submit to USFWS for approval prior to any work on site. See specification 01 32 00 for more information on Construction Scheduling.

2. Coordination with USFWS any equipment and furnishings to be removed and stored prior field work

3. Site clearing and demolition of the existing site features. Some features shown on the site survey may be removed by FWS prior to Notice to Proceed. Contractor shall be responsible for clearing anything else on the site required for completion of the work.

4. Site Improvements including utility work, drive lane and parking areas.

5. Construction of a new Visitors Center and Administration Facility.

6. Installation of new and stored equipment and furnishings. Coordinate with USFWS all

GFM equipment and furniture.

7. Installation of new Intrusion Detection System (IDS) per the information in Appendix 1.

8. Demolition of the existing VC Admin building will be accomplished by USFWS after completion and occupancy of the new VC Admin building. One (1) months’ notice will be given to USFWS when the Contractor expects to have all of the equipment and furniture moved into the new building so FWS can schedule the demolition of the existing structure and then release the area to the Contractor to continue the work on the parking lot.

9. Clean up and close out of the project per these specifications.

E. The Contractor will make their own interpretation of the site subsurface data provided by the Geotechnical investigation included in the appendix as to the nature and extent of the work, including materials to be excavated.

F. Utilities Encountered - Efforts have been taken to locate all the underground utilities and cables on the contract drawings; however, unforeseen utilities and underground cables may be encountered. Actual cable locations shall be verified in the field by the Contractor by hand digging a minimum of five (5') on each side of the cable. USFWS owned cable will be marked by the USFWS prior to the start of work by the Contractor.

1. The USFWS does not guarantee the accuracy or the completeness of the location information relating to existing utility services, facilities, or structures that may be shown on the drawings. Any inaccuracy or omission in such information shall not relieve Contractor of its responsibility to protect such existing features from damage or unscheduled interruption of service.

G. The Contractor shall not take advantage of any apparent error, omission, discrepancy, or ambiguity on the Drawings or Specifications. If any error, omission, discrepancy, or ambiguity is found by the Contractor in the Drawings or Specifications, the Contractor shall refer the same to the Contracting Officer (CO) prior to beginning work on affected task(s), for interpretation and decision, and such decision shall be final.

H. The CO shall have the right to correct apparent errors or omissions in the Drawings and Specifications and to make such interpretations as he may deem necessary for the proper fulfillment of the Contract Documents. During the course of the work, should any conflicts, ambiguities, or discrepancies be found that are not addressed or any discrepancies between the Drawings and the Specifications to which the Contractor has failed to call attention before submitting the offer, then the CO will interpret the intent of the Drawings and Specifications and the Contractor hereby agrees to abide by the CO’s interpretation and agrees to carry out the work

SUMMARY OF WORK 01 10 00 - 3

in accordance with the decision of the CO. In such event the Contractor will be held to have included in the offer the most expensive material and/or method of construction

1.4 WORK PHASES

A. The work will be completed in one phase unless notified by Contracting Officer at initiation of contract. The Contractor will be responsible for determining the sequence of operation to complete each phase.

B. Before commencing Work, submit a schedule showing the sequence, commencement and completion dates, and move-in dates of USFWS's personnel for all of the Work.

Contractor requests to work outside normal working hours require COR approval. However, the COR has full discretion to approve or disapprove, or withdraw approval of requests. If the contractor desires to work outside normal hours (including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays), he shall submit his written request to the COR at least 48 hours in advance. Some typical constraints on working outside normal working hours are:

1. The Contractor’s request must be made at least two days in advance (e.g., request received by close of business Wednesday for work on following Saturday). Prior to submitting the request, the Contractor must coordinate as needed (such as utility outages) and have all required people and materials for the work that will be performed.

2. A Contractor with quality or safety problems (as determined by the COR) will be restricted to normal working hours. Contractors may also not work time outside of normal working hours if they are not present on the job site during normal working hours.

3. A Contractor who fails to correct deficiencies within a reasonable time (as determined by the COR) will be restricted to normal working hours or may be allowed to work outside

SUMMARY OF WORK 01 10 00 - 4

A. Limits and Constraints Regarding Submittals

1. Submittals shall be complete for each portion of the work; components of the work interrelated as a system shall be submitted at the same time.

2. When submittal acceptability is dependent on conditions, items, or materials included in separate subsequent submittals, the submittal will be returned without review.

3. Submittals of information not required as a submittal, or covering work for which the submittals have been returned as “No Exceptions Taken” will be returned without review.
