The Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer, for approval, his plan to control Foreign Objects Damage (FOD) at its mobilization site, construction site and during work on or near aircraft runways and/or taxiways. The plan shall be specific and shall describe in detail measures to be implemented to prevent deposit of foreign objects on runways and/or taxiways during construction. The Foreign Objects Damage (FOD) Control Plan shall be submitted fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the start of any work on or near aircraft runways or taxiways. No work will be allowed near any runways or taxiways without approval of the FOD control plan by the Contracting Officer.

1.22 NOTICES

1.22.1 1.21.1 Notice Of Construction

A Notice Of Proposed Construction Or Alteration must be submitted to Airfield Operations at least 30 days prior to the start of construction.

This notification must be submitted as directed by the Contracting Officer, but the Contractor must provide all information and prepare appropriate documentation for submission.

1.22.2 Issuance of NOTAMS

Only Airfield Operations can close, open, or restrict the use of any part of an airfield facility. Any conditions that would prevent, restrict, or present a hazard to arriving or departing aircraft requires public notification. Public notification is accomplished by the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) system. NOTAMS are submitted to the managing aviation authority by the KAF. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to coordinate with the Contracting Officer for the issuance of NOTAMS during construction. The Contractor shall provide the necessary information at least 72 hours before occurrence of the event that requires the NOTAM.

1.23 UNSCHEDULED WORK STOPPAGES

The Contractor shall anticipate unscheduled removal from the work site an

SECTION 01 15 00.12 10 Page 11 average of ten {10} hours per month per installation. If the total quantity of delays varies above or below the stated quantity, an equitable adjustment under Contract Clause 52.243-4 CHANGES shall be made upon written demand of either party. Upon the receipt of a written request for an extension, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and make an adjustment for extending the completion date if, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, a delay is justified.

1.6.2 Construction Submittals

Payment for materials incorporated in the work will not be made if required approvals have not been obtained. In event under separate clause of the contract, the Design-Build Contractor is allowed partial or total invoice payment for materials shipped from the Continental United States (CONUS), and/or stored at the site, the Design-Build Contractor shall with his request for such payment, submit copies of approvals (ENG Form 4025) utilizing RMS CM in accordance with Section 01 45 00.15 10 RESIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONTRACTOR MODE (RMS CM) certifying that the materials that are being shipped and/or stored have been approved and are in full compliance with the contract technical specifications.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

2.1 GENERAL

The following are contract deliverables which expound upon and finalize the design parameters/requirements outlined within the contract documents. They shall be prepared in such a fashion that the Prime Contractor is responsible to the Government and not as an internal document between the Prime Contractor and its Subcontractors, Vendors, Suppliers, etc.

2.2 DESIGN ANALYSIS

A design analysis, written in the English Language with SI units of measure (and I-P units in parenthesis), shall be submitted for review by the Government. The design analysis is a written explanation of the project design which is expanded and revised (updated) as the design progresses. The

SECTION 01 33 00.12 10 Page 5 design analysis shall contain all explanatory material giving the design rationale for any design decisions which would not be obvious to an engineer reviewing the final drawings and specifications. The design analysis contains the criteria for and the history of the project design, including criteria furnished by the Government, letters, codes, references, conference minutes, and pertinent research. Design calculations, computerized and manual, are included in the design analysis. Narrative descriptions of design solutions are also included. Written material may be illustrated by diagrams and sketches to convey design concepts. Catalog cuts and manufacturer's data for all equipment items, shall be submitted. Copies of all previous design phase review comments and the actions assigned to them shall be included with each submission of the design analysis. Specific requirements for the design analysis, listed by submittal phase, are contained hereinafter.

2.3 DESIGN CALCULATIONS

When they are voluminous, they shall be bound separately from the narrative part of the design analysis. The design calculations shall be presented in a clean and legible form incorporating a title page and index for each volume.

A table of contents, which shall be an index of the indices, shall be furnished when there is more than one volume. The source of loading conditions, supplementary sketches, graphs, formulae, and references shall be identified. Assumptions and conclusions shall be explained. Calculation sheets shall carry the names or initials of the computer and the checker and the dates of calculations and checking. No portion of the calculations shall be computed and checked by the same person.

2.3.1 Automatic Data Processing Systems (ADPS)

When ADPS are used to perform design calculations, the design analysis shall include descriptions of the computer programs used and the ADPS input data and output summaries. When the computer output is large, it may be divided into volumes at logical division points.

2.3.1.1 Computer Printouts

Each set of computer printouts shall be preceded by an index and by a description of the computation performed. If several sets of computations are submitted, they shall be accompanied by a general table of contents in addition to the individual indices.

2.3.1.2 Preparation of the Description

Preparation of the description which must accompany each set of ADPS printouts shall include the following.

a. Explain the design method, including assumptions, theories and formulae.

b. Include applicable diagrams, adequately identified.

c. State exactly the computation performed by the computer.

d. Provide all necessary explanations of the computer printout format, symbols, and abbreviations.

e. Use adequate and consistent notation.

f. Provide sufficient information to permit manual checks of the results.

2.4 SPECIFICATIONS

Specifications shall be prepared in accordance with the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format. The Design-Build Contractor prepared specifications shall include as a minimum, all applicable specifications

SECTION 01 33 00.12 10 Page 6 sections referenced by the CSI. Where the CSI does not reference a specification section for specific work to be performed by this contract, the Design-Build Contractor shall be responsible for creating the required specification.

2.4.1 Preparation of Proprietary Non-Generic Design Documents

During the course of design, the designer shall specify proprietary materials, equipment, systems, and patented processes by trade name, make, or catalog number. The subsequent use of construction submittals to supplant and/or supplement incomplete design effort is unacceptable. Design submittals containing non-proprietary and/or generic design criteria where proprietary items are available, will be returned for resubmission.

2.4.2 Use of Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS)

If UFGS are used, it is the sole responsibility of the Design-Build Contractor to prepare these specifications in strict conformance with the paragraph entitled PREPARATION OF PROPRIETARY NON-GENERIC DESIGN DOCUMENTS.

UFGS containing non-proprietary and/or generic design criteria where proprietary items are available will be returned for resubmission. If the UFGS contains a "SUBMITTALS" paragraph, the Design-Build Contractor shall delete it and incorporate all required information directly into the design documents. Under no circumstances will the Design-Build Contractor be permitted to use submittals and shop drawings to finalize an incomplete design.

2.4.3 Quality Control and Testing

Specifications shall include required quality control and further indicate all testing to be conducted by the Design-Build Contractor, its subcontractors, vendors and/or suppliers.

2.4.4 Ambiguities and indefinite specifications

Ambiguities, indefinite specification requirements (e.g., highest quality, workmanlike manner, as necessary, where appropriate, as directed etc)and language open to interpretation is unacceptable.
