BACKGROUND INFORMATION

A. AOC’s purview: The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is responsible for the maintenance, operation, development, and preservation of over 17,400,000 square feet of building space and over 530 acres of land within the United States Capitol Complex and outlying sites. AOC facilities are organized by Jurisdictions which include the United States Capitol, the House Office Buildings, and the Senate Office Buildings, the Library of Congress Buildings and Grounds, the United States Supreme Court, the United States Botanic Garden, the United States Capitol Power Plant, the Capitol Grounds, and the Capitol Police Buildings, Grounds and Security. AOC maintains off-site facilities in the District of Columbia and in Virginia and Maryland. Some off-site facilities include climate control book storage facilities, data centers, Security training facilities, child care centers and mail facilities.

B. Higher standard of care: Compared to a typical commercial project, an AOC project requires on the part of the Contractor a higher level of attentiveness and detail, a greater amount of look-ahead and pre-planning, and a rigorous regard for security restrictions.

AOC projects seek to preserve the character and history of the Capitol, other Capitol

A/E P/N. 19320 SECTION 010000-3 of 8 Version Date: 2/10/2020

Complex Buildings, or the United States Capitol Grounds. AOC’s design guidelines emphasize building longevity, security and safety, and historic preservation. The Contractor shall accord with these precepts by anticipating greater attention to detail and tighter coordination with stakeholders.

C. Coordination with Other Work: Contractor should anticipate and plan for concurrent projects with overlapping schedules and work areas. The Contractor shall fully inform himself as to conditions relating to construction and labor under work by others that may affect the Project. The Contractor shall cooperate in every way with other parties doing work and provide, to the extent their work is affected by his work, all information necessary for the proper execution of their work, without delay (AOC52.236-2).

D. Irregularity of Capitol Complex operations: Capitol Complex operations are, at irregular and unanticipated times, interrupted due to events that can occur on the Capitol Complex, e.g. funerals in the Rotunda, closure of Congressional buildings due to unusual activities, etc. These events can impact AOC contractor operations. Any AOC contractor that becomes aware of an event that may affect its operations on the Capitol Complex may go to www.aoc.gov/business/contractors to receive current information of the operational status of the Capitol Complex. Before ceasing or limiting its operations, the Contractor must obtain written approval from the COTR (AOC52.204-6).

A/E P/N. 19320 SECTION 010000-4 of 8 Version Date: 2/10/2020

A. Reference AOC52.229-1.

EXAMINATION OF EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS

A. Execution of the Contract by the Contractor is a representation that the Contractor has visited the Project site, become generally familiar with local conditions, and correlated personal observations with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

B. Contractor shall, before starting each portion of the Work, carefully review the relevant Contract Documents as well as information provided by Architect, shall take any necessary field measurements of existing conditions, and shall observe any conditions at the site affecting the Work.

CONFLICTING REQUIREMENTS

A. Contractor shall promptly inform Architect, in writing, of any discovered errors, omissions, discrepancies, conflicts, or ambiguities in the Contract Documents before proceeding with any work affected by such factors. Failure to do so will be at the risk of the Contractor (AOC52.311-3).

B. Anything mentioned in the specifications and not shown on the drawings, or shown on the drawings and not mentioned in the specifications, shall be of like effect as if shown or mentioned in both.

The Contractor shall perform such details as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications

(AOC52.236-10).

D. Industry Standards: Where compliance with two (2) or more industry standards or sets of requirements is specified, and overlapping of those different standards or requirements establishes different or conflicting minimums or levels of quality, the most stringent requirement is intended and will be enforced, unless specifically detailed language written into Contract Documents clearly indicates that a less stringent requirement is to be fulfilled. Refer apparently-equal-but-different requirements, and uncertainties as to which level of quality is more stringent, to the Architect for a decision before proceeding.

CONTRACT DOCUMENTS MAINTAINED ON PROJECT SITE

A. Contractor shall keep on the Project site a copy of the full-sized drawings and specifications, approved shop drawings, product data and samples, and shall at all times give the Architect access thereto (AOC52.236-10).

B. As specified in Section 017839 “Project Record Documents,” store record documents and samples in the field office apart from the Contract Documents used for construction.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY OF DOCUMENTS

A. Before dissemination to subcontractors or other personnel, all Architect drawings and electronic copies thereof shall be considered at minimum to be Sensitive but Unclassified

(SBU) (AOC52.223-3).
