3.3 For Rows #23 and #24, the Contractor’s F-35 shade structure design shall provide for a vertical wall panel at its west end to help shade the occupants from the late afternoon sun and heat. The wall panel’s specifications for the panel width, gage, standing seams, and length shall match the shade structure’s SSMR roof panel specifications.

3.4 The Contractor shall prepare and submit a proposed Progress Schedule at the 35% design level for Contracting Officer review and approval.

3.5 The Contractor shall prepare and submit a Schedule of Materials and Values at the 35% design level that provides the Government a line item breakout of the shade structure’s material costs for Contracting Officer review and approval.

3.6 The Contractor will be given site access to the current F-35 shade structures to help evaluate their dimensions and existing components.

3.7 The Contractor shall field verify the shade structure dimensions after contract award and bring any dimension discrepancies noted to the Contracting Officer’s attention before starting any design work.

3.8 The Government will organize a site survey with the Contractor in order to take official measurements and fulfill any other design requirements.

3.9 The Contractor shall provide field surveying services to ensure each shade structure’s columns are installed in the correct locations and the distance between the shade structures complies with aircraft taxi and clearance requirements. The Contractor’s surveyor shall field verify that each column’s proposed anchor bolt location maintains a minimum separation edge distance of 16 inches from existing concrete apron construction joints or expansion joints.

3.10 The Contractor shall coordinate with the 57th Wing Project Coordinator and Airfield Base Operations Manager to obtain the correct shade structure separation distance and arrange for site access to conduct the field survey. The Contractor (or his surveyor subcontractor) shall capture and include the latitude / longitude (lat/long) locations for both shade structures’ individual columns and include that information on the Contractor’s construction plans and As-built drawings.

3.11 The Contractor shall field core the existing concrete apron slab at each shade structure’s proposed location to determine if the existing slab has adequate thickness to support the columns or if new concrete footing(s) shall be required. In the event a column requires a new footing, the Contracting Officer shall make the final decision.

The Contractor shall submit the core sample(s) to the Contracting Officer’s civil engineering technical representative for review and approval purposes.

3.12 The Contractor shall submit a 35%, 65%, 95% and 100% set of construction drawings and specifications for each shade structure for Government review and approval purposes.

Refer to Paragraph 22.1 FAA Notification for details.

3.17 The Government will prepare and submit a Temporary Airfield Construction Waiver (TACW) to notify and obtain base and airfield management approval for both shade structure projects. The TACW approval process can take 3 to 4 months or longer, depending on the number of individuals required to review and sign the document. The TACW generally includes a request for a Construction Free Zone that will allow any number of Contractor personnel to work in the cordoned off worksite, while accompanied by only one line badged escort. Without Free Zone approval, the base shall require one line badged escort for every 10 employees working at the construction site.

4. CONTRACTOR CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS:

TACW, the FAA airfield waiver and required submittals and the Contractor receives a Notice to Proceed (NTP) to begin construction from the Contracting Officer.

4.3 Prior to construction, all Contractor personnel shall obtain a driver briefing and training from Base Operations, Bldg 811, before they will be allowed to drive on Flight Line road and the aircraft parking apron. The Contractor shall contact Base Operations at (702) 652-4482 to arrange for driver training.

4.4 The Contractor shall brief his employees to always use the checkered white and red line areas located along Flight Line road to enter and exit the construction site on the aircraft parking apron. The Contractor shall strongly emphasize to his employees the importance to never cross the solid red line along Flight Line road.

The Contractor shall coordinate with Base Operations Airfield Management and the 57th Wing Project Coordinator to determine where the barriers shall be located.

4.7 The Contractor shall provide for and construct the new F-35 shade structure per the Contractor’s 100% Government approved plans and specifications. All structural member connections, their gusset plates and welds shall be shop fabricated when possible to save time and eliminate the IBC requirement for special field weld inspections. Whenever field welds are required, the Contractor shall comply with the IBC special weld inspection requirements. The Contractor shall submit the third party special weld inspector’s certifications and the inspector’s field inspection report(s) for Contracting Officer review and approval.

4.8 All bolts and their self-locking nuts installed at the member connections and torqued to specifications, shall be painted with a bright red or bright yellow slippage mark for future inspection purposes. The paint used by the Contractor for the slippage marks shall offer durability and long life.

4.9 The Contractor shall request an NTP from the Contracting Officer to order long lead requisition items such as steel girders, columns, etc., when necessary.

4.10 The Contractor shall obtain Engineer of Record and Contracting Officer approval in writing prior to making any field changes to the shade structures that differ from the Government approved 100% shade structure construction plans and for any material variance substituted for the material submittals approved earlier by the Government.

4.11 Whenever work is underway, the Contractor shall have a field supervisor or foreman present at the jobsite to supervise the company’s employees and to oversee the work.

4.12 The Contractor shall maintain a set of Red Line construction drawings at the jobsite at all times and capture any field change and or modification authorized by the Engineer of Record and the Government in a timely manner. The Contractor’s Red Line drawings shall be subject to Government inspection at any time.

4.13 The Contractor shall coordinate all work on the airfield and material deliveries with Base Operations Airfield Management. The Contractor shall anticipate that airfield emergencies and other base airfield operations may require his crew to cease work for several hours or possibly several days. Therefore, for project bid purposes, the Contractor shall include an estimated two (2) day delay in his cost proposal.

4.14 The Contractor shall comply with all applicable OSHA and airfield safety requirements, to include providing hearing protection for his employees. Aircraft jet engine noise on the flight line is serious and often exceeds safe noise levels. The engine noise will hurt an individual’s hearing when noise levels reach 90 decibels

(db) and can cause permanent hearing loss when noise levels exceed 120 db. Hearing protection for all personnel on the flight line is required.

4.15 Once a shade structure’s construction nears completion, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing a minimum of two (2) weeks in advance when he wishes to hold a final inspection. The Government requires adequate time to schedule the requirement.
