SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 GENERAL

Right-of-way for construction purposes will be furnished by the Government without cost to the Contractor. Where right-of-way for access to a work site is not available over existing public roads, access through private lands as shown on the contract drawings will be furnished by the Government without cost to the Contractor. The Contractor will be required at its own expense to do all work necessary to make such right-of-way suitable for traveling to and from the work site without interrupting the existing drainage. Upon completion of the contract work, any such access roadway and right-of-way furnished by the Government shall be left in a condition satisfactory to the Contracting Officer.

1.2 PUBLIC UTILITIES AND PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS

a. Unless otherwise specified, shown on the drawings, or stated in writing by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall not move or disturb any public utilities or private improvements. Such removals, alterations, and/or relocations, where necessary, will be made by others. The locations shown on the drawings for underground utilities are approximate only. The exact locations of such utilities shall be determined by the Contractor in the field prior to commencing construction operations in their vicinity.

b. The attention of the Contractor is directed to the possibility that public utilities or private improvements may be encountered within the construction limits, some of which may be buried, and the existence of which is presently not known. Should any such utilities or improvements be encountered, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer so that a determination may be made as to whether they shall be removed, relocated, or altered. After such determination is made, the Contractor shall, if so directed by the Contracting Officer, remove, relocate, or alter them as required and an equitable adjustment will be made. In the event the Contracting Officer arranges for such removals, alterations, or relocations to be performed by others, the Contractor shall cooperate with such others during the latters' removal, alteration, or relocation operations.

1.3 DAMAGE TO WORK.

The responsibility for damage to any part of the permanent work shall be as set forth in the Contract Clause entitled "Permits and Responsibilities." However, if in the judgment of the Contracting Officer any part of the permanent work performed by the Contractor is damaged by flood or earthquake, which damage is not due to the failure of the Contractor to take reasonable precautions or to exercise sound engineering and construction practices in the conduct of the work, the Contractor shall make the repairs as ordered by the Contracting Officer and full compensation for such repairs will be made at the applicable contract unit or job prices as fixed and established in the contract. If in the opinion of the Contracting Officer there are no contract unit or lump sum prices applicable to any part of such work, an equitable adjustment pursuant to

DOCUMENT 00 08 00 Page 2 the Contract Clause entitled, "Changes," of the contract will be made as full compensation for the repairs of that part of the permanent work for which there are no applicable contract unit or lump sum prices. Except as herein provided, damage to all work (including temporary construction), utilities, materials, equipment, and plant shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer at the Contractor's expense, regardless of the cause of such damage.

1.4 QUANTITY SURVEYS

The Contractor shall have a Professional Land Surveyor registered in the state the work is being accomplished conduct original and final earthwork surveys.

Copies of laboratory test reports submitted with certificates shall contain the name and address of the testing laboratory and the date or dates of the tests to which the report applies. Certification shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor from responsibility for furnishing satisfactory material if, after tests are performed on selected samples, the material is found not to meet the specific requirements.

1.7 PURCHASE ORDERS

Purchase orders for other than stock materials showing the firm names and addresses and list of material shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative as soon as issued.

1.8 SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS MANUAL EM 385-1-1

1.20 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

In accordance with the provisions of Subpart 36.201(Evaluation of Contractor Performance) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), construction contractor's performance shall be evaluated throughout the performance of the contract. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the procedures outlined in Engineering Regulation 415-1-17 to fulfill this FAR requirement.

DOCUMENT 00 08 00 Page 8

(interim or final) is written up by the USACE, the contractor will have the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 30 days. Accessing and using CPARS requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on the user's computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $110 - $125 per certificate per year and is purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor.

Current information about the PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.navy.mil/.

This locally developed training will be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity. This training shall be completed within 30 calendar days of contract award and within 30 calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the COR NLT 5 calendar days after the completion of the training.

The Contractor must pre-screen Candidates using the E-verify Program (http://www.uscis.gov/e-verify) website to meet the established employment eligibility requirements. The Vendor must ensure that the Candidate has two valid forms of Government issued identification prior to enrollment to ensure the correct information is entered into the E-verify system.
