1. SCOPE OF WORK

a. The Architect-Engineer (A-E) shall provide design and engineering services for the preparation of plans, specifications, design analyses, cost estimates, studies, DD1391s, and design-build requests for proposal (RFPs) for Architectural projects at various locations in Japan.

b. During the bidding phase for the construction project, the A-E is responsible to respond to Pre- Proposal Inquiries (PPIs) to clarify the design, clarify the intent of the construction documents, or correct any errors or omissions.

laws and regulations.

2. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. Each project will be issued as a negotiated task order against the basic contract.

a. Project Schedule: The project schedule will be set up separately for each task order. Normally, the Government review time will be 14 days after submittal. For projects with urgent completion dates, “over the shoulder” review conferences may be scheduled.

b. Submittal Items: The items to be submitted shall be as indicated in reference (a) or as specified in the scope of work for each project. Some submittals will need to be shipped or delivered directly to specific customers to arrive on the required schedule. Each submittal shall include comment/response sheets showing all review comments from the previous submittal indicating the action(s) taken by the A-E.

c. Reproduction Requirements: All reproduction requirements will be summarized in the scope of work for each project.

3. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS. The A-E shall be responsible for the following, as applicable, for each task order issued:

a. Accident Prevention Plan (APP). The A-E shall prepare and submit an A-E Safety Plan/APP for approval by NAVFAC prior to each field investigation performed under this contract. The A-E Safety Plan/APP must be prepared in accordance with reference (b) and applicable local laws and regulations.

The prime A-E will prepare the A-E Safety Plan/APP for the entire team, with the sub-consultants submitting their respective hazard analysis for incorporation into the prime’s package.

(1) Note: Host Nation Safety training will be considered to be equivalent to the 30 hour OSHA

Construction safety class training requirement. The Japan Construction Occupational Safety and Health Association (JCOSHA) provides the construction safety course “Course for Construction Site Managers (project site manager / construction chief)”, which is an acceptable equivalent to the 30-hour OSHA Construction Safety Course mentioned above.

This training can be viewed at the JCOSHA web site:
