At the Work Clear-ance meeting, the Contractor will receive an AF Form 103, instructions for completing the form, and a date and time for utilities to be marked. The Contractor shall not commence excavation prior to obtaining an approved

AF Form 103. After all respective utilities have been marked and verified by the Project Inspector, the Contractor

SECTION 01 11 10 Page 13 shall return the original AF Form 103 to his/her respective Project Inspector for coordination and signature by the

Chief of Engineering. No digging or excavation shall begin before the Chief of Engineering signs the AF Form

103. After the Chief of Engineering signs the AF Form 103, the Project Inspector will return it to the Contractor.

Then, and only then, shall the Contractor commence excavation. The Contractor shall maintain all utility markings for the duration of the contract. Contractor shall maintain original version of the AF Form 103 for the duration of excavation work at the particular site. Ensure all applicable parties have coordinated on the form prior to excava-tion. For Miss Utility, use the Ticket Information Exchange (TIE) number or actual technician signature as evi-dence of coordination. The AF Form 103 clearance shall not be allowed to expire. The Contractor shall revali-date/resubmit the AF Form 103 within seven days prior to the expiration date if it is anticipated or known that the duration of excavation will exceed the 30-day limitation.

1.15.2 Miss Utility

Contractor shall contact Miss Utility (1-800-552-7001) at least 48 hours prior to excavation to identify non-Air

Force-owned underground utilities (cable TV, Bell Atlantic and Virginia Power, etc.). Notices to Miss Utility are good for 15 working days; after that period, Contractor shall renew the notice. Indicate renewals on the AF Form

103 as applicable. Miss Utility is open 24 hours, seven days a week. Calls after 1700, before 0700, on weekends and on holidays are accepted for emergencies only. Holidays include New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day after

Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. After 48 hours, Contractor should contact Miss Utility to confirm that clear-ance/marking operations have been completed. The Contractor must wait an additional 24 hours if any operators or contract locators have not responded to the Ticket Information Exchange (TIE) system request within the first

48 hours.

1.15.3 Markings

1.15.3.1 General Requirements for Marking Utilities

a. Prior to commencing any excavation, the Contractor must inspect the site for clear evidence of unmarked facilities. If evidence of such facilities is present, the excavator must notify the notification center and wait an additional three hours for the facilities to be marked.

b. The Contractor may choose to wait 72 hours and begin work after that time if there is no evidence that any underground facilities remain unmarked. However, it is recommended that Contractors contact the TIE system and confirm the status of underground facilities before they commence work.

c. After the markings have been made, Contractors are required to maintain a minimum clearance of two feet between a marked, underground utility line and the cutting edge of any power-operated excavating equip-ment. If excavation is required within two feet of any marking, it shall be performed very carefully with hand tools in accordance with Virginia Code Section 56-265.24.

d. If, during the course of excavation, a utility line has been exposed, before backfilling, the Contractor must inspect these facilities to ascertain if the facilities have been damaged. If damage of any kind is dis-covered or suspected, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to immediately notify the utility owner directly.

The Contractor must NOT attempt to repair damaged facilities.

e. Maintain any paint marks or stakes indicating underground utilities/lines as required during the duration of work or thirty calendar days from date of approved AF Form 103 (whichever is earlier). Note that Miss

Utility clearance expires after fifteen working days.

1.16 OCCUPANCY AND SERVICES TO EXISTING FACILITIES

a. The Government will not occupy the existing building during construction. The Contractor shall not interrupt utilities serving these areas without coordinating with the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative.

SECTION 01 11 10 Page 14

1.17 UTILITIES

All reasonable amounts of water and electricity required for this work will be made available to the Contractor if such utilities exist at the project site. Temporary lines, connections, installation, maintenance and removal shall be the Contractor’s responsibility. The Contracting Officer, or the Contracting Officer’s designated representative, shall approve any temporary lines and connections. All services are subject to discontinuance without notice to the

Contractor in an emergency. Three-phase power may not be available. The Contractor shall provide his/her own necessary utilities when such utilities are not available at the project site.

1.18 UTILITY OUTAGES AND TRAFFIC

Contractor shall request utility/power outages or changes to normal traffic flow pattern at least 14 calendar days in advance of disruption or change to either. For medical facilities, a notice of at least 30 calendar days is required.

Existing restroom facilities may not be used by construction personnel. The Contractor shall maintain, in a neat and sanitary condition, such accommodations for the use of his employees. Temporary restroom facilities shall be white in color.

1.20 SUPERVISION

1.20.2 Superintendent

The Contractor shall employ a construction superintendent to oversee all work under this contract. The superin-tendent shall remain at the project site at all times when work is in progress except for such incidental errands required by his/her duties. The superintendent is responsible for the proper coordination and timeliness of the work, and for proper workmanship of all trades; therefore, his/her absence from the project site without a suitable substi-tute representative of the Contractor shall be considered as damaging to the Government. The ability of the super-intendent, based on his/her knowledge and experience, are essential to the proper execution of the work, as is his/her ability to communicate and direct the efforts of those performing the work.

1.22 RECORD DRAWINGS

1.22.1 Record of Work Progress

During the progress of the work, the Contractor shall keep a careful record at the job site of all changes, corrections and deviations from the layouts and details shown on the drawings to include all contract modifications. The

Contractor shall enter such changes on project drawings promptly, but not later than on a weekly basis. Such revised drawings shall be considered “redline” as-built drawings.

1.22.2 Record of Underground Utilities

Where underground utilities are installed, note the elevation of the utility installed every fifty feet. Where new utilities cross existing utilities, note the elevation of the new and existing utility and the vertical or horizontal separation. Where new utilities run parallel to new and existing utilities, note the elevation at which installed and the horizontal and vertical separation between utilities.

1.23 DELIVERABLES AND FINAL AS-BUILTS

1.23.1 Geodetic Control Surveys

The Contractor shall provide horizontal and vertical control surveys for the precise location of primary survey points for planning, engineering, construction, real estate projects, GIS applications or facility manage-ment.

1.23.2 Deliverable Requirements

All locational base map (point, line and polygon feature(s)) data collected shall be delivered in ESRI ArcGIS 9.x digital format along with the original source files. The geospatial files shall have an external spatial reference

(.prj) file attached specifying the parameters of the coordinate system used (as provided by the government). All topologically correct geospatial data shall overlay on the installations latest orthorectified imagery provided by the government, using the same coordinate and projection system of the imagery (WGS84). All accuracy errors shall be reported to the contract program manager.

1. All Architectural/Engineering data (building components, plans, designs, etc.) shall be in a digital (electronic information) format AutoCAD 2005 or higher. Drawings will be delivered in the AutoCAD “.DWG” file format. The Contractor shall use the A-E/C CADD Standard 4.0 (or latest version) when creating or revising any CADD data deliverables.

2. All graphic and non-graphic data will be collected in the format defined by the Spatial Data Standards Facil-ities, Infrastructure, and Environmental (SDSFIE) release 2.60 (or the most current version available), except where modified by the Government. This standard can be found at https://www.sdsfie.org.

3. The contractor shall provide a quality control (QC) report that must state whether all inconsistencies in the data generated were corrected, or it must detail the remaining errors by case. The contractor shall utilize a topology build and clean routine to assure that there are no overshoots or undershoots in the line work, slivers or dangles in polygons, and that there is complete closure of polygons with a maximum fuzzy tolerance value of 10-9. The quality report must identify the software (name and version) and satisfy these conditions:

a. The edges of all digitized vector data or raster imagery must exactly match digitally with those of all adjacent maps.

b. The digital representation of the common boundaries for all graphic features must be exactly the same, regardless of feature layer. Each feature within a layer must be represented by a single graphic element

(e.g. polygon, line or line string).

c. Lines and line strings which represent the same graphic element must be continuous (i.e., not broken or segmented), unless that segmentation reflects a specific visual line type. Lines or line strings represent-ing the same type of data must not cross except at intersections.

d. Polygons must be closed (i.e. the first x- and y-coordinates must exactly match the last x- and y-coordi-nates). Each polygon must have a single unique centroid to which attributes (i.e. an attribute table) can be attached. Polygons of the same coverage must not overlap and must cover the area of interest com-pletely (i.e. have no gaps in coverage).

e. All graphic elements that connect must exactly connect digitally, without overlaps or gaps.

f. Straight lines must be represented by only the beginning and ending x- and y-coordinate points. Line strings must not cross back on themselves or be of zero length.

4. Feature Attributes: The contractor shall identify the classification, type, size, location, ID number and any other necessary attributes (specified by the Government) for all surveyed, mapped, designed or proposed features.

5. All symbol libraries, font libraries, text size, text format and text placement shall be prepared in accordance with and conform to the Spatial Data Standards (SDS).

6. The contractor shall not develop new libraries without prior written approval from the Government.
