C.16 SPECIAL RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS

1. Construction work at the NAPTF is conducted to support research activities and is subject to unique requirements. Test items may be indicated in the project plans to be constructed indoors, with associated issues of lighting, equipment and material entry into the building, operation inside the building, and adequate ventilation. Test items are subject to intense testing and documentation. Demolition and construction of layers are to be constructed in the sequence that is indicated in project documents.

Complete each layer before commencing with subsequent layers unless otherwise indicated in the project documents. Furnish materials to NAPTF personnel for sampling and testing as indicated in project documents. Cease demolition and construction activities for the duration of testing at times indicated in the project documents. Expect a work stoppage of 1 to 3 days, or as indicated in project documents, after completion of each layer to allow adequate time for the FAA to obtain samples, run tests, and install instrumentation. Coordinate activities with the NAPTF to avoid disturbance of research occurring outside the limits of this project (e.g. CC8 post-traffic testing, CC9 trafficking, etc.). Any requirement of these specifications may be waived to further the research goals of the project by written notification from the FAA to the Contractor.

ii. Project schedule. Contractor must prepare and maintain a schedule in MS Project format. Use the Critical Path Method to schedule and control project activities. Include submittals, review periods, all construction activities, inspection, testing, and closeout activities. Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal holidays are non-work days. Indicate if extended work hours will be requested.

iii. Safety plan. Contractor must identify potentially hazardous construction activities and planned mitigation procedures. The plan should include excavation, heavy equipment operation, and minimum Personal Protective Equipment requirements for site access in addition to each major construction activity.
