If the manufacturer of any product used in accomplishing this project has published an installation and/or operation manual, such manual shall be followed in its entirety. If any organization such as, but not limited to, APA or ANSI publish any construction guide, it will be followed as applicable to this project. If the manufacturer’s manual deviates from any established code, regulation, local requirement or this scope of work, such deviation shall be brought to the attention of the government representative before award, for written resolution. A revised scope of work will be issued to specify such resolution and incorporated in any resulting award.
7.04 Commissioning of major systems (e.g., HVAC, fire protection, etc.) is required, unless otherwise noted.
7.05 The contractor shall comply with Federal directives by recycling at least 50% of Construction waste.
7.06 The contractor shall comply with all Federal, State and Army Environmental requirements.
Ensure Contractor responsibilities and operating limitations are noted in proposal [i.e. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be initiated and paid for by the contractor, contractor must conduct and record dust control for all dust-generating activities, contractor cannot use photo-chemically-reactive solvents in the application of architectural coating, etc.].
Contractor shall keep all required records as stated in the following (and any others as required by Federal/State authorities) and submit to the government.

All historic fabric of the building is Government property and those items that cannot be reused (such as doors, windows, door/window hardware, hand rails, etc.) shall be returned to the Government after removal from the building.
7.09 Environmental work statement clause for all exterior work (SWPPP)
7.09.01 Through the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) permitting program, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) regulates the discharge of storm water from construction sites throughout the state including those on military installations. The contractor shall also obtain all permits for the rain water collection system.
7.09.01.01 "Construction" refers to actions that result in a disturbance of the land, including clearing, grading, excavating, and other similar activities. It also includes "construction-related activities," areas that support the construction project such as stockpiles, borrow areas, concrete truck washouts, fueling areas, material storage areas and equipment storage areas.
7.09.01.02 Stockpiles, borrow pits, etc. need to be weed-free areas. Contractors shall use certified weed-free fill or contractors must sterilize the fill before bringing it onto the installation.
7.09.02 The AZPDES Storm water Program requires operators of construction sites one acre or larger (including smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan of development) to obtain authorization to discharge storm water under an AZPDES construction storm water permit. The Contractor is responsible for determining whether its construction site will exceed this minimum threshold with consideration of the definition provided above and if so, obtaining coverage under an AZPDES construction storm water permit.
7.09.03 Obtaining coverage under an AZPDES permit entails preparing and implementing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with ADEQ requirements and submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under the applicable AZPDES general permit. Once ADEQ receives the NOI, ADEQ then issues an authorization certificate to the Contractor. If a contractor has a sub-contractor working together on the same project, then the contractor and sub-contractor(s) will have to submit a NOI for the same job and separate authorization certificates will be issued to each party.
7.09.04 If the Contractor determines that the project will not exceed the minimum threshold and does not submit an NOI and it is later determined that the threshold is exceeded, the Contractor will be required to stop all work until they have completed the above process. If the appropriate documentation is not provided to the Government prior to the start of construction or once the threshold is exceeded, the Contracting Officer will be notified of the failure to comply with a contract requirement, the ADEQ Enforcement Section will be notified, and other appropriate action will be taken to resolve the matter. The Contractor and any sub-contractor(s) will be liable for any fines levied by ADEQ.
7.09.05 A critical component of the SWPPP is final site stabilization. This generally involves restoring the disturbed area to at least 70% of its former vegetative state. After implementing all aspects of the SWPPP, to include final site stabilization, the contractor submits a Notice of Termination to ADEQ, ending coverage under the AZPDES permit.
7.09.06 The government highly recommends that contractors visit the ADEQ website at https://www.azdeq.gov, under water programs and type in "Construction Permits/SWPPP" in the search box for all relevant information on obtaining coverage.
7.09.07 It is the responsibility of the Contractor to develop a SWPPP that meets applicable requirements; the Government will not review or approve the Contractor SWPPP for compliance with applicable laws. The Contractor and any sub-contractor(s) shall provide a copy of the ADEQ Notice of Intent (NOI) and a copy of the SWPPP to the Government employee performing construction oversight prior to any construction or construction-related activities as defined above. Contractor may request a courtesy inspection by the Government of their site as it conforms to their SWPPP.
8.0 Door Locks
8.01 Exterior and interior doors requiring locks shall be provided with construction cores and keys by the contractor. The using organization is required to acquire the permanent keys and cores through the Directorate of Public Works.

Any and all waste products created during performance of the work shall be removed from the project site, packaged in an environmentally approved manner and disposed of OFF-POST at an environmentally approved disposal site.
10.0 Utilities
10.01 Where available, onsite utilities will be provided to the contractor at their expense and will require a Utility Sales Agreement with Fort Huachuca. These utilities shall be used only in the performance and support of the project.

The contractor shall complete the temporary connection and all temporary electrical work in accordance with applicable codes and standards. Temporary electrical wiring and devices shall comply with the current National Electrical Code. Temporary wiring and devices shall be removed at project completion. All temporary electrical work shall be at the contractor’s expense.
10.03 Expansions/tie-ins to the potable water system and/or sewer collection system must be coordinated with the DPW. Some projects for expanding the potable water system and/or the sewer collection system will require an ADEQ 4.01 permit/NOI, prior to breaking ground.
11.0 Storage Areas/Lay Down Yards
11.01 The contractor and the Contracting Officer’s Representative will agree on temporary storage areas and lay down yards in the general location of the project. Request for proposed storage area shall be submitted with the proposal documents. The contractor shall be responsible for the safety, security and maintenance associated with storage areas. Storage areas shall be kept clean and in a neat and organized appearance at all times. If the storage area is not maintained, the Contracting Officer may direct the contractor to store materials off the installation.
