1.3 WORK UNDER OTHER CONTRACTS

A. General: Contractor shall note that work under this contract may run concurrent with other contracts at this site.

1.4 CONTRACTOR USE OF SITE

A. General: Contractor shall have limited use of the site for construction operations during the construction period. Contractor's use of the site is limited by the Government's right to perform work or to retain other contractors on portions of Project.

1. Limits: Confine constructions operations to building areas requiring work, as indicated in the contract drawings.

2. Limit site disturbance, including earthwork and clearing of vegetation, to 4 feet beyond mechanical pad expansion.

DEWA - 245920 01 11 00 - 2

B. Protection of Public: Contractor shall at all times conduct project operations to ensure the least inconvenience to the NPS Employee and Visitor. Fence, barricade, or otherwise block off the immediate work area to prevent unauthorized entry. Erect and maintain fencing, barricades, lights, signals, and warning signs in accordance with MUTCD-2009. Road closures will be permitted, when required, upon specific approval of Contracting Officer on a case by case basis with at least 48 hours advanced notice.

C. Storage of Materials: Confine storage of materials to locations coordinated with Park. Staging and parking for vehicles, equipment and materials shall be confined to hardscape areas and parking areas, and gravel areas with advanced park approval or directed otherwise by the

Contracting Officer. Long-term placement of equipment requires additional clearance. Storage of any materials or equipment on site shall be at the Contractor’s own risk.

D. Check the job site at the end of each day to remove trash, food, and food-related items remaining at the site and disposing of them in an appropriate receptacle.

E. Preservation of Natural Features and Environmental Requirements:

2. Provide temporary barriers to protect existing trees and plants and root zones.

3. Do not remove, injure, or destroy trees or other plants without prior approval. Consult with

Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and remove agreed-on roots and branches that interfere with construction.

4. Do not fasten ropes, cables, or guys to existing trees.

5. Carefully supervise excavating, grading, filling, and other construction operations near trees to prevent damage.

6. No operations should occur within drip area of any tree.

7. To reduce the potential for rutting, erosion and soil compaction, the use of heavy equipment will be used only when other options are exhausted.

8. Install erosion and sediment control measures at the work site in accordance with the contract specifications, drawings, and compliance requirements provided. If no drawing details are provided then E&S best practices prevail and a form documenting an “under

1 acre of disturbance plan” form must be provided to the government as part of Division

I submittals.

9. Use only certified weed-free straw or mulch to minimize the potential spread of exotic plants in disturbed areas.

10. Soil: Protect against erosion and topsoil depletion according to specifications, best practices or industry standard. Restore staging areas or any disturbed areas to their original condition. At the direction of the CO, restore/treat any turf or trees disturbed during construction according to specifications, best practices or industry standard.

11. Habitats: Protect natural habitats and ecological systems at Peirce House site (as identified in the Categorical Exclusion and delineated Construction Zone - Area of Potential

Affects).

12. Noise: Minimize noise generation during construction. Operate power equipment in accordance with local noise restrictions. See section 01 57 19.12 - Noise and Acoustics

Management.

DEWA - 245920 01 11 00 - 3

waste materials as economically feasible shall be reused, salvaged, or recycled. Waste disposal in landfills shall be minimized.

14. Materials: Use resources efficiently. Use construction practices that achieve the most efficient use of resources and materials.

If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then 1/2 of equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment not used and on job site for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work.

Equipment still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.

10. The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government.
