If a change of plane of 1/4 inch or more is discovered, submit recommendation to the CO for providing a smooth transition.
Patch or replace portions of existing surfaces which are damaged or showing other imperfections. Finish surfaces as specified.
4.2.8 Airfield Waiver: Airfield waiver is not required for this project.
4.2.9 Welding Permits: No cutting or welding will be permitted without first obtaining a permit issued by the Base Fire Department. All fire and safety regulations are to be followed stringently. Contractor’s failure to obtain a cutting or welding permit may not be reason for extending the contract performance period. Any damages incurred while welding work is done without a permit are the responsibility of Contractor.
4.3 SCHEDULING
4.3.1 Contractor must coordinate all work schedules and manage progress of work with the CO and CEPM prior to start of work. Weekly progress meetings will be conducted with the CO, CMI, and Contractor’s team which may require corporate management representation at CAFB discretion.
4.3.2 Contractor must schedule all work. Performance periods must not be established or extended to accommodate insufficient personnel resources. Contractor will not move crews on and off the project while making minimal progress on concurrent projects as this must be construed as having an inadequate work force to fulfill the contract requirements. Contractor’s CPM and CSS must not change more than two (2) times during project construction as this would demonstrate an inadequate management force to fulfill contract requirements.
4.3.3 Before construction begins, Contractor must agree with CO on a sequence of procedures; means of access to premises and buildings; materials and equipment storage space; delivery of materials and use of approaches, corridors, and stairways. Contractor may be required to revise the CD work-phasing schedule.
4.3.4 Interference and inconvenience to Government operations and personnel caused by project work including use and delivery of materials, tools and equipment must be kept to a minimum.
4.3.5 The Government may require that work, so far as practicable, be done in separate phases. Each phase may relate to a different occupied or unoccupied area, in which work in one area must be completed before work in another area may begin. Phased work areas must be clearly delineated and annotated in the CDs.
4.3.6 Hours of Work: Normal work hours will be Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 4:15pm excepting days observed as Federal Holidays as listed below:

Work in CAFB occupied areas during extra-normal work hours require AF escorts in the occupied areas. Modification to contract sum or period of performance will not be allowed.
3) The Government’s request for Contractor to work outside of the normal duty hours must be justification for modification to contract sum or period of performance.
4) If CAFB observes an unscheduled holiday, participates in training exercises, etc. Contractor may be prohibited from working for part or the whole of a day. 14CES does not know how many or when these activities might be scheduled but anticipate not less than two per year. CMI will allow additional contract time for these disruptions. Zero-cost modification to period of performance will be allowed.
4.3.7 Construction Schedule: Submit preliminary schedule to the CO at the Preconstruction Meeting, but not later than fourteen (14) days after issuance of Notice to Proceed. After CAFB review and comment, revise and resubmit schedule within seven (7) days. Upon approval by the CO, the schedule becomes the official Construction Progress Schedule. Keep a copy available at Contractor (field) Office. This schedule will only be changed with prior approval of the CO through a contract Modification.
4.3.8 Construction Progress Schedule: Submit and maintain an accurate and current Gantt chart to track construction progress with a separate horizontal line for each major work activity of subcontractors, manufacturers, and suppliers. Vertical lines must identify the first workday of each week. Show complete sequence of construction by activity, identifying separate stages of work and other logically grouped activities. Indicate early and late start, early and late finish, float dates, and duration of each activity.
Revise chart weekly to accurately identify progress made, percentage completion, and projected completion date for each activity. Show activities modified and scope changes.

4.5 MATERIAL SUBMITTALS AND SHOP DRAWINGS
4.5.1 Definitions: A submittal is a package of project information, samples, drawings, schedules, certifications, product data, etc., submitted to the Contracting Officer for Government review. A deviation is a submittal wherein Contractor identifies an item that is in agreement with the intent of the Contract Documents, but does not precisely conform to those documents and Contractor requests either substitution or change for the purpose of increasing the quality of the final product. A Submittal or Deviation of a system must be considered as an integrated collection of component parts.
4.5.2 Purpose: Submittals formalize Government review of Contractor choices in complying with the CDs and providing Minimum Installer Qualifications (Section 4.8.1). They also formalize Contractor’s proposed Deviations, color choices, shop drawings, etc. early enough in the contract time when changes will have less impact on the ordering of materials and products.
4.5.3 Accountability: Contractor is wholly responsible for the contents of a submittal. Contractor by act of submittal certify that all items listed or implied, fully meet the intent, materiality and requirements of the design, quality, and functionality of the CDs. Neither Contractor furnishing nor Government approval of a submittal either suspends or waives Contractor responsibility for full compliance with the CDs. This includes materials, equipment, equipment sizing, performance, etc. The Contractor maintains sole responsibility for providing a fully functional product that meets the intent of this SOW, performs as intended, and adheres to all applicable codes and standards.
4.5.4 Basic Compliance: Comply with all “Material Submittals and Shop Drawings” requirements of the SOW. All submittals must be delivered to the Contracting Officer within twenty-one (21) days of approval of the Work Plan unless otherwise specified by the CO. Failure to deliver all submittals within this time period constitutes basis for the CO to refuse Progress Payments until all submittals are delivered to the CO.
4.5.5 Submittals must be accurate, easily legible, with all detail necessary for a thorough review. Every copy of product data must clearly identify proposed models, options, and relevant design data including physical, functional, and utility connection requirements. Where practicable, render manufacturer data specific to this Project.
4.5.6 Each submittal package and shop drawing sheet must bear the approval signature of the Contractor before delivery to the CO. Each submittal must be attached to a Material Approval Submittal (MAS) Form (AF Form 3000). Upon Government review, one copy of each submittal will be returned with its MAS form marked to indicate approval or disapproval.
4.5.7 Government Review: Contractor must deliver one (1) copy of each submittal. Contractor must allow fourteen (14) days for government review excluding delivery time from and to Contractor.
4.5.8 Submittal Log: Contractor must during the design phase of the project log all construction submittals required by completing a “Schedule of Material Submittals” (AF Form 66). The form must include all submittals necessary to ensure the project is built to the satisfaction of CAFB including shop drawings, manufacturer's literature, product data, certificates of compliance, material samples, finish samples, extensions to the design, guarantees, test results, etc. The CO will provide Contractor with an AF form 66 template. Contractor must complete and submit the AF Form 66 in MS-Excel electronic format and in hard-copy format to the CO for review and approval by the CEPM within fourteen (14) days upon issuance of the NTP. Form 66 will be the first submittal item and must be attached to its own (MAS) form. Place the entire Submittal Log in an appendix of the final specifications.
4.5.9 Proposed Products and Qualified Installers List: Within 28 days after Notice to Proceed is issued, submit list of major products proposed for use, with manufacturer name, trade name, model or catalog number designation, and reference standards (for products specified only by reference standards) of each product.
4.5.10 Material Approval Submittal: The CO will provide Contractor with MAS form template. Each MAS form must be attached to one and only one submittal item. Multiple submittal items on a single MAS form will be rejected without review. The MAS “Submission Number” must be the same as its corresponding “Item No.” in the Submittal Log. Each submittal must reference the specifications paragraph or the drawing sheet number where the submittal is required. Clearly mark an MAS form “DEVIATION” for any whole system or any part thereof to which the Deviation applies. The Deviation must be reviewed by the CEPM.
4.5.11 Re-Submittals: Resubmitted MAS forms must bear the original “submission number” with an alphabetic suffix (sequenced for multiple re-submittals). Identify all changes made since the previous submission. Allow fourteen (14) days for Government review excluding delivery time from and to Contractor.
4.5.12 Materials, Finishes, Patterns, Textures, Colors, etc.: Submit samples of all visible exterior or interior finish items including: surfaces, materials, paint, fixtures, doors and frames, windows, glass, and hardware prior to ordering or installation. Contractor must deliver the full range of available manufacturer samples to the CEPM showing all materials, finishes, patterns, textures and colors available for each item. Submit ALL samples at the same time. Attach to each sample an AF Form 3000 with Opportunity ID Number, Project Name and Submittal Number. The CEPM will make selections and will keep one sample of each item submitted. Any non-compliance with this paragraph voids any selection regardless of CEPM approval to the contrary. Samples must be the actual material, or actual material coatings bonded to the actual backup material that will be installed. Submittals with false or approximate material or color renderings may be rejected. Sample sizes must be sufficient for the CAFB to perceive true colors and patterns. If a submitted material does not meet the design objectives, CAFB reserves the right to reject the product and require a new submittal. The CEPM decision in this regard will be final.
4.5.13 Certifications: Submit all Contractor, subcontractor, fabricator, and manufacturer certifications for review and, if acceptable, approval by the Government. Denote the specified requirements met or exceeded by the certified element provided whether material, construction system, portion of work, product, equipment, etc. Include supporting references, data, affidavits, certificates, etc. Certifications may be recent or previous test results on the same provided element, but must be acceptable to Government.
