The Contracting Officer will consider such cases on an individual basis and grant waivers only in extreme cases. Submit detailed requests with appropriate manufacturer's/supplier's data to show unavoidable noncompliance with the water usage restrictions. In the event a restriction is conditionally waived, use only the minimum amount of water necessary to comply with contract requirements.

Other drivers may be trained through 902 CES/CEOA or by one of the certified individuals mentioned above.

Thoroughly coordinate work with the control tower through the Contracting Officer. Submit projected weekly schedule 7 working days in advance. In the event of a start time for paving has been approved and coordinated, and the contractor does not start; the coordination cycle may require the full 7 days before a new start will be allowed. Maintain radio communication with the tower during work performance. Radios shall be provided by Randolph Air Force Base, by hand receipt and turned in to 902 CES/CEPM by end of project.

All vehicles entering the flightline must enter through an approved entry point & the operator must stop & perform a complete check for FOD (Foreign Object Debris).
