Estimated energy production shall be provided for each month of the year and total for the year in kWh. Estimate energy production on a twenty year basis. Provide a power curve for wind speed for the turbine.

Drawings, Specifications as applicable, Copies of all approvals and permits including those from the local utility provider, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and local, state and Federal Government agencies as applicable.

design submission. The “For Construction” documents shall incorporate all corrections from the “Construction Ready” submittal review comments.

Submittals for Review

For the submissions identified above the design-build contractor shall submit to the Department of Labor for review four (4) sets of drawings and project documents (drawings shall consist of two full-size sets and two half-size sets), as well as three (3) sets of design calculations at the “Construction Ready” stage . One (1) set of drawings at the interim progress and “Construction Ready” design stage shall be submitted to the Job Corps Data Center.

Each submittal of drawings shall be incorporated into an AutoCAD (version 14 or later) compatible electronic format on compact disc and be delivered to DOL by the design-build contractor in addition to the project documents/specification sets required.

Complete project documents shall also be furnished on a compact disc in electronic format that is Microsoft Word compatible.

The design-build contractor is required to maintain the design-build schedule per the contract, and must indicate to the Department of Labor ways and means to recover lost time due to delays. No additional time will be given to the design-build contractor unless it is determined by DOL that the delay is legitimate and unavoidable and that the design-build contractor has prudently exercised all options within its authority and ability to avert such delays.

The design-build contractor will be responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and adherence to the requirements of the scope of work, for all plan submittals, and for all required permit applications and acquisitions required under this contract.

DOL will perform review of the required submissions. The review will be limited to project constructability (e.g. site problems, existing obstructions or proposed utilities, proposed contract time for construction, omissions, discrepancies, known issues that have occurred at the site or with projects of similar scopes, phasing, and coordination problems that could lead to construction difficulties), design (conformance to the negotiated scope of work) and construction quality control procedures.

Unless otherwise stated, review comments and concurrence with the required submissions do not revise the scope or intent of the project and do not constitute a request for change beyond the negotiated scope of work. In the event DOL determines that any required submission is incomplete which precludes a meaningful review, or does not adhere to the scope of work, DOL will advise the design-build contractor of the shortcomings and direct the design-build contractor to revise and resubmit the plan. No time extension or price increase will be granted as a result of such action. In the event the design-build contractor

CHADRON, OREGON

believes that any review comment requires a change to the scope of agreed work, the design-build contractor shall first consult the DOL for clarification, and shall, within 10 days of receipt of the comments provide written notice to the Contracting Officer concerning the reasons why the design-build contractor believes the scope has been changed.

Following concurrence of the design documentation at the “Construction Ready” stage(s), the design-build contractor shall prepare plan sets for use during construction. All review comments shall be resolved in writing by the design-build contractor to the satisfaction of the DOL before the design-build contractor delivers the “For Construction” submittal.

Each drawing sheet shall have its last revised date noted on the sheet and clearly marked “Approved for Construction”
