1.5 AS-BUILT DOCUMENTS FOR DESIGN BID BUILD PROJECTS

1.5.1 General

This section covers the completion of final as-built drawings, as a requirement of the contract. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining paper copy working as-built drawings during the construction phase. These paper copy drawings will be used by the Contractor to prepare, maintain and submit the final as-built drawings

1.5.1.1 As-Built Drawings

An as-built drawing is a contract construction drawing revised to reflect the final as-built conditions of the project because of modifications, changes, corrections to the project design required during construction, submittals and extensions of design. The terms "drawings," "contract drawings," "drawing files," "working as-built drawings" and "final as-built drawings" refer to contract drawings that are revised to be used for the

"RECORD DRAWING AS-BUILTS".

1.5.1.2 Government-Furnished Files

a. The Contractor will be provided electronic files at the beginning of construction for use during the construction phase which are to be maintained during construction for the preparation of as-builts. The Contractor shall be responsible to print two full size paper copies.

The Contractor shall enter changes and corrections on two sets of paper full size construction plans on a weekly basis in accordance with Paragraph "Maintenance of Working As-Built Drawings" in this section.

If there are any deviations from the government provided contract drawings then section "b" below applies. If there are no deviations from the government provided contract drawings then section "c" below applies.

b. The Contractor is required to prepare final as-built drawings utilizing the native files provided by the Government. If translation is required, the original design models (BIM or CAD) shall be updated to As-Built conditions and then appropriately translated. Updating translated drawings will not be accepted. The contractor shall update the CAD working as-built drawings, in accordance with paragraph "Maintenance of Working As-Built Drawings", on a quarterly basis and submit them for independent Government review. Both paper and electronic documents shall be available at all times and shall be provided promptly to the Contracting Officer's Representatives when requested. The Contractor shall be responsible for backup of electronic files during construction and for controlling release of information.

1.5.2 Withholding

Maintenance of working as-builts is considered part of the value of the facilities being constructed and will not be paid for as a separate line item.

1.5.2.1 Failure to Maintain

If the Contractor fails to maintain the working as-built drawings as specified herein, the Contracting Officer will deduct from the monthly progress payment an amount up to 10% or which, in the Contracting Officer's judgment, represents the estimated cost of bringing the as-built documents up to date. This monthly deduction will continue until an agreement can be reached between the Contracting Officer and the Contractor regarding the accuracy and completeness of working as-built documents. This includes conversion of submittals and other miscellaneous documents.

1.5.3 Maintenance of Working As-Built Drawings

The Contractor shall revise two (2) sets of paper drawings by red-line process to show the as-built conditions during the prosecution of the project. These as-built marked drawings shall be kept current on a weekly basis and available on the jobsite at all times. Changes in the work from the contract or additional information which is uncovered in the course of construction shall be accurately and neatly recorded as they occur by means of details and notes. Changes must be reflected on all sheets that the change affects. The working as-built marked drawings will be jointly reviewed for accuracy and completeness by the Contracting Officer and the Contractor before submission of each monthly pay estimate. The working as-built drawings shall show the following information if applicable to the project, but not be limited thereto:

a. Connection details (anchors, bolts, or connecting steel members) and/or locations of connections if any changes were made from the government provided contract plans.

b. Changes or modifications which result from the final inspection.

1.5.4 Preparation of Final As-Built Drawings

The contract drawings shall be modified as may be necessary to correctly show the features of the project as it has been constructed by bringing the contract drawings into agreement with approved working as-built drawings, adding such additional drawings as may be necessary.

These final as-built drawings are part of the permanent records of the project and the Contractor shall be responsible for the protection and safety thereof until returned to the Contracting Officer. Any drawings damaged or lost by the Contractor shall be satisfactorily replaced by the Contractor at no expense to the Government.

When electronic CAD files are a part of the as-built process, a set of files shall be provided to the Government as a part of the Final As-Built submittal for a review to verify the correctness of the as-built markups and that all changes have been incorporated into the electronic files.

Should errors be determined, the Contractor shall update the files and provide a corrected set of files within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of comments. An independent Government review, by the Louisville district As-Built Coordinator (CELRL-CDM-Q), will be made on the accepted

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 06 Page 6 files to determine compliance with the As-Built requirements of this section, National CAD Standards, and the AEC CAD Standards; and to verify graphic changes were done properly in preparing the electronic files. This review will require submission of electronic files, containing all the files needed to reproduce the contract drawings, a full size set of contract drawings in PDF format, all shop drawings in PDF format, a scanned set of the paper markups and the paper markups. Upon receipt of any comments from this independent review, the contractor shall update the electronic files and provide a corrected set of files within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the comments.

1.5.5 Markings and Indicators

Changes shall be annotated in accordance with ERDC/ITL TR-12-1 "A/E/C Graphics Standard_Release 2.0" at the following locations:

a. Bottom of the revised detail.

b. Right hand and bottom border aligned with the revised detail.

c. The revision block of the title block.

1.5.7 Submittal of Final As-Built Documents

Within fourteen (14) calendar days of Final Acceptance meeting of the project, Final As-Built documents shall be provided to the Contracting Officer in the formats described in paragraph "Electronic File Use". The final as-built document submittal shall also include the approved preliminary paper working as-built drawings.

1.5.8 Electronic File Use

Only personnel proficient in the preparation of CAD drawings shall be employed to modify the electronic contract drawings or prepare additional new electronic drawings. Additions and corrections to the contract drawings shall be equal in quality to that of the originals. Line work, line weights, lettering, layering conventions, and symbols shall be the same as the original line work, line weights, lettering, layering conventions, and symbols. If additional drawings are required, they shall be prepared using the specified electronic file format applying the same guidance specified for original drawings. Three dimensional (3D) elements shall be placed in files in their proper locations when using 3D files with spatially correct elements. If the Designer of Record used a different software than that requested by the Using Agency, the Designer of Record's files will be used for as-built purposes and then translated and/or exported, by the Contractor, to the Using Agency's system. The title block and drawing border to be used for any new final as-built drawings shall be identical to that used on the contract drawings. Additions and corrections to the contract drawings shall be accomplished using CAD media files supplied by the Government. All work by the Contractor shall be done on files in the format in which they are provided. Translation of files to a different

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 06 Page 7 format, for the purpose of As-Built production, and then retranslating back to the format originally provided, will not be acceptable. The original electronic files provided by the Government will be provided in the format compatible with the Using Agency. The Using Agency uses Revit 2020. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing all program files and hardware necessary to prepare final as-built drawings. The Contracting Officer will review final as-built drawings for accuracy and the Contractor shall make all required corrections, changes, additions, and deletions.

a. When final revisions have been completed, the cover sheet drawing shall show the wording "RECORD DRAWING AS-BUILT" followed by the name of the Contractor in letters at least 5 mm 3/16 inch high. All other contract drawings shall be marked in the bottom right-hand corner of each drawing either "AS-BUILT" drawing denoting no revisions on the sheet, or "REVISED AS-BUILT" denoting one or more revisions. As-Built drawings shall be dated with the Contract Completion Date in the revision block.

b. After receipt by the Contractor of the approved working as-built drawings and the original contract drawings files the Contractor shall, within sixty (60) calendar days, make the final as-built submittal.

This submittal shall consist of 2 sets of completed final as-built drawings on separate media consisting of both CAD files (compatible with the Using Agency's system on electronic storage media identical to that supplied by the Government) and a full size set in PDF format and the return of the approved marked up working as-built drawings. They shall be complete in all details and identical in form and function to the contract drawing files supplied by the Government. Any translations or adjustments necessary to accomplish this are the responsibility of the Contractor. The Government reserves the right to reject any drawing files it deems incompatible with its CAD system. All paper drawings, drawing files and storage media submitted will become the property of the Government upon final approval. Failure to submit final as-built drawing files and marked drawings as specified shall be cause for withholding any payment due the Contractor under this contract.

Approval and acceptance of final as-built drawings shall be accomplished before final payment is made to the Contractor.

1.5.9 Payment

No separate payment will be made for as-built drawings required under this contract, and all costs in conjunction therewith, shall be considered a subsidiary obligation of the contractor.

1.6 AVAILABILITY OF UTILITIES

1.23 CONSTRUCTION HAZARD COMMUNICATION

The Contractor is required to comply with the requirements of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard in alignment with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) (29 CFR 1926.59). This standard is designed to inform workers

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 06 Page 16 of safe and appropriate methods of working with hazardous substances in the workplace. The standard has five requirements, and every hazardous or potentially hazardous substance used or stored in the work area is subject to all five. They are:

(1) Hazard Classification. Any company which produces or imports a chemical or compound must conduct a hazard classification of the substance to determine its potential health or physical hazard. The hazard evaluation consists of an investigation of all the available scientific evidence about the substance. The Contractor is required to assure that all producers (manufacturer/distributors) have performed these classifications and transmit the required information with any hazardous materials being used or stored on the project site. From the hazard classification, a substance may be classified as a health hazard or a physical hazard. These classifications are then further broken down into hazard categories according to the severity of the effect:

Health Hazards Physical Hazards

Carcinogens Combustible liquids

Irritants Compressed gases

Sensitizers Explosives

Corrosives Flammables

Toxic substances Organic peroxides

Highly toxic substances Unstable substances

Substances harmful to specific organs or parts of the body

Water-reactive substances

(2) Warning Labels. If a chemical is hazardous or potentially hazardous, the producer or importer must affix a label to every container of that chemical before it leaves his facility. The Contractor must assure these labels are attached and legible. The label must identify the hazard symbol/pictograms, signal words, hazard statements, product name or identifier (identify hazardous ingredients, where appropriate), precautionary statements and pictograms, supplier identification, and supplemental information. If the hazardous substance is transferred to another container, that container must then be labeled, tagged, or marked with the name of the chemical and the appropriate hazard warning. Warning labels should be replaced immediately if they are defaced or removed.

(3) Safety Data Sheets. The producer or importer must also supply a safety data sheet (SDS) that follows the 16 heading format as defined by GHS. The Contractor must keep these available in the work area where the substance is used, so that the people using the substance can easily review important safety and health information, such as:

DOCUMENT 00 80 00.00 06 Page 17

(i) Emergency procedures for leaks, spills, fire and first aid.

(ii) Precautions necessary for use, handling, and storage.

(iii) Useful facts about the substance's physical or chemical properties.

(iv) Regulatory information and any other pertinent information including information on preparation and revision of the SDS.

(4) Work Area Specific Training. Because of hazardous substance may react differently depending on how it is used or the environment of the work area, the Contractor must conduct work area specific training;

special training which takes the Contractor's operations, environment, and work policies into consideration. Work area training presents:

The hazardous substances which are present in the work place and the hazards they pose.

Ways to protect against those hazards, such as protective equipment, emergency procedures, and safe handling.

Where the SDS's are kept, and an explanation of the labeling system.

Where the Contractor's written Hazard Communication Program is located.

(5) The Written Hazard Communication Program. In accordance with OSHA and the EM 385-1-1 requirements, the Contractor must prepare a written Hazard Communication Program. This document will be included in the Contractor's Accident Prevention Plan. This document states the hazardous or toxic agent inventory, how the Contractor plans to ensure that hazardous materials are appropriately labeled, how and where SDS's will be maintained, and how employees will be provided with specific information and training.
