SECTION 01 11 00 - SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 – GENERAL

SCOPE OF WORK: These Contract Documents cover the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Alaskan Region hereinafter referred to as the Government, for the work associated with the Fairbanks Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) Upgrades, located at 3811 University Avenue South, Fairbanks, Alaska 99709.

The work is at a FAA NAS critical facility. The Contractor must not interfere with or disrupt air traffic operations. The work shall not damage other equipment at the facility or the facility itself. Any damage to the facility, to include building interior and exterior landscaping, parking, and sidewalks must be repaired at Contractor expense.

Some work will be required to be performed during non-peak traffic hours. This may require night work.

The COR (Contract Officer Representative) is the point of contact for this coordination.

Air Traffic operations will take precedent over the Contractor’s request for system outages, and must be coordinated and approved prior to commencing work.

1.1 SUMMARY OF WORK: The work to be performed at the Fairbanks AFSS consists of two subprojects. Although discussed separately they will be constructed simultaneously.

A. The first is the replacement of the AFSS’s existing Head Bolt Heater System. This will involve demolition of the existing system and installation of the new. Work will be conducted inside the facility, installing new conductors and conduits to feed the new Panel Boards. Outside new underground conduits will feed new pedestals for the HBOs (Headbolt Outlets). The existing system will be demoed, requiring paint and patching.

As the facility will remain in service during all phases of this project safety for all personnel and visitors is required and must be maintained at all times. Work will be conducted in two phases, allowing use of one of two parking areas during construction.

The Contractor shall be responsible for off-site disposal of debris in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

B.

B. The second task is an upgrade to the facility power feeds to the lighting system outside.

Over the years the conduit integrity has been compromised requiring the replacement of the underground conduits and conductors. This work in conjunction with the HBO portion will require the same level of safety. A previous project installed the new light poles and LED light fixtures, this project will install new conduit and conductors to feed the existing and new fixtures.

The Contractor shall be responsible for off-site disposal of debris in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

1.3 INTENT OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. These Contract Documents (specifications and drawings) indicate the work to be performed for the project. All material, labor, equipment, tools, layout, and supervision must be furnished by the Contractor to complete the work and provide complete operating systems. The Contractor is responsible for the supervision, health and safety, inspection, and quality control of its own work, workers, work areas, and lower tiered subcontractors, and providing safe access to the facility for staff and visitors. Work shall be performed to ICC, NFPA, NEC, and FAA codes and standards, and manufacturers’ recommendations. All work performed and all materials and equipment used will be subject to approval by the Contracting Officer. This must include, but not be limited to, construction, testing, inspection, scheduling, reporting, and submittals.

B. Titles: Titles to divisions and sections of the specifications and notes and titles on drawings referring to subcontractors, division of work by trade, or type of work are used for convenience and do not imply any separate contractual arrangements of work assignments. Such separations into titles, divisions, sections, or notes should not be construed to establish limits between the Contractor and its subcontractors.

C. Reference to known standards within the Contract Documents means the latest edition in effect on the date of solicitation, unless specified otherwise.

D. Where Contract Documents refer to “Related Work in Other Sections” or “Related Requirements”, the Contractor should not consider the list of specification divisions/sections to be all-inclusive. These lists are provided as a convenience for cross-reference and coordination.

1.4 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Copies of Specifications and Drawings: Two (2) hard copy sets and one (1) electronic set of the Contract Documents will be furnished to the Contractor without charge, with the exception of applicable publications incorporated into the technical specifications by reference.

B. Specification and Drawing Review: The Contractor is responsible for complete knowledge and understanding of the Contract Documents throughout the life of the Contract. The Contractor must check the Contract Documents immediately upon their receipt and promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any discrepancies. Generally, the specifications take precedence over the drawings. Figures marked on drawings should be

SUMMARY OF WORK 01 11 00 - 3

followed in preference to scale measurements. Large scale drawings should govern small scale drawings. The Contractor should not use dimensions scaled from the drawings. All dimensions shown on the drawings must be verified by the Contractor by actual measurement in the field. Any discrepancies between the drawings and specifications and the existing conditions must be referred to the Contracting Officer for resolution before any work affected is performed. The Contractor must compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work and will be responsible for any errors which might have been avoided thereby.

C. Contracting Officer: The Contracting Officer (CO) is the person designated to act on behalf of the Government in the performance of this contract. The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) is the Contracting Officer’s authorized representative.

1.5 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

A. The contract price constitutes full compensation for furnishing all plant, labor, materials, appurtenances, and incidentals, and performing all operations necessary to construct and complete the items in accordance with these Contract Documents. Payment for each item will be considered as full compensation, notwithstanding that minor features may not be mentioned herein. No separate payment will be made for the work, services, or operations required by the Contractor, as specified in Division 1 General Requirements, to complete the project in accordance with these specifications; all costs thereof will be considered as incidental to the work.

B. Schedule of Values: The Contractor must submit a draft Schedule of Values (SOV) within seven (7) days of the award; and, upon receipt of comments, make revisions and issue a final SOV prior to the preconstruction conference. The SOV must be linked to the construction schedule and be separated into a hierarchical grouping using the divisions and sections listed in these specifications.

C. The SOV must have a summary showing the whole project totals, each separate division’s subtotals, and then each section within each division’s subtotals. The SOV summary must have columns listing the amounts of payments received, current payment requested, and amount still remaining on the contract for each hierarchical subdivision.

D. The SOV must also have a detailed schedule further subdivided into the scopes of work within each section, as determined by the Contractor. The detailed schedule must include columns listing, for each scope of work within a division: the amounts of payments received, current payment requested, and amount still remaining on the contract. The header of each detailed section break-down must include the hierarchical division and section names from the summary. The footer of each detailed section must contain the subtotal amounts matching those in the summary. The detailed breakdown amounts must add up to the summary amounts in each column.

WORK RESTRICTIONS 01 14 00 - 1

SECTION 01 14 00 – WORK RESTRICTIONS

PART 1 - CONDUCT OF WORK

1.1 COORDINATION AND ACCESS TO SITE

A. The work is at a critical facility. The Contractor must not interfere with or disrupt air traffic operations. The work shall not discharge static electricity, damage, or interfere with equipment at the facility.

B. General Area Requirements: The Contractor must confine operations, activities, storage of materials, and employee parking within the project boundaries and the approved staging and loading/unloading areas. Any additional space the Contractor deems necessary must be submitted to the COR for review and approval, or be obtained off site, at no additional cost to the Government.

C. Security Requirements: The interior of the building past the public entrance reception lobby is restricted entry and no compromise of the security system in any nature or of any duration may be made without prior approval of the Contracting Officer. Generally, such compromises, when approved, will be less than 24 hours in duration.

D. Facility Access Badges: A temporary access badge is required for each person to access the interior of the building past the public entrance reception lobby. There are two types of temporary access badges available for the Contractor: a security badge, which requires a background check and grants escort privileges, and a visitor's badge, which does not require a background check but requires being escorted while on site. The security badge will be limited in number and is intended for a few lead persons who will routinely be on site supervising the work and escorting their workers, subcontractors, and vendors. The visitor's badge is intended for non-supervisory crew members, delivery drivers, and other support or occasional personnel, who must be escorted while on site. Badges must be worn by all people in plain sight at all times while on site.

1. Security Badge: In order to conduct work on site, the contractor must obtain security clearances and security badges for the lead project personnel. The estimated amount of time necessary to fill in the security clearance application at a FAA Facility in Fairbanks, along with taking a photo and fingerprints, is approximately eight hours for each applicant. After the security clearance application is submitted to the FAA, it may take up to three weeks to process the application and approve the person for security badging. Personnel without security badges will not be allowed to work on site unless they are escorted by badged contractor personnel with escort privileges, or by badged FAA personnel with escort privileges. Delays caused by the unavailability of FAA personnel for escort of contractor personnel will not be grounds for project cost or schedule adjustments. The Contractor must ensure that all Government issued security badges are returned to the Contracting Officer prior to final acceptance of the project.

2. Visitor Badges: Each work day, the Contractor will be responsible for ensuring that all Contractor personnel, upon entering the premises, present proper identification and

WORK RESTRICTIONS 01 14 00 - 2

receive a Government visitor badge from the Facility Security Office and wear the badge in sight when on the premises. The visitor badges are generally issued for up to one day, as determined by the Facility Security Office. The Contractor must ensure that the badges are turned in when they leave the site, or at the end of the day or specified period, and upon termination or completion of the employee’s work on the project. Prior to commencement of work, the Contractor must provide the Contracting Officer with a list of names of all personnel who will be working at the site, in alphabetical order, with their trades, and their company's names. The Contractor must revise the list as required to remain current. Prior to receiving their badges, all Contractor personnel must attend a security briefing, up to one hour in length, to be conducted on site by the COR. Contractor personnel will not be permitted to enter the building without a badge.

E. Contractor’s personnel must not violate any security regulations pertaining to the facility.

The Contracting Officer has the authority to remove anyone from the site, including anyone who is determined to be a security risk. This authority extends to the entire complex, not just the buildings.

F. The Government has the right to search anything or anyone on the facility. If, in the judgment of facility personnel, there is a cause to search a vehicle, container, or person.

G. Contractor Deliveries: The Contractor will be responsible for arranging site access for periodic or unscheduled Contractor deliveries. Deliveries must coordinated with the COR, prior to the delivery. The Contractor assumes complete liability for the actions of delivery vehicles while on site.

The Contractor must protect interior finishes, WORK RESTRICTIONS 01 14 00 - 3 equipment and furniture from dust, dirt, water and physical damage. Carpets must be protected by suitable carpet film during interior work.

3. When working in interior spaces, carefully cover desks, counters, consoles and furniture with poly sheeting or canvas drop clothes. Insure protective covering of electronic equipment in racks and counsels will not impede adequate flow of cooling air.

4. The Contractor must monitor the effectiveness of dust control measures and insure covered equipment does not overheat.

5. The Contractor will coordinate with the COR at daily and weekly meetings for office access to allow occupants to remove and relocated personal items prior construction activities.

6. The Contractor must maintain their work areas at least as follows:

a. Daily clean-up of all rubbish and waste, including removal of tools, equipment, and materials not required for the work in progress.

b. Wipe down and vacuum interior spaces disturbed during construction at the end of each shift using HEPA filter equipped vacuums and dust clothes.

c. Final inspection cleaning.

d. Final cleaning at the completion of work.

e. Exterior hazards shall be clearly marked, defined and boundaries placed to prevent injury.

g. Loose debris must be secured or properly deposed.

h. Work site shall be maintained in an orderly fashion.

7. The Contractor must provide and maintain cleaning supplies and equipment, such as rags, brooms, buckets, mops, and vacuums, throughout the duration of the project, including for immediate cleanup of dust and spills.

8. The Contractor must provide and maintain containers on site for the collection of waste materials, debris, and rubbish. The Contractor must store volatile waste in OSHA compliant metal containers for fire protection. Use of the Government's existing trash containers on site for the work is prohibited.

9. The Contractor must haul all project waste off site for proper disposal. Burning or burying waste on site is prohibited. Disposal of volatile, harmful, or dangerous materials on the ground or in storm or sanitary sewer systems or drainages is prohibited. Disposal of all debris and waste must comply with applicable laws and regulations. The Contractor assumes all liability for proper waste disposal.

L. Staging and parking: The Contractor’s staging area is limited to the areas designated by the facility management. This will be reviewed and agreed on prior to site mobilization.

WORK RESTRICTIONS 01 14 00 - 4

The Contractor is responsible for providing temporary security fencing of their staging area if desired. See Section 01 50 00 Temporary Facilities and Controls.

M. Special Tool Restrictions: Powder-driven fasteners, tools, and devices are not allowed on facility property, with no exceptions.

N. Outages: The Contractor must request in writing and coordinate any mechanical or electrical outage at least three working days in advance with the COR. Outages must be kept to a minimum. Outages could require the Contractor to work during other than normal hours at no additional cost to the Government.

1. The FAA will turn off, lock out, and tag out systems, not the Contractor. The Contractor shall positively verify de-energization before working on individual systems in accordance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.47, The Control of Hazardous Energy (lockout/tagout).

O. The Contractor must provide safety cones, barricades, and flag off exclusion areas, such as overhead work, open trenches or around openings.

P. Testing: The Contractor must notify the COR in writing at least three working days in advance of any testing.

1.2 SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS

A. Damage to the Site: Damage caused by the Contractor's activities to existing facility paving, lawns, curbs, sidewalks, utilities, building interior and exterior finishes, equipment and furniture must be repaired or replaced by the Contractor. After the Notice to Proceed and prior to the start of construction, the Contractor and COR must conduct joint inspections of the existing areas affected by the construction. Existing site damage/defects in these areas must be noted by the Contractor in writing and photographed and will be used as the basis for determination of any damages caused by the Contractor's operations.
