FA440718R0002

Attachment 14 http://tsc.wes.army.mil/products/TSSDS-TSFMS/tssds/html/

SECTION 01 01 00 - Page 4

Geospatial data must be delivered in a georeferenced GIS (Geographic Information System) format (feature-based file structures including one-to-one cardinality between spatial records and attribute records) including attribute data and as specifically outlined in the specific task order contract. All geospatial data must be delivered in the North American Datum 1983

(NAD83) projection, State Plane Coordinate System, using metric coordinate units.

Survey Grade Global Position Systems (GPS) or comparable traditional survey methods will be used to collect geospatial data (e.g., northing, easting, and elevation above or below the

Earth’s surface) for all contract activities where geospatial data is involved. This data will be obtained at the time of construction and prior to burial in the case of underground utilities.

This data must be delivered to the installation in an open Relational Database Management

System (RDBMS) with the associated attribute data. Examples include but are not limited to obtaining precise GPS data for new waterline endpoints, connections, and connected valves prior to burial.

All work installed without the contractor's superintendent on the project may be subject to removal at the direction of the

Contracting Officer.

INSPECTION The contractor shall obtain the Construction Management Inspector's approval prior to closing walls or performing tests. The request for such approval shall be given with sufficient advance notice to permit an inspection of the area before the work or test is accomplished. The contractor shall be permitted to continue the work or test, in strict conformance with the project drawings and specifications, in the event the Construction

Management Inspector fails to arrive at the project site at the designated time. The

Construction Management Inspector's approval or inspection does not relieve the contractor of compliance with the project drawings and specifications.

CONSTRUCTION PERMIT The Contractor shall obtain an AF Form 103 - Base Civil

Engineer Work Clearance Request (hereafter referred to as a “digging permit”), from the

CEOEP (Civil Engineering, Operations - Planning), Building 530. The purpose of the permit is to locate, prior to excavation, all known underground utilities.

The Contractor shall insure the markings are maintained until the area is cleared by all utilities. The Contractor shall also show the identified area on a site plan. The site plan shall clearly delineate the proposed work area, nearest building, the nearest cross street to the location of digging. The Contractor shall provide this site plan to

CEOEP when requesting the digging permit. In the event that a representative for the

FA440718R0002

SECTION 01 01 00 - Page 5 designated utility does not respond to the locating request, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer. After identified utilities have been cleared through each affected agency or office, the Contractor will receive a copy of the digging permit. The

Excavation: Contractor shall apply for and obtain a Government Excavation Permit (AF

Form 103, Base Civil Engineer Work Clearance Request) prior to any excavation. There is no charge for the permit. The following are the procedures for initiating and obtaining an AF

Form 103 clearance by the Contractor:

Five days before scheduled work, the Contractor must submit dig permit, government furnished AF Form 103, and the working site plan to the Communications Squadron building

176, Plans Flight Office. The area of construction must be marked using white paint, flags or stakes.

The Communications Plans Flight will perform their own clearance review of the construction area and will comment on the AF Form 103 as to when the Government communications lines will be marked. A maximum of three (3) duty days will be allowed for the marking.

The Communications Squadron notifies the Contractor to pick up the coordinated AF Form

103, and bring it to building 343, Civil Engineer Customer Service desk. At this point the person behind the desk will either direct you to the person in charge of the digging permit program or they will take your permit and put it in their IN box. Add an estimated time of 10 working days for the Civil Engineering Shops to complete this process.

The Contractor shall notify Blue Staking for Commercial Communications lines. Blue

Staking will issue a control number that will be annotated on the AF Form 103. The

Contractor shall refer to this number for any further communications with Blue Staking.

Once the dig permit is issued, the Contractor will be authorized to dig up to the Dig

Expiration Date, typically 30 days from issue. It is the Contractor's responsibility to maintain the markings on the construction site, i.e., only approved markings, such as "rooster tails" in landscaped areas will be allowed for Contractor marking of construction.

The Contractor can obtain AF Form 103 from the CEOEP (Civil Engineering Operations-

Planning) located in Building 350 at Scott AFB.

24-HOUR POINT OF CONTACT The Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer with a 24-hour number or numbers where his authorized representative can be contacted anytime day or night.
