1.1 SUMMARY OF WORK: Furnish all plant, equipment, supervision, labor, supplies, services, and materials required to accomplish the work indicated in these specifications, the related drawings and as otherwise set forth in the contract.

1.2 SUMMARY OF PROJECT: The project consists essentially of, but is not limited to, the construction of airfield and heavy duty asphalt and concrete pavements, including demolition and removal of same, and other miscellaneous appurtenances. Heavy duty pavements can be located on the airfield or off the airfield on the base side where conditions warrant. Examples of heavy duty pavement activities include, but are not limited to, large piping projects, crack and seating of concrete, large paving projects and base-wide striping projects.

1.3 WORK SCHEDULE:

1.3.1 Work shall be performed between 7:30 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. daily, Monday through Friday, excluding federal legal holidays as outlined by Public Law Number 98-144 (or days not worked on Dover Air Force Base due to the observance of such holidays). Unless otherwise specifically authorized herein or in writing by the Contracting Officer, the scheduling of work for times other than as set forth above, is not permitted.

1.3.2 Power outages, limited utility interruptions for hookups, and street/parking lot closures will be permitted in accordance with a previously arranged schedule. The Contractor is responsible for notifying and coordinating all outages and closures with the Base Civil Engineer Project Management Section at least two weeks in advance of the intended outage.

1.4 WORK CLEARANCE REQUEST FOR EARTHWORK:

1.4.1 Approval of an AF Form 103, Work Clearance Request, is required to be obtained from the Government prior to initiating any ground disturbing activity on the site. The contractor shall follow the procedure as indicated below.

1.4.1.1 The contractor shall submit to the Government Inspector the Work Clearance Request no earlier than 10 and no later than 7 working days prior to any proposed ground disturbing activity. The contractor shall obtain from the Government Inspector a blank copy of the Work Clearance Request and shall complete the form with the necessary information.

1.4.1.2 The contractor shall contact Miss Utility and obtain a Miss Utility Ticket Number and include that information on the submitted form. The Government Inspector will provide the contractor with the Miss Utility grid map page number, grid coordinates, and nearest intersection information.

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the contractor to coordinate with, and obtain clearance from, Miss Utility (phone 1-800-282-8555) for utility services not owned by Dover AFB (i.e. Chesapeake Utility’s steel gas lines, Verizon communication lines, Comcast Cablevision lines, and Kent County sanitary sewer lines). Call Miss Utility prior to submitting the request to the Government Inspector. Adequately describe the exact location and type of excavation work involved to Miss Utility in lieu of, perhaps, just the job title. The Government process makes this communication solely the responsibility of the contractor.

Project Number: 111099 Contract Number:

01000 - 2

1.4.1.3 The contractor shall submit the completed form to the Government Inspector for processing within Base Civil Engineering for Government owned utilities. The contractor shall return the completed form along with an 8.5” x 11” site map showing limits of proposed excavation and the surrounding existing facilities to the Government Inspector. The Government Inspector will notify the contractor when the Work Clearance Request has been approved and is ready to be picked-up.

1.4.1.4 The contractor shall mark proposed excavation locations in the field in white paint prior to submission of the Work Clearance Request. Paint markings must be within 18 inches of the proposed excavation. If the location of excavation changes the Work Clearance Request process for the new locations must be reaccomplished and reapproved. The contractor is responsible for protecting the utility markings made by the Government and/or Miss Utility. If the utility markings disappear or become unreadable, all work will stop until all remarking has been accomplished. Remarking may require collection of remarking cost to be paid by the contractor. A new Work Clearance Request must be processed to obtain new markings. The contracror may wish to submit Work Clearance Requests incrementally depending upon the extent of site work in order to avoid having to resubmit or maintain multiple markings. Dover Air Force Base issued Work Clearance Requests will expire 30 days after approval. Contractor shall comply with all Miss Utility permit renewal requirements.

1.4.1.5 In the event any damage occurs to a utility, notify the Government Inspector immediately.

The Contractor shall coordinate the work of subcontractors and shall ensure the coordination of the work between the various trades. In many instances the contract drawings indicate only the general location and arrangement of equipment, fixtures, piping, conduit, or outlets and may not in all cases show, identify or detail all materials or components that are necessary, usual and customary for proper installation, connection or attachment.

The Contractor shall study, examine and evaluate the contract drawings to establish the work, coordination, or materials required and necessary to provide a product complete in the usual and

Project Number: 111099 Contract Number:

01000 - 3 customary manner, and shall provide for all such requirements as though expressly detailed herein or on the drawings.

1.8.2.1 Restricted Area (RA). The contractor shall implement and comply with all local base procedures and those contained in AFI 31-101. The contractor will use one of the following methods to gain access and perform project work in the RA:

1.8.2.1.1 Unescorted Entry. This method of entry is the most preferred in which all the contractor’s work force personnel possess a valid RA Badge (Entry Control Card). The contractor must make every effort to obtain RA Badges (RAB) for all his personnel that will work in the RA. Suitability determinations are in accordance with AFI 31-501. The RAB will be prominently displayed at all times while working in the RA.

1.8.2.1.2 Escorted Entry. Contractor personnel possessing a RAB may escort other members of the work force that do not possess a RAB. Escorts are fully responsible for the whereabouts and actions of the individuals they are escorting. This method of entry is intended for smaller projects with limited elements of work and the escort may perform work so long as they can maintain positive surveillance and control of individuals they are escorting at all times.

1.8.2.1.3 Free Zone Monitors. On large projects where it is not practical or possible for the contractor to use the 2 above methods of entry (due to large area worked, large work force, use of subcontractors and delivery truck drivers without badges, etc.) the contractor will request a Free Zone and haul route be established, and will provide full time personnel with RAB to monitor the boundaries of these areas.

These monitors are referred to as Immediate Visual Assessment (IVA) monitors and will read and comply with procedures for performing this task. The IVA will checkout a Government radio from SFS and maintain radio contact with SFS at all times. The IVA will be equipped with a vehicle and cell phone provided by the contractor. Since the IVA’s sole responsibility will be to monitor boundaries

1.8.3.2 All contactor employees who’ll be granted unescorted access to the installation are required to consent to a Criminal Background Investigation (CBI) prior to being granted entry to the installation.

Continued employment is contingent upon successful completion and favorable reporting of the criminal background check.

1.8.3.3 Contractor badges will be issued for a maximum period of one year. Prior to reissuing new badges, all old badges must be returned to Pass and Registration for destruction. Also before a new badge will be issued an ORM must be resubmitted to the Pass and Registration section for approval again. In the event a badge is lost or stolen, the badge holder must accomplish the Loss/Theft of Identification Worksheet and provide it to his/her supervisor. The supervisor of the contractor will investigate the loss and report in writing the circumstances in which the badge was lost to the 436th Contracting Squadron and 436th Security Forces Squadron and submit a new request for badge renewal per paragraph 1.9.2.1. before a new badge can be reissued.
