3. BASE CIVIL ENGINEERING WORK CLEARANCE REQUEST: Prior to any work activity, the contractor shall initiate, prepare, and personally hand carry through an AF Form 103, Work Clearance Request. The Base Civil Engineering Work Clearance Request must be approved by the Chief of Operations, building 418. Existing utility lines to remain in place, both Government-owned and private or leased, shall be protected from damage during excavation and backfilling. If damaged, lines shall be repaired in a timely manner by the contractor at no expense to the Government. A minimum of 72 hours should be allowed for agency response to contractor requests for identifying and marking buried utility line routes. The quality assurance (QA) inspector will assist the contractor by providing points of contact, however, the sole responsibility for executing the digging permit and coordinating utility markings with the Civil Engineer shops/private utility companies is that of the contractor. The contractor shall provide drawings and details showing the exact location and description of the intended type of excavation. The contractor shall also stake and define the boundaries of all required utility locates. The contractor shall allow ten (10) working days for processing the digging permit between the various activities that must coordinate on the request.

The contractor shall provide the QA Inspector with a copy of the completed AF Form 103 and shall maintain the coordinated AF Form 103 at the job trailer. The contractor shall comply with all instructions for hand excavation and other methods of safeguarding the buried utilities. The contractor shall promptly repair any damage created by his/her work force or subcontractors to items indicated on the contract drawings or identified by the coordinating agencies, back to its original working condition. The contractor should take caution at the five (5) foot mark on any side of a utility pre-identified to the contractor. Mechanical digging shall not commence, within 5 ft of buried utility lines, until locations of those lines have been established and properly verified by hand digging. If the contractor damages the marked utility within this area, he/she is responsible for replacing the utility back to its original working condition. Work to repair the damaged utility will commence immediately and will continue uninterrupted until the utility is restored. If the contractor damages a utility that was not identified or is outside 5 feet either side of the utility marking, the contractor shall notify the CO and the QA inspector to determine the method of repair (i.e., in-house or by contract). If the damaged utility requires an outside source (e.g., someone to repair fiber optic lines) to accomplish the repairs, and the contractor is responsible for the damage, and the contractor shall be liable to pay for such repairs.

4. INTERRUPTION TO UTILITIES: Shall (Electric, gas, water, heat, sewer, traffic, telephone, etc.,) be coordinated 10 days prior to start. The contractor shall provide an estimate of time duration to complete the task to the Contracting Officer.
