5.5. Communications Utilities (Telephone, Fiber Optic, Cable T.V.). The contractor shall not disturb communication wiring to facilities. Where such facilities require removal of existing, reconfiguration of existing, and/or installation of new communication equipment and wiring to accomplish the work involved, the contractor shall coordinate with the Communications Squadron prior to actual work, to determine the scope of effort and gain authority from the Communications Squadron to work on communications systems. The contractor shall allow for the accomplishment of such removals by the telephone company or communications personnel for the systems they service. If construction activities damage communication equipment or wiring, the contractor shall restore services as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours, and at no cost to the government.

5.6. Excavating Around or Locating Existing Utilities. Prior to the start of work, the contractor shall identify and locate all valve or utility shut-off locations for use in the event of accidental damage. To preclude accidental damage, the contractor shall locate all known utilities (i.e., communication, natural gas, fuel supply, water, power, etc.) by hand digging or hydro-excavating prior to any excavation with other power equipment. The contractor shall note any utilities discovered during excavations that are missing or incorrectly represented on the AF Form 103 and it’s attachments, the contract drawings (including any erroneous

01000 - 6 of 58 JFSD200143 & JFSD949951 dimensions on government record drawings), or those utilities staked by the user; and clearly identify those discoveries on project as-built drawings.

5.7. Existing Utilities/Job Site Verification. Record drawings (as-builts) showing existing facilities and underground utilities are available to the contractor through the Base Civil Engineer Drafting Office, and Operations Customer Service. The government does not guarantee the accuracy or adequacy of existing as-built/record drawings. The contractor is responsible for field verifying all dimensions and actual conditions when developing individual delivery order proposals. Failure to verify the dimensions and locations will be at the contractor’s risk and shall not relieve the contractor from accomplishing the work required by the contract at the price awarded by the government. The contractor shall immediately repair any utility lines shown on a record drawing (or made known to the contractor via ground marking) and damaged during construction work at no cost to the government. Prior to digging, the contractor shall review available drawings and located utilities to determine if all utilities on the drawings have been located. Should the drawings indicate the existence of an underground utility, but there are no markings to indicate the utility has been located, the contractor shall verify all locates are completed prior to below grade excavations.

6. FIRE REGULATIONS: Compliance with local, Air Force, and NFPA 241 (Safeguarding Building

Construction and Building Operation) regulations are mandatory.
