International Conference of Building Officials has established the basic building code standards for 2.10.

construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance. These standards, commonly referred to as the International Building Code (IBC), together with the Unified Facilities Criteria UFC 1-200-01 found at http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/DOD/UFC/ufc_1_200_01.pdf (dated 1 July 2013) shall constitute the minimum acceptable levels of construction, function, and safety for all projects.

3. STANDARD TESTS, QUALITY, AND GUARANTEES:

system shall be made by the contractor.

All articles, supplies and equipment, parts, and assemblies thereof, of standard manufacturers or for 3.2.

which design requirements are not prescribed by these specifications shall be guaranteed against any failure in the proper use or operation caused by defective material, workmanship, or design for the full warranty time which is standard with the manufacturer and/or supplier.

The contractor shall provide a minimum one year warranty on all work performed. A copy of the 3.3.

to as a “Digging Permit”. The contractor shall initiate, prepare, and hand carry for signatures an AF Form 103, Work Clearance Request, 14-28 calendar days prior to any work (especially excavation) activities.

Base Civil Engineering will assist the contractor by providing points of contact; however, the responsibility for executing and tracking status of the work clearance request and coordinating utility markings with the Base Civil Engineer shops and/or other utility companies is solely that of the contractor. The contractor shall compose and provide sketches/drawings/ and dimensioning details showing the specific location of the intended area of work (especially excavation) when requesting an AF 103. The contractor shall physically stake, flag, or demarcate (in accordance with base civil engineer work clearance manager) to define the boundaries of all required utility locates at the location of proposed work. The contractor should allow 10-20 days for processing the work clearance request between the various activities that must coordinate on the request. The contractor shall submit to the CO and provide the Construction Representative with a copy of the completed AF Form 103 with all attached record utility drawings, and shall comply with all instructions for hand excavation and other methods of safeguarding the buried utilities prior to on-site work. The contractor shall take caution within the area 3 feet to either side of a utility pre-identified to the contractor. If the contractor damages any utility within this six-foot boundary, the contractor is responsible for restoring the utility 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 not within the 6-foot boundary of the utility marking, the contractor shall notify the CO and Construction Representative to determine the method of repair (i.e., in-house or by contract). If the damaged utility requires repair by an outside source or someone not in the contractor’s employ (e.g., someone to repair specialty lines) and the contractor is responsible for the damage; the contractor shall coordinate and schedule such persons making the repairs and shall furnish prompt payment for the work to such persons.
