It is recommended that a permanent sign be placed on the left door of the vehicles that do not have a company logo. Periodic spot checks of drivers’ licenses and AF

The Contracting Officer shall determine, in his/her discretion, whether such inspection forces are available and whether work will be allowed on a non-scheduled day. The Contracting Officer may authorize the

Contractor to perform work during periods other than normal duty hours/days;

however, if inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty hour/days solely for the benefit of the Contractor, the actual cost of inspection at overtime rates will be charged to the contractor. These adjustments to the contract price may be made periodically as directed by the Contracting Officer.

1.6 CONTRACTOR USE OF PREMISES

A. General: During the construction period the Contractor shall have full use of the premises for Protective Coating operations, including use of the site.

The Contractor's use of the premises is limited only by the Government’s right to perform work or to retain other contractors on portions of the

Project. All contractor operations must be closely coordinated with the using agency of the facility.

B. Use of the Site: Limit use of the premises to work in areas indicated.

Confine operations to areas within contract limits indicated. Do not disturb portions of the site beyond the areas in which the Work is indicated. Areas not identified to be removed or worked on under this contract that are disturbed or damaged during construction shall be removed and replaced at no additional cost to the Government.

1. Government Occupancy: Allow for Government occupancy and use by the public.

2. Driveways and Entrances: Keep driveways and entrances serving the premises clear and available to the Government, the Government's employees, and emergency vehicles at all times. Do not use these areas for parking or storage of materials. Schedule deliveries to minimize space and time requirements for storage of materials and equipment on-site.

A. Work under this contract may be performed in housing areas. Once a call is placed for such work, the contractor will be required to provide written notification to the contracting officer at least three weeks in advance of the expected start date.

If the anticipated work will require total road closures or blocking driveways, the contractor will hand deliver notices to the affected residents at least three working days in advance of the work. The notices shall clearly state the address, and the day the work is to begin, how long the work will take, and a description of the work to be accomplished. The notice shall also contain the name and phone number for the contractor’s point of contact and the Air Force point of contact (the latter information will be provided at the pre-construction conference).

1.8 GOVERNMENT OCCUPANCY

A. Full Government Occupancy: The Government will occupy the site and existing building during the entire construction period.

Contractor’s representative at the site of the work, shall be deemed sufficient notice of the noncompliance and corrective action required.

After receiving the notice, the Contractor shall immediately take corrective action. If the Contractor fails or refuses to take corrective action promptly, the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. The

Contractor shall not base any claim or request for equitable adjustment for additional time or money on any stop order issued under these circumstances.
