1.15.2 Rehabilitation

All repair, maintenance, and construction must be completed in a manner that is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s “Standards for Historic Preservation Projects” and the Secretary’s “Illustrated Guidelines for Reha-bilitating Historic Buildings”.

1.16 EXCAVATION REQUIREMENTS

The Government will furnish the Contractor with an approved AF Form 103, BCE Work Clearance Request, in-dicating any special precautions or areas that will be marked (for utilities). The contract drawings, AF Form 103 and marking will indicate all information the Government has knowledge of, but will not indicate all conditions that may occur in the field. The Contractor shall not begin (work) excavation until the Clearance Request is is-sued. The Contractor shall be responsible for removing all markings made for his benefit as soon as the need for an individual mark is passed. The Government will mark utilities one time only. Maintaining these marks or ad-ditional marking is the responsibility of the Contractor.

1.16.1 Acquiring a Work Clearance Request (Air Force Form 103)

A coordinated and approved Work Clearance Request is required prior to any excavation activities. The Contrac-tor shall submit a request to the Project Inspector 14 days prior to the start of excavation work. All requests must be initiated no later than Thursday of any week to be inserted into the Work Clearance approval process for the following week. The Contractor will be notified to attend a Work Clearance scheduling meeting. At the Work Clearance meeting, the Contractor will receive an AF Form 103, instructions for completing the form, and a date and time for utilities to be marked. The Contractor shall not commence excavation prior to obtaining an ap-proved AF Form 103. After all respective utilities have been marked and verified by the Project Inspector, the Contractor shall return the original AF Form 103 to his/her respective Project Inspector for coordination and sig-nature by the Chief of Engineering. No digging or excavation shall begin before the Chief of Engineering signs the AF Form 103. After the Chief of Engineering signs the AF Form 103, the Project Inspector will return it to the Contractor. Then, and only then, shall the Contractor commence excavation. The Contractor shall maintain all utility markings for the duration of the contract. Contractor shall maintain original version of the AF Form 103 for the duration of excavation work at the particular site. Ensure all applicable parties have coordinated on

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 14 the form prior to excavation. For Miss Utility, use the Ticket Information Exchange (TIE) number or actual technician signature as evidence of coordination. The AF Form 103 clearance shall not be allowed to expire.

The Contractor shall revalidate/resubmit the AF Form 103 within seven days prior to the expiration date if it is anticipated or known that the duration of excavation will exceed the 30-day limitation.

1.16.2 Miss Utility

Contractor shall contact Miss Utility (1-800-552-7001) at least 48 hours prior to excavation to identify non-Air Force-owned underground utilities (cable TV, Bell Atlantic and Virginia Power, etc.). Notices to Miss Utility are good for 15 working days; after that period, Contractor shall renew the notice. Indicate renewals on the AF Form 103 as applicable. Miss Utility is open 24 hours, seven days a week. Calls after 1700, before 0700, on weekends and on holidays are accepted for emergencies only. Holidays include New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. After 48 hours, Contractor should contact Miss Utility to confirm that clear-ance/marking operations have been completed. The Contractor must wait an additional 24 hours if any operators or contract locators have not responded to the Ticket Information Exchange (TIE) system request within the first 48 hours.

1.16.3 Markings

1.16.3.1 General Requirements for Marking Utilities

a. Prior to commencing any excavation, the Contractor must inspect the site for clear evidence of un-marked facilities. If evidence of such facilities is present, the excavator must notify the notification center and wait an additional three hours for the facilities to be marked.

b. The Contractor may choose to wait 72 hours and begin work after that time if there is no evidence that any underground facilities remain unmarked. However, it is recommended that Contractors contact the TIE system and confirm the status of underground facilities before they commence work.

c. After the markings have been made, Contractors are required to maintain a minimum clearance of two feet between a marked, underground utility line and the cutting edge of any power-operated excavating equipment. If excavation is required within two feet of any marking, it shall be performed very carefully with hand tools in accordance with Virginia Code Section 56-265.24.

d. If, during the course of excavation, a utility line has been exposed, before backfilling, the Contractor must inspect these facilities to ascertain if the facilities have been damaged. If damage of any kind is dis-covered or suspected, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to immediately notify the utility owner directly.

The Contractor must NOT attempt to repair damaged facilities.

e. Maintain any paint marks or stakes indicating underground utilities/lines as required during the dura-tion of work or thirty calendar days from date of approved AF Form 103 (whichever is earlier). Note that Miss Utility clearance expires after fifteen working days.

1.17 OCCUPANCY AND SERVICES TO EXISTING FACILITIES

The Contractor shall not interrupt utilities serving nearby facilties and parking lights in the areas without coordi-nating with the Contracting Officer or his/her designated representative.

1.18 UTILITIES

All reasonable amounts of water and electricity required for this work will be made available to the Contractor if such utilities exist at the project site. Temporary lines, connections, installation, maintenance and removal shall be the Contractor’s responsibility. The Contracting Officer, or the Contracting Officer’s designated representa-tive, shall approve any temporary lines and connections. All services are subject to discontinuance without notice to the Contractor in an emergency. Three-phase power may not be available. The Contractor shall provide his/her own necessary utilities when such utilities are not available at the project site.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 15

1.19 UTILITY OUTAGES AND TRAFFIC

Contractor shall request utility / power outages or changes to normal traffic flow pattern at least 14 calendar days in advance of disruption or change to either. The contractor is responsible for supplying temporary restroom fa-cilities if a planned water outage occurs during normal duty hours or affects operations of critical and/or 24-hour manned facilities.

1.20 CONVENIENCE FACILITIES

Existing restroom facilities may not be used by construction personnel. The Contractor shall maintain, in a neat and sanitary condition, such accommodations for the use of his employees. Temporary restroom facilities shall be white in color.

1.21 SUPERVISION

1.21.1 Superintendent

The Contractor shall employ a construction superintendent to oversee all work under this contract. The superin-tendent shall remain at the project site at all times when work is in progress except for such incidental errands re-quired by his/her duties. The superintendent is responsible for the proper coordination and timeliness of the work, and for proper workmanship of all trades; therefore, his/her absence from the project site without a suitable substitute representative of the Contractor shall be considered as damaging to the Government.
