A temporary fence shall be provided by the Contractor in accordance with paragraph 2.9, Fenced Storage Yard of Section 01010, The requested size of the Contractor's storage and staging area shall be proposed as part of the design.

1.11.1.5. Unless noted otherwise, it is assumed that the capacity of the existing building electrical service will be sufficient to accommodate the requirements of this project. However, it shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to determine the adequacy of the electrical service and in the case that the service is not adequate, submit a written report within 30 days of Project Design Start (Notice to Proceed) indicating the deficiency, along with the recommended size/capacity required to the Contracting Officer.

1.11.1.6. Field Information. Base utility information, which may be provided for this RFP, is the best information available and may be provided to assist the Contractor during the design of this project. The Contractor is solely responsible for field verifying all information given. The Contractor is also responsible for obtaining all information necessary to properly design and construct the project. Information gathering during the design shall be coordinated through the Contracting Officer. Any field surveying required to identify/verify utility locations, manhole inverts, existing grades and features, etc., shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and shall be tied into the base-surveying datum.

Design for and conduct lead-based paint and/or lead-containing coating removal in all construction areas found to contain such material. Contractor conducted tests shall be facility-wide and shall be comprehensive for the purposes of determining information applicable to, necessary for and pertinent to both the investigation and design services of this project. Include the resultant report and recommendations in the 100% Title 1-A Investigation Report. Additionally, forward one (1) copy of the final approved report and recommendations to the base Project Manager and 355 CES Environmental Element (355 CES/CEIE).
