TECHNICAL PROVISIONS

GENERAL

1. PROJECT LOCATION

1.1 All work under this project will be performed on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER). Work areas and limited access areas are shown on drawings.

2. NOTIFICATION OF WORK START

2.1 The Contractor shall give at least 10 working days advance notice in writing to the Contracting Officer at 10480 Sijan Ave, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) prior to beginning any work under the scope of this project.

2.2 Coordinate with appropriate utility locating agencies, including base communications cable maintenance (Item 1 through 19) of 673rd ABW Form 3 (Base Civil Engineer Work Clearance Request). Form 3 will be given to the Contractor during the pre-construction meeting. Contractor shall complete and follow all instructions on Form 3 before start of work in accordance with Wing Instructions (WI 32-1007) “Safeguarding Utilities From Damage”. A copy of the Wing Instructions will be available to the Contractor during the pre-construction meeting.

2.3 Contractor shall schedule a meeting time to meet with each utility agency at the work site to locate affected utilities.

2.4 Contractor shall maintain all marked utilities in the field once they are initially marked by each utility agency. If markings are damaged, Contractor shall request new locates and shall give the locating agency 48 hours to perform the new locates. Expenses for time and materials to perform repeat locates shall be borne by the Contractor, unless otherwise approved by the Contrcating Officer. Cost to do the repeat locates will be deducted from the final invoice. Cost will be calculated using the average shop rate of $35.00 per man-hour. In cases where utilities were marked late in the year and operations had to be shut down for winter, marked utilities would still have to be maintained by the Contractor by placing stakes or transcribing the marks on a drawing.

When construction resumes, Contractor shall re-mark the site and may request verification of utility locations at no additional cost to him (Off Base utility locates agencies might request additional cost for repeat locates).

2.5 Clearance request is not valid until signed by the approving officer (Block 23 of Form 3). Approving officer will not sign until all locates are marked and all utility locating agencies signatures are on the form. Excavation work shall commence within 30 days after the approving officer’s signature, otherwise clearance request is invalid and a new

01010-2 request is required. Notify Contracting Officer immediately if new utilities were installed by others and not marked after all initial locates are made.

2.6 The Contractor is considered a “construction agency” for compliance with the provisions of WI 32-1007”.

3. WORK SCHEDULE

3.1 Work Hours: Work hours on this project shall be limited to Monday through Friday inclusive, between 07:00 hours through 16:30 hours, excluding federal holidays, unless approved otherwise in writing by the Contracting Officer.

All outages are subject to approval, in writing, by the Contracting Officer and will be allowed only at the convenience of

01010-5 the Government. This notification shall be made prior to the utility outage and in sufficient time to give the utility personnel ample opportunity to arrange and schedule discontinuance of utility services. The Contractor shall hold all outages to a minimum number of shortest possible duration.

8.2 Unscheduled: Reimburse the US Government for man-hours, materials, and circuit cost when damage to or interruption of service on any cable occurs through negligence of the excavator/Contractor, including any failure to obtain proper coordination of Wing Form 3 prior to commencement of construction or excavation in accordance with paragraph 9.1 of this section.

9. CLEARANCE WORK REQUEST

Contractors shall bring a copy of their project site plan for CE shops to review. If a CE shop has a utility in the proposed construction area, utility locate will be scheduled. A shop will not sign off on the WG Form 3 until the locate is performed. If a shop does not have a utility in the construction area, their particular block on the form will be signed. CE shops have up to 72 hours to perform a locate. CE Environmental Flight has up to 3 days to process the permit. During the remainder of the year, Contractors shall process the form by taking it to all shops. Emergency work is an exception;

Contractors shall take the forms through the shops during any day of the week.

Contractors are still responsible for contacting the offices/agencies other than CE (on and off Base). The CE Construction Management Office’s and the Approving Officer’s signatures shall be the last signatures required.
