1.17 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

A. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and Local laws and regulations covering environmental pollution control and abatement in effect on the date of solicitation and the specific requirements stated elsewhere in the Contractor Specifications.

JA-1 - SPECIFICATIONS Page 10 of 102

B. The Contractor shall submit an environmental protection plan to the Contracting Officer, which covers the requirements of all waste disposal and Project site operations. The plan shall include, but not be limited to, the use of on base waste disposal site, the names and locations of off base disposal sites, methods used to safely and legally transport wastes to all disposal sites, methods used to prevent non-point source pollution at the Project Site (including a contingency plan for effectively handling spills of hazardous materials), and training for employees on all elements of this plan. No site work, including mobilization, staging and site preparation, shall be permitted prior to approval of the plan by the Contracting Officer.

E. The contractor assumes the reporting requirements listed in this section. Figure 1 and Figure 3 offer sample formats for meeting the reporting requirements provided in 1.6.E.1 through 3 and

1.6.E.4, respectively. In addition to reporting to the Contracting Officer, the applicable reports are due to Environmental Health Services (EHS) monthly throughout the length of the contract or at contract closeout, whichever occurs first. Information can be submitted by fax at (907) 585-6318, by e-mail at john.moylan.ctr@clear.af.mil or in person to Room 18 in Bldg. 66.

1. The contractor must report all off-site disposal of solid waste required during the completion of the project (Figure 1). This information should be reported as pounds of solid waste and indicated proportionally as municipal solid waste and construction and demolition debris. If it is not possible to report this information in pounds, the volume of waste and the composition of each volume of waste will be provided.

2. The contractor will report all hazardous waste generated as a result of the project (Figure

1). To ensure proper disposal procedures are followed, the disposal of hazardous wastes will be coordinated with the EHS office prior to disposal actions.

3. Any hazardous and non-hazardous wastes recycled, reused, or otherwise diverted from disposal will be reported in pounds or as a volume as previously described (Figure 1).

4. The Green Procurement Program (GPP) is a mandatory federal acquisition program

(www.arnet.gov/far) that focuses on the purchase and use of environmentally preferable products and services. The fact sheet provided as Figure 2 further describes the breadth of this program’s requirements. One portion of the GPP encourages the use of recovered materials through the Affirmative Procurement Program (APP). Through FAR clause

52.223-4 the contractor must comply with the APP requirements. For contracts exceeding $100,000, the contractor must comply with FAR clause 52.223-9, which requires the contractor to estimate the amount of recycled material in use on the project and provide this information to the Contracting Officer. A sample format to use for eporting is shown in Figure 3. Other parts of the GPP encourage the use of biobased and energy and water efficient products ( FAR 52.223-2) and discourage the use of ozone depleting substances (FAR 52.223-8).

3.2 REQUIREMENTS INCLUDED

A. Explanation of terminology used within the Drawings and Specifications.

3.3 RELATED REQUIREMENTS

A. Section 01005 - Administrative Provisions.

3.4 SPECIFICATION FORMAT AND COMPOSITION

A. Specifications are divided into Divisions and Sections for the convenience of writing and using.

Titles are not intended to imply a particular meaning or to fully describe the Work of each

Division or Section, and are not an integral part of the text that specifies the requirements.

Contracting Officer is not bound to define the limits of any subcontract, and will not enter into disputes between the Contractor and his employees, including subcontractors.

B. Pages are numbered independently for each Section. Section number is shown with the page number at the bottom of each page. "End of Section" is noted on the last page of each Section. It is Contractor's responsibility to verify that Contract Documents received for bidding and construction are complete in accordance with Table of Contents.

C. These Specifications are of the abbreviated, or "streamlined" type, and include incomplete sentences.

D. Omissions of words or phrases such as "the Contractor shall," "in conformity therewith," "shall be," "as noted on the Drawings," "according to the Drawings," "a," "an," "the" and "all" are intentional.

E. Omitted words or phrases shall be supplied by inference in the same manner as they are when a

"note" occurs on the Drawings.

3.5 DRAWINGS: CONTENT EXPLANATION

A. Where on any of the Drawings a portion of the Work is drawn out and the remainder is indicated in outline, the parts drawn out shall apply also to all other portions of the Work.

B. Wherever a detail is referenced and developed for a specific condition, same or similar detail shall apply to identical or similar conditions elsewhere on Project even though not specifically referenced.

JA-1 - SPECIFICATIONS Page 19 of 102

C. Where the word "similar" occurs on the Drawings, it shall be interpreted in its general sense and not as meaning identical, all details shall be worked out in relation to their location and their connection with other parts of the Work.

D. The figured dimensions on the Drawings or notes indicating dimensions shall be used instead of measurements of the Drawings by scale. No scale measurements shall be used as a dimension.

E. Provide piping, ductwork, equipment, and accessories indicated on the Drawings unless it is specifically indicated that the piping, ductwork, equipment, or accessory is existing.

F. Unless otherwise indicated, abbreviations and symbols used in the Drawings and Specifications are intended to have the meaning commonly accepted in the construction industry. Contact the

Contracting Officer for definition if any question arises concerning them.

G. Certain items used generally throughout the Specifications and Drawings are used as follows:

1. Indicated: The term "indicated" is a cross reference to details, notes or schedules on the

Drawings, other paragraphs or schedules in the Specifications, and similar means of recording requirements in the Contract Documents. Where terms such as "shown", "noted", "schedules", and "specified" are used in lieu of "indicate", it is for the purpose of helping the reader accomplish the cross reference, and no limitation of location is intended except as specifically noted.

2. Installer: The person or entity engaged by Contractor, his subcontractor or sub-subcontractor for the performance of a particular unit of work at the Project site, including installation, erection, application, and similar required operations. It is a general requirement that installers be recognized experts in the Work they are engaged to perform.

3. Provide: Except to the extent further defined, the term "provide" means to supply and install, complete and ready for the intended use.

4. Furnish: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail, the term "furnish" is used to mean the same as "provide".

5. Guarantee and Warranty: "Warranty" is generally used in conjunction with products manufactured or fabricated away from the Project site, and "guarantee" is generally used in conjunction with units of work which require both products and substantial amounts of labor at the Project site. The resulting difference is that warranties are frequently issued by manufacturers, and guarantees are generally issued by Contractor and frequently supported (partially) by product warranties from manufacturers.

6. Work: Work is the act of, and the result of, performing services, furnishing labor, furnishing and incorporating materials and equipment into the Project and performing other duties and obligations, all as required by the Contract Documents. Such Work, however incremental, shall culminate in the entire completed Project, or the various separately identifiable parts thereof.

7. Contracting Officer: Contracting Officer means Contracting Officer or Contracting

Officer’s Representative.

8. Owner: Owner means Government.
