PART 1-GENERAL

1.1. Construction sites shall be operated and maintained according to these specifications, and are subject to inspection and enforcement according to all Incirlik Air Base and local codes/regulations. The following individuals are authorized to inspect contractor construction sites, and enforce the standards contained in these specifications: contracting officer, contracting administrator, and construction management inspector. All contractor construction projects with performance periods greater than 60 days are authorized a “staging” area adjacent to their con-struction sites providing such a space is available at that time. Contractor shall provide his/her own security for the area. The storage area shall be kept in a safe, neat, and orderly manner at all times.

1.2. Construction Area Screening: All project staging areas, construction sites, and storage areas shall be securely fenced around the entire perimeter of the job site. Fencing (min 2m in height) shall be completely secured at top and bottom to prevent unauthorized vehicle and pede-strian access. Fences shall be screened with opaque screening material to prevent visibility of the fenced area - in areas where material storage, contractor work trailers, trash containers, and any debris that may be collected as a result of the construction. Fences and screens shall be ade-quately staked and/or anchored to prevent blowing over or coming loose during high wind condi-tions. Security fences shall be erected and maintained by the contractor at his/her own expense.

The Contractor shall replace or repair in a timely manner, as determined by base CE, all fences and screening sections that have damage or develop unsightly rips or holes. Upon completion of the contract, security fences shall be removed from the base, by the contractor, prior to final payment. Contractor shall submit photos or samples of the screening material for approval by 39 CES/CECEC prior to installation. See Attachment 1 for Construction Site Screening Standards.

1.3. Project Signs: The contractor shall furnish a project sign on site in accordance with the attached drawing (see Attachment 2). Sizes shown are nominal. Sign shall be 60cm tall by 120cm wide by 2mm thick enamel painted sheet metal. The sign shall be constructed of good sound materials suitable for the purpose. The sign, and posts if used, shall be given one prime coat and two finish coats of gloss exterior-type enamel paint, Blue (RAL 5010). All lettering shall be as shown on the attached drawing, and shall be of gloss exterior-type enamel paint, White (RAL 9003). The sign shall be erected at the designated location, by the contracting offic-er or designated representative, and shall be maintained in good condition by the contractor until completion of the contract. The sign shall remain the property of the contractor and shall be re-moved from the site upon final inspection and acceptance of the facility, equipment, or infra-structure. Contractor identification and logo shall be allowed only on this sign and nowhere else on the exterior of the job site, with the exception of company vehicles. There should be no signs for the purpose of advertising anywhere on the site. Contractors shall submit a sign proposal to CE for approval. Contractor shall be required to modify their project sign whenever CE sign standards are revised.

1.4. Job Site Mobilization: The contractor shall submit a proposal to base CE diagramming their construction site and all material storage areas in locations separate from a construction site.

The contractor shall submit this plan 14 calendar days prior to the start of construction. Material mobilization and construction execution can not begin until the plan has been approved by the base. Jobsite utility connections are the responsibility of the contractor and shall be coordinated through base CE. Temporary overhead utility runs are prohibited. Contractor shall include a plan for supplying required utilities to their site in their proposal.

1.5. Hazmat/Hazwaste Housekeeping: Prior to bringing any hazardous material onto the base, the contractor must contact base CE to coordinate the storage and handling of all hazardous mate-rials.

Upon completion of the work, the con-tractor shall remove the temporary toilet facilities and leave the premises clean and sanitary. All cost incurred in connection with these sanitary facilities shall be included in the contract price.

3. HOUSEKEEPING AND SITE CLEANUP

3.1. The contractor shall perform normal housekeeping functions inside and outside contrac-tor facilities and construction sites. Such functions include grounds maintenance, sweeping, mopping, dusting, disposal of accumulated waste materials and rubbish, and other operations ne-cessary to present a neat appearance at all times. Grass within the construction sites and material storage areas shall never exceed 10 cm in height. All rubbish and waste materials (whether blown in or contractor generated) shall be removed daily, and shall be placed in contractor furnished containers. The contractor shall not dump refuse from any project in government dumpsters. If the contracting officer or construction management inspector discovers contractor refuse in gov-ernment dumpsters, they may instruct the contractor to immediately remove the refuse, or have government resources remove it at the contractor’s expense. As required, contractor generated refuse and waste shall be hauled from the construction site daily, to a disposal area to be selected by the contractor located outside the physical boundaries of the installation (Air Base). The con-tractor shall provide a haul route plan for approval by 39 CES/CECEC. During construction, contractor shall maintain all areas in a neat and orderly manner. Contractor shall clean keep the construction site and/or structure of all construction trash, trash generated by employees, debris, and/or demolished building materials, combustible waste material, and/or dust daily or more fre-quently as necessary for safe operations.

4. TRUCKING AND ROADS

4.1. The contractor shall provide a haul route plan for approval by base CE. Trucks loaded with loose material that can create dust, debris, or falling hazards shall be secured and covered.

Fasten suitable cover, such as tarpaulin, over the load before entering surrounding streets. The contractor is solely responsible for spillage from his/her vehicles, and such spillage shall be cleaned up immediately; the contractor shall bear the monetary responsibility to repair all damage associated with falling debris. All roads shall be maintained free of debris at all times. The Con-tractor is responsible for ensuring all haul routes and site access areas are maintained in a clean and orderly fashion, free from mud, debris and clutter at all times. For the duration of this con-tract and on a daily basis, the contractor shall remove from all base roads and/or streets asphalt, mud, soil, rocks, trash, and debris that result from his/her construction operation on base. As an additional measure, contractor may construct a water-filled tire cleaner in the construction drive-way, where it connects to the base roadway, to prevent from tracking mud onto the base road-ways. All roads and/or streets affected shall be cleaned before close of business on the particular day affected. In the case of asphalt, roads shall be cleaned and/or treated with lime immediately.

Special consideration must be given to haul routes that cross active taxiways. No amount of de-bris at these locations shall be tolerated. The contractor shall sweep these areas continuously as long as material deliveries are being made. Taxiways, runways, parking aprons, and hard surfac-es, used as access to the work or staging areas, shall be kept clean at all times.

5. EXCAVATIONS
