1.3.8 Review Notations. Government review will be completed within 14 calendar days after date of submission. Submittals will be returned to the

Contractor with the following notations:

a. Submittals marked "approved" or "accepted" authorize the Contractor to proceed with the work covered.

b. Submittals marked "approved as noted" "or approved except as noted, re-submittal not required," authorize the Contractor to proceed with the work covered provided he takes no exception to the corrections.

c. Submittals marked "not approved" or "disapproved," or "revise and resubmit," indicate noncompliance with the contract requirements or design concept, or that submittal is incomplete. Resubmit with appropriate changes. No work shall proceed for this item until re-submittal is approved.

1.3.9 Contractor shall make corrections required by the Contracting Officer.

If the Contractor considers any correction or notation on the returned submittals to constitute a change to the contract drawings or specifications; notice as required under the clause entitled, "Changes," is to be given to the Contracting Officer. Contractor is responsible for the dimensions and design of connection details and construction of work.

Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at the Contractor's expense.

If the drawings are not current, the progress report will be adjusted downward by the Civil Engineering project manager to reflect the contractor’s non-compliance. Marked-up drawings will be submitted within five working days after substantial completion. Final payment will not be authorized until complete and accurate red-lined drawings are accepted by the Contracting

Officer.

1.11 SAFETY.

1.11.1 Governmental Requirements for Construction Safety are given in section 01 35 26 GOVERNMENTAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. In addition to the requirements listed in that section the contractor shall provide and maintain work environments and procedures which will --

a. Safeguard the public and Government personnel, property, materials, supplies, and equipment exposed to Contractor operations and activities.

b. Avoid interruptions of Government operations and delays in project completion dates.

c. Comply with all pertinent provisions of the latest version of U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, in effect on the date of the solicitation.

d. Comply with the standards issued by the Secretary of Labor at 29 CFR

Part 1926 and 29 CFR Part 1910.

1.11.2 Whenever the Contracting Officer becomes aware of any noncompliance with these requirements or any condition which poses a serious or imminent danger to the health or safety of the public or Government personnel, the

Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor orally, with written confirmation, and request immediate initiation of corrective action. This notice, when delivered to the Contractor or the Contractor’s representative at the work site, shall be deemed sufficient notice of the noncompliance and that corrective action is required. After receiving the notice, the

Contractor shall immediately take corrective action. If the Contractor fails or refuses to promptly take corrective action, the Contracting

Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any equitable adjustment of the contract price or extension of the performance schedule on any stop work order issued under this clause.

The Contractor shall also be responsible for all damages to persons or property that occur as well as any fines levied as a result of the

Contractor’s fault or negligence. The Contractor shall be responsible for all materials delivered and work performed until completion and acceptance of the entire work, except for any completed unit of work which may have been accepted under the contract.

1.13. SALVAGE MATERIAL AND WORKSITE CLEANUP

The Contractor shall at all times keep the work area, including storage areas, free from accumulations of waste materials and obstructions. At the end of each work day and at project final completion, the Contractor shall leave the work area in a clean, neat, and orderly condition satisfactory to the Contracting Officer. Before completing the work, the Contractor shall remove from the work site any rubbish, tools, scaffolding, equipment, and materials that are not the property of the Government.

1.13.1 It is ESSENTIAL that dust, dirt and any other debris be kept at an absolute minimum during the construction period. The concern is cross contamination into production areas by fugitive material. Effective mitigation strategies e.g. use of dual visqueen layers, appropriate surface prep, taping, formatted removal, negative pressure etc. and daily clean up need to be vigorously employed.

Building 2013 clean room will receive an additional inspection conducted by the Base Clean Room Officer; Mr. Brent Hale 586-4476. He shall perform an additional finger wipe down test, a particle monitoring test, differential pressure test, temperature test and humidity test. These tests shall conducted per TO 00-25-203 (available upon request) are required so that class 10,000 clean room requirements are met and that certification will be achieved.

The Contractor shall provide final clean-up in the clean room (room 129) according to the following procedure:

Wipe downs shall be with a damp cloth or mop.

Cleaning shall be performed with a lint free cloth, fold the dirty side to the inside for repeated wiping.

Vacuuming shall be performed with a HEPA vacuum

Final inspection shall be conducted by the Hill AFB clean room officer. He shall perform a finger wipe-down test.

The finger wipe-down test consists of wiping a surface and if any visible particulates are present the test fails. Magnification will not be used and the test is irrespective of skin color.

SECTION 01 11 01

Inspection in other production areas of building 2013 shall also utilize a finger wipe-down test.

Buildings 2024 and 2025 and CE equipment rooms will not require the degree of cleaning required above. These areas shall be mop cleaned and have no visible particulates.

Restrooms and offices shall be in the state of cleanliness as in their pre-construction state.
