D. Prior to the start of any construction operations, a schedule of work or operations in proper sequence shall be submitted by the contractor for approval by the Fire Protection Branch, Security Police, Safety Office, and the Contracting Officer so as to cause a minimum amount of disruption to the normal flow of traffic on streets, pedestrian travel, base security, and facility operations.

1. Submit to the Contracting Officer, who will submit to 88 CEG/CENMP for approval, a construction progress schedule detailing on a weekly basis when work is to begin for each work area and what work is to be accomplished (including quantities), etc. While factors not under the contractor's control may cause the contractor to fall behind the schedule, the intent of the schedule is to inform base personnel of planned orderly progression of the work in proper sequence. Once the construction progress schedule is approved, do not deviate from the sequence without prior approval.

2. The Government retains the right to limit the number and location of all material storage, construction and office trailers, temporary structures of any kind and open storage and staging areas requested by the contractor to support this project. The contractor shall be responsible to submit a site layout plan identifying number, purpose, proposed location and certification of compliance with section 01 01 50, 1.6, B of any and all material storage, office and construction trailers and temporary structures required for accomplishment of this project. The plan shall also identify any and all required open storage and staging areas. For design-build contracts, the site layout plan shall be developed and reviewed as part of the Design Drawings. For Design-bid-build projects, submit the site layout plan in accordance with drawings if site lay down information is specified. This plan must be submitted to 88 CEG/CEN for review and approval a minimum of three weeks prior to mobilization.

E. Before starting any work where traffic will be impeded or hindered, especially fire trucks and security police vehicles, call and notify the Fire Protection Branch (extension 257-4075) and the Security Forces (257-6516 or 257-6517) 72 hours prior to placing barricades or starting any work.

Note: When a high volume of mixing trucks are required contact the Contracting Officer 2 weeks in advance of concrete/asphalt delivery.

Although not guaranteed, 88SFS will consider expedited inspection at the CVDG. Concrete mixing/asphalt contractors will provide a letter on company letterhead which includes contract number, dates of access, access point (as requested), driver names, social security numbers and truck information signed by contract authorized signer. Additional information may be required. Trucks will be required to present bill of lading, entry credentials, and their name and driver's license if requested and must submit to an inspection.
