C. The Contractor shall use construction fencing to enclose a work area whenever there is potential hazard to passersby such as open excavation, heavy equipment, falling debris, hazardous materials, etc. Fencing shall be considered Contractor supplied equipment and should be factored into the Contractor’s coefficient, unless the Contracting Officer deems the individual delivery order requirements so extensive as to warrant separate payment under the individual delivery order.

Construction fencing shall be maintained in good condition throughout each performance period.

D. The Contractor shall provide and maintain an adequate supply of movable barricades for use on job sites. Each barricade shall be self-supporting, wood or metal construction, minimum of 42” high, with reflective surfaces.

They shall be maintained in good condition throughout the contract period and remain the property of the

H. Barricades on streets or in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic must have battery-powered flashers for night use. Cones may only be used to temporarily block pedestrian traffic. Extended pedestrian blockages or road traffic must use barricades with tape strung between. All barricades (up to 100 linear feet), cones, etc., are part of the Contractor supplied equipment/supplies and shall be factored into the Contractor’s coefficient, unless the Contracting Officer deems the individual delivery order requirements so extensive as to warrant separate payment under the individual order.

F. All open excavation shall be secured with barricades, webbed fencing, or flashing lighted barricades on all sides, and have nylon web construction fencing completely surrounding the site, a minimum of 5’ away from the hole.

G. All excavation sites shall be covered at all times the job site is not manned, and shall have temporary nylon web fence and, if directed, barricades, installed around sites.

B. The schedule can be altered for reasons including but not limited to government delay, inclement weather, and unforeseen circumstances only by the decision of the contracting officer

C. The Contractor may be paid for materials on site; however, they must appear on the Contract Progress Schedule and be inventoried by the Contracting

Officer’s Technical Representative prior to payment.

E. Construction may not begin until the final design documents are approved by the Government, except for “fast-tracked” design-build projects. Once the design is approved, design changes are not allowed without government approval. In many cases, fast-tracked design-build projects

(projects for which construction begins at a mutually agreed point prior to completion of the design and construction drawings) will be clearly defined in the TO with various fast-tracked phases. In case of a fast-tracked project, construction may start only upon completion and approval of the design phases as defined in the TO.

F. Unless prior approval is granted by the government all major materials must be on site prior to beginning demolition.

16.0 INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP

Contracting Officer may require, in writing that the Contractor remove from the work any employee the Contracting Officer deems incompetent, careless, or otherwise objectionable.

17.0 ON/Off RAMP PROCEDURES

A. The Government intends that four contractors are available at all times to achieve effective competition on all TOs.

B. Contract holders are expected, in good faith, to participate in the TO competitions, and if successful, to deliver quality projects on time and on cost, to include management and supervision of subcontractors. If a contractor cannot participate in a competition for any reason, the Contractor shall provide written notice to the CO of the reason(s) for non-participation prior to proposal due date.

The Government will evaluate all contractors' participation rates, reason(s) for non-participation, and performance evaluations for TOs completed or in effect.

Failure to participate in good faith and / or an overall annual performance assessment rating of Marginal or Unsatisfactory may result in the Contractor being off-ramped from the multiple award program. An off-ramp decision results in the contract being terminated.

C. In the event contractor(s) are off-ramped within 30 months of initial contract award, the Government reserves the right to on-ramp contractor(s) to maintain a pool of up to four contractors. On-ramp contractors will be selected based on initial evaluation results from the basic multiple award solicitation in order of ranking. Contractor(s) must be active in the System for Award Management

(SAM) and otherwise in compliance with the original multiple award solicitation. If found in compliance, on-ramp contractors may be offered a bi-lateral IDIQ contract with original guaranteed minimum and allowed to compete on future TO projects.

D. The Government will not use on-ramp procedures beyond the 30-month mark from award date of the original contracts.

ATTACHMENT 1 - REFERENCES, REGULATORY, CODES, AND

STANDARD DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA

The most applicable references are listed below, although others may apply. The Contractor shall perform a code analysis to determine the specific codes applicable to each task order. In the event of a conflict between commercial and Air Force, regulations, codes, standards, instructions, technical letters, manuals, and handbooks, the more stringent criteria will generally apply.
