1.5. DESCRIPTION

1.5.A. Scope

1. This Section includes requirements for coordinating with Government's operations during the project and includes requirements for tie-ins and shutdowns necessary to complete the work without impact on Government's operations except as allowed in this Section.

2. The Design-Builder and/or the Construction Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools, and incidentals shown, specified, and required to coordinate with Government's operations during the work in accordance with this Section.

1.5.B. Coordination

1.5.C. Except for shutdowns specified in this Section, perform the work such that Government's facilities remain in continuous satisfactory operation during the project. Schedule and conduct the work such that the work does not impede Government's production or processes, create potential hazards to operating equipment and personnel, reduce the quality of the facility's products or effluent, cause odors or other nuisances, or affect the public health, safety, and convenience.

1.5.D. Work not specifically covered in this Section or in referenced Sections may, in general, be completed, at any time during regular working hours in accordance with the Contract Documents, subject to the requirements in this Section.

1.5.E. As a substitute to the procedures specified in this Section, Design-Builder may propose providing additional temporary facilities that can eliminate or mitigate a constraint without additional cost to

Government, provided such additional temporary facilities:

2. Operation of existing systems and equipment will be by Government unless otherwise specified or indicated.

3. Where necessary for the work, Design-Builder shall ensure that all gates and valves are sealed or bulkheaded to prevent leakage that may affect the work, Government's operations, or both.

4. Provide temporary watertight plugs, bulkheads, and line stops as required. After completing the work, remove seals, plugs, bulkhead, and line stops to satisfaction of COR.

1.5.H. Bypassing

Diversion of flows around treatment processes is not allowed.

1.5.I. Requirements for temporary pumping associated with specific shutdowns are indicated in this Section.

1.6. GENERAL

1.6.A. The Design-Builder shall indicate in the Construction Documents the sequence and shutdown durations, where applicable, for Government's equipment, systems, and conduits (including piping and ducting) that are to be taken out of service temporarily for the work. New materials, equipment, and systems may be used by Government after the specified field quality controls and testing are successfully completed and the materials or equipment are substantially complete in accordance with the Contract Documents.

1.6.B. The following constraints apply to coordination with Government's operations as applicable:

1. Operational Access

Government's personnel shall have access to equipment and areas of the facility that remain in operation.

2. Temporary Partitions and Enclosures
