20 feet of air intakes, doorways or windows.

1.2.10 Allowable Surface Loads

Loads transferred to soils and pavements shall be minimized to a desired maximum of 3000 pounds per square foot, by placement of cribbing or steel pads under rubber-tired crane outriggers and trailer stanchions/sand shoes, or by placement of mats under treads of crawler cranes. Visually inspect areas adjacent to cribbing or plates and report any unusual bituminous pavement surface conditions, irregularities, or cracking to the Contracting Officer.

a. Outriggers of rubber-tired cranes shall be landed on two layers of timbers of appropriate thickness, oriented at right angles to each other, or landed on properly designed steel pads. Treads of crawler cranes shall run on appropriate mats. Use and design of cribbing, plates and mats shall be in a manner consistent with general construction industry standards.

b. Position loads that will remain on trailers detached from tractors to attain a distribution of 65 percent to rear axles and 35 percent to front support stanchions/sand shoes. For example, assuming an 83000 pound maximum gross weight, and a soil bearing pressure of 3000 pounds per square foot, the required support under each sand shoe would be 2.5 feet x 2.5 feet. Accordingly, two tiers of timber cribbing at right angles, each 2.5 feet x 2.5 feet x 4 inches, or a properly designed 2.5 feet x 2.5 feet steel pad would be utilized under each trailer stanchion/ sand shoe.

1.2.11 Work in Occupied Building(s)

Work under this contract may be located in an occupied building. Move unfixed furniture away from

Contractor's working area as required to perform the work; protect; and replace in original locations upon completion of the work. Leave fixed equipment in place and protect against damage or temporarily disconnect, relocate, protect, and reinstall at completion of work. If determined necessary by the Contracting Officer, the

Government will remove and relocate other Government property in the areas of the buildings scheduled to receive work. Allow 15 calendar days after written notification from the Contractor for the Government to relocate Government property.

1.2.12 Utility Cutovers and Interruptions

a. Make utility cutovers and interruptions after normal working hours or on Saturdays, Sundays, and

Government holidays as approved by the Contracting Officer. Conform to procedures required in the paragraph

"Work Outside Regular Hours." Anticipated costs shall be included in the bid.

b. Ensure that new utility lines are complete, except for the connection, before interrupting existing service.

c. Interruption to Water, Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer, Telephone Service, Electric Service, Air Conditioning, Heating, Fire Alarm, Compressed Air, and other utilities shall be considered utility cutovers pursuant to the paragraph entitled "Work Outside Regular Hours."

d. Operation of Station Utilities: The Contractor shall not operate nor disturb the setting of control devices in the station utilities system, including water, sewer, electrical, and steam services. The Government will operate the control devices as required for normal conduct of the work. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting

Officer giving reasonable advance notice when such operation is required.

1.2.13 Crane and Railroad Trackage Interruptions

Crane and railroad trackage are considered utilities, and as such are subject to strict scheduling approvals. Where the following contract work is planned, submit written requests for outages to the Contracting Officer:

Track Outage:

Any excavation within 10 feet of a rail that will extend below the grade of the cross ties

Any work that will penetrate a track foundation

Any work involving trackage replacement or repair

Any work affecting the load bearing capacity of the trackage

No work shall be conducted in affected areas until the Contractor receives written approval to the request for outage.

Track Securement:

Track Securement differs from Track Outage in that it does not affect track certification. Track Securement requests shall be prepared by the Contractor and submitted to the Contracting Officer to obtain scheduling approval from Code 740.2 before work that would curtail the use of tracks (e.g., placing equipment or hoses within the crane envelope or within the defined Crane Clearance Zones).

1.2.14 Work Adjacent to CIA Security Fencing

Work adjacent to Controlled Industrial Area (CIA) fencing is strictly controlled to ensure security is maintained at all times.

Work which will breach CIA fencing is prohibited unless Chief of Police approval has been obtained and a

Shipyard Police representative is at the worksite during the period that the fence has been breached.

a. A minimum of 30 work days prior to performing work which requires breaching the CIA security fence, arrange through the Contracting Officer to obtain DoD Chief of Police approval and scheduling of the Shipyard

Police representative. "Breaching the fence" is any repair, alteration, or other work which would allow access into the CIA either over, under, or through an opening in a CIA fence.

b. Conditions which breach the fence shall be eliminated during all non-work periods to the satisfaction of the

Shipyard Police representative. Contractor shall not leave the worksite until such conditions are eliminated. All materials used to close openings in fencing and method of installation shall be the same type and construction as adjacent, undisturbed CIA fencing.

c. Except for temporary off-loading of materials, the 10-foot zone adjacent to CIA fencing shall remain clear of vehicles, materials, and equipment. Contractor personnel shall be at the site throughout the entire time of any off-loading.

1.2.15 Work Adjacent to an Overhead Crane

a. Provide a minimum clearance of three (3) inches between the highest point of the crane and the lowest overhead obstruction. For buildings where truss sag becomes a factor, increase the clearance as necessary to maintain the minimum required clearance.

b. The horizontal clearance between the end of the crane and the building columns, knee braces or any other obstructions shall not be less than two (2) inches with the crane centered on the runway rails. Pipes, conduits, etc. shall not reduce this clearance.

c. The vertical clearance beneath a bridge crane is to be at least three (3) inches. This clearance is not applicable to the hook block unless it is in its upmost position.

d. For work involving installation, adjustment, or replacement of rail fasteners (e.g. clips/bolts), the Contractor shall verify the existing crane envelope and clearance measurements around the rail head prior to beginning work. The Contractor shall notify the Government if the work will reduce the clearance between the bridge crane and rail fasteners and ensure newly installed items will not obstruct bridge crane travel.

e. The Contractor shall notify the Government to verify that crane clearance has been maintained when the work performed may have changed any physical dimensions of objects or structures adjacent to the crane (e.g., changing or servicing lighting fixtures/pendant assemblies, removal and reinstallation of pipes, conduits, junction boxes, etc.). If the crane is not available (e.g., undergoing maintenance, inspection, etc.), the Contractor shall verify crane clearance by taking measurements using reference points (e.g., vertical and horizontal distance from the top of crane rail with respect to the crane envelope, vertical distance from the floor with respect to the crane envelope, etc.).

1.2.16 Gas-Free Testing of Manholes and Confined Spaces

1.2.16.1 General

All manholes of the Shipyard can become filled with an explosive oxygen/fuel gas mixture if a leak should develop in the Shipyard's underground MAPP gas or PROPANE gas distribution systems or if inflammable materials should be inadvertently spilled into an underground system. Consequently, no attempt shall be made to remove the cover from any manhole in the Shipyard without first ensuring the air content of the manholes does not contain an explosive air/gas mixture. The air content of the manhole shall be tested, and attested to, only by an individual who has been trained to be a competent person in inspecting confined spaces.

The Government will not perform gas-free testing for Contractor personnel. If Shipyard and Contractor personnel must occupy the same confined space, the space shall be tested by the Contractor's competent person and the Shipyard's competent person.
