Information).

B. Proper RFIs: A properly prepared request for information shall include a detailed written statement that indicates the specific Drawings or Specification in need of clarification and the nature of the clarification requested.

1. RFIs shall be sequentially numbered.

2. Drawings shall be identified by drawing number and location on the drawing sheet.

3. Specifications shall be identified by Section number, page and paragraph.

C. Improper RFIs: RFIs that are not properly prepared.

1. Improperly prepared RFIs will not be processed by the Contracting Officer but will be returned unprocessed.

D. Frivolous RFIs: RFIs that request information that is clearly shown on the Contract

Documents.

1. Frivolous RFIs may be returned unprocessed.

3. CONTRACTOR’S REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION:

A. When the Contractor is unable to determine from the Contract Documents, the material, process or system to be installed, the Contracting Officer shall be requested to make a clarification of the indeterminate item.

1. Wherever possible after contract award, such clarification shall be requested at the next site visit by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), with the response entered on the daily reports. When clarification at the COR’s site visit is not possible either because of the urgency of the need, or the complexity of the item, Contractor shall prepare and submit an

RFI to the Contracting Officer.

B. Contractor shall endeavor to minimize the number of RFIs. In the event that the process becomes unwieldy, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer because of the number and frequency of the RFIs submitted, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to abandon the process and submit future requests as either submittals, substitutions or requests for change.

C. RFIs shall be submitted on the form provided by the Contracting Officer. Forms completely filled in, and if prepared by hand, shall be fully legible after photocopying or fax transmission. Each page of the attachments to RFIs shall bear the RFI number in the upper right corner.

G. RFIs shall not be used for the following purposes:

1. To request approval of submittals.

2. To request approval of substitutions.

3. To request changes which entail additional cost or credit.

4. To request different methods of performing work than those drawn and specified.

H. In the event the Contractor believes that a clarification by the Contracting Officer results in additional cost or time, the Contractor shall not proceed with the work indicated by the

RFI until a modification is prepared and approved. RFIs do not automatically justify a cost increase in the work or a change in the project schedule.

1. Answered RFIs shall not be construed as approval to perform extra work.

I. Contractor shall prepare and maintain a log of RFIs, and at any time requested by the

Contracting Officer, Contractor shall furnish copies of the log showing outstanding RFIs.

Contractor shall note unanswered RFIs in the log.

J. Contractor shall allow up to 14 days review and response time for RFIs, however, the

Contracting Officer will endeavor to respond in a timely fashion to RFIs.

SECTION 01 32 16

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE OF VALUES,

AND PROGRESS SCHEDULE

1. In accordance with the Notice to Proceed letter, the Contractor shall submit the following:

A. Construction Schedule-This schedule shall be prepared using a horizontal bar graph with time scale. It shall be in an industry accepted Project Management format and shall accurately display:

1. All major categories of work to be performed within the required contract completion date broken out in sufficient detail to track progress throughout the life of the contract. Major work categories should include but are not limited to mobilization, carpentry, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, roofing, concrete, site work, and demobilization. In addition to construction activities, procurement times for critical items, submittal turnaround time, mobilization, final inspection, punchlist work, and demobilization shall be shown on the schedule.

2. The duration of each work category.

3. Any concurrent work categories.

B. Schedule of Values-This schedule shall be prepared as a detailed cost breakdown of the contract price and be submitted with the Construction Schedule. This schedule shall include but not be limited to costs of materials, equipment, and labor for all major work categories shown on the Construction Schedule. The Contractor shall adhere to the following guidelines when developing the Schedule of Values.

1. Format - The line items in the Schedule of Values shall be the same as that of the Construction Schedule.

2. Bonds - Bonding costs will only be paid in a lump sum if they are broken out separately and included with the schedule of values. The Contractor shall provide evidence that he has furnished full payment to the surety.

Progress Payment requests shall not lump modification costs into the original contract price.

SECTION 01 32 26

CONSTRUCTION DAILY REPORTS

1. GENERAL: The Contractor shall complete a Daily Report for each and every day after mobilization. The importance of an accurate, fully detailed Daily Report promptly delivered to the designated On-Site Representative cannot be overemphasized. The report shall provide an accurate cumulative summary of the history and performance of the work. The Daily

Report shall document weather; work hours; work in-place; inspections and tests conducted, and their results; dimensional checks; equipment and material checks; data on workers by classification; the mobilization and demobilization of construction equipment; materials delivered to the site; and any other pertinent noteworthy event; e.g., personnel injury, site visit by

Coast Guard personnel, etc.

2. RESPONSIBILITY: The Daily Reports play an important role in settling disputes and claims for both parties. For this reason, the On-Site Representative and the Contractor's

Superintendent, together, should review the report to ensure its completeness and accuracy. Each day's report shall be submitted to the On-Site Representative no later than 10:00 a.m. the following morning. The maximum allowable retainage will be enforced for late, sporadic or non-submission of Daily Reports. In the absence of an On-Site Representative the Contractor shall mail the Daily Reports directly to the Contracting Officer every Friday. Should the Daily

Report indicate an accident, environmental issue, OSHA violation or any crisis the On-Site

Representative deems important, the Report should be faxed immediately to the Contracting

Officer at (216) 902-6278.

3. DESIGNATED ON-SITE REPRESENTATIVE RESPONSIBILITY: After a Notice to

Proceed for site work has been issued the On-Site Representative shall complete a Daily Report for each day until the Contractor mobilizes. After the Contractor is at the site, the On-Site

Representative shall ensure that the Contractor completes the Daily Report in accordance with

Paragraphs 1 and 2 above. Any items of dispute or other notes the On-Site Representative feels appropriate shall be added to the Daily Report. The On-Site Representative is also responsible for informing the COR when the contractor fails to submit daily reports.

2.1 Up to eight (8) items may be listed on an individual acceptance request. Number each

Contract Item Acceptance Request consecutively (Submittals # 1, 2, etc.) and re-submittals with letters (Submittal #1A is the first re-submittal of Submittal #1).

2.2 Submittals shall be forwarded to the Contracting Officer. The contractor shall allow 14 calendar days, excluding mailing time, for the review process in the Construction Schedule and all project planning. In instances where submittal review must be expedited, the Contractor may annotate the Contract Item Acceptance Request as "Urgent" and provide a FAX number for prompt return. The Coast Guard will make every effort to accelerate the review of each urgent submittal; however, the Contractor should not anticipate a reduced time schedule and shall plan project progress accordingly.
