Base Civil Engineering Drafting Section, Building 410, Room 102.

7. SUBMITTALS: The contractor shall provide, as a minimum, single line electrical, mechanical, and/or civil shop drawings of the proposed renovation. These are required for the government's evaluation of the contractor's proposal.

8. PERMITS: The contractor shall obtain all applicable construction permits for each delivery order including, but not limited to, AF Form 103 Work Clearance Request and utility prints for the work site, welding permit, burn permit, as well as any permits or licenses required for the removal of hazardous materials.

9. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: If a hazardous material is suspected, the contractor shall immediately stop work in the area and notify the contracting officer.

10. GENERAL SECURITY: Security requirements for Air Force facilities under control of Grand Forks

Air Force Base are specific and rigidly enforced. Levels of security include Restricted and Controlled areas. Differing degrees of security are enforced at each area. Minimum security requirements, common not only to each of these secure areas, are also required for entry onto Grand Forks AFB. These minimum requirements are outlined below.

11. RESTRICTED AREAS: Restricted areas identified in GFAFBI 31-101 include the Airfield, Command Post (CP) and Munitions Storage Area (MSA). Each area is fenced or conspicuously identified by posted signs.

12. CONTROLLED AREAS: Controlled areas include more than 33 user-controlled base facilities; only a few of which include all hangars, buildings, and communications facilities located within the base aircraft flight-line controlled area. Each of these areas is identified in GFAFBI 31-101 and is conspicuously identified by posted signs.

13. PROJECT AREA: This contract will entail work in Base Entry areas only.

14. MINIMUM SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (All Areas Including Base Entry):

14.1. Visitor Passes: The Commercial Visitor Control Center will issue an SFMIS AF Form 75

(Visitor Pass) to the contractor and contractor employees upon completion of the screening process for the duration of contract.

14.1.1. Although contractors will not be issued base vehicles passes, vehicles are subject to search while on the installation. Contractor personnel are required to obtain a contractor visitor pass. This project’s work site does not contain restricted/controlled areas; therefore entry into such areas is strictly prohibited.

15. CONDUCT REQUIREMENTS: The contractor’s employees shall comply with all base traffic regulations and properly conduct themselves while on this base.

16. RESTRICTIONS: When working on base, all security regulations shall be obeyed.

17. UTILITIES COORDINATION: Utility Interruptions/Outages. The contractor shall perform the work under this contract with a minimum of outage time for all utilities, for any facility or system. The contractor shall make every attempt schedule any work that requires utility outages which will close down or limit normal activities in the construction area, or other affected areas (as determined by the contractor with coordination of engineering project management personnel) at a time other than regular work periods of the organization occupying the facility. Whenever outages occur on weekends, holidays or after normal duty hours, the contractor shall perform the work at such times as designated at no additional cost to the

Government.

Wherever possible, portions of the work that can be accomplished without an outage shall be done prior to actual outage. All materials, equipment, and labor required to facilitate work during an outage shall be on hand before the utility service is interrupted.

A process and policy has been established by 319 CES for scheduling and notifications regarding all utility outages. Contact CES Customer Service (701-747-5210 or 319ces.ceosc.customerserive@us.af.mil ) for the process and policy for the scheduling of utility outages at Grand Forks AFB. This coordination shall be the responsibility of contractor. In addition to the previous requirement, the contractor shall personally coordinate all utility outages with the affected facility users, and the Base Civil

Engineering Operations Flight shops that oversees/controls the system(s). Notifying the Construction

Representative (CR) is NOT adequate. The contractor shall submit requests for utility outages a minimum of ten (10) working days prior to commencing work. The contractor must receive approval from the CO and/or CR before interrupting utilities. This coordination shall be the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor is responsible for shutting down the utility using his own workforce or by requesting the shutdown from the utility company (or System Owner) responsible for the service. Typically, the system owner having jurisdiction will shut down the primary utility. Once work begins on an approved outage, work must continue without interruption until utility services to the affected line(s) and/or facility are restored. Exceptions require pre-approval from the CO/CR.

Excavating Around or Locating Existing Utilities. Prior to the start of work, the contractor shall identify and locate all valve or utility shut-off locations for use in the event of accidental damage. To preclude accidental damage, the contractor shall locate all known utilities (i.e. communication, natural gas, fuel supply, water, power, etc.) by hand digging or hydroexcavating prior to any excavation with other power equipment. The contractor shall note any utilities discovered during excavations that are missing or incorrectly represented on the AF Form 103 and it’s attachments, the contract drawings (including any erroneous dimensions on government record drawings), or those utilities staked by the user; and clearly identify those discoveries on project as-built drawings.

19. WORK SCHEDULE: The standard hours of work on Grand Forks Air Force Base are from 0800 to

1630 hours; Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. Working hours for the contractor will normally align with the base standard hours. If the contractor desires to work during periods other than the base standard work hours, additional Government inspection forces may be required. Therefore, to gain approval to work non-standard hours/days the contractor shall make his/her request in writing to the mailto:319ces.ceosc.customerserive@us.af.mil

Contracting Officer five work days (minimum) in advance of his/her intention to work during periods other than standard work hours/days. However, if inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty hours/days solely for the benefit of the contractor, the actual cost of inspection at overtime rates may be charged to the contractor. These adjustments to the contract price may be made as directed by the

Contracting Officer. Requests submitted to work during non-standard work times not meeting the five day notification rule as stated previously will be highly scrutinized, and probably disapproved.

20. PROJECT EXECUTION: The work performed under this contract will be in occupied facilities/areas.

In occupied facilities/areas, the contractor shall accomplish all work in a manner that minimizes inconvenience to the using agencies and their mission. The contractor shall perform all work with continuous daily progress. The government will not accept or permit days of no work or times laps of inactivity by the contractor except for drying or curing of previous work or as directed by the CO. In some cases, the government will require the contractor to work around government equipment within the work area to facilitate the contractors work. The contractor must, and shall protect all government equipment within the work area from dust, moisture, debris, and damage. The government will hold the contractor responsible for any damages caused by contractor operations as a result of lack of adequate protection of government property. NOTE: Once electronic equipment becomes contaminated/damaged with dust it cannot be restored and the contractor shall be held responsible to replace such items at no cost to the government. The contractor shall maintain the work site, hallways, and emergency exits free of debris, and safe at all times. Contractor personnel shall strictly adhere to safety standards (OSHA and AFOSH) and practices at all times during the term of the contract.
