I. Accident Reporting: All serious harm accidents must be reported immediately to the RE. Accident and investigation reports are to be copied to the RE and SSC within 48 hours. Accident scenes must not be disturbed until a full and complete accident investigation has been undertaken with the RE and other required personnel.

J. Contractor Safety Inspections: The Contractor is expected to carry our regular documented safety inspections (minimum weekly) on its work areas while on site. Copies of the inspection reports must be

01 11 00-10 provided to the RE for discussions at safety meetings. Any recommended completed corrective action will be advised at these meetings.

3.5 Pre-Construction Meeting

A. The RE will schedule a pre-construction meeting after Notice of Award. Required attendance includes Contractor, Contractor’s Superintendent, and major lower tier subcontractors. An agenda will be provided but must include at a minimum the review of the submittals required for NTP. The Contractor must submit other items, including those identified in Section G of the Contract, for review at the meeting. Acknowledgements of all the reviews made at the session will be noted in the meeting minutes.

3.6 Site Inspection

A. The FAA reserves the right to enter the premises during the term of the contract for quality assurance work inspections and/or maintenance of existing navigational and communication facilities.

B. After NTP and prior to initiating Work, Contractor and RE must conduct joint inspections of the jobsite to determine the existing conditions and note any existing damage or defects. Existing damage or defects will be used as the basis for determination of damages caused by the Contractor's operations.

C. Contractor will be responsible for the cost of any repair caused by Contractor’s operations or the operations of its lower tier subcontractors. All damage to the existing Site including, but not limited to, existing utilities and cables, facilities, equipment, buildings, and vegetation must be repaired. All such repairs must match the original finish and must be made utilizing materials, equal to or greater than the original materials, as approved by RE. All repairs must be made with no additional cost to FAA.

D. FAA retains the right to inspect all Work on the project but has no obligation to do so. FAA’s inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of FAA and do not:

1. Relieve the contractor or its lower tier subcontractors of the responsibility to provide adequate quality control measures.

2. Relieve the contractor or its lower tier subcontractors of the responsibility for damage to or loss of material before acceptance.

3. Constitute or imply acceptance.

E. The presence or absence of the RE does not relieve the contractor or its lower tier subcontractors from any contract requirement, nor is the RE authorized to change any requirement of the Contract.

3.7 Special Scheduling Requirements

A. Protect existing facilities and equipment from physical or electrical damage as a result of accidental or incidental negligence, such as, but not limited to, disruption of standby power to the facility or equipment.

B. All preparatory work must be completed by the Contractor prior to shutdown/cutover to minimize downtime. The requested time and date of shutdown and cutover must be approved by the RE a minimum of two working days in advance of the requested shutdown or cutover. FAA personnel will perform the actual shutdown/cutover of systems that affect operations.

C. In the event any services are interrupted, restore services with a full crew available to restore such services on a 24-hour basis, including Work during holidays and weekends, at no additional cost to FAA or delay in the Schedule.

D. Request any utility interruptions in writing per Facility requirements but not less than five working days before the scheduled interruption, unless otherwise specified. RE review is required before interruption.

In this notification, the Contractor must certify that all equipment, materials, and personnel necessary to conduct such testing will be available on the scheduled date and that the systems have been pre-checked by personnel and are ready for performance and acceptance testing.

E. Contractor must also confirm that all operations and maintenance manuals have been submitted and approved. No performance and acceptance testing will be permitted until the operations and

01 11 00-11 maintenance manuals have been approved.

F. At the option of FAA, FAA and FAA personnel will travel to the site to witness testing. If the testing must be postponed or canceled for whatever reason not the fault of the FAA, the Contractor must provide FAA at least three working days advance written notice of this postponement or cancellation.

G. Coordinate all required outages with FAA through the RE. The Contractor must determine quantity and duration of outages required to complete the Work. The Contractor may have to schedule work and outages at a time when air traffic is at a minimum. This could mean late night or early morning hours.

H. Do not interrupt services outside of permitted, scheduled outage periods.

3.8 Project Specific Work Plans

A. Required Work Plans: The Contractor must be required to submit written work plans in accordance with the Contract submittal requirements for critical items of work set out in this Section, in the Technical Specifications, or elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

1. Include a detailed Fall Protection Plan as part of the Safety and Health Plan submittal. The Fall

Protection Plan must identify specific situations where fall protection is required by all contract and lower-tier contract personnel who will be engaged in activities at elevations of 6 feet or higher, identify the fall protection system and associated components to be used, and explain the specific methods and procedures to be followed to assure 100% fall protection.

2. 100% fall protection means that the employee is protected 100% of the time by an approved fall protection system regardless of activity. 100% of the time an employee is engaged in activities at elevations of 6 feet or higher; the employee must be protected - without exception. 2. Guardrail Systems when used as the means of fall protection on the job must comply with 29 CFR 1926.502(b).

Additionally, these systems must:
