All work not specifically addressed in this specification or specifications there after shall be installed in strict accordance to the latest publications of the National Electric Code, Uniform Building Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and Grand Forks AFB Architectural Compatibility Guide. The GFAFB Architectural Compatibility Guide is not included in specifications package, but will be provided upon request.

International Conference of Building Officials has established the basic building code standards for construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance. These standards, commonly referred to as the International Building Code (IBC), together with the Unified Facilities Criteria UFC 1-200-01 found at http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/DOD/UFC/ufc_1_200_01.pdf shall constitute the minimum acceptable levels of construction, function, and safety for all projects.

All material selections, construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance shall comply with the latest addition of Unified Facilities Criteria UFC 3-600-1 Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities.

All articles, supplies and equipment, parts, and assemblies thereof, of standard manufacturers or for which design requirements are not prescribed by these specifications shall be guaranteed against any failure in the proper use or operation caused by defective material, workmanship, or design for the full warranty time which is standard with the manufacturer and/or supplier.

The contractor shall provide a minimum one year warranty on all work performed. A copy of the warranty shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer before final inspection of the facility.

1.4.2 Location

The work shall be located at the Grand Forks AFB, ND, approximately as indicated. The exact location will be shown by the Contracting Officer.

1.5 OCCUPANCY OF PREMISES

Building(s) will not be occupied during performance of work under this Contract.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 2

1.6 LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES

Record drawings (as-builts) showing existing facilities and underground utilities are available to the contractor through the Base Civil Engineer Drafting Office, and Operations Customer Service. The government does not guarantee the accuracy or adequacy of existing as-built/record drawings.

The contractor is responsible for field verifying all dimensions and actual conditions when developing individual delivery order proposals. Failure to verify the dimensions and locations will be at the contractor's risk and shall not relieve the contractor from accomplishing the work required by the contract at the price awarded by the government. The contractor shall immediately repair any utility lines shown on a record drawing (or made known to the contractor via ground marking) and damaged during construction work at no cost to the government. Prior to digging, the contractor shall review available drawings and located utilities to determine if all utilities on the drawings have been located. Should the drawings indicate the existence of an underground utility, but there are no markings to indicate the utility has been located, the contractor shall verify all locates are completed prior to below grade excavations.

Scan the construction site with Ground Penetrating Radar and electromagnetic or sonic equipment, and mark the surface of the ground where existing underground utilities are discovered. Verify the elevations of existing piping, utilities,and any type of underground obstruction not indicated to be specified or removed but indicated or discovered during scanning in locations to be traversed by piping, ducts, and other work to be conducted or installed.

1.6.1 CORDINATION AND 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 building, 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. Attachment One to this specification contains the process and policy for the scheduling of utility outages at Grand Forks AFB. This coordination shall be the responsibility of contractor. As this policy and other attachments are updated, new revisions will be provided to the contractor by the CO. 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)

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 3 working days prior to commencing work. The contractor must receive approval from the CO and/or CR before interrupting utilities. Any disruption of utilities service to the military family housing area shall include coordination with the base housing office. 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 Civil Engineer Shop) responsible for the service. Typically, the civil engineer shop having jurisdiction will shutdown 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.

Control of the base electrical system is the responsibility of the Base Utility Superintendent (Bldg 411). All switching of electrical equipment/circuits must be approved by the base Utility Superintendent or his authorized representative. Work on de-energized high voltage lines or equipment is not permitted until the Base Utility Superintendent or his authorized representative has issued a safe clearance procedure to the Contractor Superintendent in accordance with AFI 32-1064, 25 May 2006 (a copy is available upon request).

The contractor shall not disturb communication wiring to facilities. Where such facilities require removal of existing, reconfiguration of existing, and/or installation of new communication equipment and wiring to accomplish the work involved, the contractor shall coordinate with the Communications Squadron prior to actual work, to determine the scope of effort and gain authority from the Communications Squadron to work on communications systems. The contractor shall allow for the accomplishment of such removals by the telephone company or communications personnel for the systems they service. If construction activities damage communication equipment or wiring, the contractor shall restore services as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours, and at no cost to the government.

1.6.2 Notification Prior to Excavation

Notify the Contracting Officer at least 15 days prior to starting excavation work. 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 hydro-excavating 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.

1.7 GOVERNMENT-INSTALLED WORK

NAVFAC ESC will provide and install internal locking system for security door. Contractor coordination with NAVFAC ESC during construction is critical for proper lock installation.

1.8 SALVAGE MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT

1.4.1.14 Base Entry Procedures

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. Questions of clarification on locations or procedures for controlled/restricted areas contact Security Forces at 701 747-5351. These minimum requirements are outlined below.

Restricted areas are identified in GFAFBI 31-101 and include the Command Post (CP) and Mass Parking Area (MPA). Each area is fenced or conspicuously identified by posted signs.

Controlled areas include more than forty four 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 each is conspicuously identified by posted signs. Work in this area will require the creation of a free zone so the contractor's personnel can work in the area without security escorts. Refer to the contract documents sheet C-001 SITE PLAN. Contractor personnel may need to be escorted from the perimeter of the controlled area to the free zone and back out.

1.4.1.14.1 Minimum Security Requirements

Visitor Passes: The Commercial Visitor Control Center will issue a SFMIS AF Form 75 (Visitor Pass) to the contractor and his/her employees upon completion of screening process for the duration of the contact.

Although contractors will not be issued vehicles passes vehicles are subject to search while on the installation. Employee privately owned vehicles will not be allowed access to restricted/controlled areas without a free zone being established. Company vehicles will be allowed access to restricted/controlled areas. All Contractor vehicles should have markings

SECTION 01 14 00 Page 9 with the company name for quick identification of ownership and notification if they are involved in an incident.

The contractor shall ensure that his/her employees comply with all base traffic regulations and properly conduct themselves while on the base.
