PART 2 - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS - Page 9

Failure to actively apply an acceptable safety program will result in dismissal and a project work stoppage that will remain in effect pending approval of a suitable replacement.

f. Accident Notification and Reports: Notify the Contracting Officer as soon as practical, but not later than four hours, after any accident meeting the definition of Recordable Injuries or Illnesses or High Visibility Accidents, property damage equal to or greater than $2,000, or any weight handling equipment accident. Include contractor name; contract title; type of agreement; name of activity, installation or location where accident occurred; date and time of accident; names of personnel injured; extent of property damage, if any; extent of injury, if known, and brief description of accident ( e.g., type of construction equipment used, PPE used). Preserve the conditions and evidence on accident site until the OSHA investigation team arrives and Government investigation is conducted. The Prime Contractor shall conduct an accident investigation to establish the root cause(s) of the accident and report to OSHA within 5 calendar days.

g. Hot Work: Prior to performing "Hot Work" (e.g., welding, cutting) or operating other flame-producing/ spark-producing devices, request a written permit from the Fire Division.

CONTRACTORS ARE REQUIRED TO MEET ALL CRITERIA BEFORE A PERMIT IS ISSUED.

It is mandatory to have a designated FIRE WATCH for any "Hot Work". The Fire Watch shall be trained in accordance with NFPA 51B and remain on-site as required after completion of the task or as specified on the hot work permit.

h. Hazardous Material Use: Each hazardous material must receive approval prior to being brought onto the job site or prior to any other use in connection with this agreement. Allow a minimum of 10 working days for processing of the request for use of a hazardous material.

Notwithstanding any other hazardous material used in this agreement, radioactive materials or instruments capable of producing ionizing/non-ionizing radiation (with the exception of radioactive material and devices used in accordance with USACE EM 385-1-1 such as nuclear density meters for compaction testing and laboratory equipment with radioactive sources) as well as materials which contain asbestos, mercury or polychlorinated biphenyls, di-isocynates, or lead-based paint are prohibited. The Contracting Officer, upon written request may consider exceptions to the use of any of the above excluded materials.

Immediately stop construction on any portion of work in which unforeseen hazardous material is encountered during operations and report the occurrence to the Contracting Officer. Within 14 calendar days the Government will determine if the material is hazardous. If material is not hazardous or poses no danger, the Government will direct the Contractor to proceed without change. If material is hazardous and handling of the material is necessary to accomplish the work, the Government will issue a modification pursuant to FAR 52.243-4, Changes, and FAR 52.236-2, Differing Site Conditions.

i. Pre-outage Coordination Meeting: Request for utility outages at least 15 days in advance. As a minimum, include in the request the location of the outage, utilities being affected, duration of outage and any necessary sketches. Once approved, and prior to beginning work on the utility system requiring shut down, attend a pre-outage coordination meeting with the Contracting Officer to review the scope of work and the lock-out/tag-out procedures for worker protection. No work will be performed on energized electrical circuits unless proof is provided that no other means exist.

j. Utility Locations and Verification Prior to Excavation: Obtain appropriate digging permit from Base personnel through Contracting Officer prior to digging. All underground utilities in the work area must be positively identified by a private utility locating service in addition to any station locating service and coordinated with the station utility department. Maintain all markings during utility investigation throughout the agreement.

Physically verify underground utility locations by hand digging using wood or fiberglass handled tools when any adjacent construction work is expected to come within three feet of the underground system. Use hand digging within 2 ft. of a known utility. If construction is parallel to

PART 2 - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS - Page 10 an existing utility, expose the utility by hand digging every 100 ft. if parallel within 5 ft. of the excavation.

k. Utilities Within Concrete Slabs: Utilities located within concrete slabs are extremely difficult to identify due to the reinforcing steel used in the construction of these structures. Whenever work involves concrete chipping, saw cutting, or core drilling, the existing utility location must be coordinated with station utility departments in addition to a private locating service. Outages to isolate utility systems shall be used in circumstances where utilities are unable to be positively identified. The use of historical drawings does not alleviate the contractor from meeting this requirement.

l. Conduct of Electrical Work: Follow electrical safety criteria specified in UFC 3-560-01, USACE EM 385-1-1, and NFPA 70E during the conduct of all work.
