Officer, in writing, that the required insurance has been obtained. The policies referenced in the certification (s) shall contain an endorsement to the effect that any cancellation or any material change adversely affecting the Government’s interest shall not be effective (1) for such period as the laws of the state in which this contract is to be performed prescribe or (2) until 30 days after the insurer or the Contractor gives written notice to the Contracting Officer, whichever period is longer. The Contractor shall maintain a copy of proofs of required insurance, and shall make copies available to the Contracting Officer upon request. The Contractor shall maintain a copy of all subcontractors’ proofs of required insurance, and shall make copies available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

2. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE (REFERENCE FAR 52.236-21)

Any inconsistency in this solicitation or contract will be resolved by giving precedence in the following order:

3) Other documents, to include special contract requirements Section 00800, exhibits, and attachments,

4) The specifications

5) The drawings

If the Contractor desires to work during periods other than above, he must notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) five (5) working days in advance of his intention to work during other periods to allow assignment of additional inspection forces. When the COR determines that they are reasonably available, he may authorize the Contractor to perform work during periods other than normal duty 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 the inspection, at overtime rates, will be charged to the Contractor and will be deducted from the final payment of the Contract amount.

3.2. The following Federal legal Holidays are observed by this base:

When relocating to new sites, returning to sites for follow-up work on a phased work plan, notification to the Contracting Officer’s Representative is sufficient. Notification should be by personal contact; however, advance notification may be by telephone, or in writing, and should be accomplished sufficiently in advance to allow scheduling of inspection forces. The purpose of the above precautions is to ensure construction inspection and recording of work proceedings.

3.5. The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections, and articles, and the arrangement of the drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among subcontractors or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade.
