Clause List

B001 PRICE / COST

The Contractor is required to furnish all labor, tools, materials, services, equipment, transportation, insurance, bonds, security notifications, submittals, supervision, licenses, permits, state sales taxes and fees in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, for the replacement of multiple Air Handling Units (AHUs) at the Seattle Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) located at 3101 Auburn Way South, Auburn, Washington 98092-7950, in accordance with the contract clauses, specifications, drawings, and applicable wage rates.

CONTRACT LINE ITEM (CLIN) DESCRIPTION TOTAL

1 JOB

The offered price must include all costs related to (a) direct and indirect labor, fringe benefits, overhead, G&A expenses, profit, material, equipment, other direct costs, insurance, freight, transportation, inspections, testing, operation and maintenance manuals, warranties, payment and performance bonds, etc., (b) federal, state, and local taxes, (c) all applicable fees, permits, licenses, and (d) any miscellaneous charges.

Effective April 1, 1996, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began operating under the new FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS). The 1996 DOT Appropriation Act, Public Law 104-50, mandated that the FAA rewrite its acquisition regulations and granted legislative relief from certain laws. The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, Small Business Act, and Competition in Contracting Act, are four of these laws.

B002 ESTIMATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE / CONTRACT TIMELINES

From contract award, the FAA estimates the following timelines:

6 weeks for submittals, including submission, review, and approval 6 months lead time for AHU units 17 weeks onsite physical work, including required punchlist items and cleanup 6 weeks' closeout

Total contract timeframe expected is approximately 53 weeks. These timelines are estimates only and are negotiable based upon the contractor’s means and methods and lead times for materials. The final period of performance will be based on contractor’s final approved schedule. The contractor will be required to submit a practicable schedule for approval after contract award.

B003 ESTIMATED SIZE OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

ESTIMATED PRICE RANGE FOR THIS PROJECT IS BETWEEN $750,000 AND $1,000,000.

B004 FACILITY SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

The contractor will be allowed a sufficient number of contractor/subcontractor workers to be badged during this project. Contractor’s badged workers must escort unbadged workers at all times. This air traffic facility is a secure facility that requires daily entry through security. Entrance into the facility requires all unbadged individuals to go through the security building and obtain a visitor pass for that day. This process may take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number of workers requiring entry.

Clause List

C001 SCOPE OF WORK

See Attachment 1 – Specifications and Attachment 1(a) Drawings (as an attachment to the Specifications).

Section D - Packaging and Marking Clause List

Section E - Inspection and Acceptance Clause List

3.10.4-10 INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION (SEP 2009)

(a) 'Work' includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

(b) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not--

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) below.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, without additional charge, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer.

The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless the Government determines that it is in the public interest to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may:

(1) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor or

(2) terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.

(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

(j) In the absence of any formal disputes, a project will be deemed physically and financially complete within one year after final acceptance and excess funds will be deobligated at that time.

(End of clause)

Section F - Deliveries or Performance Clause List

3.10.1-24 NOTICE OF DELAY (MAR 2009)

If the Contractor becomes unable to complete the contract work at the time(s) specified because of technical difficulties, notwithstanding the exercise of good faith and diligent efforts in the performance of the work called for hereunder, the contractor shall give the Contracting officer written notice of the anticipated delay and the reasons therefor. Such notice and reasons shall be delivered promptly after the condition creating the anticipated delay becomes known to the contractor, but in no event less than forty-five (45) days before the completion date specified in this contract, unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer. When notice is so required, the Contracting officer may extend the time specified in the Schedule for such period as deemed advisable.

Section G - Contract Administration Data Clause List

G001 INVOICING INSTRUCTIONS

After contract award, contractor will be required to submit a Schedule of Values (SOV) for approval and to be used for determining contract financing payments throughout the contract duration. The Government is paying for “work in place” or “work accomplished”. Submittals are considered incidental to the actual installation work and are to be spread over the installation activity line items and not reflected as a separate line item in the SOV to be paid prior to physical work accomplished. Only work accomplished which meets the standards of quality established under the contract, as approved by the Contracting Officer, will be paid as work progresses on the contract.

Once the Notice to Proceed is issued and the onsite work starts, the contractor may submit monthly invoices to the FAA as work progresses. Prior to NTP, only reimbursement of bond costs may be invoiced. Monthly pay app requests must contain:

1) Draft invoice/SOV reflecting work completed to-date.

2) Payrolls through the invoice period end date.

3) Updated construction schedule reflecting progress to-date.

4) Monthly Construction Waste Management Report.

Contractor is to submit pay app requests concurrently to the Contracting Officer (CO) and the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for review prior to uploading the invoice into FAA's e-invoicing system. Once the draft invoice is reviewed and approved, the contractor will be instructed to upload the approved invoice into the FAA's e-invoicing system for payment. A minimum of 10% of the final contract value will be held at completion of the project until all closeout documents are received and approved by the FAA and a Contractor’s Final Release Statement is received.

See Contract Clause 3.3.1-2 Payments under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts for additional information.

End of Clause

Section H - Special Contract Requirements Clause List

3.1.9-1 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SIGNATURE (JUL 2020)

(a) The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) establishes a legal equivalence between:

(1) Contracts written on paper and contracts in electronic form;

(2) Pen-and-ink signatures and electronic signatures; and

(3) Other legally-required written records and the same information in electronic form.

(b) With the submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges and accepts the utilization of electronic commerce as part of the requirements of this solicitation and the resultant contract.

(c) Certain documents may need to be provided or maintained in original form, such as large-scale drawings impractical to convert to electronic format or a document with a raised seal signifying authenticity. This clause does not change or affect any other requirements that a document must be in paper format to satisfy legal requirements such as for certain real estate transactions.

(d) The use of electronic signature technology is authorized under this solicitation and the resulting contract.

(e) Contractors must not digitally sign any documents with software that uses the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA- 1). All digitally signed documents and contracts sent to the FAA must use a SHA-256 or higher hash algorithm. This is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Policy Statement on Hash Functions dated August 5, 2015. Further guidance on the use of SHA-256 is in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-57 Part 1, section

5.6.2 as amended and SP 800-131A, Revision 1 dated November 6, 2015. Additional guidance on the use of SHA-3 is in NIST SP 800-185 as amended.

(f) Contractors do not have to update documents previously digitally signed using SHA-1 hash algorithms unless the document requires updating. The FAA and contractors may continue to use SHA-1 for the following applications:

Verifying old digital signatures and time stamps, generating and verifying hash-based message authentication codes (HMACs), key derivation functions (KDFs), and random bit/number generation.

(End of Clause)

3.8.2-17 KEY PERSONNEL AND FACILITIES (JUL 2019)

(a) The personnel and/or facilities as specified below are considered essential to the work being performed hereunder and may, with the consent of the contracting parties, be changed from time to time during the course of the contract.

(b) Prior to removing, replacing, or diverting any of the specified personnel and/or facilities, the Contractor must notify in writing, and receive consent from, the Contracting Officer reasonably in advance of the action and must submit justification (including proposed substitutions) in sufficient detail to permit evaluation of the impact on this contract.

(c) No diversion will be made by the Contractor without the written consent of the Contracting Officer.

(d) The key personnel and/or facilities under this contract are:

Project Manager [ ] Superintendent [ ]

(List key personnel and/or facilities)

(End of clause)

H001 PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVES

FAA shall comply with all Presidential directives. If any clause, provision, term, or condition in this SIR or contract is inconsistent with any Executive Order or Presidential Memoranda issued on or after January 20, 2025, or implementing guidance thereof, FAA will take action it deems appropriate and as permitted by law to correct any such inconsistency to include finding a provision or clause invalid. Applicable Executive Orders include, but are not limited to:

· Executive Order 14148 of January 20, 2025, Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

· Executive Order 14151 of January 20, 2025, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing.

· Executive Order 14154 of January 20, 2025, Unleashing American Energy.

· Executive Order 14168 of January 20, 2025, Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government

· Executive Order 14173 of January 21, 2025, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.

H002 STATE REGULATION OF FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

FAA contractors may encounter requests from State and local governments for the FAA’s contractors to obtain building permits, zoning approval, sanitation approval, etc. Based on the “Supremacy Clause” set forth in Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution, construction contractors are not required to obtain most permits or approvals for work done on Federal construction projects. The States do have enforcement authority for safety and environmental protection as specified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability (Superfund) Act (CERCLA), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

Contractors who encounter attempts by State or local government entities to assess various types of fees against a FAA construction project should be advised to inform the Contracting Officer immediately if the assessing entity attempts in any way to prevent or hinder the contractor at the job site.

(End of Clause)

H003 POST AWARD CONFERENCE (KICK OFF MEETING)

At a minimum, the Contractor’s Project Manager will be required to attend a brief post award conference via Microsoft Teams after contract award to ensure the contractor has an understanding of the contract requirements, to identify early planning steps and any potential problems or issues that may need to be addressed prior to contract performance. This meeting will be conducted via Microsoft Teams and will not require onsite attendance.

H004 APPLICABLE MINIMUM HOURLY RATES

The wage determination decision of the Secretary of Labor in this contract specifies the minimum hourly rate of wages which must be paid to the laborers and mechanics employed or work at the job site. The rates have been determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with the provisions of the Davis Bacon Act, as amended, to be prevailing rates for the corresponding classes of laborers employed on contracts of a similar character in the locality where the work is performed.

While the wage rates given in the decision are the MINIMUM rates required to be paid during the life of the contract, it is the responsibility of offerors to inform themselves as to local labor conditions, such as the prevailing wage rates, the length of the work day and work week, overtime compensation, fringe benefits payments, available labor supply, and prospective changes or adjustments to wage rates. The contractor must abide by and conform to all applicable laws, Executive Orders, and rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor. No increase in contract price will be allowed or authorized for the payment of wage rates in excess of those listed in the contract wage determination decision.

The wage determination decision of the Secretary of Labor in this contract is solely for the purpose of setting for the minimum hourly wage rates required to be paid during the life of the contract and is not to be accepted as a guarantee, warranty, or representation of the wage rates indicated.

NOTE: THE DAVIS BACON ACT IS APPLICABLE (SEE CONTRACT CLAUSES). REFERENCE THE

ATTACHED GENERAL WAGE DECISION NO. WA20250108, dated 2-7-2025, for the State of Washington (SEE SECTION “J”). THE WAGE DETERMINATION IS HEREBY INCORPORATED INTO THIS

REQUEST FOR OFFERS (RFO) AND WILL BE PART OF ANY RESULTANT CONTRACT.

H005 SUBMITTALS / CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

A Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued to the contractor after the preconstruction meeting and when the on-site work is ready to start. Prior to its issuance, all submittals and other required documentation must be submitted and approved by the FAA. These may include, but are not limited to, an approved project schedule, approved submittals, submission of insurance and bonds, an approved construction waste management plan, and completion of the badging process.

See Attachment 1 – Specifications for required submittals and information regarding the submittal process. The estimated timeframe for the submittal process is 6 weeks from contract award. The contractor must provide an initial construction schedule for FAA review and approval within 14 days of contract award, and a finalized project schedule at least 14 days prior to the Notice to Proceed. The contractor must use a standard scheduling software program, such as Primavera, that has been developed specifically to manage construction schedules. The FAA must approve Contractor’s scheduling software program. The contractor will be required to provide the FAA with notice if the contractor makes logic changes in the schedule after approval/acceptance.

The contractor is expected to finance the project throughout the submittal process until the NTP is issued. Once the NTP is issued, the FAA will begin making financing payments monthly as work progresses, as detailed in Contract Clause 3.3.1-2 Payments under Fixed-Price Construction Contracts (Oct 2024).

3.2.2.3-39 REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFIED COST OR PRICING DATA OR DATA OTHER

THAN CERTIFIED COST OR PRICING DATA - MODIFICATIONS (JAN 2022)

(a) Request for exception from certified cost or pricing data requirements.

(1) In lieu of submitting certified cost or pricing data for modifications under this contract, on the date of the agreement on price or the date of the award, whichever is later, the Contractor may submit a written request for exception by submitting the information described in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this clause. The Contracting Officer may require additional supporting information, but only to the extent necessary to determine whether an exception should be granted, and whether the price is fair and reasonable.

(i) Identification of the law or regulation establishing the price offered. If the price is controlled under law by periodic rulings, reviews, or similar actions of a governmental body, attach a copy of the controlling document, unless it was previously submitted to the contracting office.

(ii) Information on modifications of contracts or subcontracts for commercial items.

(A) If-

(1) The original contract or subcontract was granted an exception from certified cost or pricing data requirements because the price agreed upon was based on adequate price competition or prices set by law or regulation, or was a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial item; and

(2) The modification (to the contract or subcontract) is not exempted based on one of these exceptions, then the Contractor may provide information to establish that the modification would not change the contract or subcontract from a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial item to a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of an item other than a commercial item.

(B) For a commercial item exception, the Contractor must provide, at a minimum, information on prices at which the same item or similar items have previously been sold that is adequate for evaluating the reasonableness of the price of the modification. Dependent upon the commercial items being catalog items, market-priced items, or items included on an active Federal Supply Service Multiple Award Schedule contract, the Contractor must include the corresponding information pursuant to that of which is described in paragraphs (a)(1)(B)(1); (a)(1)(B)(2) or (a)(1)(B)(3) of this clause:

(1) For catalog items, a copy of or identification of the catalog and its date, or the appropriate pages for the offered items, or a statement that the catalog is on file in the buying office to which the proposal is being submitted. Provide a copy or describe current discount policies and price lists (published or unpublished), e.g., wholesale, original equipment manufacturer, or reseller. Also explain the basis of each offered price and its relationship to the established catalog price, including how the proposed price relates to the price of recent sales in quantities similar to the proposed quantities.

(2) For market-priced items, the source and date or period of the market quotation or other basis for market price, the base amount, and applicable discounts. In addition, describe the nature of the market.

(3) For items included on an active Federal Supply Service Multiple Award Schedule contract, proof that an exception has been granted for the schedule item.

(2) The Contractor grants the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative the right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records to verify any request for an exception under this clause, and the reasonableness of price. For items priced using catalog or market prices, or law or regulation, access does not extend to cost or profit information or other data relevant solely to the Contractor's determination of the prices to be offered in the catalog or marketplace.

(b) Requirements for certified cost or pricing data.

If the offeror is not granted an exception from the requirement to submit certified cost or pricing data, the following applies:

(1) The offeror must prepare and submit certified cost or pricing data, data other than certified cost or pricing data, and supporting attachments in accordance with the information contained at AMS Guidance T3.2.3.G.1 "Instructions for Submitting Certified Cost/Price Proposals for Supplies, Services, or Construction," which is incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as though it were inserted here in full text. The instructions in AMS T3.2.3.G.1 are incorporated as a mandatory format to be used in this contract.

(2) As soon as practicable after agreement on price, but before contract award (except for unpriced actions such as letter contracts), the offeror must submit a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data that conforms to the instructions contained in the Appendix G1 to AMS Guidance T3.2.3, 'Cost and Price Methodology."

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-41 PERFORMING WORK (APR 2024)

The Contractor must perform, using its own organization, work equivalent to at least 15 percent of the total amount of work under the contract on the site. The CO may modify this contract to reduce this percentage if the Contractor requests a reduction and the CO determines that it would be to the FAA's advantage to do so.

3.2.2.3-50 PROPERTY PROTECTION (JUL 2024)

(a) The Contractor must construct and maintain any temporary fences, gates and other facilities needed to preserve crops, control livestock, and protect property. Before cutting a fence, the Contractor must take necessary precautions to prevent livestock from straying. The Contractor must prevent loss of tension in or damage to adjacent portions of the fence. The Contractor must immediately replace all fencing and gates cut, removed, damaged, or destroyed with new materials to the original standard. Undamaged gates may be reused.

(b) The Contractor must comply with the property owner's requests to leave gates open or closed.

(c) The Contractor must use all necessary precautions to avoid destroying surveying markers such as section corners, witness trees, property corners, mining claim markers, bench markers, triangulation stations, and the like. If the Contractor must destroy any marker, the Contractor must first notify the agency responsible for the marker, as well as the Contracting Officer's (CO) representative, and replace the markers.

(d) The Contractor must use care to prevent unnecessary damage to property in or near the work area caused by the Contractor's work. Unnecessary damage is that which the Contractor can avoid through efficient and careful performance of the work, considering the Contractor's land rights. If the Contractor damages any property, the Contractor must at once notify the owner or custodian and make or arrange to make prompt and full restitution.

(e) Maps and specifications the FAA provides may not give the location of all water supply, drainage, irrigation, and other underground facilities. Before entering a tract of land for contract purposes, the Contractor must determine from the property owner (or other reasonably available source) the location of any irrigation system, domestic water system, source of water, and drainage system existing on the property, whether serving that property or other property. The Contractor must avoid damaging or obstructing these facilities or polluting water supplies.

(f) The Contractor must hold the FAA harmless from any and all suits, actions, and claims for damages, including environmental impairment, to property arising from any of the Contractor's acts or omissions, the Contractor's subcontractors, or any of the Contractor's employees or subcontractor employees, in any way related to the work or operations under this contract.

(g) The Contractor must indemnify and hold harmless the property owners or parties lawfully in possession against all claims or liabilities asserted by third parties, including all governmental agencies, resulting directly or indirectly from the Contractor's wrongful or negligent acts or omissions.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-60 SPECIFICATIONS, DRAWINGS, AND MATERIAL OFFERS (JUL 2024)

(a) If either the specifications or the drawings (but not both) mention tasks, the Contractor must assume that the tasks are in both. If the drawings and specifications differ, the specifications govern. If there is a discrepancy in the figures, in the drawings, or in the specifications, the Contractor must submit the matter promptly to the Contracting Officer (CO), who will promptly determine which governs, and notify the Contractor in writing. Any adjustment made by the Contractor without the CO's determination is at the Contractor's own risk and expense. As needed, the CO will provide necessary detailed drawings and other information, unless otherwise provided.

(b) Wherever in the specifications or the drawings, the FAA uses "directed," "required," "ordered," "designated," "prescribed," or similar words, they refer to the CO's requirements. Similarly, "approved," "acceptable," "satisfactory," or similar words refer to the CO's approval, unless otherwise expressly stated. The Contractor must have a complete set of plans and specifications on-site and available for the FAA's use.

(c) Where the FAA uses "as shown," "as indicated," "as detailed," or similar words, they refer to the drawings accompanying this contract, unless stated otherwise. The word "provided" means "provided and installed."

(d) Omissions from the drawings and specifications or the erroneous description of details of work which are necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or which are customarily performed, does not relieve the Contractor from performing those omitted or erroneously described details of the work. The Contractor must perform them as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications.

(e) The Contractor must check all drawings the FAA provides before starting work and must promptly notify the CO of any discrepancies. In general, the Contractor should follow figures marked on drawings, rather than scale measurements. In general, large-scale drawings have precedence over small-scale drawings. The Contractor must compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying out the work. If the Contractor does not verify the figures, the Contractor will be responsible for any errors that might have been avoided had it verified them.

(f) "Shop drawings" means drawings, the Contractor or any subcontractor submit to the FAA under a construction contract, showing in detail the proposed fabrication and assembly of structural elements and the installation (that is, form, fit, and attachment details) of materials or equipment. It includes drawings, diagrams, layouts, schematics, descriptive literature, illustrations, schedules, performance and test data, and similar materials the Contractor provided to explain in detail specific portions of the work the contract requires.

The FAA may duplicate, use, and disclose in any manner and for any purpose shop drawings you deliver under this contract.

(g) If this contract requires material offers (for example, shop drawings, catalog cuts, certificates of conformance), the Contractor must coordinate all of its offers, and review them for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with contract requirements. The Contractor must provide evidence that it approves the submittals. If the Contractor submits materials to the FAA without this evidence, the FAA may return them and ask the Contractor to resubmit the materials. The CO will indicate whether he or she approves or disapproves the offer, and if the CO does not approve it as submitted, will indicate the reasons for rejecting it. Any work done before the CO's approval is at the Contractor's risk. The CO's approval does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for any errors or omissions in the submittals, nor from responsibility for complying with the contract requirements, except as described under (h).

(h) If the submittals vary from the contract requirements, the Contractor must describe the variations in writing, separate from the submittal, when it submits them. Send this description, a copy of the offer, and a proposal to incorporate it into the contract directly to the CO. If the CO approves a variation, the CO must issue an appropriate contract modification, unless the variation is minor or does not involve a change in price or in time of performance.

(i) The Contractor must submit to the CO for approval four copies (unless otherwise indicated) of all shop drawings as called for under the various headings of these specifications. The CO will keep three sets (unless otherwise indicated) of all offers and will return one set to the Contractor.

(j) The Contractor must insert this clause, with appropriate changes in the designation of the parties, in all subcontracts.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-66 CONTRACTOR'S DAILY LOG (JUL 2024)

The Contractor must submit a "Daily Log." The Contractor must complete the logs daily and deliver them to the designated FAA Contracting Officer's (CO) Representative. The logs must include, but are not limited to, workers by classification, construction equipment moved on and off the site, materials and equipment delivered to the site, inspections and tests performed, and total cumulative hours worked.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-68 SAFETY AND HEALTH (OCT 2014) - ALTERNATE I (JUL 2004)

(a) Before beginning work, the Contractor (you) must:

(1) Perform a hazards analysis of the work specified in this contract. Consider both the site and adjacent conditions.

Identify all significant hazards. Some of the hazards you might encounter are power tool injuries, tripping & falling hazards, etc.

(2) Submit a safety plan for dealing with each specific hazard identified, whether you or FAA identified it.

(3) Meet with the CO's representatives during the preconstruction conference to discuss and to develop a mutual understanding about the content and implementation of the plan.

(4) The CO or her or his representatives may require other hazards to be added to the plan. If the CO determines that your planned hazard avoidance measures are insufficient, the CO or a designated representative may require you to revise the plan. You may not begin work involving identified hazards unless you have submitted adequate plans to the CO and the CO has reviewed them. This approval does not relieve you of your liability for safe performance.

(End of clause)

3.2.2.3-71 COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK (JUL 2024)

The Contractor must (a) begin work under this contract within 5 calendar days after the date the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, (b) perform the work diligently, and (c) complete the entire work ready for use not later than the approved project schedule completion date. The time stated for completion must include final cleanup of the premises.
