14th Contracting Squadron 495 Harpe Blvd, Suite 293 Columbus, MS 39710

3.6.2 SUBMITALS AT INTERMEDIATE STAGES OF DESIGN COMPLETION: To facilitate review and feedback throughout the design process, designs are submitted at various stages of completion as follows:

1) 35% DESIGN SUBMITTAL: Contractor must submit 35% design documents within 21 days after Notice to Proceed (NTP). The 35% design must include complete and thorough detailing to leave no question as to how demolition and construction is intended. All design documents must be clearly annotated (in both title block and revision block of drawings) with “35% REVIEW SET” and the date.

2) 65% DESIGN SUBMITTAL: Contractor must submit 65% design documents within 21 days after receipt of the “Approved” 35% design. The 65% design must include complete and thorough detailing to leave no question as to how demolition and construction is intended. All design documents must be clearly annotated (in both title block and revision block of drawings) with “65% REVIEW SET” and the date.

3) 95% DESIGN SUBMITTAL: Contractor must submit 95% design documents within 21 days after receipt of the “Approved” 65% design. The 95% design (essentially complete design and drawings, pending review and acceptance by Government as the 100% APPROVED CONSTRUCTION SET) must include complete and thorough detailing to leave no question as to how assembly is intended. All design documents must be clearly annotated (in both title block and revision block of drawings) with “95% REVIEW SET” and the date.

4) 100% DESIGN/APPROVED CONSTRUCTION SET: Contractor must submit the 100% DESIGN APPROVED CONSTRUCTION SET within 14 days after Contractor receipt of the “Approved” 95% design. The construction set must incorporate and/or address any Government comments on the 95% design and should leave no question to how demolition and construction will be done. If professionally stamped and sealed drawings are required for this project (paragraph 3.2), the approved construction set must include all stamped drawings. All final design documents must be clearly annotated (in both title block and revision block of drawings) with “APPROVED CONSTRUCTION SET” and the date.

5) For each holiday or extraordinary event in a submittal period, increase the required days for submittal by one day for each day in the event. Deliver no submittals within (before or after): one week of Thanksgiving; two weeks of Christmas; or one week of New Year’s Day. Extraordinary Events include: unscheduled holidays for base personnel; base-wide training exercises; etc. The Government may prohibit work during such events.

3.6.3 PARTIAL SUBMISSIONS: Partial submissions normally will not be accepted. However, under some circumstances, to expedite project execution, the Government may accept design/shop drawings or material submittals for major elements or long-lead-time equipment for review and approvals prior to 95% design submittal. Government approval of such items does not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to ensure a complete, constructible, code-compliant design.

3.6.4 CONSTRUCTION PRIOR TO 100% DESIGN: Construction may not commence until Government approves the 100% design. Exception: To expedite contract completion, Contractor may petition CO for an Interim Notice to Proceed with specific elements of construction. Government review does not constitute approval or acceptance of any variations from this SOW, the Contractor’s Proposal, or the Contract unless authorized in writing by the CO. The Interim Notice to Proceed, if exercised, will in no way mitigate the responsibility of the Contractor to provide a complete, constructible, code-compliant design.

All drawings, specifications, design analyses and other project materials become the property of the Government.

3.7 DESIGN REVIEWS

3.7.1 DESIGN PHASE REVIEWS: Government review of each XX% design submittal (where XX = 95 or 100 as required per 3.6.2) will require up to fourteen (14) days after Government receipt. The Government will determine the sufficiency of each XX% design submittal as follows:

1) Approved as Submitted. If design is sufficient to proceed without correction to the next phase submittal, one (1) copy of AF FORM 3000 marked "Approved" will be returned to the Contractor.

Contractor must advance to the next stage design submittal.

2) Approved - Except as Noted. Design submittals that have only minor errors or deficiencies will be marked in red to indicate necessary corrections. Marked materials, along with one (1) copy of AF FORM 3000 indicating "Approved - Except as Noted" will be returned to the Contractor.

Contractor must revise the design documents, making the necessary corrections, and advance to the next stage design submittal.

3) Disapproved. Design submittals that are incomplete or require more than minor corrections will be marked in red to indicate necessary corrections. Marked materials, along with one (1) copy of AF FORM 3000 marked “Disapproved” will be returned to the Contractor. Contractor must revise the design documents, making the necessary corrections, and re-submit as the current stage “XX% Design – 2nd (or subsequent) Submittal”.

4) Disapproved – Major Deficiency. Examples include, but are not limited to, design submittals that fall significantly short of indicated level of completion, grossly deviate from or misinterpret the SOW, or contain errors of a nature or quantity that indicate failure of Contractor to review submittals for completeness, correctness, and coordination between trades. For such submittals, the Government will not complete a comprehensive review or provide an exhaustive list of needed corrections. Rather, one (1) copy of AF FORM 3000 marked “Disapproved – Major Deficiency” along with general reason(s) for disapproval will be returned to the contractor. The CO will issue a written warning to the Contractor that any subsequent grossly incorrect/incomplete submittals constitute evidence of inability to complete the project and may result in declaring the Contractor “In Default.” Contractor must correct deficiencies and resubmit as current stage “XX% Design – 2nd (or subsequent) Submittal”.

3.7.2 100% DESIGN REVIEW: The Government will have fourteen (14) days to verify that all review comments have been addressed and no unapproved changes have been made. Upon Government approval of the 100% design documents, the Contractor may begin construction.

3.7.3 IMPACT OF REVIEW ON PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Contract completion time includes time for Government review of drawings, specifications, and material submittals. Unless otherwise noted, the Government will use no more than 14 calendar days for review of each design submittal and each subsequent re-submittal of “Disapproved” submittals (paragraph 3.7.1, c or d). There will be no increase in the period of performance for review of re-submittals.

3.7.4 RESPONSE TO REVIEW COMMENTS: The Contractor is required to respond to all review comments and submit their annotated comments as a design analysis appendix in the subsequent design submittal. All comments must either be accepted and incorporated into the next design submittal or satisfactorily rebutted.

3.7.5 DESIGN ACCOUNTABILITY: The Contractor is solely responsible for accurately designing and constructing everything necessary to provide a fully functional product. Government approval of any design or design-related submittal does not waive or remove full liability from the Contractor to provide a design, facility, or final product that meets the intent of this SOW, performs as intended, and adheres to all applicable codes and standards.

3.8 CONFERENCES

3.8.1 PRECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE: A Preconstruction Conference (Pre-Con) will be held at the Contracting Office as indicated.

3.8.2 COORDINATION/REVIEW CONFERENCES: Coordination/review conferences may be held from time to time as required. The Contractor may request such conferences when it is deemed necessary by both parties to clarify the work or expedite the preparation of plans, specifications or construction.

3.8.3 REVIEW/CONFERENCE MINUTES: The Contractor will be responsible for making memoranda of record of any conversations and minutes of any meeting with Government personnel concerning this project and forward one copy of these memoranda/minutes to each party concerned and one copy to the Contracting Officer within seven (7) days. The final version of the meeting minutes will be approved and filed at the CO’s discretion. Each copy will be numbered consecutively and chronologically.

3.8.4 MEETING LOCATIONS: Meetings will be held in person at Columbus Air Force Base.

Contractor transportation costs for attending all conferences/reviews and meetings must be included in the Contractor’s Proposal. There will be no teleconferences unless permitted otherwise by the Contracting Officer.

Patch or replace portions of existing surfaces which are damaged or showing other imperfections. Finish surfaces as specified.

4.2.8 Airfield Waiver: The work will be done on or near an active airfield and special considerations apply for vehicle traffic control and work in the vicinity of the airfield. A FOD control plan must be established and maintained at all times. Vehicle operators must be trained on flight line driving procedures prior to entering the airfield. Disruptions to airfield activities must be scheduled with the Government in advance. The airfield is a controlled area; contractor shall comply with CAFB controlled area procedures. Coordinate with the Government and provide any assistance needed to prepare an Airfield Waiver. Work may not start on the airfield until the waivers are approved. Waiver information shall be supplied a minimum of 30 days before desired start date.

4.2.9 Welding Permits: No cutting or welding will be permitted without first obtaining a permit issued by the Base Fire Department. All fire and safety regulations are to be followed stringently. Contractor’s failure to obtain a cutting or welding permit may not be reason for extending the contract performance period. Any damages incurred while welding work is done without a permit are the responsibility of Contractor.

4.3 SCHEDULING

4.3.1 Contractor must coordinate all work schedules and manage progress of work with the CO and CEPM prior to start of work. Weekly progress meetings will be conducted with the CO, CMI, and Contractor’s team which may require corporate management representation at CAFB discretion.

4.3.2 Contractor must schedule all work. Performance periods must not be established or extended to accommodate insufficient personnel resources. Contractor will not move crews on and off the project while making minimal progress on concurrent projects as this must be construed as having an inadequate work force to fulfill the contract requirements. Contractor’s CPM and CSS must not change more than two (2) times during project construction as this would demonstrate an inadequate management force to fulfill contract requirements.

4.3.3 Before construction begins, Contractor must agree with CO on a sequence of procedures; means of access to premises and buildings; materials and equipment storage space; delivery of materials and use of approaches, corridors, and stairways. Contractor may be required to revise the CD work-phasing schedule.

4.3.4 Interference and inconvenience to Government operations and personnel caused by project work including use and delivery of materials, tools and equipment must be kept to a minimum.

4.3.5 The Government may require that work, so far as practicable, be done in separate phases. Each phase may relate to a different occupied or unoccupied area, in which work in one area must be completed before work in another area may begin. Phased work areas must be clearly delineated and annotated in the CDs.

4.3.6 Hours of Work: Normal work hours will be Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 4:15pm excepting days observed as Federal Holidays as listed below:

New Year’s Day 1 January Martin Luther King’s Birthday Third Monday in January President’s Day Third Monday in February Memorial Day Last Monday in May Juneteenth Day 19 June Independence Day 4 July Labor Day First Monday in September Columbus Day Second Monday in October Veterans Day 11 November Thanksgiving Day Fourth Thursday in November Christmas Day 25 December

2) For weekend, after hours, or holiday work, submit a 72 hour advance written request to the CO, describing dates, locations, and types of work. CAFB has the right to approve or deny the request.

Work in CAFB occupied areas during extra-normal work hours require AF escorts in the occupied areas. Modification to contract sum or period of performance will not be allowed.

3) The Government’s request for Contractor to work outside of the normal duty hours must be justification for modification to contract sum or period of performance.

4) If CAFB observes an unscheduled holiday, participates in training exercises, etc. Contractor may be prohibited from working for part or the whole of a day. 14CES does not know how many or when these activities might be scheduled but anticipate not less than two per year. CMI will allow additional contract time for these disruptions. Zero-cost modification to period of performance will be allowed.

4.3.7 Construction Schedule: Submit preliminary schedule to the CO at the Preconstruction Meeting, but not later than fourteen (14) days after issuance of Notice to Proceed. After CAFB review and comment, revise and resubmit schedule within seven (7) days. Upon approval by the CO, the schedule becomes the official Construction Progress Schedule. Keep a copy available at Contractor (field) Office. This schedule will only be changed with prior approval of the CO through a contract Modification.

4.3.8 Construction Progress Schedule: Submit and maintain an accurate and current Gantt chart to track construction progress with a separate horizontal line for each major work activity of subcontractors, manufacturers, and suppliers. Vertical lines must identify the first workday of each week. Show complete sequence of construction by activity, identifying separate stages of work and other logically grouped activities. Indicate early and late start, early and late finish, float dates, and duration of each activity.

Revise chart weekly to accurately identify progress made, percentage completion, and projected completion date for each activity. Show activities modified and scope changes. Submit written report to identify problems, anticipated delays, corrective actions, and affected completion dates. Provide additional progress schedule information as requested by the CMI. Construction progress schedule update forms will be provided at the preconstruction conference.

4.5 MATERIAL SUBMITTALS AND SHOP DRAWINGS

4.5.1 Definitions: A submittal is a package of project information, samples, drawings, schedules, certifications, product data, etc., submitted to the Contracting Officer for Government review. A deviation is a submittal wherein Contractor identifies an item that is in agreement with the intent of the Contract Documents, but does not precisely conform to those documents and Contractor requests either substitution or change for the purpose of increasing the quality of the final product. A Submittal or Deviation of a system must be considered as an integrated collection of component parts.

4.5.2 Purpose: Submittals formalize Government review of Contractor choices in complying with the CDs and providing Minimum Installer Qualifications (Section 4.8.1). They also formalize Contractor’s proposed Deviations, color choices, shop drawings, etc. early enough in the contract time when changes will have less impact on the ordering of materials and products.

4.5.3 Accountability: Contractor is wholly responsible for the contents of a submittal. Contractor by act of submittal certify that all items listed or implied, fully meet the intent, materiality and requirements of the design, quality, and functionality of the CDs. Neither Contractor furnishing nor Government approval of a submittal either suspends or waives Contractor responsibility for full compliance with the CDs. This includes materials, equipment, equipment sizing, performance, etc. The Contractor maintains sole responsibility for providing a fully functional product that meets the intent of this SOW, performs as intended, and adheres to all applicable codes and standards.

4.5.4 Basic Compliance: Comply with all “Material Submittals and Shop Drawings” requirements of the SOW. All submittals must be delivered to the Contracting Officer within twenty-one (21) days of approval of the 100% design unless otherwise specified by the CO. Failure to deliver all submittals within this time period constitutes basis for the CO to refuse Progress Payments until all submittals are delivered to the CO.

4.5.5 Submittals must be accurate, easily legible, with all detail necessary for a thorough review. Every copy of Product data must clearly identify proposed models, options, and relevant design data including physical, functional, and utility connection requirements. Where practicable, render manufacturer data specific to this Project.

4.5.6 Contractor must review, approval stamp and sign every submittal before delivery to the CO. Each submittal package and shop drawing sheet must bear appropriate Design Professional(s) stamps and approval signatures before delivery to the CO. Each submittal must be attached to a Material Approval Submittal (MAS) Form (AF Form 3000). Upon Government review, one copy of each submittal will be returned with its MAS form marked to indicate approval or disapproval.

4.5.7 Government Review: Contractor must deliver two (2) copies of each submittal. Contractor must allow fourteen (14) days for government review excluding delivery time from and to Contractor.

4.5.8 Submittal Log: Contractor must during the design phase of the project log all construction submittals required by completing a “Schedule of Material Submittals” (AF Form 66). The form must include all submittals necessary to insure the project is built to the satisfaction of CAFB including shop drawings, manufacturer's literature, product data, certificates of compliance, material samples, finish samples, extensions to the design, guarantees, test results, etc. The CO will provide Contractor with an AF form 66 template. Contractor must complete and submit the AF Form 66 in MS-Excel electronic format and in hard-copy format to the CO for review and approval by the CEPM within fourteen (14) days upon issuance of the NTP. Form 66 will be the first submittal item and must be attached to its own (MAS) form. Place the entire Submittal Log in an appendix of the final specifications.

4.5.9 Proposed Products and Qualified Installers List: Within 28 days after Notice to Proceed is issued, submit list of major products proposed for use, with manufacturer name, trade name, model or catalog number designation, and reference standards (for products specified only by reference standards) of each product.

4.5.10 Material Approval Submittal: The CO will provide Contractor with MAS form template. Each MAS form must be attached to one and only one submittal item. Multiple submittal items on a single MAS form will be rejected without review. The MAS “Submission Number” must be the same as its corresponding “Item No.” in the Submittal Log. Each submittal must reference the specifications paragraph or the drawing sheet number where the submittal is required. Clearly mark an MAS form “DEVIATION” for any whole system or any part thereof to which the Deviation applies. The Deviation must be reviewed by the CEPM.

4.5.11 Re-Submittals: Resubmitted MAS forms must bear the original “submission number” with an alphabetic suffix (sequenced for multiple re-submittals). Identify all changes made since the previous submission. Allow fourteen (14) days for Government review excluding delivery time from and to Contractor.

4.5.12 Materials, Finishes, Patterns, Textures, Colors, etc.: Submit samples of all visible exterior or interior finish items including: surfaces, materials,…
