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:

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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”.

9. 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.

4.2.1 Contractor must start design and various construction phases at times specified by CO issued Notice(s) to Proceed (NTP), prosecute the work, and complete the entire work within the Period of Performance.

4.2.2 Contractor must provide a Submittal Log (Schedule of Material Submittals), Progress Schedules, Progress reports and Status Reports.

13. Submittal Log: See Material Submittals and Shop Drawings below.

14. Progress Schedule: (AF Form 3064) Submit the progress schedule to the CO within 10 days after contract award, unless otherwise specified by the CO. Subdivide total schedule into individual work items. Show completed work percentages at the end of each two-week reporting period. Progress schedule should only be resubmitted during the project duration if there’s an issue with Period of Performance or if deemed necessary by the CO as described in 4.2.2.3.

15. Progress Reports: (AF Form 3065) Submit Project Progress reports to the CO minimum twice per month on the first working day of each month and again on the 15th. Describe the percentage of work completed during the report period. If behind schedule, report in writing what actions will be taken to regain the schedule. If the CO agrees to add days to the contract performance period, Contractor must provide an amended schedule.

16. Status Reports: Submit to the CO daily reports of the work status. In each report, list the tasks accomplished for that day, any deliveries received, equipment currently on-site, weather conditions for that day, and number of personnel working on each area listed by trade. Photos may be included.

4.2.3 Period of Performance: Is the period between the issuance of the NTP and the time all construction is complete, including all punch list items, and final inspection is approved by the Government. The total Period of Performance for this project is 365 days.

4.2.4 Contract Completion: At contract conclusion, vacate all work areas, including: Contractor offices, storage and staging areas, and individual work sites. Restore these areas to their condition prior to Contractor occupancy not more than 14 days from the earlier of: approved final inspection or CO notification.

4.2.5 Coordination and Project Conditions: Schedule and manage submittals, materials, products, equipment, manpower, etc. to control all parts of the work efficiently and orderly. Verify compatibility of existing building utilities with new operating equipment. Coordinate required space, supports, and mechanical and electrical work shown (even if via diagrams) on Drawings. Follow routing shown for pipes, ducts, and conduit; place runs parallel with building lines. Use space efficiently to maximize maintenance and for repair accessibility for other systems. Conceal wiring behind finish surfaces and locate fixtures and outlets with finish elements. Coordinate pre-Substantial Completion clean-up in separate building areas.

After CAFB occupancy, coordinate site access to correct defective (or non-compliant with CDs) to minimize disruption of Government activities.

4.2.6 Cutting and Patching: Only employ skilled and experienced workers to cut and patch. Report in writing to the CO wherever cutting and patching might degrade: safety; appearance, structure, weatherproofing, O&M, or separate Contractor or government construction. Prevent damage to existing or new construction and provide proper surfaces to receive patching and finishing. Match new finishes to existing adjacent surfaces unless noted otherwise. Maintain integrity of existing walls, ceilings, or floors;

completely seal voids. Refinish entire assemblies and continuous surfaces to nearest intersection. Cut, fit, and patch where CDs require e.g.: mechanical and electrical penetrations; integration of new components with one another or with existing construction; removal and replacement of defective and non-conforming elements; remove samples for testing.

4.2.7 Special Procedures: Employ skilled and experienced tradespersons to perform alteration work.

Remove debris from open work areas and concealed spaces. Remove, cut, and patch to minimize damage and provide means of restoring products and finishes to original or specified condition.

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

4.2.8 Airfield Waiver: Airfield waiver is not required for this project.

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…
