1.1 SUMMARY

The surface conditions indicated on the contract drawings and in the specifications are the result of site surveys and test pits. Copies of the logs of test pit explorations and locations at the site where subsurface investigations were performed are attached to the appendix binder and shown on the contract drawings.

1.2 REFERENCES

The publications listed below form a part of this specification to the extent referenced. The publications are referenced to in the text by basic designation only.

ASTM INTERNATIONAL (ASTM)

ASTM D 2488 (2017) Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure)

1.3 EXAMINATION OF SAMPLES

Subsurface explorations were performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Pertinent subsurface information is attached to this section of the specifications.

1.4 SOIL CLASSIFICATION

The soil classification of the USACE soil samples was performed in accordance with ASTM D 2488 in the field.

a. Refer to Section 01 22 00, MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT for bidding requirements.

1.6 OPERATIONS AND STORAGE AREAS (FAR 52.236-10)

a. The Contractor shall confine all operations (including storage of materials) on Government premises to areas authorized or approved by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall hold and save the Government, its officers and agents, free and harmless from liability of any nature occasioned by the Contractor's performance.

b. Temporary buildings (e.g., storage sheds, shops, offices) and utilities may be erected by the Contractor only with the approval of the Contracting Officer and shall be built with labor and materials furnished by the Contractor without expense to the Government. The temporary buildings and utilities shall remain the property of the Contractor and shall be removed by the Contractor at its expense upon completion of the work.

c. The Contractor shall, under regulations prescribed by the Contracting

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 3

Officer, use only established roadways, or use temporary roadways constructed by the Contractor when and as authorized by the Contracting Officer. When materials are transported in prosecuting the work, vehicles shall not be loaded beyond the loading capacity recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle or prescribed by any Federal, State, or local law or regulation. When it is necessary to cross curbs or sidewalks, the Contractor shall protect them from damage. The Contractor shall repair or pay for the repair of any damaged curbs, sidewalks, or roads.

d. Working space and space available for storing materials shall be as shown on the drawings.

e. Workers are subject to rules of Medical Center applicable to their conduct.

f. Execute work in such a manner as to interfere as little as possible with work being done by others. Keep roads clear of construction materials, debris, standing construction equipment and vehicles at all times. Execute all work such that road closures are limited to one lane at a time. Lane closure sequencing and durations shall be clearly identified in the Traffic Control Plan and Construction Phasing Plan submitted for review and approval.

g. Execute work so as to interfere as little as possible with normal functioning of Medical Center as a whole, including operations of utility services, fire protection systems and any existing equipment, and with work being done by others. Use of equipment and tools that transmit vibrations and noises through the building structure, are not permitted in buildings that are occupied, during construction, jointly by patients or medical personnel, and Contractor's personnel, except as permitted by Contracting Officer where required by limited working space.

(1) Do not store materials and equipment in other than assigned areas.

(2) Schedule delivery of materials and equipment to immediate construction working areas or assigned storage areas between the hours of 7pm to 6am. and limit deliveries so they do not impede Medical Center traffic or ongoing operations. Provide unobstructed access to Medical Center areas required to remain in operation.

(3) Where access by Medical Center personnel to vacated portions of buildings is not required, storage of Contractor's materials and equipment will be permitted subject to fire and safety requirements and Contracting Officer approval.

h. Phasing:

(1) The Medical Center must maintain its operation 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Therefore, any interruption in service must be scheduled and coordinated with the Contracting Officer, as identified in Section 01 14 00 WORK RESTRICTIONS and on the phasing drawings, to ensure that no lapses in operation occur. It is the CONTRACTOR'S responsibility to develop a work plan, phasing and subphasing plans and detailed construction schedule , at a minimum, the procedures to be employed, the equipment and materials to be used, the interim life safety measure to be used

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 4 during the work, and a schedule defining the duration of the work with milestone subtasks. The work to be outlined shall include, but not be limited to: Access and egress to and from existing buildings, fire truck access to all fire hydrants and buildings, utility shutdowns, off-hours work, sidewalk closures or re-routes/detours and road closures.

(2) To ensure such executions, Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer with a schedule of approximate phasing dates on which the Contractor intends to accomplish work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof.
