G. Phasing:

The Medical Center intends to fully vacate B26 during construction;

however, it is anticipated that the building will still be partially occupied when Notice to Proceed is issued. Notice to Proceed for this project will be issued with the following limitations:

• The contractor shall not be provided full access to the building until 60 days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed, during which time the Medical Center will complete evacuation of remaining occupants from the building.

• The contractor shall not commence with any construction activities, including mobilization, during this 60 day interim.

• The contractor is encouraged during this time to prepare and provide technical submittals, construction phasing plans, the schedule of values, construction schedules, safety plans, the commissioning plan, and all other relevant plans, schedules and submittals.

• The contractor will be provided, if requested, limited access during this time solely for the purpose of verifying existing conditions and taking measurements. Any access during this time, which will be limited, must be coordinated through the COR.

• At its sole discretion, the Medical Center may lift the restriction on full and complete access prior to the end of the 60

01 00 00 - 8 day period if the building is completely vacated of occupants at an earlier date.

The Medical Center must maintain its operation 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
