12.8 Percent Complete

The Contractor shall update the percent complete for each activity started, based on the realistic assessment of earned value. Activities which are complete, except for any remaining minor punch list work, and which do not restrain the initiation of successor activities, may be declared 100 percent complete to allow for proper schedule management.

12.9 Remaining Duration

The Contractor shall update the remaining duration for each activity based on the number of estimated work days it will take to complete the activity. Remaining duration may not mathematically correlate with percentage found under paragraph entitled Percent Complete.

12.10 Cost Loading of Closeout Activities

LHE mishap using the Crane High Hazard working group mishap reporting form.

16.0 ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN (APP)

16.1. General

A qualified person must prepare the written site-specific APP. The qualified person shall prepare the

APP in accordance with the format and requirements of EM 385-1-1, Appendix A, and as supplemented herein. The APP shall cover all paragraph and subparagraph elements in EM 385-1-1, Appendix A. The

APP must be job-specific and address any unusual or unique aspects of the project or activity for which it is written. The APP must interface with the Contractor's overall safety and health program referenced in the APP in the applicable APP element, and must be site-specific. The APP shall describe the methods to evaluate past safety performance of potential subcontractors in the selection process. The APP must also describe innovative methods used to ensure and monitor safe work practices of subcontractors. The

Government considers the Prime Contractor to be the "controlling authority" for all work site safety and health of the subcontractors. The Contractor is responsible for informing their subcontractors of the safety provisions under the terms of the contract and the penalties for noncompliance, coordinating the work to prevent one craft from interfering with or creating hazardous working conditions for other crafts, and inspecting subcontractor operations to ensure that accident prevention responsibilities are being carried out. The APP must be signed by an officer of the firm (Prime Contractor senior person), the individual preparing the APP, the on-site superintendent, the designated Site safety and Health Officer

(SSHO), the Contractor Quality Control Manager, and any designated Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or Certified Health Physicist (CIH). The Site safety and Health Officer (SSHO) must provide and maintain the APP and a log of signatures by each subcontractor foreman, attesting that they have read and understand the APP, and make the APP and log available on-site to the Contracting Officer. If English is not the foreman's primary language, the Prime Contractor must provide an interpreter.

The Contractor shall submit the APP to the Contracting Officer 15 calendar days prior to the date of the preconstruction conference for acceptance. Work cannot proceed without an accepted APP. Once the

APP has been reviewed and accepted by the Contracting Officer, the APP and attachments will be enforced as part of the contract. Disregarding the provisions of this contract or the accepted APP is cause for stopping of work, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, until the matter has been rectified. The

APP shall be continuously reviewed and amended, as necessary, throughout the life of the contract.

Changes to the accepted APP must be made with the knowledge and concurrence of the Contracting

Officer, project superintendent, Site safety and Health Officer (SSHO) and Quality Control Manager.

The Contractor shall incorporate unusual or high-hazard activities not identified in the original APP as they are discovered. Should any severe hazard exposure (i.e. imminent danger) become evident, the

Contractor shall stop work in the area, secure the area, and develop a plan to remove the exposure and control the hazard. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer within 24 hours of discovery and eliminate and remove the hazard. In the interim, the Contractor shall take all necessary actions to restore and maintain safe working conditions in order to safeguard onsite personnel, visitors, the public (as defined by ASSP A10.34), and the environment.
