ISO personnel will be available for regulatory compliance advice on any particular safety problem that may arise during normal course of operation.

c. Before work under the contract is started, the contractor's safety representative shall report to the ISO located on the First Floor of Building 305 for familiarization with safety requirements. The safety representative shall maintain an accurate record of and shall report to the ISO exposure data and accidents resulting in death, traumatic injury, occupational disease and/or damage to property, materials, supplies and equipment incident to work performed under the contract. The contractor shall submit for review to the Installation Safety Division an accident prevention plan meeting all of the requirements outlined in EM 385-1-1. No mobilization will be allowed until the plan is accepted by the designated Installation Safety Division representative.

d. The Contracting Officer shall notify the contractor of any noncompliance with the foregoing provisions and action to be taken. The contractor shall, after receipt of such notices, immediately correct the conditions. Such notice, when delivered to the contractor or his representative at the site of work, shall be deemed to be sufficient for this purpose. If the contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly, the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. The contractor shall make any part of the time lost due to any such stop order subject of claim for excess costs or damages.

e. Confined space work shall not be performed without appropriate monitoring and approval of an entry permit under provisions of 29 CFR 1910.146 and APG Regulation 385-4.

f. Work requiring control of hazardous energy shall be performed IAW 29 CFR 1910.147 and APG Regulation 385-4. Any construction work that takes place above electrical conductors or service lines to a building will require an outage, regardless of the distance of the work area from the conductors.

GC-14. SUBMITTAL REGISTER AND PROGRESS SCHEDULES: The Contractor shall prepare a submittal register of all items required under the contract. The contractor shall prepare a schedule in accordance with Contract Clause entitled "Schedule For Construction Contracts" (FAR 52.236-15) which shows milestones and intervals for contract completion. The register and schedule shall be delivered to the Contracting Officer within ten (10) calendar days after the contractor's receipt of "Notice to Proceed".

GC-15. UNABSORBED OVERHEAD DELAY DAMAGES:

a. Compensation for unabsorbed overhead incurred in a delay during which the contractor is forced to stand by, whether calculated by the Eichleay Formula or any other method, is not automatic. During any such delay, it is the duty of the contractor to seek out new contracts or additional work opportunities to mitigate delay damages. To substantiate entitlement to unabsorbed overhead damages, the contractor must first demonstrate the nature of the delay that made it impractical to mitigate delay damages by undertaking new work.

b. In submitting any claim for delay damages for unabsorbed overhead, regardless of length of delay, the contractor shall list all work performed during the delay period. This list shall include date of each contract or agreement, the period of performance and any other information required by the Contracting Officer.

c. In submitting any claim for delay damages for unabsorbed overhead, the contractor must prove all opportunities, prime or sub-contract, bonded or unbonded, it could have undertaken but for the delay. The parties to this contract agree that if no additional work opportunities arise during any delay period in excess of 14 days, under absorption of overhead would be caused by lack of opportunity and not the delay under this contract. In the absence of opportunity to take on additional work, the contractor will be entitled to no additional unabsorbed overhead costs under this contract.

d. In the event new work opportunities do arise during a compensable delay, the contractor will provide notice to the Contracting Officer of such new contracts or other additional work opportunities as they become available during the delay period. The Government will be liable for no unabsorbed overhead costs that arise during the delay period in the absence of an opportunity to adjust the performance schedule to enable avoidance of such costs.

GC-16. UTILITY OUTAGES:

a. General: All utility service outages shall be at the convenience of the Government, and will normally be scheduled during off-duty hours or weekends. Outages shall be requested in writing to the Contracting Officer no less than three weeks (21 days) in advance.

b. Electrical: Work on high voltage primary lines shall be accomplished while lines are de-energized and grounds are in place. If, due to extenuating circumstances, this is not practical, permission must be requested in writing through the COR and the Installation Safety Office (ISO), to allow work while energized or hot. The request shall include a specific Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) which outlines in detail why the work can only be performed while the conductors are energized and shall outline in detail the procedures to be followed to perform the work, In addition to the normal procedures, the emergency procedures to be followed shall be outlined as well. If permitted, contractor shall be subject to all OSHA requirements for equipment and worker protection.

GC-17. WARRANTIES: Before final acceptance, the contractor shall provide to the COR a list showing all products and installed equipment that are covered by warranties, and the length of time the warranty is in effect.

GC-18. WATER SUPPLY: A vacuum breaker or appropriate backflow prevention device shall separate any temporary or permanent connection to the potable water supply. The vacuum breaker shall be in accordance with the National Plumbing Code and the American Water Works Association. See Section 01561, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, Water and/or Sewer Lines, for additional information.

GC-19.

Prior to performing work during hours other than those specified, the contractor shall obtain the permission of the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative. Normally, requests for permission to work during hours other than those specified should be submitted no less than 24 hours prior to the time the contractor desires to perform such work.

GC-20. WORKSITE APPEARANCE AND SECURITY: Contractor shall maintain worksite in a reasonably neat appearance. This shall be done by daily cleanups of the worksite. Contractor is responsible to secure all tools and materials at the close of business. The Contractor shall protect all construction materials from exposure to the elements. The Contractor shall ensure that, at the end of the work shift, the building exterior doors/windows are secure to prevent access to the building interior. This requirement applies to all jobsites, including those within restricted areas of APG.
