SECTION 01 12 00 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

Part 1 GENERAL

1.1 PERMITS:

1.1.1 The Contractor shall contact Kansas One-Call at phone number 811 for utility location services. If utility services, such as communication lines and/or local utility lines are within the work area(s), it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to coordinate with them.

1.1.2 The following are known to have active utility services on Ft. Riley:

1.2 STAKING:

1.2.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for the staking of privately owned utility services.

1.2.2 The Contractor shall be responsible for all construction surveying required for completion of an individual task order. Costs associated with construction staking shall be paid for under the bid item Contractor Construction Staking General or Bridge detailed in KDOT Std. Spec. 802.3c. General category shall be measured and paid for by the square yard amount of constructed concrete or asphalt paved surface including curb and gutter. Bridge category shall be paid for by the square yard amount of completed bridge surface between the two edge of wear surfaces on the bridge. Benchmark Monuments shall be paid for under KDOT Std. Spec. 802.4.

1.3 VERIFICATION OF EXISTING UTILITIES

1.3.1 The Contractor shall obtain services to verify the location and elevation of all privately, publicly or cooperatively owned lines, facilities and systems for producing, transmitting or distributing communications, power, electricity, light, heat, gas, oil, crude products, water, steam, waste, storm water, and other similar commodities, including fire and police signal systems and street lighting systems which directly or indirectly serve the public within the limits of the excavation site. The costs associated with this requirement shall be subsidiary to other bid items.

1.4 DAMAGE TO EXISTING UTILITIES:

1.4.1 The Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer's Representative and applicable utility company of any damage to existing utilities. If the damage was due to the Contractor's negligence, repairs to damaged utilities shall be made according to the applicable owner's requirements at the Contractor's expense and at no additional cost to the owner or the Government.

1.4.2 The Contractor is not considered negligent in damaging Government owned utilities if the Contractor followed the above procedure and the utility was more than three (3) feet on either side of the location shown and/or if the utility was not shown.

1.4.3 It is the Contractor's responsibility to settle any claims for damage to any non-government owned utility systems.

1.5 EXCAVATION AND UTILITY CLEARANCE COORDINATION:

1.5.1 To assist the Contractor, available as-built drawings of the existing utility systems may be obtained by the Contractor from the Public Works, Engineering Division, Project Management Branch, Building 408, Fort Riley, Kansas between the hours of 7:30 A.M. and 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, Federal holidays excluded.

1.5.2 The exact locations of the various underground utility systems are tentative and may be incorrect. Therefore, the Contractor shall be responsible for verifying (see paragraph 1.3 above) the exact locations of these various utility systems within 3 feet of where they have been located. The Contractor shall be held responsible for any property damage to these underground utility systems, and any resulting injury or death, if the underground utility systems are damaged or ruptured because of their actions.

1.5.3 The Contractor shall be responsible for performing excavation work without interruption of existing underground utility systems, unless otherwise indicated in the task order and specifications.

1.6 WORK REQUIREMENTS:

1.6.1 Military mission requirements, unique to a military installation and not found in the public sector, which may be unknown during development and before award of this contract; and which may arise subsequent to award of this contract, may affect the accomplishment of work during a normal 40-hour work week. Should a mission requirement occur, the Contracting Officer will adjust the rate of performance to compensate for any time lost.

1.6.2 Approval of work other than during the work hours established will be based upon technical or safety factors, and not at the convenience of the Contractor. This is not intended to restrict the Contractor if the part of the project engaged in on a certain day requires continuous work until completed because of the technical nature of it, or in the interest of safety, or to prevent damage to the project or other property. The Contractor shall give prior notice of such a requirement to the Contracting Officer’s Representative. If Saturday, Sunday or holiday work is required, the Contractor shall make their request in writing to the Contracting Officer not less than forty-eight (48) hours in advance so that arrangements may be made to provide inspection of the work if it is approved by the Government.

1.7 AIRFIELD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

1.7.1 The operation of all ground equipment (mobile or stationary), the placement of all materials, and the performance of all work, upon and near all airfields, shall be done according to section 1.6. Requirements of this section are in addition to any other safety requirements of this contract. Point of contact is Airfield Base Operations, 239-2530, located in Bldg. 743.

1.7.2 Contractor personnel shall be required to take a onetime 15 min class on airfield safety. Airfield Base Operations may issue a radio for usage on the Airfield. Contractor shall be held responsible for replacing any damaged or lost radios at no expense to the government.

1.7.3 For the purpose of section 1.6, the following definitions shall apply:

1.7.3.1 Landing areas means the following:

1.7.3.1.1 The “primary surfaces” comprise the surface of the runways, the runway shoulders, and the lateral safety zones. The length of the primary surface is 1,000 feet (500 feet on each side of the runway centerline); and

1.7.3.1.2 The "clear zones" beyond the ends of each runway, i.e., the extension of the "primary surface" for a distance of 200 feet beyond each end of each runway; and

1.7.3.1.3 All taxiways plus the lateral clearance zones along each side for the length of the taxiways (the outer edge of each lateral clearance zone is laterally 250 feet from the far or opposite edge of the taxiway, i.e., a 75 foot wide taxiway would have a combined width of taxiway and lateral clearance zones of 425 feet); and

1.7.3.1.4 All aircraft parking aprons, plus the area 125 feet in width extending beyond each edge all around the aprons.

1.7.4 Safety precaution area means those portions of approach-departure clearance zones and transitional zones where placement of objects incident to contract performance might result in vertical projections at or above the approach-departure clearance surface or the transitional surface.

1.7.4.1 The "approach-departure clearance surface" is an extension of the primary surface and the clear zone at each end of each runway, for a distance of 50,000 feet, first along an inclined plane (glide angle) and then along a horizontal plane, both flaring symmetrically about the runway centerline extended. The inclined plane (glide angle) begins in the clear zone 200 feet past the end of the runway (and primary surface) at the same elevation as the end of the runway, and continues upward at a slope of 50:1 (one foot vertically for each 50 feet horizontally) to an elevation of 200 feet above the established airfield elevation; continuing at a slope of 40:1 to a point 50,000 feet longitudinally from the beginning of the inclined plane (glide angle) and ending there. The width of the surface at the beginning of the inclined plane (glide angle) is the same as the width of the clear zone; thence it flares uniformly, reaching a maximum width of 16,000 feet at the end.

1.7.4.2 The "approach-departure clearance zone" is the ground area under the approach-departure clearance surface.

1.7.4.3 The "transitional surface" is a sideways extension of all primary surfaces, clear zones, and approach-departure clearance surfaces along inclined planes. The inclined plane in each case begins at the edge of the surface. Slope of the inclined plane is 7:1 (one foot vertically for each 7 feet horizontally), and it continues to the point of intersection with the inner horizontal surface (which is the horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airfield elevation) or the outer horizontal surface (which is the horizontal plane 500 feet above the established airfield elevation), whichever is applicable.

1.7.4.4 The "transitional zone" is the ground area under the transitional surface. It adjoins the primary surface, clear zone and approach-departure clearance zone.

1.7.5 The Contractor shall report to the Contracting Officer’s Representative before initiating any work and shall notify him of proposed changes of locations and operations.

1.7.6 Neither equipment nor personnel shall use any runway for purposes other than aircraft operation without permission of the Airfield Duty Officer unless the runway is closed by order of the Airfield Duty Officer and marked as provided in paragraph 1.7.7.1 below.

1.7.7 The Contractor shall place nothing upon the landing areas without authorization of the Contracting Officer’s Representative and Airfield Duty Officer.

1.7.7.1 Unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer’s Representative and Airfield Duty Officer, the Contractor shall outline those landing areas hazardous to aircraft, with red flags by day, and with electric, battery-operated, low-intensity red flasher lights by night.

1.7.7.2 Before entering any landing area at an airfield where flying is controlled, additional permission shall be obtained every time from the control tower operator via radio, unless the landing area is marked as hazardous to aircraft according to paragraph 1.6.5.1 above.

1.7.7.3 All vehicles that the Contractor operates in landing areas shall be identified by means of a flag on a staff attached to and flying above the vehicle. The flag shall be three feet square and shall consist of a checkered pattern of international orange and white squares of one foot on each side (the flag may vary up to 10 percent from each of these dimensions).

1.7.7.4 Unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), all other equipment and materials in the landing areas shall be marked with red flags by day and with electric, battery-operated, low-intensity red flasher lights by night.

1.7.7.5 Work in progress shall be managed so as to leave that portion of the landing area that is available to aircraft free from hazards, holes, piles of material, and projecting shoulders that might damage an airplane tire.

1.7.8 The Contractor shall place nothing upon the safety precaution areas without authorization of the COR and the Airfield Duty Officer.

1.7.8.1 Unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer’s Representative and Airfield Duty Officer, all equipment and materials in safety precaution areas shall be marked with red flags by day, and with electric, battery-operated, low-intensity red flasher lights by night.

1.7.8.2 All objects placed in safety precaution areas, which project above the approach- departure clearance surface or above the transitional surface, must be provided at night with a red light or red lantern.

1.7.9 The Contractor shall keep all paved surfaces such as runways, taxiways, and hardstands, clean and free from foreign objects of debris that might damage aircraft propellers or jet aircraft engines.

1.7.10 While work is being performed on the airfield by the Contractor, the operation of mobile equipment shall be governed by the safety provisions above. At all other times all mobile equipment shall be removed to locations approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative at a distance of at least 750 feet from the runway centerline plus any additional distance necessary to assure compliance with other provisions of this clause.

1.7.11 Only those trenches may be opened for which material is on hand and ready for placing therein. When practicable after material has been placed, and work approved, trenches shall be backfilled and compacted as required by the contract. Meanwhile, all hazardous conditions shall be marked and lighted in accordance with the other provisions of this clause.

1.8 Existing Signs

1.8.1 Prior to beginning work on an individual task order, the Contractor shall identify all existing signs that need to be removed for construction. The Contractor shall be responsible for removing and re-installing these signs to their original location, or to a location identified by the COR. All costs for removing and re-installing signs will be considered subsidiary to other bid items. During construction, the Contractor is responsible for securing these signs and protecting them from damage. Locations of new signs shall be provided to the COR within 30 business days.
