1.3 DESIGN PHASE:

The Design Phase for this project will be broken into two parts:

Part I (Base Bid)- Design of Distribution System for the Steam Lines and Underground Connecting Gallery 1 and the Asbestos Survey of the Steam Lines.

Part II (Options) - Design of the New Building, Underground Connecting Gallery 2, Compressed Air Generation and Distribution System;

Asbestos Survey for the Remaining Facility, Design of the Potable Water Distribution System; and Design Four New Stair Structures.

During the Design Phase for each part, the Contractor shall develop and submit for review and comment by the Government Quality Control Plan, 50% Design Analysis, Asbestos Assessment Plan, 100% Design Analysis, the 50% Design Submittal; Plans and Specifications, the 95% Design Submittal; Plans and Specifications and the 100% Design Submittal; Plans and Specifications.

The 100% Design Analysis shall be submitted for review with the 50% Design Submittal; Plans and Specifications.

The 100% Design Submittal shall be submitted by the Design Build firm for review by the Government to insure all comments have been resolved and incorporated. Once the Government determines all comments have been resolved it will notify the Design Build firm that the design plans and specifications are ready to be Released for Construction of each part.

1.4 CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

The Construction Phase for this project is divided into two parts:

Part I -

a. Construct Steam Lines at the MacArthur Lock

b. Construct Steam Lines (north of the north wall of the

SECTION 01 04 00 Page 2

MacArther Lock) and the Underground Connecting Gallery 1.

Part II - Construct Options: Construct New Building, Underground Connecting Gallery 2, Compressed Air Generation and Distribution Systems; Construct Water Distribution System; and Construct Four Stair Structures.

A Released for Construction letter for each part will be provided to the Design Build contractor. Each letter will initiate the Construction Phase for its part. The issue of the letter normally occurs within two weeks of the Design Phase approval.

Part I Construction

The construction of the Steam Lines at the MacArther Lock (Part I a.) must be completed by February 26, 2010. The lines must be fully operational by February 26, 2010.

The existing steamlines at the Poe Lock must remain operational until April 15, 2010.

The construction of the steam lines along with the underground connecting gallery 1 (Part I b.) must be completed by November 1, 2010.

PART II Construction

The existing air distribution system cannot be disrupted between November 1 and April 15. Air flow to the locks must be available during that time frame.

Water service to the facility must not be interrupted for more than a twelve hour period during non-peak work hours. A 72 hour notice to the COR will be required prior to shut-down. It must be completed in accordance with Section 01 32 01, Project Schedule. If more than a twelve hour period is required, temporary facilities and potable water must be provided at the Administration Building, the Davis Building and the Shelters.

The schedule and sequence of work shown below is prepared by the government for the contractor's use in schedule preparation. This schedule is not intended to be the actual awarded design-build schedule. Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed for Design, the selected contractor will be required to submit two proposed design and construction schedules. Schedule 1 will be required for Part I - the Design and Construction of the Steam Lines and Underground Connecting Gallery 1 (Base Bid). Schedule 2 will be for the design and construction of both Part I and Part II consisting of the Base Bid with all options. The schedules will be completed in accordance with Section 01 32 01, Project Schedule, based on their resources and approach for this project. Government performance and review periods can not be altered in the contractor's proposed schedule.
