Temporary wiring must be secured above the ground or floor in a workmanlike manner and must not present an obstacle to persons or equipment. Open wiring may only be used outside of buildings, and then only in strict accordance with the provisions of the National Electrical Code.

1.6.3 Circuit Protection

In addition to the present requirements in EM 385-1-1 and NFPA 70, all 15 and 20-ampere receptacle outlets used for obtaining power during construction must have ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) for

01 00 00 - 3 personnel protection. Block and brick saws must also be equipped with GFCI. The Contracting Officer may allow an exception to this requirement for circuits for concrete vibrators or circuits operating at other than 60 Hertz normal (in both cases an assured grounding program as described in the NFPA 70, except utilizing the daily inspection frequency of the grounding means of such equipment, may be permitted). The assured grounding program will not be permitted as a substitute for usage of GFCI'S except as described above. All generator-powered 15- and 20-ampere, 60 Hertz receptacle outlets must have GFCI'S, and must be properly grounded.

Provide a testing means which will impose a measured fault of 5 milliamperes, plus or minus 1 milliamperes, and result in tripping the GFCI unit.

1.7 UTILITIES

Immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing if utilities not shown on the plans and not visible as to the date of this contract are encountered within the construction limits of the entire project, and such utilities will interfere with construction operations, to enable a determination by the Contracting Officer as to the necessity for removal or relocation. If such utilities are removed or relocated as directed by the Contracting Officer, an equitable adjustment in the contract price must be made pursuant to the Contract Clause CHANGES to cover the cost of any additional pertinent work or delay.

1.8 GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

See section 01 35 26 GOVERNMENTAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS for all safety requirements.

1.9 PLANNED UTILITY OUTAGES AND STREET CLOSURES

All utility outages and street closures must be of as short a duration as possible and must be scheduled as far in advance as possible with the Contracting Officer, in no case less than 14 days before the outage or closure. Obtain in writing from the Contracting Officer a statement or schedule giving the permissible times of outages or closures for particular installations and the maximum time allowed for each. Strictly observe such schedules and will be held responsible for any violations. Before any outage or closure is scheduled, the Contractor will:

1) Have all approved materials necessary for the outage on hand.

2) Have completed, tested and been inspected by the Construction Quality Control Representative all preliminary work.

3) Prepare an accepted hazard analysis in accordance with section

"ACCIDENT PREVENTION."

4) Have all permits and personnel qualifications on hand.

5) Have held a joint inspection with a representative of the Contracting Officer and the Construction Quality Control Representative.

1.10 EXCAVATION PERMITS

All excavation permits will be issued to the Contractor from the Directorate of Engineering and Housing (DEH), through the Contracting Officer. The appropriate form, for this request, may be obtained from the

01 00 00 - 4

Contracting Officer. Processing time required is 14 calendar days.

Questions concerning the excavation permit should be directed to the Contracting Officer.

1.11 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

a. This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather. In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:

1. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

2. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

b. The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

(06) (05) (05) (04) (01) (00) (00) (00) (00) (01) (04) (05)

c. Upon execution of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the Contractor will record on the daily CQC report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's scheduled work day. Refer to ER 415-1-15.

1.12 SITE CONDITIONS

The native surface soils at are generally an aeolian soil (silty sand, sandy silt). This overlies residual soil (clayey sand or sandy clay) on bedrock. The bedrock is of varying degrees of weathering depending upon relative location to drainage features, fractures, joints and susceptibility of rock to weathering. Consequently the subsurface profile can be quite irregular and erratic even over short horizontal distances.

Also, it is not unusual to find lenses, ledges or boulders of fresh rock and zones of weathered rock within the soil mantle well above the general "fresh" bedrock level. Based on our experience, soil and weathered rock that causes refusal of the standard penetrometer advancement can normally be excavated with conventional construction machinery. To effectively remove soil or weathered rock that cause refusal of the standard penetrometer requires equipment with ripping implements. Furthermore, our experience has shown that material encountered during explorations that causes auger refusal (rock) generally requires blasting, pneumatic

01 00 00 - 5

TRACY RepairReplace Roofs, Bldgs. 231, 232, 241, 246 Project hammering or other methods for efficient removal. This is particularly true of excavations within confined areas. Depending on several factors such as joints, fractures, bedding, equipment, skill of equipment operators, etc. it may be possible to remove some "auger refusal" materials by ripping. This contract calls for Contractor to excavate any material (soil, weathered rock, or rock) to the specified grades regardless of the type of materials encountered. No additional money will be paid for excavation of rock to a point 6 inches below indicated depth.

a. The aeolian soils at the are moderately permeable and offer little resistance to percolation, however the underlying residual soils are highly impermeable and block percolation. Although ground water was not observed in all the borings, after periods of rainfall the interface between the aeolian and residual soils often becomes saturated. As with most soils this increased moisture results in a soil with lower shear strength and potentially may become unstable when overstressed by heavy construction equipment. To minimize the amount of overstressing it is necessary to use light construction equipment to remove and transport the soil. This contract requires the Contractor to excavate all material to the required grade regardless of its classification or moisture state. Materials found to be potentially unstable or unstable, beyond the limits of required excavation, must be removed and replaced as stated in Division 2 - Site Work, hereinafter.

1.13 SALVAGE RIGHTS, WOOD PRODUCTS

Tracy has instituted a woodcutting program whereby all wood byproducts, including those generated by a Contractor in performance of his work, are sold to individuals for firewood.

a. Definition:

Wood products means only trees and limbs over 3 inches in diameter.

Stumps, brush, and other such wood byproducts resulting from demolition and construction work must be disposed of off Government property.

b. Wood products generated from work must be delivered to the Base sanitary landfill.

1.14 HAUL ROUTE PLAN

This plan must include offices, material storage areas and structures and the access routes to these areas. Haul routes from the sites through the military reservations to major highways must be indicated. All required traffic signs, special limits, warning devices, lighting and other such safety devices required by EM 385-1-1, OSHA, local cities and Cal Trans (on state roads) must be shown. Provisions must be made in the plan for alternate routes when excavations block designated haul routes. The plan must be revised and resubmitted if the haul routes being used are not as shown on the plan.

a. Coordination with Technical Specifications:

Work for sections such as Demolition, Grading, Tree Removal and other sections with excavations must be coordinated with this plan.

b. Protection of Land Resources:

01 00 00 - 6

This Haul Plan must include the requirements of SECTION: 01 57 19 ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION especially paragraph, PROTECTION OF LAND RESOURCES and all the clauses referenced therein.

1.15 COLOR SCHEME FOR CONTRACTOR FACILITIES

a. All Contractor storage and operational facilities including temporary structures, signs and fencing, that remain at the site must be compatible with the color scheme used on the project signs as directed by the Contracting Officer.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Prepare for approval a Project Schedule, as specified herein, pursuant to FAR Clause 52.236-15, SCHEDULE FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. Show in the schedule the proposed sequence to perform the work and dates contemplated for starting and completing all schedule activities. The scheduling of the entire project is required. The scheduling of construction is the responsibility of the Contractor. Contractor management personnel must actively participate in its development. Subcontractors and suppliers working on the project must also contribute in developing and maintaining an accurate Project Schedule. Provide a schedule that is a forward

01 32 01 - 4 planning as well as a project monitoring tool. Use the Critical Path Method (CPM) of network calculation to generate all Project Schedules.

Prepare each Project Schedule using the Precedence Diagram Method (PDM).

3.1.1 Schedule Status Reports

Provide a Schedule Status Report on at least a monthly basis. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor falls behind the approved schedule, take steps necessary to improve its progress including those that may be required by the Contracting Officer, without additional cost to the Government. In this circumstance, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and/or the amount of construction plant, and to submit for approval any supplementary schedule or schedules as the Contracting Officer deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained.

3.1.2 Default Terms

Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of the Contracting Officer must be grounds for a determination, by the Contracting Officer, that the Contractor is not prosecuting the work with sufficient diligence to ensure completion within the time specified in the contract.

Upon making this determination, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contractor's right to proceed with the work, or any separable part of it, in accordance with the default terms of the contract.

3.2 BASIS FOR PAYMENT AND COST LOADING

The approved Project Schedule is the basis for determining contract earnings during each update period and therefore the amount of each progress payment. Lack of an approved schedule update, or qualified scheduling personnel, will result in the inability of the Contracting Officer to evaluate contract earned value for the purposes of payment.

Failure to provide all required information will result in the disapproval of the preliminary, initial and subsequent schedule updates. The aggregate value of all activities coded to a contract Contract Line Item Schedule (CLIN) must equal the value of the CLIN.

3.2.1 Activity Cost Loading

Activity cost loading must be reasonable and without front-end loading.

Provide additional documentation to demonstrate reasonableness if requested by the Contracting Officer.

3.2.2 Withholdings / Payment Rejection

Failure to meet the requirements of this specification may result in the disapproval of the preliminary, initial or periodic schedule updates and subsequent rejection of payment requests until compliance is met.

In the event that the Contracting Officer directs schedule revisions and those revisions have not been included in subsequent Project Schedule revisions or updates, the Contracting Officer may withhold 10 percent of pay request amount from each payment period until such revisions to the project schedule have been made.

Field Activity Code Length Description

8 FOW 20 Feature of work*

*Some systems require that FEATURE OF WORK values be placed in several activity code fields. The notation shown is for Primavera P6. Refer to the specific software guidelines with respect to the FEATURE OF WORK field requirements.

3.3.6.1 Workers Per Day (WRKP)

Assign Workers per Day for all field construction or direct work activities, if directed by the Contracting Officer. Workers per day is based on the average number of workers expected each day to perform a task for the duration of that activity.

3.3.6.2 Responsible Party Coding (RESP)

Assign responsibility code for all activities to the Prime Contractor, Subcontractor(s) or Government agency(ies) responsible for performing the activity.

a. Activities coded with a Government Responsibility code include, but are not limited to: Government approvals, Government design reviews, environmental permit approvals by State regulators, Government Furnished Property/Equipment (GFP) and Notice to Proceed (NTP) for phasing requirements.

b. Activities cannot have more than one Responsibility Code. Examples of acceptable activity code values are: DOR (for the designer of record);

ELEC (for the electrical subcontractor); MECH (for the mechanical subcontractor); and GOVT (for USACE).

3.3.6.3 Area of Work Coding (AREA)

Assign Work Area code to activities based upon the work area in which the activity occurs. Define work areas based on resource constraints or space constraints that would preclude a resource, such as a particular trade or craft work crew from working in more than one work area at a time due to restraints on resources or space. Examples of Work Area Coding include different areas within a floor of a building, different floors within a building, and different buildings within a complex of buildings.

Activities cannot have more than one Work Area Code.

Not all activities are required to be Work Area coded. A lack of Work Area coding indicates the activity is not resource or space constrained.

3.3.6.4 Modification Number (MODF)

Assign a Modification Number Code to any activity or sequence of activities added to the schedule as a result of a Contract Modification, when approved by Contracting Officer. Key all Code values to the Government's modification numbering system. An activity can have only one Modification Number Code.

01 32 01 - 8

3.3.6.5 Bid Item Coding (BIDI)

Assign a Bid Item Code to all activities using the Contract Line Item Schedule (CLIN) to which the activity belongs, even when an activity is not cost loaded. An activity can have only one BIDI Code.

3.3.6.6 Phase of Work Coding (PHAS)

Assign Phase of Work Code to all activities. Examples of phase of work are procurement phase and construction phase. Each activity can have only one Phase of Work code.

a. Code proposed fast track design and construction phases proposed to allow filtering and organizing the schedule by fast track design and construction packages.

b. If the contract specifies phasing with separately defined performance periods, identify a Phase Code to allow filtering and organizing the schedule accordingly.

3.3.6.7 Category of Work Coding (CATW)

Assign a Category of Work Code to all activities. Category of Work Codes include, but are not limited to construction submittal, procurement, fabrication, weather sensitive installation, non-weather sensitive installation, start-up, and testing activities. Each activity can have no more than one Category of Work Code.

3.3.6.8 Feature of Work Coding (FOW)

Assign a Feature of Work Code to appropriate activities based on the Definable Feature of Work to which the activity belongs based on the approved QC plan.

Definable Feature of Work is defined in Section 01 45 00 QUALITY CONTROL.

An activity can have only one Feature of Work Code.

3.3.7 Contract Milestones and Constraints

Milestone activities are to be used for significant project events including, but not limited to, project phasing, project start and end activities, or interim completion dates. The use of artificial float constraints such as "zero free float" or "zero total float" are prohibited.

Mandatory constraints that ignore or effect network logic are prohibited.

No constrained dates are allowed in the schedule other than those specified herein. Submit additional constraints to the Contracting Officer for approval on a case by case basis.

3.3.7.1 Project Start Date Milestone and Constraint

The first activity in the project schedule must be a start milestone titled "NTP Executed," which must have a "Start On" constraint date equal to the date that the NTP is executed by the Contracting Officer.

3.3.7.2 End Project Finish Milestone and Constraint

The last activity in the schedule must be a finish milestone titled "End Project."

01 32 01 - 9

The project schedule must be constrained to the Contract Completion Date in such a way that if the schedule calculates an early finish, then the float calculation for "End Project" milestone reflects positive float on the longest path. If the project schedule calculates a late finish, then the "End Project" milestone float calculation reflects negative float on the longest path. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate Government activities to support a Contractor's early completion.

3.3.7.3 Interim Completion Dates and Constraints

Constrain contractually specified interim completion dates to show negative float when the calculated late finish date of the last activity in that phase is later than the specified interim completion date.

3.3.7.3.1 Start Phase

Use a start milestone as the first activity for a project phase. Call the start milestone "Start Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work.

3.3.7.3.2 End Phase

Use a finish milestone as the last activity for a project phase. Call the finish milestone "End Phase X" where "X" refers to the phase of work.

3.3.8 Calendars

Schedule activities on a Calendar to which the activity logically belongs.

Develop calendars to accommodate any contract defined work period such as a 7-day calendar for Government Acceptance activities, concrete cure times, etc. Develop the default Calendar to match the physical work plan with non-work periods identified including weekends and holidays. Develop seasonal Calendar(s) and assign to seasonally affected activities as applicable.

If an activity is weather sensitive, assign it to a calendar showing non-work days on a monthly basis, with the non-work days selected at random across the weeks of the calendar, using the anticipated days provided in the contract clause TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER. Assign non-work days over a seven-day week since weather records are compiled on seven-day weeks, which will cause some of the weather related non-work days to fall on weekends.

3.3.9 Open Ended Logic

Only two open ended activities are allowed: the first activity "NTP executed" must have no predecessor logic, and the last activity -"End Project" must have no successor logic.

Predecessor open ended logic may be allowed in a time impact analyses upon the Contracting Officer's approval.

3.3.10 Default Progress Data Disallowed

Actual Start and Finish dates must not automatically update with default mechanisms included in the scheduling software. Updating of the percent complete and the remaining duration of any activity must be independent functions. Disable program features that calculate one of these parameters from the other. Activity Actual Start (AS) and Actual Finish (AF) dates

01 32 01 - 10 assigned during the updating process must match those dates provided in the Contractor Quality Control Reports. Failure to document the AS and AF dates in the Daily Quality Control report will result in disapproval of the Contractor's schedule.

3.3.11 Out-of-Sequence Progress

Activities that have progressed before all preceding logic has been satisfied (Out-of-Sequence Progress) will be allowed only on a case-by-case basis subject to approval by the Contracting Officer. Propose logic corrections to eliminate out of sequence progress or justify not changing the sequencing for approval prior to submitting an updated project schedule. Address out of sequence progress or logic changes in the Narrative Report and in the periodic schedule update meetings.

3.3.12 Added and Deleted Activities

Do not delete activities from the project schedule or add new activities to the schedule without approval from the Contracting Officer. Activity ID and description changes are considered new activities and cannot be changed without Contracting Officer approval.

3.3.13 Original Durations

Activity Original Durations (OD) must be reasonable to perform the work item. OD changes are prohibited unless justification is provided and approved by the Contracting Officer.

3.3.14 Leads, Lags, and Start to Finish Relationships

Lags must be reasonable as determined by the Government and not used in place of realistic original durations, must not be in place to artificially absorb float, or to replace proper schedule logic.

a. Leads (negative lags) are prohibited.

b. Start to Finish (SF) relationships are prohibited.

3.3.15 Retained Logic

Schedule calculations must retain the logic between predecessors and successors ("retained logic" mode) even when the successor activity(s) starts and the predecessor activity(s) has not finished (out-of-sequence progress). Software features that in effect sever the tie between predecessor and successor activities when the successor has started and the predecessor logic is not satisfied ("progress override") are not be allowed.

3.3.16 Percent Complete

Update the percent complete for each activity started, based on the realistic assessment of earned value. Activities which are complete but for 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.

3.3.17 Remaining Duration

Update the remaining duration for each activity based on the number of estimated work days it will take to complete the activity. Remaining

01 32 01 - 11 duration may not mathematically correlate with percentage found under paragraph entitled Percent Complete.

3.3.18 Cost Loading of Closeout Activities

Cost load the "Correction of punch list from Government pre-final inspection" activity(ies) not less than 1 percent of the present contract value. Activity(ies) may be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's verification of completion and correction of all punch list work identified during Government pre-final inspection(s).

3.3.18.1 As-Built Drawings

If there is no separate contract line item (CLIN) for as-built drawings, cost load the "Submission and approval of as-built drawings" activity not less than $35,000 or 1 percent of the present contract value, which ever is greater, up to $200,000. Activity will be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's approval.

3.3.18.2 O & M Manuals

Cost load the "Submission and approval of O & M manuals" activity not less than $20,000. Activity will be declared 100 percent complete upon the Government's approval of all O & M manuals.

3.3.19 Anticipated Adverse Weather

Paragraph applicable to contracts with clause entitled TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER. Reflect the number of anticipated adverse weather delays allocated to a weather sensitive activity in the activity's calendar.

3.3.20 Early Completion Schedule and the Right to Finish Early

An Early Completion Schedule is an Initial Project Schedule (IPS) that indicates all scope of the required contract work will be completed before the contractually required completion date.

a. No IPS indicating an Early Completion will be accepted without being fully resource-loaded (including crew sizes and manhours) and the Government agreeing that the schedule is reasonable and achievable.

b. The Government is under no obligation to accelerate work items it is responsible for to ensure that the early completion is met nor is it responsible to modify incremental funding (if applicable) for the project to meet the contractor's accelerated work.

3.4 CONTRACTS WITH MULTIPLE BUILDINGS/FACILITIES

Prepare a separate detailed schedule for each building/facility indicating its critical path for specified interim completion dates or critical milestone date. The master schedule must indicate the interface/lag/link between buildings/facilities to maximize/level the labor and other resources. The master schedule critical path must be indicated through the various buildings/facilities and total duration equal to the contract duration.

01 32 01 - 12

3.5 PROJECT SCHEDULE SUBMISSIONS

Provide the submissions as described below. Submit a bar chart schedule for the first 30 calendar days of the contract at the Pre-construction conference. The data Optical Disc, reports, and network diagrams required for each submission are contained in paragraph SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS. If the Contractor fails or refuses to furnish the information and schedule updates as set forth herein, then the Contractor will be deemed not to have provided an estimate upon which a progress payment can be made.

Review comments made by the Government on the schedule(s) do not relieve the Contractor from compliance with requirements of the Contract Documents.

3.5.1 Preliminary Project Schedule Submission

The Preliminary Project Schedule may be summary in nature for the remaining performance period. It must be early start and late finish constrained and logically tied as specified. The Preliminary Project Schedule forms the basis for the Initial Project Schedule specified herein and must include all of the required plan and program preparations, submissions and approvals identified in the contract (for example, Quality Control Plan, Safety Plan, and Environmental Protection Plan) as well as design activities, planned submissions of all early design packages, permitting activities, design review conference activities, and other non-construction activities intended to occur within the first 90 calendar days. Government acceptance of the associated design package(s) and all other specified Program and Plan approvals must occur prior to any planned construction activities.

Activity code any activities that are summary in nature after the first 90 calendar days with Bid Item (CLIN) code (BIDI), Responsibility Code (RESP) and Feature of Work code (FOW).

3.5.2 Initial Project Schedule Submission

Submit the Initial Project Schedule for approval within 42 calendar days after notice to proceed is issued. The schedule must demonstrate a reasonable and realistic sequence of activities which represent all work through the entire contract performance period. No payment will be made for work items not fully detailed in the Project Schedule.

3.5.3 Periodic Schedule Updates
