1.2 WORK SCHEDULE

Little Rock Air Force Base normal duty hours are 0700 to 1600 all days of the week except Saturday, Sunday and Federal Holidays. The Contractor is solely responsible for determining the necessary work hours to complete this project within the contract construction time. The Contractor shall work extended shifts and weekends if required to complete this project on time. Digging permits and base utility outages will only be processed during normal hours (0730-1630 Monday-Friday, excluding Federal Holidays). Inspections, coordination meetings, training, performance testing, 3-phase inspection meetings, Tool Box safety meetings, concrete pre-placement inspections, etc. will be conducted between the hours of 0730 to 1600 hours Monday-Friday, excluding Federal Holidays. No work will be performed at any time other than normal work week without obtaining written approval of the Contracting Officer. (If weekend or evening work is required at least seven (7) calendar days due to utility outages or other requirements, such work shall be with prior approval of the Contracting Officer, and accomplished at no additional cost to the Government.) The requirement for advance notice and concurrence from the Contracting Officer is to permit our evaluating if we need to provide inspection for extended shifts. Our intent is to not limit the Contractors schedule, unless required by security, but instead to coordinate activities with the Corps and Air Force agencies. However, the contractor is advised that escorts and shop personnel may or may not be available on holidays, weekends, and Air Force down days, and certain activities such as utility outages, concrete placements, and coordination meetings may not be possible. This will not be cause for delay under the Contract. Other unaffected construction activities may proceed. A

SECTION 01 14 00 Page 1 tentative schedule of the Contractor's work and inspection activities for each week shall be prepared and faxed to the resident office no later than Monday morning of that week. It will identify any anticipated holiday or weekend work and request approval of any anticipated deviations in allowable working hours. The cost for extended shifts, weekend and holiday work is part of the base bid for this project and shall not result in additional costs to the Government. The Government is responsible for the costs for additional Government inspectors.

1.3 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

a. This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the contract clause entitled "Default (Fixed Price Construction)". 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.

MONTHLY ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DELAY

WORK DAYS BASED ON (5) DAY WORK WEEK
