2.8.17. Ensure that the repairs, modifications, rehabilitations, and new construction meet all applicable design codes and criteria, including UFC. Identify load-carrying components which will require strengthening and provide a design correction which is compatible with the materials used in the building. The building and all design loads shall be safely supported during demolition and construction.

Another consideration is the effect of new dead loads, introduced to reinforce weak components, shall not negatively affect the structural performance of any other parts of the building. The primary code used for structural design shall be the International Building Code (IBC), and the codes referenced therein, except where modified by UFC criteria which shall take precedence (Reference UFC -1-

200-01). For any new work and the loads associated with it, the DOR shall also be responsible for strengthening of existing components to meet all applicable requirements for all other design loads as defined in the IBC such as gravity, dead, live, and wind loads. Specify and design connections and fasteners to structural and exterior wall components. Also include support for architectural features, mechanical, and electrical equipment.

2.8.18. Contractor shall verify and review all limited as-built information.

During the prosecution of the work under the contract, keep in close liaison with the prime contractor, who will coordinate the work with the

Government and other agencies. All requests made by the Government shall be referred to the PM through the prime contractor. At appropriate times, representatives of the Contracting Officer may review the progress and technical adequacy of the work, including adherence to the approved Quality Control Plan

(QCP). Such review will not relieve the prime contractor from performing all

Section 01 10 00 Page 14 contract requirements, except as may be waived by written instruction. The prime contractor shall notify the Government in writing prior to changing Project

Managers. The DOR’s PM shall have at least 10 years of progressively responsible experience and be either a Registered Professional Engineer or

Registered Architect.

2.8.21. The DOR and prime contractor shall become reasonably acquainted with all the available site related information to properly estimate the difficulty and/or cost of successfully performing the construction of the project.

2.8.23. The prime contractor and DOR shall cause appropriate provisions to be inserted in all subcontracts relating to this contract to ensure fulfillment of all contractual provisions by subcontractors. If for sufficient reason, at any time during the process of this contract, the DOR determines that any subcontractor is unsatisfactory or is not performing in accordance with the contract, the prime contractor shall be informed in writing accordingly and immediate steps shall be taken by the prime contractor to obtain acceptable performance or terminate the subcontract. Subletting by subcontractors shall be subject to the same requirements. Nothing contained in this contract shall be construed to create any contractual relation between any subcontractor and the Government.

2.8.24. Inspection and Acceptance:

2.8.24.1. During the progress of work, all work and all the DOR’s or subcontractor's plant and equipment engaged in the work shall be subject to, and available for, inspection by the Contracting Officer during normal office hours.

2.8.24.2. As soon as practical after delivery of work in any installment, the Contracting

Officer will spot check for serious errors or an undue number of minor errors indicating mistakes, carelessness, or lack of adequate quality control on the part of the DOR. The Contracting Officer may forego a thorough inspection and return the entire submittal for rechecking and correction by the prime contractor and DOR.

2.8.24.3. In the event that documents submitted for review are deemed to be deficient or incomplete for a particular stage of completion, the prime contractor and

DOR shall be required to correct the deficiencies and re-submit the documents in the quantities originally required and within a reasonable time as specified by the Contracting Officer. The cost of accomplishing the re-submittal data shall be borne by the prime contractor and DOR.

2.8.24.4. Tentative acceptance of work delivered in any installment shall be the basis for estimating partial payments for completed work but shall not be construed as final acceptance. Work tentatively accepted but proven by subsequent inspection to be not acceptable shall be corrected by the DOR. Final acceptance of the work shall not be made until all work under the contract has

Section 01 10 00 Page 15 been delivered and found to be acceptable.

2.9. All delivery media (CD’s) for computer data shall be certified to be free of known computer viruses. The name(s) and release date(s) of the virus scanning software used to analyze the delivery media shall be furnished to the Government at the time of delivery.
