JOB CONDITIONS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 LAYOUT OF WORK

LAYOUT OF WORK: The Contractor shall lay out his work and shall be held responsible for all measurement's in connection therewith. The Contractor shall furnish, at his own expense, all stakes, templates, platforms, equipment, tools, and materials and labor as may be required in laying out any part of the work. The Contractor will be held responsible for the execution of the work to such lines and grades as may be established or indicated by the Contracting Officer. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to maintain and preserve all stakes and other marks established by the Contracting Officer until authorized to remove them.

If such marks are destroyed, by the Contractor or through his negligence, prior to their authorized removal, they may be replaced by the Contracting Officer at his discretion. The expense of replacement will be deducted from any amounts due or to become due the Contractor.

1.2 PHYSICAL DATA:

Data and information furnished or referred to below is for the Contractor's information. The Government shall not be responsible for any interpretation or conclusion drawn from the data or information by the Contractor.

1.2.1 Transportation Facilities

The principal access roads are Maryland Routes 198, 32 and 175.

These State Highways also connect to the other major highways, U.S. 1, MD 295 and I-95. There is no current rail service to Fort Meade. The Maryland Department of Transportation provides daily bus service between the Fort and downtown Baltimore and the Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

1.2.2 Explorations

The physical conditions described in the Geotechnical Report and in the specifications are the result of site investigations by surveys, borings, infiltration tests, etc., conducted for past projects at Fort Meade. No site specific exploration was conducted for this project. It is the responsibility of the Geotechnical Designer of Record to determine what types of subsurface investigations are necessary for design, and to perform all required testing. All subsurface exploration, in-situ testing, and laboratory testing completed by the Design-Build firm's geotechnical engineer shall be performed in accordance with applicable ASTM standards and accepted, good practice. All costs for subsurface explorations, associated testing, and geotechnical design shall be included as part of the Design-Build Contractor's bid proposal.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;

submittals not having a "G" designation are for information only. When

SECTION 01 05 00 Page 1 used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. The following shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:

A Risk Assessment for excavation and other work in the vicinity of utilities.

1.4 UTILITIES

1.4.1 Availability of Utilities Including Lavatory Facilities:

It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to provide all utilities he may require during the entire life of the contract. He shall make his own investigation and determinations as to the availability and adequacy of utilities for his use for construction purposes and domestic consumption. He shall install and maintain all necessary supply lines, connections, piping, and meters if required, but only at such locations and in such manner as approved by the Contracting Officer. Before final acceptance of work under this contract, all temporary supply lines, connections and piping installed by the Contractor shall be removed by him in a manner satisfactory to the Contracting Officer. American Water (AW) and Baltimore Gas and Electric (BG&E) currently control water and electrical services, respectively, with Verizon and Comcast controlling communication services at Ft. Meade.

https://amwater.com/corp/products-services/military-services/fort-meade.

1.4.2 New Construction

Fort Meade prescribes that design of new buildings, walkways, streets and parking lots use BGE Private Area Lighting. BGE will be involved in design of the new facilities to consult on locations for placement of outdoor lighting, concrete pole bases, underground conduits and transformers, if required. Placing underground conduits, concrete pole bases and transformer pads, if needed, are to be done by the construction contractor prior to paving in accordance with BGE recommended system design. BGE will place transformers, cables, poles and lights as scheduled during construction. If conduit under paved areas, concrete pole bases and pads for outdoor lighting transformers (if needed) are installed by the construction contractor, no additional cost to the Government is expected since BGE installs power cables, transformers, poles and light fixtures at no charge.

1.4.3 Operation and Maintenance

BGE Private Area Lighting is billed at fixed monthly rate based on the style of lights selected, in accordance with Fort Meade Master Planning

SECTION 01 05 00 Page 2

Division. Power for BGE Outdoor Lighting is by unmetered street lighting circuits and is not fed from buildings. The fixed monthly costs include energy and maintenance of the lights, including re-lamping at no additional cost. For units that pay for their utilities, the monthly rate for parking lot lights is included on the BGE bill for the building. If a pole or outdoor light fixture is damaged by vandalism or vehicle accident, Fort Meade must pay BGE for the repairs, unless the vehicle's insurance carrier pays for the damage repair.

Further information, if needed, can be requested from Randy Williams, DPW Engineering Division Chief (301-677-93671), (james.r.williams90.civ@mail.mil)

1.4.4 Interruption of Utilities:

a. No utility services shall be interrupted by the Contractor to make connections, to relocate, or for any purpose without approval of the Contracting Officer.

b. Request for permission to shut down utility services shall be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer not less than 17 days prior to proposed date of interruption. The request shall give the following information:

c. Nature of Utility (Gas, L.P. or H.P., Water, Etc.)

d. Size of line and location of shutoff.

e. Buildings and services affected.

f. Hours and date of shutoff.

g. Estimated length of time service will be interrupted.

h. Services will not be shut off until receipt of approval of the proposed hours and date from the Contracting Officer.

i. Shutoffs which will cause interruption of Government work operations as determined by the Contracting Officer shall be accomplished during regular non-work hours or on non-work days of the Using Agency without any additional cost to the Government.

j. Operation of valves on water mains will be by Government personnel. Where shutoff of water lines interrupts service to fire hydrants or fire sprinkler systems, the Contractor shall arrange his operations and have sufficient material and personnel available to complete the work without undue delay or to restore service without delay in event of emergency.

k. Flow in gas mains which have been shut off shall not be restored until the Government inspector has determined that all items serviced by the gas line have been shut off.

1.4.5 Alterations to Utilities:

Where changes and relocations of utility lines are noted to be performed by others, the Contractor shall give the Contracting Officer in writing advance notice at least thirty days of the time that the change or relocation is required. In the event that, after the expiration of thirty

SECTION 01 05 00 Page 3 days after the receipt of such notice by the Contracting Officer, such utility lines have not been changed or relocated and delay is occasioned to the completion of the work under this contract, the Contractor will be entitled to a time extension equal to the period of time lost by the Contractor after the expiration of said thirty day period. Any modification to existing or relocated lines required as a result of the Contractor's method of operation shall be made wholly at the Contractor's expense and no additional time will be allowed for delays incurred by such modifications.

1.4.6 Utility Markings

The Contractor shall contact the installation/DPW and Miss Utility, a minimum of 14 days and 48 hours, respectively, prior to any excavation requesting utility location markings. The Contractor shall not proceed with any excavation until all utilities, including abandoned utilities, have been marked to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer. Prior to requesting the marking of utilities, the Contractor shall stake out proposed excavations and limits of work with white lines ("White Lining"). It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that all permits (excavation or otherwise, including DPW permits) are current and up-to-date without expiration. In addition to the above requirements the Contractor shall:

a) Visually survey and verify that all utility markings are consistent with existing appurtenances such as manholes, valve boxes, poles, pedestals, pad-mounted devices, gas meters, etc.

prior to any excavation.

b) Hand dig test holes to verify the depth and location of all utilities prior to any mechanical excavation within the limits of work. Other non-damaging methods for utility verification, as indicated in (d) below, may be considered subject to approval by the Contracting Officer. Also, verify that any abandoned utilities are not active.

c) Preserve all utility markings for the duration of the project to the furthest extent possible.

d) When excavation is performed within 2 feet of any utility line, a non-damaging method of excavation shall be used. The non-damaging method shall be hand digging. Other non-damaging methods, such as, soft digging, vacuum excavation, pneumatic hand tools, may be considered subject to approval by the Contracting Officer.

e) Regardless of the type of excavation, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer a minimum of 72 hours prior to any excavation activity. Failure to notify the Contracting Officer can result in the issuance of a "Stop Work" order, which shall not be justification for contract delay or time extension. The Government reserves the right to have personnel present on site during any type of excavation.

f) The Contractor's Quality Control System Manager shall ensure that all excavation requirements herein are met at the time of the preparatory phase of quality control, and that the excavation procedures are reviewed during the preparatory phase meeting.

This preparatory phase of control shall also establish and document contingency plans and actions to be followed in the event

SECTION 01 05 00 Page 4 that existing utilities are damaged or interrupted. Locations of shut off or isolation devices along with other safety features shall be established and their operation reviewed.

g) Any work other than excavation in the vicinity of a utility, that could damage or interrupt a utility, such as, exterior or interior work near transformers, power lines, poles, above ground gas lines, gas meters, etc., shall be done with extreme care. The Contractor shall specifically note during the preparatory phase of quality control, the construction techniques to be used to preclude damaging or interrupting any utility. This preparatory phase of control shall also establish and document contingency plans and actions to be followed in the event that existing utilities are damaged or interrupted. Locations of shut off or isolation devices along with other safety features shall be established and their operation reviewed.

h) The Contractor shall complete a risk assessment, using the attached checklist, at least one week prior to the start of any excavation or other work in the vicinity of a utility. The risk assessment shall be submitted for government approval prior to any excavation or other work in the vicinity of a utility. A risk assessment shall be completed for each definable feature of work encountering utilities and shall include all utilities anticipated to be encountered.

1.4.7 Water and Sewer Connections
