1.5 CORRESPONDENCE AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

For ease and speed of communications, both the Government and Contractor shall exchange correspondence and all other documents duplicate in both hard paper copy and electronic format. Inclusion of an electronic copy is in addition to any other parts of the contract that may specify a minimum number of hard copies to be submitted, such as for shop drawing transmittals. Electronic submission can be accomplished by one of the following methods: email, file upload to the following DoD Safe website https://safe.apps.mil/, or through the Resident Management System - Contractor Mode (RMS-CM) software interface with the Resident Management System (RMS). Format for electronic submissions will be in portable document format (.pdf). File naming will be determined by the Contracting Officer and presented at the Preconstruction Conference. Documents include all general correspondence, administrative plans, all material submittals including shop drawings, progress schedules, submittal registers, requests for information (RFIs), Quality Control (QC) test results, pay requests, etc. Paper documents will govern, in the event of discrepancy with the electronic version.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

a. "Cementitious material" as used herein must include all portland cement, pozzolan, fly ash, slag cement.

b. "Exposed to public view" means situated so that it can be seen from eye level from a public location after completion of the building. A public location is accessible to persons not responsible for operation or maintenance of the building.

c. "Chemical admixtures" are materials in the form of powder or fluids that are added to the concrete to give it certain characteristics not obtainable with plain concrete mixes.

d. "Supplementary cementing materials" (SCM) include coal fly ash, slag cement, natural or calcined pozzolans, and ultra-fine coal ash when used in such proportions to replace the portland cement that result in improvement to sustainability and durability and reduced cost.

e. "Design strength" (f'c) is the specified compressive strength of concrete at time(s) specified in this section to meet structural design criteria.

f. "Mass Concrete" is any concrete system that approaches a maximum temperature of 158 degrees F within the first 72 hours of placement.

In addition, it includes all concrete elements with a section thickness of 3 feet or more regardless of temperature.

g. "Mixture proportioning" is the process of designing concrete mixture proportions to enable it to meet the strength, service life and constructability requirements of the project while minimizing the initial and life-cycle cost.

h. "Mixture proportions" are the masses or volumes of individual ingredients used to make a unit measure (cubic meter or cubic yard) of concrete.

i. "Pozzolan" is a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material, which in itself possesses little or no cementitious value but will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties.

j. "Workability (or consistence)" is the ability of a fresh (plastic) concrete mix to fill the form/mould properly with the desired work (vibration) and without reducing the concrete's quality. Workability depends on water content, chemical admixtures, aggregate (shape and size distribution), cementitious content and age (level of hydration).
