Officer as part of the official Contract file.

1.7 ACTIVITY REGULATIONS FOR CONTRACTOR ACCESS AND USE OF PREMISES

Follow all current Army Security Regulations concerning strict visitor control and preservation of all Government assets. Immediately report all security concerns to the Contracting Officer.

Work may be affected by the following Force Protection Conditions levels:

FPCON NORMAL

When there is no discernible terrorist activity. Routine security posture.

FPCON ALPHA

When there is a general threat of possible threat activity against personnel and the installation, or both. There will be a limited impact on normal operations.

FPCON BRAVO

When there is an increased or more predictable threat. There will be an impact on normal operations but it will not cause undue hardship to personnel, substantially affect operational capabilities, or cause aggravated relations with local authorities and civilians.

FPCON CHARLIE

When an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating imminent terrorist action. If this lasts for more than a short period it will probably create hardships for personnel and affect the peacetime activities of units and personnel.

FPCON DELTA

When a terrorist attack has occurred or intelligence indicates likely terrorist action against a specific location. This is normally declared as a localized warning and requires implementation of mandatory security measures. This cannot be sustained for an extended period without causing significant hardships for personnel and affecting the peacetime activities of units and personal.

FPCON NORMAL through FPCON BRAVO will not affect the work. FPCON CHARLIE and FPCON DELTA will affect work. FPCON CHARLIE will subject the Contractor to a higher degree of inspection and may not be able to work on-site for short periods of time as decreed by the District Security Officer. FPCON DELTA, as determined by the District Security Officer, will close the site down and the Contractor will not be able to work on the site.

a. Pre-Construction Condition Survey - Prior to commencement of operations by the Contractor, make a detailed survey of all existing structures, Contractor staging and parking areas, roadways, boat ramps and other facilities that may be affected by the Contractor's operations.

Conduct the survey with the Contractor and the Contracting Officer and obtain signatures from both parties. Survey sufficiently in scope to provide advance agreement among all concerned as to the condition of the existing structures, Contractor staging and parking areas, roadways, boat ramps and other facilities. Presume responsibility for full and active participation in such pre-construction condition survey of existing structures, Contractor staging and parking areas, roadways, boat ramps and other facilities as deemed necessary to permit determination and accurate assessment of any subsequent damage to existing structures, Contractor staging and parking areas, roadways, boat ramps and other facilities which may be incurred during the Contract.

b. Post-Construction Condition Survey - After completion of the work, and prior to final acceptance of the work, make a detailed post-construction condition survey of the same structures, Contractor staging and parking areas, roadways, boat ramps and other facilities previously surveyed with the Contractor and the Contracting Officer and obtain signatures from all parties. Survey sufficiently in scope to provide for agreement among all concerned as to the post-project condition of the existing structures, Contractor staging and parking areas, roadways, boat ramps and other facilities. Presume responsibility for full and active participation in such

DOCUMENT 00 73 05 Page 11 post-construction condition survey as deemed necessary to permit determination and accurate assessment of any damage to existing structures, Contractor staging and parking areas, roadways, boat ramps and other facilities which have been incurred during the Contract.

c. Include, but do not limit the surveys to, photographs, videos, sketches, and written descriptions. Submit all documentation to each party involved.

d. If it is determined by the post-construction condition survey that damage has occurred to structures, Contractor staging and parking areas, roadways, and other facilities, then repair such damage to a condition equal to the pre-Contract conditions, as approved by the Contracting Officer, at the Contractor's expense.

1.13 U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS SAFETY AND HEALTH MANUAL (EM 385-1-1)

The Government Safety Manual, EM 385-1-1 (including all interim changes) will be followed and in effect on the date of award for all construction aspects of the Contract. EM 385-1-1 is at the following website:

https://www.publications.usace.army.mil/USACE-Publications/Engineer-Manuals/

1.14 EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE

a. This special Contract requirement does not apply to terminations. See EP 1110-1-8 and FAR Part 49 TERMINATION OF CONTRACTS.

b. The base allowable cost for construction and equipment in sound workable condition, furnished by a Contractor or subcontractor at any tier on actual cost data for each piece of equipment or groups of similar serial and series for which the Government can determine both ownership and operating costs from the Contractor's accounting records. When both ownership and operating costs cannot be determined for any piece of equipment or groups of similar serial or series equipment from the Contractor's accounting records, base costs for that equipment upon the applicable provisions of EP 1110-1-8, Region V.

Consider working conditions as average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified otherwise by the Contracting Officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time of negotiations applies. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the work was performed applies.

c. Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of FAR

1.23 EXCLUSIONS OF PERIODS IN COMPUTING COMPLETION SCHEDULES

Physical work at the project site is prohibited during the period between 1 December and 1 April inclusive, and such period is excluded from the Contract duration. Perform work during all or any part of this period upon giving prior written notice to and receiving approval from the Contracting Officer. Furthermore, this time period will not be considered in computing time extensions to the Contract and no time extensions will be granted for adverse weather during this period.

1.24 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

a. Provision ER 415-1-15 specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with FAR 52.249-10 DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION). In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension, the following must occur:

(2) The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. The delay is 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 Weather Service Climatological Data for the project location and constitutes the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must include reflecting these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.
