GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (NAU)

04/19

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 PURPOSE

This specification provides general requirements which the contractor shall follow during the execution of the work. As they are general in nature, specific requirements identified in any other portions of the contract, including in other Division 01 specifications, shall take precedence in the event of a conflict. In this context, a conflict exists only when both requirements cannot be met; if both can be met there is no conflict and the contractor shall comply with both requirements.

1.2 DESIGN-BUILD LANGUAGE

References in the Division 00 and 01 specifications to "design" are not applicable to design-bid-build projects and to all Job Order Contract (JOC). Nothing in the aforementioned specifications shall be interpreted to require design effort unless required by other contract documents.

Where the contract documents refer to contractor prepared designs, these requirements apply.

Notwithstanding the above, design related activities, including extensions of design and shop drawings, required to perform the work and comply with other technical requirements are considered part of this contract and shall be included in the contractors pricing without separate or additional payment.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

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

submittals not having a "G" designation are for Contractor Quality Control approval. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.

Submit the following in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL

PROCEDURES:

SD-01 Preconstruction Submittals

U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS (USACE)

EM 385-1-1 (2014) Safety and Health Requirements Manual

1.10 REFERENCED STANDARDS

1.10.1 Version and Date of Standard

The contract documents make various references to Host Nation and US standards, including Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and design guides.

When a specific version (e.g. "UFC x-xxx-xx, with Change yy") or date is identified in the reference, that specific version of the reference will apply. Where no date or version is specified, the version applicable to the contract shall be the earlier of either:

1. The date of the initial Request for Proposal (RFP) or solicitation for the project. For a MATOC, JOC, or other delivery order type contract, the RFP date refers to the date indicated on the RFP letter for the task order.

2. The date identified on the title page of Section 01 10 10 Statement of Work.

Generic language, such as "the most recent version" or "the most current version" shall be interpreted as indicated above.

1.10.2 Host Nation Standards

Where reference is made in the contract to Host Nation Standards, including, but not limited to those issued by the Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (DIN; in English, the German Institute for Standardization) and The European Committee for Standardization or Comité Européen de Normalisation (CEN) (EN Standards), whether such standards are incorporated into the contract in full text or by reference, the standard applies only to establish a technical standard or level of performance or quality and does not create substantive rights under the contract.

All costs required to comply with these standards shall be included in the bid price, including the performance of any additional work, such as “associated” and “special” tasks. Notwithstanding any language in any standard, the requirement to provide any necessary material, item of equipment or work, rests with the contractor unless another contract provision clearly states that such will be government furnished.

When referenced standards within the same Order of Preference are in conflict with each other (such as when a US Standard conflicts with a European or Host Nation standard within the same specification section), Host Nation Standard shall govern unless otherwise specified within the contract documents. A conflict does not exist when standards require separate methods or performance and both are achievable. In these situations, the contractor shall comply with both standards.

1.11 PRECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE

After award of the contract but prior to commencement of any work at the site, meet with the Contracting Officer to discuss and develop a mutual

SECTION 01 30 00 Page 6 understanding relative to the administration of the contract, including quality and safety programs, preparation of the schedule of prices or earned value report, shop drawings, and other submittals, scheduling programming, prosecution of the work, and clear expectations of the "Interim DD Form 1354" Submittal. Major subcontractors who will engage in the work must also attend.
