2.1. Gravesite Standards:

Traditional Burial Sites – the 1800 mm x 3000 mm (6' x 10') gravesite will be used for single depth side-by-side interments where excavation below 1500 mm (5') is impractical due to soil conditions.

Pre-placed Crypts – the 900 mm x 2400 mm (3' x 8') gravesite will be used in the pre-placed lawn crypt sections. Lawn crypts are pre-placed concrete containers with removable concrete lids which are installed at the time of land development. Crypts are installed by excavating the burial area and preparing it to provide adequate drainage. Pre-cast crypts are then placed adjacent to one another and abutting on another.

Designated Cremains Sections – a 4’x4’x ±2’ deep gravesite with upright granite markers to match existing FJNC cremains sections will be used.

SD-01 Preconstruction Submittals

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

1.2.1 Project Description

The work includes the design and construction of the Phase II expansion at Fort Jackson National Cemetery to accommodate for additional pre-placed crypts, in-ground cremains, and traditional burial sites. The project shall result in complete and useable facilities including all site work, PPC installation, paving, drainage, landscaping, irrigation and incidental related work. All work will be designed and constructed in conformance with the RFP Documents.

1.2.2 Location

The work is located at Fort Jackson National Cemetery, Columbia, SC. The exact location is illustrated in the RFP drawings.

1.3 OCCUPANCY OF PREMISES

The project site area consists of primarily wooded and unoccupied land.

The existing service road on the north side of the project provides access to the spoils area and FJNC maintenance building. FJNC will continue to use this road throughout the duration of this project and the road should remain accessible during construction.

Before work is started, the Contractor shall arrange with the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) a sequence of procedure, means of access, and space for storage of materials and equipment. Construction access will be limited to the maintenance driveway off Percival Road and no access will be permitted through the existing cemetery.

The Contractor shall plan all work to minimize impact to the normal operation of the cemetery, its staff, and mission. The contractor shall be responsible for all temporary provisions necessary to meet this requirement, including but not limited to access to existing buildings, roads, and public access to burial sites. All provisions are subject to the approval of the COR and FJNC.

Section 01 11 00 Page 2

1.4 SPECIAL SCHEDULING REQUIREMENTS

The contractor shall cooperate and coordinate with the Cemetery Director, through the COR, in arranging the construction schedule to cause the least possible interference with Cemetery activities. Construction noise during committal services shall not disturb the service. Trucks, workmen, and equipment shall not pass through the cemetery at any time.

Unless otherwise specified in the contract documents, the contractor shall only be allowed to complete work in the project construction area. A construction route will be provided to allow access to the spoils area for the disposal of excess soil from excavation.

Contractor shall lead a coordination meeting with all existing occupants of the cemetery’s facilities and if applicable, other Government contractor's working at the cemetery to de-conflict the planned work area access with that of the occupants and to synchronize his work efforts with that of other Government contractors. The intent is that each occupant is able to continue work and the cemetery will be able to continue to run as normal during construction activity. There may be more than one unit/organization at the cemetery facilities, so coordination to minimize impact on their operations is paramount.

Have materials, equipment, and personnel required to perform the work at the site prior to the commencement of the work.

FJNC will remain in operation during the entire construction period. The Contractor shall conduct his operations so as to cause the least possible interference with normal operations of activity.

Permission to interrupt any activity roads and/or utility service shall be requested in writing a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to the desired date of interruption.

Request utility and facility system outages in accordance with 01 30 00

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS.

1.5 EXISTING WORK

In addition to "FAR 52.236-9, Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures, Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements":

a. Remove or alter existing work in such a manner as to prevent injury or damage to any portions of the existing work which remain.

b. Repair or replace portions of existing work which have been altered during construction operations to match existing or adjoining work, as approved by the COR. At the completion of operations, existing work must be in a condition equal to or better than that which existed before new work started.

Section 01 11 00 Page 3

1.6 LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES

Obtain digging permits prior to start of excavation and comply with Installation requirements for locating and marking underground utilities.

Contact local utility locating service a minimum of 72 hours prior to excavating, to mark utilities, and within sufficient time required if work occurs on a Monday or after a Holiday. Verify existing utility locations indicated on contract drawings, within area of work.

1.6.1 Notification Prior to Excavation

Notify the Contracting Officer at least 72 hours prior to starting excavation work.

1.3 CONTRACTOR ACCESS AND USE OF PREMISES

1.3.1 Activity Regulations and Security Requirements

It should be recognized that requirements for security and Fort Jackson National Cemetery (FJNC) access may vary depending on current security settings. It is incumbent on the Contractor to ascertain the current security and access requirements appropriate to the project location and incorporate the cost, if any, for compliance to said requirements into Contractor's proposal. Lack of knowledge of current requirements does not constitute a basis for an adjustment to the contract.

Ensure that Contractor personnel employed on the project site or Activity become familiar with and obey all local and Activity regulations including safety, fire, traffic and security regulations. Keep within the limits of the work and avenues of ingress and egress. Wear hard hats and required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)in designated areas. Do not enter any restricted areas unless required to do so and until cleared for such entry.

The Contractor's equipment shall be conspicuously marked for identification.

Contract Clause "FAR 52.204-2, Security Requirements and Alternate II" and the following apply.

a. Restrict employees/representatives to the work site and control travel directly to and from the work site.

b. Restore all traffic/parking/security signs and markings, including space numbers, designations, and lines, to their original form if such signs/markings are defaced or deleted during construction/repair.

Section 01 30 00 Page 2

c. Be responsible for control and security of Contractor-owned equipment and materials at the work site. Report immediately missing/lost/stolen property to the COR and the FJNC staff as each case occurs.

d. Not used

e. Ensure that no opening in the fence along the cemetery’s property line exists at the end of the work-day and do not exist where penetration is possible during non-working hours. If the site cannot be secured at the end of the workday, coordinate action with the COR to notify FJNC to arrange for a security watch by their personnel.

f. Seventy-two (72) hours prior to making any penetrations (such as cutting through a fence) in a restricted area, contact the Security Office to make arrangements for a security guard or other measures required to meet all security requirements. Cost of security guard will be charged to the Contractor.

1.3.1.1 Identification Badges and Installation Access
