RESPONSE

Storm Watch

The winds are not forecast to exceed 50 knots (58 mph/26 m/s) sustained (the criteria for “destructive winds”) but there still exists a probability of high winds due to the proximity of the storm.

High winds may include gusts exceeding 50 knots and/or sustained winds meeting TCCOR 1 Caution criteria. The storm is also close enough to the area that a heightened alert status is necessary in order to rapidly establish elevated TCCOR conditions should the storm deviate from the forecast track. Personnel should follow Standard Operating Procedures for TCCOR Storm Watch and stay alert for any changes to TCCOR status.

When wind gusts of 30 knots (35 mph/16 m/s) or greater are forecast, the contractor will be required to perform general area cleanup and monitor TCCOR levels.

When a local storm warning has been issued, the Contractor competent person and/or SSHO shall determine whether it is necessary to implement manufacturer recommendations for securing the equipment to include Weight Handling Equipment (WHE).

Contractor reviews project site storm preparation plans and discuss plan of action with Contracting Officer’s Representative.

Winds of 50 knots (58 mph/26 m/s) sustained or greater are possible within 72 hrs.

When wind gusts of 30 knots (35 mph/16 m/s) or greater are forecast, the contractor will be required to perform general area cleanup and monitor TCCOR levels.

Cranes shall not be operated when wind speeds at the site attain the maximum wind velocity based on the surface/load ratio recommendations of the manufacturer.

At winds greater than 20 mph (17 knots/9 m/s), the operator, rigger, lift supervisor and SSHO shall cease all crane operations, evaluate conditions and determine if the lift can proceed with Contracting Officer’s Representative acceptance.

All elevated work above 6 ft (1.8 m) shall be risk assessed by the Contractor’s competent person and/or SSHO and discussed with the Contracting Officer’s Representative for acceptance.

Winds of 50 knots (58 mph/26 m/s) sustained or greater are possible within 48 hrs.

(1) Clean and remove all loose debris and waste including scrap wood and metal, empty barrels and concrete form materials no longer required on the job site, to a safe area for proper disposition.

(2) Secure, tie down and anchor construction field office and storage facilities, scaffolding, concrete forms and supports, doors, windows, opening covers, stored lumber and other materials, mechanized construction equipment, temporary power lines and supports, and other items that maybe blown away or that might cause injury or damage.

(3) Inspect all excavation and trenching work in process, and provide necessary temporary drainage and proper protection and shoring for excavation sides and openings, in order to prevent damage to public roads and facilities by slides or flooding. Accumulation of water in the excavation of structure foundation work will be controlled and minimized.

(4) Inspect scaffolding or work platforms for loose materials, planking, etc. that could become airborne projectile hazards and secure scaffold netting, tarps, etc. from wind loads.

Winds of 50 knots (58 mph/26 m/s) sustained or greater are possible within 24 hrs.

Work required at remote areas such as off-shore facilities or high elevations will cease immediately and the workers will be evacuated to a safe area. During TCCOR 2, the Contractor will continue the actions described in TCCOR 3 above and the construction site will be inspected for storm preparation by the Contracting Officer's Representative. The Contractor shall request an inspection by calling the Contracting Officer's Representative at the appropriate Japan District field office.

1 Winds of 50 knots (58 mph/26 m/s) All work will cease immediately and the sustained or greater are possible within 12 hrs.

(1) All electrical circuits and equipment including temporary power lines are cut off and secured against unauthorized use.

(2) Gas cylinders, hot work equipment and flammable materials properly stored at a safe area.

(3) No igniting source is present.

(4) All workers have been evacuated from the construction site. When TCCOR 1 is declared without the normal progression through TCCOR 3 and/or 2, the Contractor will take the actions listed in TCCOR 3 above, and also follow the procedures described herein.

1 Caution Winds of 35 to 49 knots (39/17 to 56/25 mph / m/s) sustained are occurring.

Construction Sites Secured

1 Emergency Winds of 50 knots (58 mph/26 m/s) sustained or greater are occurring.

Construction Sites Secured

b. The above lists will be used by the Government for scheduling purposes. (If changes to the lists are made following initial submittal, these changes shall be made in writing and provided to the Government.)

8. ASBESTOS PROHIBITION & CERTIFICATION.

a. Materials or products containing more than one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) by total weight, of the material or product, of asbestos shall not be used in this project. The Contracting Officer, at any time prior to acceptance of the work, or during the period designated for warranty of the work, if any, may reject materials and products that contain asbestos in excess of one-tenth of one percent by weight, and direct the removal of such materials and products from the jobsite, at the sole expense of the contractor, and without additional time granted for performance of the work. After completion of this contract, if asbestos (exceeding 0.1% by weight) is discovered in the products or materials (excluding items permitted by the exception) installed by the contractor, the Government reserves the right to direct the Contractor to perform asbestos abatement and restoration work, as required, at the Contractor’s sole cost. Asbestos abatement work (removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials and products) shall be accomplished in accordance with currently applicable United States Government standards for such work.

"Exception: Where suitable asbestos-free substitutes do not exist for a material or product, the contractor may use a material or product containing asbestos in the excess of 0.1% by weight, with the prior written approval of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall submit a written request for such substitution, accompanied by a certification from the manufacturer of the material or product that shall set forth, in specific detail, the amount of asbestos present in the material or product. When available, laboratory analysis of the material or product for asbestos content shall be included with the submittal."

b. The Government may conduct asbestos testing on suspected asbestos-containing materials and products excluding items permitted by the "Exception", and such testing will be conducted at the expense of the Government. However, wherever destructive testing is required, or a material or product must be utilized by the Government for testing, the Contractor, shall, at its own expense, repair or replace the material or product, or the item of work that has been disturbed by testing, if the test results confirm presence of asbestos exceeding 0.1% by weight. In the event test results indicate 0.1% or less asbestos content or complete absence of asbestos, the Contractor shall restore the test site to its original condition and the cost of restoration work, as approved by the Contracting Officer, shall be borne by the Government.

c. As a minimum, the Contractor shall furnish manufacturer's certification for the items listed below, excluding items permitted by the "Exception", certifying that they are asbestos free or do not contain asbestos in excess of 0.1% by weight, as applicable.
