2. Pavement Between Concrete Taxiways $__________

C. The Contractor will be held responsible for all requirements described in the contract documents and all work including that of his Subcontractor, if any, shall be done in accordance with the contract documents. Failure to familiarize himself with their requirements will not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to comply.

SECTION 01330 Page 1

D. The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections, and articles, and the arrangement of the drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among Subcontractor or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade.

1.2 WORK SCHEDULING

A. Normal base work hours for the Contractor will be between the hours of 7:00 AM thru 4:30 PM, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays. If the Contractor desires to work during periods other than above, he must notify the Contracting Officer three (3) working days in advance of his intention to work during other periods to allow assignment of additional inspection forces and for notification of fire, security and safety. When the Contracting Officer determines that they are reasonably available, he may authorize the Contractor to perform work during periods other than normal duty hours/days.

However, if inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty hours/days solely for the benefit of the Contractor, the actual cost of the inspection, at overtime rates, will be charged to the Contractor and will be deducted from the final payment of the Contract amount. (Note: If applicable, at time of award this paragraph will be modified to the negotiated schedule for this project).

B. The following Federal legal Holidays are observed by this Base:

Observed Federal Legal Holidays

New Year's Day 1st January

When relocating to new sites, returning to sites for follow-up work on a phased work plan, notification to the Contracting

SECTION 01330 Page 2

Officer's Representative is sufficient. Notification should be by personal contact; however, advance notification may be by telephone, or in writing, and should be accomplished sufficiently in advance to allow scheduling of inspection forces. The above precautions are to ensure construction inspection and recording of work proceedings.

E. The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections, and articles, and the arrangement of the drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among Subcontractor or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade.
