3.1. Normal base work hours for the Contractor will be between the hours of 6:30 AM through 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’s Representative (COR) seven (7) working days in advance of his intention to work during other periods to allow assignment of additional inspection forces. When the COR 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.

When relocating to new sites, returning to sites for follow-up work on a phased work plan, notification to the Contracting 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 purpose of the above precautions is to ensure construction inspection and recording of work proceedings.

3.5. 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 subcontractors or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade.

14.2. Security of material storage areas on the job site shall be the responsibility of the contractor. The area shall be kept neat and orderly and free of debris.

15. RECORD DRAWINGS

During construction of a project and on the job site, the contractor shall maintain a completed record of all changes and corrections from the layout shown on the drawings, if applicable.
