GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 2

PART 1 - GENERAL 3

1.1 SCOPE 4

A. This Project consists of the complete construction, to the extent indicated on the Drawings and in 5 the Specifications, of a new Communications Building and infrastructure, renovation of Building 6 100 and demolition of building 107 at Iowa Air National Guard, Des Moines International 7 Airport, Des Moines, Iowa. 8

B. Project provides for furnishing all plant, labor, material, equipment and appliances to construct 9 Communications Facility at Iowa Air National Guard Base, Des Moines International Airport, 10 Des Moines, Iowa, as described herein and shown on the construction drawings. 11

C. The CONTRACTOR will be held responsible for all requirements described in the Contract 12 Documents. All work, including that of subcontractors, shall be completed in accordance with 13 the Contract Documents. Failure to be familiar with the requirements of the Contract will not 14 relieve the CONTRACTOR of responsibility to comply. 15

D. The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections, and articles, and the arrangement 16 of the Drawings shall not control the CONTRACTOR in dividing the Work among 17 subcontractor or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade. 18

E. For ease of understanding, the term CONTRACTOR shall be taken to mean the Prime 19 Contractor and all Subcontractors associated with the Project. 20

1.2 WORK SCHEDULING 21

A. Normal base working hours for the CONTRACTOR will be between the hours of 8:00 am and 22 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. No work will be scheduled for Saturday, Sunday, or Federal 23 holidays (listed below). If the CONTRACTOR desires to work during periods other than above, 24 CONTRACTOR must notify the CONTRACTING OFFICER 5 working days in advance of 25 CONTRACTOR’s intention to work during other periods to allow assignment of additional 26 inspection forces and for notification of fire, security and safety. When the CONTRACTING 27 OFFICER determines that they are reasonably available, CONTRACTING OFFICER may 28 authorize the CONTRACTOR to perform work during periods other than normal duty 29 hours/days. However, if inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty 30 hours/days solely for the benefit of the CONTRACTOR, the actual cost of the inspection, at 31 overtime rates, will be charged to the CONTRACTOR and will be deducted from the final 32 payment of the Contract amount. (Note: If applicable, at time of award this paragraph will be 33 modified to the negotiated schedule for this Project). 34

B. The following Federal legal Holidays are observed by this base: 35

New Year's Day 1 January Martin Luther's King's Birthday Third Monday of January President's Day Third Monday of February Memorial Day Last Monday of May Independence Day 4 July Labor Day First Monday in September Columbus Day Second Monday in October Veteran's Day 11 November Thanksgiving Day Fourth Thursday in November Day after Thanksgiving Day after Thanksgiving Christmas Day 25 December

01000 - 2

1. NOTE: Any of the above holidays falling on a Saturday will be observed the preceding 2

Friday, holidays falling on a Sunday will be observed on the following Monday. 3

C. Prior to commencing work on the job initially, resumption of work after prolonged interruption 4 (7 calendar days or more) commencement of any warranty work, and upon completion of 5 warranty work, the CONTRACTOR must notify the CONTRACTING OFFICER or the 6 CONTRACTING OFFICER Representative (COR). When relocating to new sites, returning to 7 sites for follow-up work on a phased work plan, notification to the COR is sufficient. 8 Notification should be by personal contact; however, advance notification may be by telephone, 9 or in writing, and should be accomplished sufficiently in advance to allow scheduling of 10 inspection forces. The above precautions are to ensure construction inspection and recording of 11 work proceedings. 12

D. The organization of the specifications into divisions, sections, and articles, and the arrangement 13 of the Drawings shall not control the CONTRACTOR in dividing the work among subcontractor 14 or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade. 15

1.3 ENTRY TO BASE/ACCESS TO SITE 16

A. Iowa Air National Guard Base is a closed base, pursuant to Sec 21, Internal Security Act of 17 1950, 50 U.S.C. 797 and, as such, only those persons granted permission may enter.

To maintain this control, a listing of all CONTRACTOR personnel who will be 20 working under the Contract, must be submitted to the CONTRACTING OFFICER 5 working 21 days prior to the start of work under the Contract. The preferred method of providing this list is 22 via email, to the Contract administrator. The listing shall include, but not limited to: Contract 23 number, project number, employee name, Social Security Number, Driver License Number with 24 State of Origin, and the estimated starting and ending date of each employee. Subsequent 25 listings of all additions or deletions will be submitted as employees are hired or released. 26

C. In the event of a declared National Emergency or a site visit by High Government Officials, the 30 CONTRACTING OFFICER may be required to stop work on this Contract for security reasons. 31 The CONTRACTOR shall ensure the CONTRACTING OFFICER has a current “Off Duty” 32 contact name and telephone number at all times to facilitate notification. 33

D. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for compliance with all regulations and orders of the 34 Commanding Officer of the Military Installation, respecting identification of employees, 35 movements on installation, parking, truck entry, and all other military regulations, which may 36 affect the work. 37

E. The work under this Contract will be performed at an operating Military Installation with 38 consequent restrictions on entry and movement of nonmilitary personnel and equipment. The 39 Military Installation may have specific requirements, which will be identified at the 40 Preconstruction Conference. 41

1.4 UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL 42

A. The CONTRACTOR shall inform all personnel working under its jurisdiction (including 43 subcontractor and visiting supplier personnel) that access to areas outside of the immediate work 44 area, excluding direct haul and access routes, Contracting and Civil Engineering offices and 45 point of supply and storage, is prohibited.

Report all safety incidences to the CONTRACTING 41

OFFICER. 42

C. Crawl spaces and attics are to be treated as confined space entry. CONTRACTOR must follow 43 29 CFR 1910.146 and use Air Force Form 1024 when making an entry. NOTE: A confined 44 space does not include areas above suspended acoustical tile ceiling. 45

D. Where an employee can fall more than 6 feet, a fall protection system must be used; 29 CFR 46

1926.500 stipulates where this occurs and the different types of fall arrest systems. 47
