GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

This section comprises an explanation of the general contract requirements needed to accomplish the work for the items described in the bidding schedule. This section is not intended to be all encompassing in the descriptions. All work specified herein shall be accomplished in accordance with the procedures prescribed in the specifications and contract drawings. The Contractor shall bid each type of work under the applicable bid item. Compensation for any item of work described in the contract documents, but not listed in the bid schedule shall be included in the price for the item of work to which it is made subsidiary.

The scope of this contract includes repairing the left descending bank of the Bennett's Fork diversion, just downstream of the concrete lined channel, at the Middlesboro Local Flood Protection Project in Middlesboro, KY. The work consists of clearing and grubbing vegetation on the existing bank, removing an existing gabion basket retaining wall, regrading the bank to a 2H:1V slope, and armoring the soil slope with an articulating concrete block revetment to protect against erosion. The concrete block revetment shall extend approximately 125 feet downstream of the concrete channel. A section of riprap shall be used as a transition media from the revetment to the natural bank of the channel. An existing gravity culvert which daylights just downstream of the concrete channel shall be repaired and integrated into the concrete block revetment system. The total length of the channel repair project is estimated to be 150 feet. No work is planned for the right descending bank.

1.13 EVALUATION OF CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

The Contractor's performance will be evaluated in accordance with ER 415-1-17 (MAR 1993). Evaluation will be based on quality of work, timely performance, effectiveness of management, and compliance with safety and labor standards. The format for the evaluation will be DD FORM 2626 and the Contractor will be rated either outstanding, above average, satisfactory, marginal, or unsatisfactory. A copy of DD FORM 2626 is attached at the end of Section 01 95 00 FORMS AND ATTACHMENTS.

Following initial completion by the Government, the Contractor will have thirty (30) calendar days to review, comment, and return the evaluation.

If the Contractor desires a meeting to discuss the evaluation, it must be requested in writing to the Contracting Officer no later than seven calendar days following receipt of the evaluation. This meeting will be held during the thirty (30) day review period.

The Contractor's review of the evaluation shall be completed electronically at the CPARS / CCASS website, http://www.cpars.gov. Upon contract award, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer with the name and e-mail address of the Contractor's Reviewing Representative to be registered into the system. Due to security provisions, the Contractor shall be required to purchase and utilize a valid DoD PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) certificate to access the CPARS / CCASS website. This requirement applies to DoD contractors who operate computer equipment that is not the property of the Government. The DoD PKI certificate shall be purchased from an External Certificate Authority (ECA) or an Interim External Certificate Authority (IECA). Because the IECA offers only interim certificates, it is recommended to purchase certificate(s) from ECAs. Contractors accessing CPARS / CCASS will need an Identity Certificate only; an Encryption Certificate is not required. Contractors will need to purchase a separate certificate for each computer used to access the system.

It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to monitor up-to-date information on obtaining PKI certificate(s) including price, application procedures, and renewal processes. A list of ECAs is provided below.

Updates on the list of ECAs along with additional, useful information is available at http://www.cpars.gov/main/pki_info.htm.

Contractor Guidelines For:

1. Preparation of the Accident Prevention Plan (APP)

2. Preparation of Activity Hazard Analysises (AHA)

LRNP 385-1-2

September 2009

APPENDIX A

HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE

CONTRACTOR’S

ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN (APP)

1. The following are minimum considerations for developing the Contractor’s Accident Prevention Plan. These helpful hints raise a number of basic questions that need to be answered for the Contractor’s accident prevention plan to be an effective management tool for use by on-site supervision. This plan shall be specific for this job.

a. Time Of Submittal. The accident prevention plan and the activity hazard analysis for the first phases of the job shall be acceptable prior to start of work. The plan and analysis shall be submitted for review within ten (10) calendar days after notice of award so that discussion can take place at the pre-construction conference. Job hazard analysis for later phases of work shall be acceptable prior to the start of that phase. It is recommended that the activity hazard analysis for the next phase of work be submitted twenty days before scheduled phase start in order to give ample time for review. The accident prevention plan shall contain a list of the phases to complete the works. Each phase shall have an anticipated start date. On short jobs one submittal covering the total job will be sufficient.

b. Responsible Individual(s). Who will be responsible for enforcing the accident prevention program and what are the basic duties? How will this person be held accountable? Include a statement that there will be compliance with pertinent provisions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1.

c. Subcontractor Supervision. What procedures will be followed to assure that Subcontractor activities are fully integrated into the project accident prevention plan and activity hazards analysis?

d. Indoctrination of New Employees before Start of Work. Every employee is required to receive an initial safety briefing prior to starting work. The accident prevention plan shall establish the procedure for ensuring the following items are covered:

(1) General safety policy and pertinent provisions of EM-385-1-1.

(2) Requirements for employee and project safety.

(3) Employee’s responsibilities for property and safety of others.

(4) Employee’s responsibilities for reporting all accidents.

(5) Medical facilities and required treatment.

(6) Procedures for reporting or correcting unsafe conditions or practices.

LRN 385-1-2

March 2009

(7) Safe clearance procedures.

(8) Fire fighting and other emergency procedures.

(9) Activity hazard analysis.

(10) Personal protective equipment.

e. On-the Job Safety Meetings.

(1) When and where will monthly safety meetings for all supervisors be held? Who will conduct the meetings and what will be covered?

(2) How will the weekly “tool box” meetings be conducted?

f. Accident Reporting. The contract requires prompt reporting of injuries, fire, and property damage. Initial reports must be made immediately to the on-site Government representative and written reports shall be submitted within one to four working days. How does the accident prevention plan reflect responsibilities assigned for immediate oral reporting, accident investigation, determining proper corrective action, and preparation of reports?

g. Sanitary Facilities. What toilet facilities will be provided considering the number and distribution of employees? What other considerations are planned for drinking water and washing facilities?

h. First Aid and Medical. Describe first aid facilities and qualifications of attendant. List telephone numbers of physician, ambulance, and hospital.

i. Housekeeping. How will access ways to work areas be maintained during work hours? What procedures will be followed to assure daily cleanup?

j. Fire Protection. Considering the availability of existing fire protection, what general types and size of extinguishers and fire barrels will be required to protect buildings, shops, and storage areas as well as to deal with special hazards such as welding and flammable liquids? Name the local professional fire fighters. List their telephone number.

k. Machinery and Mechanized Equipment. How will inspection of cranes, trucks, and other mechanical equipment be accomplished? Frequency, by whom, what type of records will be kept?

2. Posters, contests, safety awards help develop positive attitudes toward safety rules. What methods, if any, will be used on this project? Most accidents are preventable by well thought out and executed accident prevention plans.

APPENDIX B

GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF

THE ACTIVITY HAZARDS ANALYSIS (AHA)

1. Activity Hazards Analysis Development. Before starting any major phase of work an activity hazards analysis shall be developed and reviewed with the Government representative. This analysis will evaluate anticipated hazards and outline the proposed methods and techniques which will be utilized to accomplish the work in a safe manner.

2. Phases of Work. Listed are examples of major phases of work, but this list is not all inclusive. Phases of work shall be tailored to the specific characteristics of the contract.

Clearing and Grubbing Earthwork Trench Excavation Blasting Concrete Placement Steel Erection Masonry Electrical Work, Exterior Mechanical Work Carpentry

3. Sample Activity Hazards Analysis. Enclosed is a blank form and a partially completed form of an activity hazard analysis that might be submitted on a construction project. This sample incorporates a phase of work, the safety hazards that may be encountered, actions that will be taken to eliminate or minimize these hazards, and a risk assessment for each hazard. Each safety hazard identified must be accompanied by the appropriate paragraph reference number from EM 385-1-1. A risk assessment code must be determined for each hazard utilizing the risk assessment code matrix. A fillable Acrobat version of this form may be found at:

http://www.usace.army.mil/CESO/Pages/ActivityHazardAnalyses.aspx.

4. Indoctrination. Employees performing the work must be made aware of the activity hazard analysis. For this reason, an important part of any phase plan is the indoctrination of all employees who will be performing the work.
