GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL

This section comprises an explanation of the general contract requirements needed to accomplish the work. All work specified herein shall be accomplished in accordance with the specifications and drawings.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The lock wall grating at Kentucky Lock shall be removed by the Contractor and transported to the Contractor's fabrication shop by the Contractor.

For all recesses from which the grating has been removed, the Contractor shall erect temporary guard rail in accordance with the current USACE Safety Manual, EM 385-1-1. The temporary guard rail shall remain in place until reinstallation of the removed grating.

All grating panels shall be fully banded. The banding shall be seal welded.

All grating panels shall be modified to include lifting points at the corners. The pedestrian grating overlaying the bridge grating shall be notched and banded around each recessed lifting point. The lifting points shall be located approximately 12" from the corner. Contractor shall field verify the location of the lifting points does not interfere with the bearing surface of the embedded grating support frame. The lifting points shall be fabricated from A36 steel (ASTM A36/A36M.) All faying surfaces shall be seal welded.

After all fabrication and welding has been performed, each panel shall be hot dip galvanized prior to delivery to the project site. The Contractor shall verify and ensure shouldered eye bolts thread into lifting points after galvanizing.

The Contractor shall supply a total of (12) 1" Crosby G-277 shouldered eye bolts, or approved equal, with the finished grating panels.

Successful installation of all grating panels by the Contractor shall occur prior to final payment.

1.3 COORDINATION CONFERENCES

Routine coordination conferences will be scheduled by the Contracting Officer throughout the life of this project. Coordination conferences will be held to discuss contract administration, Contractor quality control, phasing, scheduling, and other aspects relating to this installation. The Corps of Engineers and the Contractor will be represented at each of these meetings. Coordination conferences will be scheduled to occur when notified by the Contracting Officer.

1.4 PARTNERING

In order to most effectively accomplish this contract, the Government urges

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 2 the contractor to join the Government in establishing a cohesive and professional project management team. Through this "partnering" relationship both entities would strive to draw on the strengths of each organization for the ultimate goal of assuring that the project’s intended results are achieved, within budget and on schedule. This endeavor seeks an environment that nurtures team building, cooperation and trust between the Government and the Contractor. The partnering relationship would be bilateral in make-up, and participation will be totally voluntary.

The first step in initiating the concept would be a joint project management team "partnering" conference attended by multiple officers from each organization representing management and the key jobsite staff of each entity. The initial conference would be held within the first thirty (30) days following contract award. The Resident Engineer would chair the conference, establish its agenda and distribute minutes of the meeting. A professional facilitator acceptable to both parties would lead the participants of the session, through the steps of team building and the formation of a problem solving mechanism within the group. The conference duration would be no more than one day. Location of the conference would be offsite within a 60 mile radius of the jobsite at a facility which offers conference rooms and food service. All costs in connection with rented facilities and the facilitator would be shared equally by the Government and the Contractor. Each organization would pay other costs of its respective employees attending the conference.

Additional partnering sessions would be held no less than biannually.

Implementation of the partnering concept and philosophy would be an on-going process.

In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any installation or facility change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

Since the work is being done within a controlled area but is expected to last less than six months, the investigation requirements fall under Category B1 for US Citizens and Category C for Foreign Nationals.

1.6 PREPARATION

1.6.1 Transmittal Form

1.8 INFORMATION ONLY SUBMITTALS

Normally submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the Contracting Officer is not required on information only submittals.

The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. This does not relieve the Contractor from the obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications; will not prevent the Contracting Officer from requiring removal and replacement of nonconforming material incorporated in the work;

and does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the Government laboratory or for check testing by the Government in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe.

1.9 VARIATIONS

Variations from contract requirements require both Designer of Record (DOR) and Government approval and will be considered where advantageous to Government.

1.9.1 Considering Variations

Discussion with Contracting Officer prior to submission, after consulting with the DOR, will help ensure functional and quality requirements are met and minimize rejections and re-submittals.

SECTION 01 33 00 Page 6

Specifically point out variations from contract requirements in transmittal letters. Failure to point out deviations may result in the Government requiring rejection and removal of such work at no additional cost to the Government.

1.9.2 Proposing Variations

When proposing variation, deliver written request to the Contracting Officer, with documentation of the nature and features of the variation and why the variation is desirable and beneficial to Government, including the DOR's written analysis and approval.
