1.5 REQUIRED MEETINGS

1.5.1 PRECONSTRUCTION COORDINATION CONFERENCE

After award of the contract but prior to commencement of any work at the site, the Contractor shall meet with the Contracting Officer at a Preconstruction Coordination Conference. The purpose of the conference is to acquaint the Contractor with the United States Army Corps of Engineers administrative policy, to give emphasis to certain contract requirements considered unique or distinctive and to introduce personnel who will be representing the Contractor and the USACE Resident Office. The Preconstruction Conference attempts to address significant elements of administrating the contract in sufficient detail to permit all parties to fully understand what is expected of them; to reach an understanding of the scope and conditions of the work; and to outline the authorities of all personnel involved in the work. It is also established at this meeting that the Government personnel will be fair but firm and in strict accordance with contract provisions in all dealings with the Contractor. A comprehensive conference does much to minimize many misunderstandings that might otherwise subsequently occur and facilitates the performance of the work. Major subcontractors who will engage in the work shall also attend.

The Government will set the date and location for the Preconstruction Conference, establish the agenda, and provide meeting minutes. The Contractor should expect the Preconstruction Conference to take no less than 4 hours and no more than 8 hours.

1.5.2 PARTNERING

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

1.5.3 QUALITY CONTROL MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING MEETING

During the meeting, a mutual understanding of the system details must be developed, including the forms for recording the CQC operations, definable features of work, 3 phase inspection requirements submittal procedures, control activities, testing, administration of the system for both onsite and offsite work, and the interrelationship of Contractor's Management and control with the Government's Quality Assurance. Minutes of the meeting will be prepared by the Government, signed by both the Contractor and the Contracting Officer and will become a part of the contract file. There may be occasions when subsequent meetings will be called by either party

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 4 to reconfirm mutual understandings or address deficiencies in the CQC system or procedures which may require corrective action by the Contractor.

1.5.4 ENVIRONMENTAL MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING MEETING

After the Preconstruction Conference, before start of construction, and prior to acceptance by the Government of the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP), meet with the Contracting Officer and discuss the details of the Contractor's environmental protection. Submit the Environmental Protection Plan prior to the Mutual Understanding Meeting. During the meeting, a mutual understanding relative to the details of environmental protection, including measures for protecting natural and cultural resources, required reports, required permits, permit requirements (such as mitigation measures), and other measures to be taken. Minutes of the meeting will be prepared by the Government, signed by both the Contractor and the Contracting Officer and will become a part of the contract file. There may be occasions when subsequent meetings will be called by either party to reconfirm mutual understandings or address deficiencies in the EPP system or procedures which may require corrective action by the Contractor.

1.5.5 SAFETY MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING MEETING

After the Preconstruction Conference, before start of construction, and prior to acceptance by the Government of the Accident Prevention Plan (APP), meet with the Contracting Officer and discuss the Contractor's safety program. Submit the APP prior to the Mutual Understanding Meeting.

During the meeting, a mutual understanding of the safety program details must be developed, including incorporated plans, programs, program management, anticipated AHAs that will be developed and implemented during the performance, additional safety meeting requirements, PPE, mishap reporting, and additional contract requirements considered unique. Minutes of the meeting will be prepared by the Government, signed by both the Contractor and the Contracting Officer and will become a part of the contract file. There may be occasions when subsequent meetings will be called by either party to reconfirm mutual understandings or address deficiencies in the safety program or procedures which can require corrective action by the Contractor.

1.5.6 SCHEDULE EXPECTATION KICKOFF MEETING (SEKO)

Attend a kickoff meeting with the Government. This meeting will cover the schedule specification requirements to ensure correct development of schedule submittals by the Contractor. The Government intends to conduct the SEKO within 7 days after issuing NTP. The COR may provide the contractor with schedule (P6) layouts, templates, and settings to help the contractor develop an acceptable schedule.

1.5.7 SUPERVISOR SAFETY MEETING/WALK

A successful safety program has top-down support to include site supervision. Conduct a monthly safety site walk to review ongoing activities, document any issues and correct on the spot if possible.
