1.7 AS-BUILT DRAWINGS

1.7.1 GENERAL

An as-built drawing is a contract construction drawing revised to reflect the final as-built conditions of the project because of modifications, changes, corrections to the project design required during construction, submittals and extensions of design. The terms "drawings," "contract drawings," "drawing files," "working as-built drawings" and "final as-built drawings" refer to contract drawings that are revised to be the "RECORD

DRAWING AS-BUILTS".

The Contractor shall follow procedures identified in document:

"CELRC-As-Built Guidance.PDF" (Revised 11-21-2007), posted at the following web address:

http://www.lrc.usace.army.mil/ts-d-c/support/asbuilt/As-Built-ChicagoGuidance.htm

As a resource to contractors a web page was developed that may assist in locating a trained CADD professional to develop the as-builts or train an existing employee to develop the as-builts.

http://www.lrc.usace.army.mil/ts-d-c/support/asbuilt/BentleyResources.htm

1.7.2 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED FILES

The Contractor will be provided files at the beginning of construction for use during the construction phase which are to be maintained during construction for the preparation of as-builts. The Contractor shall enter changes and corrections on the working drawings on a weekly basis in accordance with Paragraph "Maintenance of Working As-Built Drawings" and update the CADD as-built drawings on a monthly basis. Both paper and electronic documents shall be available at all times and shall be provided promptly to the Contracting Officer when requested. The Contractor shall be responsible for backup of electronic files during construction and for controlling release of information.

1.7.3 MAINTENANCE OF WORKING AS-BUILT DRAWINGS

The Contractor shall revise and maintain during the execution of the project two (2) sets of full-scale paper prints by red-line process to show the as-built conditions. These working as-built drawings shall be kept current and available for review on the jobsite at all times. Changes from the contract drawings that are made in the work or additional information that might be uncovered in the course of construction shall be accurately, legibly and neatly recorded and dated as they occur by means of details and notes. All variations from the contract drawings, for whatever reason, including those occasioned by modifications, optional material and the required coordination between trades, shall be indicated. These variations shall be shown in the same general detail that is utilized in the contract drawings. Changes must be reflected on all sheets affected by the change.

The working as-built drawings will be jointly reviewed for accuracy and completeness by the COR and the Contractor prior to submission of each monthly pay estimate. If the Contractor fails to maintain the working

Section 01100 - Page 4 as-built drawings as specified herein, the COR shall deduct from the monthly progress payment an amount representing the estimated cost of maintaining the working as-built drawings. The working as-built drawings shall show the following information, but not be limited thereto:

1. The actual location, kinds and sizes of all sub-surface utility lines. In order that the location of these lines and appurtenances may be determined in the event the surface openings or indicators become covered or obscured, the as-built drawings shall show, by offset dimensions to two permanently fixed surface features, the end of each run including each change in direction. Valves, splice boxes and similar appurtenances shall be located by dimensioning along the utility run from a reference point. The average depth below the surface of each run shall also be recorded.

2. The location and dimensions of any changes within the building structure.

3. Correct grade, elevations, cross section, or alignment of roads, earthwork, structures or utilities if any changes were made from contract plans.

4. Additional as-built information that exceeds the detail shown on the Contract Drawings. These as-built conditions include those that reflect structural details, fabrication, erection, installation plans and placing details, pipe sizes, insulation material, dimensions of equipment foundations and layouts, equipment, sizes, mechanical room layouts and other extensions of design, that were not shown in the original contract documents because the exact details were not known until after the time of approved shop drawings. It is recognized that these shop drawing submittals (revised showing as-built conditions) will serve as the as-built record without actual incorporation into the contract drawings. All such shop drawing submittals must include, along with the hard copy of the drawings, CADD files of the shop drawings in a commercially available digital format, compatible with the Using Agency System (see paragraph "Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) Drawings"). .

5. The topography, invert elevations and grades of drainage installed or affected as part of the project construction.

6. Changes or modifications which result from the final inspection.

7. Where contract drawings or specifications present options, only the option selected for construction shall be shown on the final as-built drawings.

8. If borrow material for this project is from sources on Government property, or if Government property is used as a spoil area, the Contractor shall furnish a contour map of the final borrow pit/spoil area elevations.

9. Modifications (change order price shall include the Contractor's incidental cost to change working and final as-built drawings to reflect modifications) and compliance with the following procedures:

(1) Directions in the modification for posting descriptive changes shall be followed.

Section 01100 - Page 5

(2) A Modification Equilateral Triangle (3/8" per side) shall be placed at the location of each deletion.

(3) For new details or sections which are added to a drawing, a Modification Equilateral Triangle shall be placed by the detail or section title.

(4) For minor changes, a Modification Equilateral Triangle shall be placed by the area changed on the drawing (each location).

(5) For major changes to a drawing, a Modification Equilateral Triangle shall be placed by the title of the affected plan, section, or detail at each location.

(6) For changes to schedules or drawings, a Modification Equilateral Triangle shall be placed either by the schedule heading or by the change in the schedule.

(7) All other changes shall be annotated with a triangle and sequential number at the following locations:

bottom of the revised detail right hand and bottom border aligned with the revised detail the revision block of the title block

1.7.4 RETAINAGE

a. The cost of as-built document preparation shall include all requirements of this clause:

1. Maintenance of working as-built drawings

2. Conversion of submittals and other miscellaneous documents into electronic files

3. Creation of a CD containing all required files.

4. Submittal of as-built documents in the required media forms and numbers of copies

If the Contractor fails to maintain the working as-built drawings as specified herein, the Contracting Officer will deduct from the monthly progress payment an amount that, in the Contracting Officer's judgment, represents the estimated cost of bringing the as-built documents up to date. This monthly deduction will continue until an agreement can be reached between the Contracting Officer and the Contractor regarding the accuracy and completeness of working as-built documents.

b. Retainage for the final as-built drawings in the amount of $42000.00 shall be withheld from the amounts due to the Contractor when progress under the contract reaches 80% completion. This amount shall be withheld until the Final As-Built Drawings (including CD-ROM and full-scale prints) are accepted by the Government. If an acceptable As-Built Drawing submittal is not provided within 45 calendar days from the date the Contractor received the approved working as-built drawings, the Government reserves the right to unilaterally modify the contract to de-obligate the aforementioned amount from the final Contract amount.

No separate payment will be made for providing approved as-built drawings

It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that all applicable

Section 01100 - Page 15

Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements are satisfied, regardless of their presence on, or absence from, the above list.

(2) It is the responsibility of the Government to ensure that the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) have been complied with. If the Contractor decides to use a site or quarry which has not previously undergone an environmental review under NEPA (either Government-recommended or Contractor-chosen), the Contractor will so notify the Contracting Officer, who shall arrange for such an environmental review. This review and compliance process may include inter-agency coordination and the preparation and circulation for public review of environmental documentation. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to allow sufficient time in the construction schedule to accommodate this review and compliance process, and to provide the Contracting Officer with any and all information that the Contracting Officer deems necessary to facilitate the process. The review and compliance process requires a minimum time frame of ninety (90) calendar days, but could take substantially longer, possibly up to one year or, in unusual circumstances, even longer than one year, to complete. Any construction delays caused by the need to conduct an environmental review under NEPA shall be solely the responsibility of the Contractor, at no additional cost to the Government.

(3) It is also the responsibility of the Government to perform Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act, to coordinate with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and appropriate state wildlife agencies under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and to perform a Farmland Conversion Impact Rating under the Farmland Protection Policy Act for all Government-Suggested or Contractor-Chosen sites. This shall be accomplished concurrently with the NEPA environmental review process. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to allow sufficient time in the construction schedule to accommodate these consultation and coordination requirements as well as the NEPA review process, and to provide the Contracting Officer with any and all information that the Contracting Officer deems necessary to facilitate the completion of these consultation and coordination requirements.

(4) The Government cannot guarantee that any Government-Suggested or Contractor-chosen site is capable of complying with all applicable Federal, state and local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements and may reject any such site proposed for use by the Contractor for environmental reasons. If the Contracting Officer does not approve the use of a Government-recommended or Contractor-chosen borrow/disposal site or quarry because not all applicable Federal, state or local environmental statutory and regulatory requirements have been satisfied, or because the Government determines that such site or quarry could not be used for environmental reasons as a result of the environmental review under NEPA, it is the Contractor's responsibility to locate an alternate site or quarry and to perform all necessary reviews to obtain approval of the use of such alternative site or quarry. Any construction delays caused by the need to locate an alternate site or quarry, shall be solely the responsibility of the Contractor, at no additional cost to the Government.

Section 01100 - Page 16

(5) Nothing in this clause shall relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of obtaining all non-environmental permits and licenses which may be required under Federal, state or local statutes, regulations and ordinances.

1.20 TAX EXEMPTION

Pursuant to the rulings of the Illinois Department of Revenue, materials which are to be physically incorporated into real estate owned by the Government are exempt from Illinois Retailers' Occupational Tax and Use Tax. However, sales of tools, fuel, lumber for forms and other end use or consumption items which are not physically incorporated into real estate are taxable sales. After contract award, the Contractor may request the Government Sales Tax Exemption Number, which must be used when purchasing tax exempt material. Nothing herein shall be construed to affect the provisions contained in Section 00700, Contract Clause entitled FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES.

1.21 PROGRESS MEETINGS

A progress meeting will be held once every two weeks (biweekly). The meetings shall be held on-site, in the contractor's field trailer, unless the Government elects to hold the meetings at an alternate off-site location. The day and time for conducting meetings will be mutually agreed to between the Contractor, the Government, the Local Sponsors and other participants as required, within 30 calendar days after receipt of the notice to proceed. The Contractor shall be required to fully participate in the progress meeting.

Unless the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) specifically indicates in writing otherwise, the Contractor shall prepare meeting agendas and meeting minutes for each meeting. The agenda and minutes shall be prepared in a format acceptable to the COR and shall contain all information required by the COR, including, but not limited to:

a. A listing of all meeting participants;

b. The financial progress, including original and current contract amounts, the amount paid to date, and original and current contract completion dates;

c. A list of work completed since the last meeting;

d. A list of work activities scheduled for the upcoming two weeks;

e. Critical work activities in the project schedule;

f. Old business, including summaries of the status of unresolved issues discussed at previous progress meetings;

g. New business, including summaries of issues that need to be addressed and have not been included in previous meeting minutes;

h. Potential items of interest to the public, local sponsor, or local community;

i. The status of submittals, including lists of outstanding submittals, key submittals in review, and upcoming submittals;

Section 01100 - Page 17

j. A listing of all field changes/modifications.

The progress meeting minutes shall be submitted to the Government and all other meeting participants for review and approval within seven days of the meeting. The review and approval process will allow for mutual acceptance of the minutes as written. As directed by the Government, the Contractor shall edit the minutes to add, delete, and/or correct items that were covered in the weekly meeting. The edited meeting minutes shall then be resubmitted within 7 days of the receipt of the Government comments.

1.22 QUANTITY SURVEYS

a. Quantity surveys shall be conducted and the data derived from these surveys shall be used in computing the quantities of work performed and the actual construction completed and in place.

b. The Contractor shall conduct the original and final surveys and surveys for any periods for which progress payments are requested. Original and final surveys shall be done by an independent, registered land surveyor.

All these surveys shall be witnessed by a representative of the Contracting Officer, unless the Contracting Officer waives this requirement in a specific instance. Prior to any scheduled survey, the COR/Area Engineering Office will be given 48-hour notice. The Contractor's independent surveyor shall make such computations as are necessary to determine the quantities of work performed or finally in place. The Contractor shall make the computations based on the surveys for any periods for which progress payments are requested.

c. Promptly upon completing a survey, the Contractor shall furnish the originals of all field notes and all other records relating to the survey or to the layout of the work to the Contracting Officer, who shall use them as necessary to determine the amount of progress payments. The Contractor shall retain copies of all such material furnished to the Contracting Officer.
