GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 010000 - Page 1 of 20

SECTION 01 0000

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE

A. Project provides for furnishing all plant, labor, material, equipment and appliances to construct Security Forces Complex at Toledo Air National Guard Base, Swanton, Ohio, as described herein and shown on the construction drawings.

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

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

1.2 ABBREVIATIONS

A. The following are common abbreviations used in the Specifications:

A/E Architect and Design Engineers EC Electrical Contractor

BCE Base Civil Engineer FPT Functional Performance Test

CxA Commissioning Authority GC General Contractor

CC Controls Contractor MC Mechanical Contractor

CM Construction Manager (as constructor) PFT Pre-functional Tests

COR Contracting Officer’s Representative PM Project Manager

Cx Commissioning Subs Subcontractors to General

Cx Plan Commissioning Plan document TAB Test and Balance Contractor

1.3 WORK SCHEDULING

A. Normal base work hours for the Contractor will be between the hours of 7:45 am through 4:30 pm, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays, unless otherwise noted. If the Contractor desires to work during periods other than above, Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer 5 working days in advance of Contractor's intention to work during other periods to allow assignment of additional inspection forces and for notification of fire, security and safety. When the Contracting Officer determines that they are reasonably available, Contracting Officer may authorize the Contractor to perform work during periods other than normal duty hours/days. However, if inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty hours/days solely for the benefit of the Contractor, the actual cost of the inspection, at overtime rates, will be charged to the Contractor and will be deducted from the final payment of the Contract amount. (Note: If applicable, at time of award this paragraph will be modified to the negotiated schedule for this Project).

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 010000 - Page 2 of 20

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

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 Christmas Day 25 December

C. NOTE: Any of the above holidays falling on a Saturday will be observed the preceding Friday, holidays falling on a Sunday will be observed on the following Monday.

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

1.4 ENTRY TO BASE/ACCESS TO SITE

A. Toledo Air National Guard Base is a closed base, pursuant to Sec 21, Internal Security Act of 1950, 50 U.S.C. 797 and, as such, only those persons granted permission may enter. It is, therefore, required that control be exercised over Contractor personnel while working on the base. To maintain this control, a listing of all Contractor personnel who will be working under the Contract, must be submitted to the Contracting Officer 14 days prior to the start of work under the Contract. The listing shall include, but not limited to: Contract number, project number, employee name, and the estimated starting and ending date of each employee.

Subsequent listings of all additions or deletions will be submitted as employees are hired or released.

1. Submit list of personnel on SFS Form 77 (attached). Personnel shall be issued a badge.

B. During construction, the Contractor shall permit base personnel access to the facilities within the work area. The Contractor shall provide protection to persons and property throughout the progress of the work.

C. In the event of a declared National Emergency, the Contracting Officer may be required to stop work on this Contract for security reasons. The Contractor shall ensure the Contracting Officer has a current "Off Duty" contact name and telephone number at all times to facilitate notification.

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

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 010000 - Page 3 of 20

The Contractor shall inform all personnel working under its jurisdiction (including subcontractor and visiting supplier personnel) that access to areas outside of the immediate work area, excluding direct haul and access routes, contracting and COR and point of supply and storage is prohibited. Circulation of said personnel will be limited to official business only.

Persons in violation of the above may be apprehended and turned over to the appropriate authorities.

1.5 UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL

B. Any item mentioned under any division heading must be supplied even though it is not specified under the heading for the respective work, but is shown on the Drawings. No claims for extras arising out of real or alleged error in such arrangement or order of the various divisions will be given consideration.
