1.3 AS-BUILT DOCUMENTS FOR DESIGN-BUILD PROJECTS

1.3.1 General

1.3.1.1 It is the scope of this section to provide guidance to the Contractor on preparing as-built drawings and as-built specifications. An as-built drawing is a construction drawing revised to reflect the final as-built conditions of the project as a result of modifications and corrections to the project design required during construction. The final as-builts drawings shall not have the appearance of marked up drawings, but that of professionally prepared drawings as if they were the "as designed" drawings.

1.3.1.2 As-built specifications are the construction specifications as modified by changes (contract modifications, CONTRACTING OFFICER approved variations from the construction specifications which did not result in contract modifications, and any additional details which were not fully developed at the time of completion of construction documents).

1.3.2 Maintenance of As-Built Drawings

1.3.2.1 The Contractor shall keep a careful record set of blue line prints at the job site, marked in red, of all changes and corrections from the contract drawings. The Contractor shall enter changes and corrections on drawings promptly to reflect "Current Construction.” This update shall be done no less frequently than on a weekly basis for the blue line prints and update no less frequently than a quarterly basis for the CAD files, which were prepared previously. A confirmation shall be included that the as-builts are up to date with the submission of the monthly project schedule. If the Contractor fails to maintain the as-built drawings as required herein, the Contracting Officer will deduct from the monthly progress payment, an amount representing the estimated monthly cost of maintaining the as-built drawings. Final payment with respect to separately priced facilities or the contract as a whole, will be withheld until proper as-built drawings have been furnished to, and accepted by the Contracting Officer. The marked-up set of plans shall reflect any changes, alterations, adjustments or modifications. Changes must be reflected on all sheets affected by the change. Changes shall include marking the drawings to reflect structural details, foundation layouts, equipment sized, and other extensions of design.

1.3.2.2 Typically, room numbers shown on the contract drawings are selected for design convenience and do not represent the actual numbers intended for use by the end user. Final as-built drawings shall reflect actual room numbers adopted by the end user.

1.3.2.3 Preliminary Submittal

Six (6) weeks before completion of project, the Contractor shall submit one (1) set of the original working as-built drawings to the Contracting Officer for review and approval. These working as-built marked drawings shall be neat, legible and accurate. The review by Government personnel will be expedited to the maximum extent possible. Upon approval, the working as-built marked drawings will be returned to the Contractor for use in preparation of final as-built drawings. If upon review, the working as-built marked drawings are found to contain errors and/or omissions, they will be returned to the Contractor for corrections. The Contractor shall complete the corrections and return the working as-built marked drawings to the Contracting Officer within 10 calendar days.

1.3.3 Maintenance of As-Built Specifications

As-built specifications shall be marked up no less frequently than on a weekly basis. Revised electronic files shall be done no less frequently than monthly.

1.3.4 Underground Utilities

The drawings shall indicate, in addition to all changes and corrections, 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 over 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 elevation of the top of each run or underground structure shall also be recorded.

1.3.5 Borrow Areas

The Government will not provide any borrow for this project.

1.3.6 Partial Occupancy

Where portions of construction are to be occupied or activated before overall project completion, including portions of utility systems, as-built drawings for those portions of the facility being occupied or activated shall be supplied at the time the facility is occupied or activated. This same as-built information previously furnished must also be shown on the final set of as-built drawings.

1.3.7 As-Built Conditions That are Different From the Contract Drawings

All as-built conditions that are different from the contract drawings shall be accurately reflected on each drawing. If the as-built condition is accurately reflected on a shop drawing, then furnish that shop drawing in CAD format. The final as-built drawing shall refer to the shop drawing file that includes the as-built information.

1.3.8 Additional As-Built Information that Exceeds the Detail Shown on the Contract Drawings

These as-built conditions include those that reflect structural details, foundation layouts, equipment, sizes, mechanical room layouts and other extensions of design, that were not shown in the project design documents because the exact details were not known until after the time of approved shop drawings. All additional information shall be incorporated into as-built drawings.

1.3.9 Final As-Built Drawings

1.3.9.1 At the time of Beneficial Occupancy of the project or at a designated phase of the project, final approved as-built CAD files shall be provided to the Contracting Officer in the following formats:

1.16 CONSTRUCTION HAZARD COMMUNICATION

1.16.1 The Contractor is required to comply with the requirements of the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1926.59). This standard is designed to inform workers of safe and appropriate methods of working with hazardous substances in the workplace. The standard has five requirements, and every hazardous or potentially hazardous substance used or stored in the work area is subject to all five. They are:

1.16.1.1 Hazard Evaluation. Any company that produces or imports a chemical or compound must conduct a hazard evaluation of the substance to determine its potential health or physical hazard. The hazard evaluation consists of an investigation of all the available scientific evidence about the substance. The Contractor is required to assure that all producers (manufacturer/distributors) have performed these evaluations and transmit the required information with any hazardous materials being used or stored on the project site. From the hazard evaluation, a substance may be classified as a health hazard, or a physical hazard. These classifications are then further broken down according to type:

Health Hazards

Physical Hazards

Carcinogens

Combustible liquids

Irritants

Compressed gases

Sensitizers

Explosives

Corrosives

Flammables

Toxic substances

Organic peroxides

Highly toxic substances

Unstable substances

Substances harmful to specific

Water-reactive substances organs or parts of the body

1.16.1.2 Warning Labels. If a chemical is hazardous or potentially hazardous, the producer or importer must affix a warning label to every container of that chemical before it leaves his facility. The Contractor must assure these labels are attached and legible. The label must identify the chemical, state the hazard, and give the name and address of the producer or importer. If the hazardous substance is transferred to another container, that container must then be labeled, tagged, or marked with the name of the chemical and the appropriate hazard warning. Warning labels should be replaced immediately if they are defaced or removed.

1.16.1.3 Material Safety Data Sheets. The producer or importer must also supply a material safety data sheet (MSDS). The Contractor must keep these available in the work area where the substance is used, so that the people using the substance can easily review important safety and health information, such as:

· The hazard possible from misuse of the substance

· Precautions necessary for use, handling, and storage

· Emergency procedures for leaks, spills, fire and first aid

· Useful facts about the substance's physical or chemical properties

1.16.1.4 Work Area Specific Training. Because of hazardous substance may react differently depending on how it is used or the environment of the work area, the Contractor must conduct work area specific training; special training which takes the Contractor's operations, environment, and work policies into consideration. Work area training presents:

· The hazardous substances which are present in the work place and the hazards they pose

· Ways to protect against those hazards, such as protective equipment, emergency procedures, and safe handling

· Where the MSDS's are kept, and an explanation of the labeling system

· Where the Contractor's written Hazard Communication Program is located

1.16.1.5 The Written Hazard Communication Program. In accordance with OSHA requirements, the Contractor must prepare a written Hazard Communication Program. This document will be included in the Contractor's Accident Prevention Plan. This document states how the contractor plans to ensure that hazardous materials are appropriately labeled, how and where MSDS's will be maintained, and how employees will be provided with specific information and training.

1.20 PARTNERING

In order to most effectively accomplish this contract, the Government proposes to form a partnership with the Contractor to develop a cohesive building team. This partnership should involve BCE staff, facility users, Airport Authority, the Contracting Officer, Government’s AE, Contractor’s design and construction management team, and perhaps, primary subcontractors. This partnership would strive to develop a cooperative management team drawing on the strengths of each team member in an effort to achieve a quality project within budget and on schedule. This partnership would be bilateral in membership and participation will be totally voluntary. Any costs associated with effectuating this partnership will be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor and Government shall be responsible for their own labor and travel costs. The offsite partnering meeting shall be scheduled after Contract NTP and take place in coordination with the preconstruction meeting.

1.21 SEQUENCE OF DESIGN-CONSTRUCTION

1.21.1 After receipt of the Contract Notice to Proceed (NTP), the Contractor shall initiate design, comply with all design submission requirements as covered under Sections 01021 - Design Submission Requirements after Award and 01331 - Submittal Procedures for Design/Build and obtain Government review of each submission. The Contractor may begin construction on portions of the work for which the Government has reviewed the final design submission, and all Government required revisions have been completed, revised documents resubmitted and are satisfactory to the Government. The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor by letter when the design is cleared for construction. The Government will not grant any time extension for any design re-submittal required when, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, the initial submission failed to meet the minimum quality requirements as set forth in the Contract.

1.21.2 If the Government allows the Contractor to proceed with limited construction based on pending minor revisions to the reviewed Final Design submission, no payment will be made for any in-place construction related to the pending revisions until they are completed, resubmitted and approved by the Government.

1.21.3 No payment will be made for any in-place construction until all required submittals have been made, reviewed and are satisfactory to the Government.

The Government may review any or all Designer of Record approved submittals for conformance to the Solicitation and Accepted Proposal.

1.23.3 The Government will review all submittals designated as deviating from the Solicitation or Accepted proposal. Contracting Officer approval is required for any deviations from the Solicitation or Accepted Proposal. Government review is required for extensions of design construction submittals, used to define contract conformity, and for deviation from the completed design. Review will be only for conformance with the contract requirements. Included are only those construction submittals for which the Designer of Record design documents do not include enough detail to ascertain contract compliance. All submittals not requiring Designer of Record or Government approval will be for information only. They are not considered to be “shop drawings” within the terms of the Contract Clause referred to above.

1.24 RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR FOR DESIGN

1.24.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy, and the coordination of all designs, drawings, specifications, and other non-construction services furnished by the Contractor under this contract.
