SECTION 012000 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE

A. Project provides for furnishing labor, material and equipment to repair and add to the existing parking lot between buildings 24 and 26 and provide ATFP compliant standoff distance to the adjacent buildings for the Connecticut Air National Guard at Bradley Air National Guard Base, as described herein and shown on the Construction Drawings.

B. The Contractor shall be responsible for all requirements described in the contract documents and all work including that of his Subcontractor(s), if any, shall be performed in accordance with the contract documents. Contractor’s failure to become familiar with these requirements will not relieve the Contractor of responsibility to comply with the Contract requirements.

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(s) or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade.

1.2 WORK SCHEDULING

A. Normal base work hours for the Contractor will be between the hours of 7:15 AM thru 4:00 PM, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays. If the Contractor desires to work during periods other than above, he must notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) three (3) working days in advance of his intention to work during other periods to allow assignment of additional inspection forces and for notification of fire, security and safety.

When the COR determines that they are reasonably available, he 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).

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

Project No. CEKT132211 Type B-3 (100%) Submission

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS SECTION 012000

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 Contractor Officer (or his/her 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, email 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.

1.3 ENTRY TO BASE/ACCESS TO SITE

A. Connecticut Air National Guard 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 COR five working days prior to the start of work under the contract. The preferred method of providing this list is via email, to the contract administrator. 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. See Section 01501, Security Procedures for additional requirements.

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 COR may be required to stop work on this contract for security reasons. Contractor shall ensure the COR has a current “Off Duty” contact name and telephone number at all times to facilitate notification.

D. Contractors and subcontractors shall comply with 103 AWI 31-102.

E. Access and General Protection/Security Policy and Procedures. This standard language is for contractor employees with an area of performance within Government controlled installation, facility, or area. The contractor shall comply with all applicable installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures, which may be obtained from the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by the local installation’s Security Forces, Director of Emergency Services or local Security Office. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DoD, HAF and/or local policy. Should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

F. For Contractors that do not require CAC, but require access to a DoD Facility and/or Installation.

Contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with adjudication standards and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) (AFI 31-101 and AFI 10-245), applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by government representative), or, at OCONUS locations, in accordance with status of forces agreements and other theater regulations.

H. Requirement for OPSEC Training. In accordance with AFI 10-701, Operations Security, OPSEC

PMs/Coordinators will provide OPSEC training or training materials to contract employees within 90 days of employees’ initial assignment to the contract and annually thereafter. General organizational orientations may need to be supplemented by duty-related orientations in the work center targeted toward specific critical information and vulnerabilities associated with the work.

Reference Contract Clause FAR 52.236-3, “Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work”.

D. For elements of the project where existing conditions are shown, all dimensions shown on the drawings are based on “as-built” record drawings and, to the extent possible, accurately represent existing conditions; however, there may be some variance between existing conditions and contract drawings. The Contractor is responsible for verifying all dimensions and for reporting to the COR any discrepancies that may affect performance of the work represented by contract drawings and specifications.
