PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.1 PRESERVATION OF NATURAL FEATURES
A. General: The Contractor shall comply with the following work restrictions:
1. Prevent damage to natural surroundings.
2. Provide temporary barriers to protect existing trees, tree roots, plants, grass areas and lawns that are directly impacted by construction operations. Temporary barriers should be free-standing orange traffic delineator posts with grabber / looper tops and plastic rails.
3. Do not fasten ropes, cables, or guys to existing trees, rock outcrops, or other natural features.
4. Do not remove, injure, or destroy existing trees, tree roots, or plants without approval by the
Contracting Officer or unless it’s explicitly required in the contract documents.
5. If a tree, tree branch, root, or mass of vegetation is preventing the Contractor from completing the work, notify the Contracting Officer immediately for a determination. Trees may need to be surveyed by park staff for bird nests prior to removal. Tree removal / trimming may be subject to additional restrictions if project is in Hawaiian hoary bat habitat.
6. Carefully supervise the excavation, grading, filling, equipment movement, and other construction operations near trees and tree branches to prevent damage.
3.2 INVASIVE SPECIES PREVENTION – NOT APPLICABLE
3.3 INVASIVE SPECIES INSPECTIONS – NOT APPLICABLE

Workers must obey all park regulations and drivers must obey all traffic laws and watch for
WORK RESTRICTIONS (01 11 40) Page 2 of 3 animals on or alongside roads or within the project area. Contact NPS Dispatch at: (808) 985- 6170 immediately if an animal is hit or injured or will not move off the road.
B. General Mitigations: Within the project area, the following mitigation measures are required to minimize disturbance to T&E species:
1. The project area shall be cleaned-up at the end of each work shift so that tools, materials, debris, and trash are not left out in a manner that could be a hazard to T&E species.
2. Noise and vibrations from tools and equipment shall be kept to a minimum when working in the vicinity of a listed T&E species.
3. Hazmat spill prevention protocols shall be employed when using gas-powered equipment.
4. Tarps shall be used to contain all paint chips and building debris from exterior surfaces as these can be hazards to listed T&E species.
5. Ensure no standing water on tarps or other construction surfaces as it may be a breeding ground for mosquitoes which may carry Dengue fever, avian malaria / flu, and other diseases.
6. Ensure loose nails, screws, and fasteners do not fall on the ground when working on exterior surfaces as these can be a hazard to T&E species. If they do land on the ground, pick them up immediately and dispose of them properly.
3.5 ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
A. General: Archaeological resources are physical evidence of past human activity, including evidence of the effects of that activity on the environment. Archaeological resources are found above and below ground and underwater. Known archeological resources will be marked and flagged by the park. Do not disrupt known archaeological resources or flagged areas during construction activities. If required in Section 01 11 00, PART 1.2.D, the Contractor shall erect temporary barriers around the archaeological resource to help ensure avoidance. Temporary barriers shall be free-standing orange traffic delineator posts with grabber / looper tops and plastic rails (or a comparable barrier that does not involve digging but is an effective barrier). Submit a CM-16 with the proposed temporary barrier product for NPS approval.
The Contractor does not need to provide an Archaeological Monitor; however, the Contractor, or Contractor’s designee, will observe all ground-disturbing activities during earthwork and other construction operations. If the Contractor discovers archaeological resources, the Contractor shall stop work, notify the Contracting Officer immediately, and relocate to a non-sensitive area.
The park may have an Archaeological Monitor present at the jobsite who is authorized to stop work upon discovery of archaeological resources. Archaeological resources typically found in the park or at the project site will be discussed at the preconstruction meeting.
3.6 SOUNDSCAPE / NOISE
A. General: The Contractor shall minimize noise levels at the project site to protect the soundscape of the park and minimize noise to staff, visitors, neighbors, and habitat. Perform operations to minimize noise. Perform noise-producing work in less sensitive hours of the day or week or as directed by the Contracting Officer. Repetitive and/or intermittent, high-level noise is permitted only during daytime hours. If the Contractor exceeds the thresholds below, the Contractor may be required to stop work, temporarily relocate to a non-sensitive area, or adjust the construction means and methods at no additional expense to the Government.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE (01 32 16) Page 1 of 2
SECTION 01 32 16 – CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
A. This section consists of Construction Schedule requirements including:
1. Schedule of Values
2. Construction Baseline Schedule
3. Construction Schedule Updates
4. Look-Ahead Schedule
B. Purpose: The construction schedule ensures adequate planning, coordination, scheduling, and reporting during execution of the Work by the Contractor. The construction schedule will assist the NPS and the Contractor in the monitoring the progress of the work, evaluating the proposed changes, and the processing the Contractor’s progress payments.
1.2 DEFINITIONS
A. Schedule of Values (SOV): A document that helps define the payment process on contracts. The SOV allocates the entire awarded contract sum to various portions or activities of the Contractor’s work. The value for each portion of work in the SOV shall generally coincide with the value(s) outlined in the accepted price proposal (where applicable).
B. Activity: A discrete part of a project identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources. Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They start and finish on the planned early start and finish times. Predecessor activities are activities that precede another activity in the schedule network. Successor activities are activities that follow another activity in the schedule network.
C. Critical Path: Longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the schedule network that establishes the minimum overall project duration and contains no float.
D. Float: Measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.
1.3 SUBMITTALS
A. Schedule of Values (SOV): Submit a schedule of values (SOV) with a breakdown of all major work activities for which progress payments will be requested. The SOV should identify the park, project title, contract number, and Contractor name. In addition, the SOV must also include the following columns (at a minimum): Item #, Activity Description, Total Contract Value ($), Previous Pay Applications ($), Work this Period ($), % Complete (%), and Balance to Complete ($). The SOV must also have a total value for all ($) columns.
Ensure each portion of work or activity is assigned to the appropriate Contract Line Item (CLIN), Bid Option, or Contract Modification. Ensure an updated SOV is submitted with each invoice.
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE (01 32 16) Page 2 of 2
Ensure the SOV is updated with each contract modification. Failure to submit an accurate SOV reflecting the work completed at the time of invoice submission may delay invoice approval.
B. Construction Baseline Schedule: Submit a construction baseline schedule with all major work activities. At a minimum, the schedule must have the following information:
• Milestone: Contract Award (actual date)
• Activity: Permit Applications & Approvals, if applicable
• Activity: Division 01 Plan Preparation & Review
• Milestone: Preconstruction Meeting & Notice to Proceed (anticipated)
• Activity: Material Submittal Preparation & Review
• Activity: Material Purchasing & Delivery
• Activity: Initial Invasive Species Inspections & Field Mobilization
• Activities: All Major Work Activities (with start and end dates) with critical path identified
• All Federal and State Holidays.
• Activities: Testing and Service Interruptions
• Milestone: Pre-Final Inspection (at Substantial Completion)
• Activity: Punchlist Completion (within 30 days after Substantial Completion)
• Milestone: Final Inspection (within 30 days after Substantial Completion)
• Activity: Field Demobilization (after all field work is complete and accepted)
• Activity: Preparation of Final Closeout Documents
• Milestone: End Contract Period of Performance
MS Project is the preferred computer software for developing a construction schedule; however, the NPS will accept any format that relays the requested information and can be easily updated and understood. No work shall be performed or shown on weekends, state, and federal holidays.
Ensure coordination of the work with subcontractors and vendors in the development of the construction schedule and schedule updates.
C. Construction Schedule Updates: Submit updates to the construction baseline schedule: 1) when requested, 2) when there is a change to the critical path, 3) when the previously approved schedule is no longer accurate, or 4) when there is a change to the contract such as a modification.
Construction schedule updates must be approved in advance of the Work.
D. Look-Ahead Schedule (Optional): The Contractor may submit a 1-3 week look-ahead schedule at the beginning of each week to notify the NPS of planned work and potential disruption to park operations. The look-ahead schedule typically shows proposed work planned for each day of the week. The look-ahead schedule does not need to be approved, but it must be consistent with the approved schedule. If the look-ahead schedule is not consistent with the approved schedule, submit a construction schedule update for approval. The look-ahead schedule can be submitted in any format, but weekly / monthly calendar view seems to work well.
