SECTION 1 – Requirements

1.0 Scope: Contractor shall furnish all labor, tools, parts, materials, facilities, and transportation necessary to replace approximately 38 concrete pavement panels with joint sealant at parking lot of Building 99. Attached drawings will show location of what concrete pavement panels are to be removed and replaced. All concrete pavement panels are approximately 10 feet by 10 feet.

1.1 Character of Task: The work to be done shall consist of furnishing all the necessary labor, material, and equipment for the analysis, construction, installation, maintenance, and/or repair of all work described in Paragraph 1.4 and throughout this Statement of Work. The work shall be executed in the highest quality attainable, in a manner consistent with the key provisions described below.

1.2 Background: Parking lot was constructed in the Mid 1990s and is constructed of non-reinforced and non-doweled four (4) inch concrete in the parking areas and five (5) inch concrete in the roadway areas. The parking lot has drainage structures located within the limits of projects. These drainage structures are separate from the pavements, because the drainage structures have been boxed around. Expansion material has been extended completely through the pavements and curbs. All joints that fell within five (5) feet of, or contacted a catch basin, manhole or other structure, one or more panels was shortened on either side of the opening to allow the joint to fall on round structures and at / between corners of rectangular/square structures. All transverse joints extend through the curbs and are continuous across the pavements.

3. Submittals marked "not approved" or "disapproved," or "revise and resubmit," indicate noncompliance with the contract requirements or design concept, or that submittal is incomplete. Resubmit with appropriate changes. No work shall proceed for this item until resubmittal is approved.

4. Submittals marked "not reviewed" will indicate submittal has been previously reviewed and approved, is not required, does not have evidence of being reviewed and approved by Contractor, or is not complete. A submittal marked "not reviewed" will be returned with an explanation of the reason it is not reviewed. Resubmit submittals returned for lack of review by Contractor or for being incomplete, with appropriate action, coordination, or change.

2.11 Disapproved or Rejected Submittals:

A. Contractor shall make corrections required by the Contracting Officer.

Before submitting samples, the Contractor to assure that the materials or equipment will be available in quantities required in the project. No change or substitution will be permitted after a sample has been approved.

B. Match the approved samples for materials and equipment incorporated in the work. If requested, approved samples, including those which may be damaged in testing, will be returned to the Contractor, at his expense, upon completion of the contract. Samples not approved will also be returned to the Contractor at its expense, if so requested.

The APP shall interface with theContractor's overall safety and health program. Include any portions of the Contractor's overall safety and health program referenced in the APP in the applicable APP element and made site-specific. The Government considers the Prime Contractor to be the"controlling authority" for all work site safety and health of the subcontractors. Contractors are responsible for informing their subcontractors of the safety provisions under the terms of the contract and the penalties for noncompliance, coordinating the work to prevent one craft from interfering with or creating hazardous working conditions for other crafts, and inspecting subcontractor operations to ensure that accident prevention responsibilities are being carried out.

35

3. Once work begins, changes to the accepted APP shall be made with the knowledge and concurrence of the Contracting Officer, project superintendent, SSHO and quality control manager. Should any severe hazard exposure, i.e. imminent danger, become evident, stop work in the area, secure the area, and develop a plan to remove the exposure and control the hazard. Notify the Contracting Officer within 24 hours of discovery. Eliminate/remove the hazard. In the interim, take all necessary action to restore and maintain safe working conditions in order to safeguard onsite personnel, visitors, the public (as defined by ASSE/SAFE A10.34,) and the environment.

4. Copies of the accepted plan will be maintained at the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative office and at the job site. Continuously review and ammend the APP, as necessary, throughout the life of the contract. Incorporate unusual or high-hazard activities not identified in the original APP as they are discovered.

Provide the necessary containers, bins and storage areas to facilitate effective waste management and clearly and appropriately identify them. Provide materials for barriers and enclosures around recyclable material storage areas which are nonhazardous and recyclable or reusable. Locate out of the way of construction traffic. Provide adequate space for pick-upand delivery and convenience to subcontractors. Recycling and waste bin areas are to be kept neat and clean, and recyclable materials shall be handled to prevent contamination of materials from incompatible products and materials. Clean contaminated materials prior to placing in collection containers. Use cleaning materials that are nonhazardous and biodegradable.

2. Disposal: Control accumulation of waste materials and trash. Recycle or dispose of collected materials off-site at intervals approved by the Contracting Officer and in compliance with waste management procedures. Disposal shall be in accordance with the following:

a. Reuse: First consideration shall be given to salvage for reuse since little or no re-processing is necessary for this method, and less pollution is

36

created when items are reused in their original form. Coordinate reuse with the Contracting Officer. Sale or donation of waste suitable for reuse shall be considered.

The Contractor shall include these revisions in the project schedule until revisions are submitted and final changes andimpacts have been negotiated. If the Contractor has any objections to the revisions furnished by the Contracting Officer, advise the Contracting Officer within 1 week of receipt of the revisions. Regardless of the objections, the Contractor shall continue to update the schedule with the Contracting Officer's revisions until a mutual agreement in the revisions is reached. If the Contractor fails to submit alternative revisions within 1week of receipt of the Contracting Officer's proposed revisions, the Contractor will be deemed to have concurred with the Contracting Officer's proposed revisions. The proposed revisions will then be the basis for an equitable adjustment for performance of the work.

C. Approved Project Schedule:

2. Group activities by type of funding when multiple funding sources are used in the contract bid requirements. Such funding may types include but are not limited to: Repair, Minor Construction and Equipment.

In this circumstance, the Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to increase the number of shifts, overtime operations, days of work, and/or the amount of construction plant, and to submit for approval any supplementary schedule or schedules as the Contracting Officer deems necessary to demonstrate how the approved rate of progress will be regained.

1. The contractor shall, thereafter submit AF Form 3065, Contract Progress Reports monthly (no later than the 5th day) to indicate the percentage of work completed for each element of work specified on your approved schedule. Negative reports are required. Since the contract inspector also submits a report, the contractor should coordinate his percent of progress with the inspector prior to submission to the contracting officer.

2. Appropriate action shall be taken to resolve any significant variances of five percent or more in the percent of progress reported by the contractor and the civil engineer.

E. Failure to submit the schedule and reports within the time required or failure to maintain progress in accordance with your progress schedule shall result in withholding of payment and/or other action as deemed appropriate by the contracting officer.
