The contractor’s organizational approach shall integrate with this staff to provide project management, project design/engineering, on-site superintendence, quality control and administration. 4. Ordering Procedures 4.1. As the need arises for performance under the terms of this contract, the Contracting Officer or authorized representative will issue a ‘Task Order Request for Proposal’ (TORFP) providing statement of work, specifications. The proposed project requirements, define the government evaluation method(s) to be used for subsequent award of Task Order, and establish the date, time and location of the pre-proposal site visit. 4.2. Normal Response Requirements: If the requirement is determined to be a normal response requirement by the Contracting Officer, the contractor shall submit a Task Order Proposal to fulfill the requirement within a maximum of fourteen (14) calendar days from written notification. Additional time may be allowed at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. 4.3. Quick Response Requirements: If the requirement is determined to be a quick response requirement by the Contracting Officer, the contractor shall submit a Task Order Proposal to fulfill the requirement within a maximum of seven (7) calendar days from written notification 4.4. During this period, a site visit with the contractor, Civil Engineering technical representative, and the Contracting Officer or representative shall take place to clarify the scope of the requirement and verify the existing conditions. The contractors shall email detailed site visit questions to the contracting officer within one (1) work day following the site visit. The Contracting Officer will provide a finalized scope of work by amendment to the TORFP within two (2) business days following submission of the site visit questions; unless determined otherwise by the Contracting Officer. 5. Project Locations 5.1. The geographic scope of this contract includes military installations throughout the State of Alaska. The primary location of work performed under this contract shall be on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER). For work to be performed at other locations, the Contracting Officer will provide site specific provisions with the request for proposal and resulting Task Order. The contractor shall accomplish all work under this contract in accordance with each Task Order. 6. Working Hours 6.1. Standard Working Hours for the contractor are for the period from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays. If the contractor desires to work during non-standard working hours, on a Standard Working Hours Task Order, additional Government inspection forces may be required. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing by email, three working days in advance of his/her intention to work during periods other than Standard Working Hours. This notification shall allow the inquiry into the availability of additional Government Inspectors. If the Contracting Officer confirms that additional Government Inspectors are reasonably available, the Contracting Officer may authorize the contractor to perform work during periods other than Standard Working Hours; however, if the Government Inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty days solely for the benefit of the contractor, the actual cost of inspection at overtime rates may be charged to the contractor.


Page 4 of 53

6.2. Non-Standard Working Hours will be defined on individual task orders and shall be outside the definition of the standard working hours and not in controlled areas. 6.3. Standard and Non-standard Work in Controlled areas will be specified in each affected task order. All work in restricted areas is assumed to be within standard working hours. All work inside of controlled areas may be subject to brief delays due to security processing (30 minutes time each process on and off per visit to the controlled area) or interruption to the normal work schedule to permit the completion of mission essential operations. Such interruptions, if required, will be given on short notice and expeditious action will be required. Each interruption may last up to sixty (60) minutes. The contractor shall not be compensated for said delays. 7. Submittals 7.1. Upon issuance of a Task Order, the contractor shall provide submittals as required by the specifications. The Contracting Officer may request submittals in addition to those specified when deemed necessary to adequately describe the work covered in the respective sections. Units of weights and measures used on all submittals shall be the same as those used in the contract drawings. Each submittal shall be complete and in sufficient detail to allow ready determination of compliance with contract requirements. Submittals shall include items such as: contractor’s work plans / schedules, material submittal register, samples, brochures, manufacturers data, product data sheets, shop drawings and/or certificates of materials (relative to the construction execution), contractor's, manufacturer's, or fabricator's drawings; descriptive literature including (but not limited to) catalog cuts, diagrams, operating charts or curves; test reports; test cylinders; samples; O&M manuals (including parts list); certifications; warranties; and other such required submittals. Contractor shall plan for, and submit all submittals requiring Government approval prior to the acquisition of the material or equipment covered thereby, in accordance with design criteria, specifications and Task Order Requirements. If the material submittals provided are in variance from the design criteria and/or contract specifications, the contractor shall describe such variations in writing at the time of submission and request a variance from the design criteria and/or contract specifications in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. Failure to provide such notification will not relieve the contractor from his responsibility of meeting the design criteria and/or contract specifications regardless of whether or not the submittal is approved by the Government. Material submittals shall be as specified under each specification section and be submitted in quadruplicate or on CD unless otherwise indicated; or in electronic format if approved by the Contracting Officer. All the material submittals as indicated in the applicable specification section shall be submitted at the same time. If the submittal requirement is listed on the drawings, all material submittals of like work shall be submitted simultaneously along with all corresponding specification sections. A system of standard submittals for each contractor will be used to minimize the submittal requirement. Failure to submit all material submittals associated with an individual specification section at the same time may be cause for rejection. 7.2. Approved Equal: The Statement of Work (SOW), drawings and the Technical Provisions of the specifications may, in some instances, refer to certain items of equipment, material, or article by trade name. References of this type shall not be construed as limiting competition, but shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality. 7.3. Submittal Classifications: Submittals are classified as follows: 7.3.1. Government Approved: Governmental approval is required for extensions of design, critical materials, deviations, equipment whose compatibility with the entire system must be checked, and other items as indicated on the Submittal Register or as designated by the Contracting Officer. Within the terms of the Contract Clause entitled “Specifications and Drawings for Construction,” they are considered to be “shop drawings”.

7.3.2. Re-Certification: Contractor shall provide the requested submittals for each task order unless otherwise specifically approved by the Contracting Officer for the task order in question. If approved and the contractor intends to use previously approved materials or equipment, a letter certifying the specific material or equipment in lieu of a submittal is acceptable. Certification letter will contain the task order number and approved electronic copies of AF Form 3000 submittal. 7.3.3. Approved Submittals: The Contracting Officer’s approval of submittals shall not be construed as a complete check, but will indicate only that the general method of construction, materials, detailed and other information are satisfactory. Approval will not relieve the contractor of the responsibility for any error that may exist, as the contractor under the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) requirements of this contract is responsible for dimensions, the design of adequate connections and details, and the satisfactory construction of all work. After submittals have been approved by the Contracting Officer, no resubmittal for the purpose of substituting materials or equipment will be considered unless accompanied by an explanation of why a substitution is necessary. 7.4. Disapproved Submittals: The contractor shall make all corrections required by the Contracting Officer and furnish a corrected submittal. Corrected submittals shall be submitted within seven (7) working days, or as required by the disapproved submittal, after receipt of disapproval, in the form and number of copies specified for the initial submittal. If the contractor considers any correction indicated on the submittals to constitute a change to the contract, a notice in accordance with the Contract Clause “Changes” shall be given promptly to the Contracting Officer. 7.5. Material Approval Submittal Form (Electronic AF IMT 3000, 20030901, V1) 7.5.1.

Submit the material submittals and shop drawings to the Contracting Officer for approval within fourteen (14) calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed for each task order. If additional time is required by the contractor to provide specific submittals, the contractor shall identify the submittals requiring the time extension and request an extension from the Contracting Officer; including the reason for the needed time extension and the date the submittals will be provided. The extension must be approved by the Contracting Officer. 7.5.2. Scheduling: Submittals covering component items forming a system or items that are interrelated shall be scheduled to be coordinated and submitted concurrently. Certifications to be submitted with the pertinent drawings shall be so scheduled. Adequate time (a minimum of fourteen (14) calendar days) shall be allowed for review and approval. 7.6. Submittal registers (AF Form 66): Submittal Registers shall be submitted by the contractor at the time the 90 percent design is submitted or within fourteen (14) calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed and prior to any material processing. 7.7. Control of Submittals: The contractor shall carefully control his procurement operations to ensure that each individual submittal is made on or before the contractor scheduled submittal date. 7.8.

Solid Waste Management Actions: [DESCRIBE CONTRACTOR ACTIONS TO REDUCE SOLID WASTE GENERATION] e.g. “Contractor will carefully calculate material quantities and sizes to reduce possibility of overages during material procurement. Contractor will give preference during material procurement to products with minimal packaging and products that are bio-based and/or recyclable. Contractor will encourage work crews to utilize re- usable beverage containers and encourage a ‘pack in/pack out’ program for worker generated waste including personal use items.” [DESCRIBE CONTRACTOR ACTIONS TO INCREASE DIVERSION. DESCRIBE EQUIPMENT AND CONTAINERS.] e.g. “Contractor will implement source-segregated diversion for the following materials: asphalt, metal, wood, and cardboard. The contractor will provide separate containers for each material listed above; containers will be clearly labeled to discourage contamination. Waste that cannot be diverted will be placed a single 8-CY top load dumpster clearly labeled “waste.” Containers will be hauled by XXX (insert hauler) to XXX (insert destinations, e.g. Alaska Metals, Central Recycling Services). OR, Contractor will implement co-mingled diversion for all materials generated on-site. The contractor will provide XX (insert quantity) containers for mixed debris.
