approximately two (2) day period during the initial construction phase of the
airfield pavement work, ideally during the Preparatory and/or Initial Phase
Inspections. The APW is conducted by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Transportation Systems Center (TSC) and provides additional direction and
technical support during start-up activities for the construction phase for
airfield pavement projects executed by USACE. The APW may include a group
presentation, observation and analysis of test section construction,
verification of plant calibration, and observation of work quality during
early phases of concrete paving.
To ensure the maximum amount of operational readiness for the base, the
construction of the facilities at each base may require phasing of the
construction. In the event that phasing of construction is required, the

runways and/or taxiways during construction. The Foreign Objects Damage
control plan shall be submitted as soon as practicable, but in any event not

start of any work on or near aircraft runways or taxiways. No work will be
allowed near any runways or taxiways without approval of the FOD control
plan by the Contracting Officer.
Tracking mud from the construction site or staging area onto adjacent
airfield pavements shall not be allowed. A temporary stabilized stone pad
shall be constructed at points where vehicular traffic will be leaving the
construction site and staging area. It shall extend the full width of the
vehicular ingress and egress area and have a minimum length of 21 m. The
entrance shall be maintained in a condition which will prevent tracking or
flow of mud onto adjacent airfield pavements. If conditions are such that the
majority of the mud is not removed by the vehicles traveling over the stone,
then the tires of the vehicles shall be washed before entering the road or
airfield pavement. Any mud which is tracked onto airfield pavements due to
Contractor operations shall be removed immediately by the Contractor.
At all times when any performance of the work at any site is being conducted
by any employee of the Contractor or its subcontractors, suppliers, or
vendors at any tier, the Contractor shall have a representative present at

Officer shall have the right to determine whether the proposed representative
has sufficient technical and lingual capabilities, and the Contractor shall
immediately replace any individual not acceptable to the Contracting Officer.
Prior to the start of any work activity which requires excavation within the

Contractor shall be promptly repaired by the Contractor. The Contracting
Officer will review and approve any proposed repairs. Any damage to existing
utilities will be immediately reported to the Contracting Officer and the
Base.
1.11.1 General
Any outage of any utility service shall be requested in writing through the
Contracting Officer to the Base at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the
date requested for the commencement of the outage. The Contractor shall
provide a request, detailing the type of outage needed (water, sewer,
electrical, steam, etc.), the time needed to perform the work, the reason for
the outage, and the known affected facilities. The Contracting Officer shall
be contacted prior to the outage to confirm the time and date. If the
Contractor fails to initiate work at the approved time, the Contracting
Officer may cancel the approved outage and may direct the Contractor to
resubmit a new request. No part of the time lost due to the Contractors
failure to properly schedule an outage shall be made the subject of claim for
extension of time or for excess costs or damages by the Contractor.
To minimize outage impact to the mission of the Base, all outages shall be
scheduled on weekends from 2100 - 0530 hours on duty days. The period
proposed for performance of the outage shall include sufficient contingencies
to preclude impact to the peak working hours 0530 - 1800 hours during the
work week.
Prior to any excavation, a metal and/or cable detecting device shall be used
along the route of the excavation. All underground utilities discovered by
this method will be flagged a minimum distance of one-half (1/2) meter on
each side of the location.
Hand excavation methods and special supervisory care shall be used between
any flagged markers, in areas of known or suspected hazards, and in areas
known or suspected to have multiple and/or concentrated utility lines or
connections.

shall be removed at his expense, and affected systems returned to their
original, or better, condition.

all electric current required by the Contractor shall be the responsibility
of the Contractor, furnished at his own expense. On site power
transformation and distribution will be the responsibility of the
contractor. The Contractor shall provide diesel generators to meet his
demand requirements. The Contractor shall provide the fuel for any
contractor provided generators. The Government will provide permanent
