I am looking for some help in regards to language I can insert into specs for maintaining a non-interraction policy between Contractrs and their subs with students, faculty, and staff on campus. Any help would me most appreciated.
Prime directive - don’t make contact or interfer with the native culture until after the have warp technology.
Make it so number one.
Sorry could not resist the Star Trek reference . . .
Scott-
It’s an Owner policy? If so, it probably should be in Division 00 and not in Division 01. If it is an existing document, drop it into a logical place like 00 73xx. If it is “cut and paste” language from the Owner and you have a Supplementary Conditions document, add it there.
In any event, I don’t see it as Division 01.
In our Div. 01 Summary of Work, we have an article regarding Job Site Rules.
Normally these are owner’s rules for the plants we work in and cover a variety of situations from smoking to wearing of jewelry to protective/ sanitary coverings. Also necessity to keep owner in operation during construction without disruption[sort of a sideways allusion to your siutation]
Would think your need could be met in a similar fashion with proper text and sourcing
Ralph-
But does your Summary Section only alert the Contractor to the Owner’s requirements, which are specified in detail in Division 00, or does it actually spell out the rules within the Division 01 Section?
Depending on the client and the form and size of the document, we have included some directly as an appendix/attachment to the Div. 01 Section.
Most often, the document is listed and included as an “Owner’s document” under Bidding Information in Div. 00. The Div. 01 reference and requirement is retained in addition.
It should be noted that this is sometimes done for the protection of construction personnel not the students/faculty/adminstation.
For K-12 public school work in California, separation of construction personnel from students is the law. Therefore, I include a paragraph where special project procedures are specified in Division 01:
“#. Contractor’s attention is directed to “Notice of Contractors Regarding Criminal Records Checks (Education Code section 45125.1)” and “Certification by Contractor or Subcontractor, Criminal Records Check,” included under the BIDDING AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS heading in the Project Manual. These documents, implementing provisions of AB 1610 and AB 1612, restrict contact between personnel employed by Contractor, subcontractors and material suppliers and students.”
I have a section 00 73 64 titled “Contractor Employee Requirements” that is a compilation of various client requirements (mostly private sector) I’ve encountered over the years. Happy to share it if you want it. jmcgrann@baskervill.com.
I am the specifier for the 5th largest school district in the US and we certainly prohibit contact between construction workers, students, faculty, and staff. Our attorneys have crafted language regarding security that we briefly touch upon in our General Conditions and then we address more specifically in Div-1.
Here in Florida we are governed by the Jessica Lunsford Law that requires every person (other than students) must be finger printed and have a back ground check in order to set foot on occupied school property (this includes me and the Yoohoo truck driver).
If you’d care to post your email address I’d be happy to send you our Div-1 doc.
One university client stipulated an 8 foot wood wall surrounding construction projects on the grounds. This was aimed at preventing disruption and “fraternization.” When the workers started hanging over the walls to make cat calls at the women walking by, the owner added full time security supervision to the crew.
A stipulation concerning abiding by owner restrictions should be added to the conditions. Including an owner document is best; integrating the restrictions into a Use of Site article in Division 01 is probably second best. Reading the Riot Act at the Preconstruction Meeting and every progress meeting - necessary. Removing an offending worker from the project early on: priceless.
