Attachment A - SPECIAL OWNER REQUIREMENTS

CONTRACTOR’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL BUILDING PROGRAMS DEPARTMENT ALVIN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Revised: June 15, 2018

This manual is provided to contractors who perform services for Alvin ISD. Responsibility for compliance and education of the contractor’s staff, suppliers, and subcontractors is a contractual obligation of the individual or company with whom Alvin ISD has contracted to perform the work and services (here after referred to as contractor or prime contractor).

The contractor will be required to acknowledge receipt and understanding of this document prior to moving onto any Alvin ISD site or property and beginning work.

A. Contractor’s Safety Program

The prime contractor will have a written safety program that is communicated and enforced with construction personnel during the course of performing the contract or services. A written copy of the program will be provided to AISD.

As part of the contractor’s safety program education, the contractor will be responsible for and ensure that all construction workers, subcontractors, suppliers, etc are made aware of AISD’s safety requirements and instructions as included herein.

B. General Requirements

1. All construction related personnel are to confine their activities to their specific job work areas. There will be no loitering or access to unauthorized areas of the campus or facility. Use of AISD toilet facilities, cafeteria, or vending areas by construction personnel is prohibited. 2. Potentially hazardous work areas and excavations are to be secured and provided with warning signs, fencing, shoring, shields, guard rails or other adequate protection and warning signage consistent with acceptable standards of safety and as dictated by law. 3. All contractor equipment and tools on AISD facilities must have designed safety guards and accessories intact, functional, and in use. Equipment or devices whose safety certification has been damaged or compromised will not be used or brought onto AISD job sites. 4. It is the obligation and responsibility of the Prime Contractor, their subcontractors, and all related construction personnel to practice appropriate safety techniques to protect the health and well being of themselves, their co- workers, AISD staff, and students. 5. It is the obligation and responsibility of the Prime Contractor to insure that all State and Federal laws pertaining to criminal history checks are met in order to insure that any on-site job related employee is cleared to be on an Alvin ISD facility that may be occupied with students. 6. Radios, cassette players, jam boxes, etc that broadcast music publicly are not allowed.

C. Drugs and Alcohol

Illegal drugs and intoxicants are explicitly excluded from access or use on any Alvin ISD owned or controlled property. Those in possession or under the influence of illegal drugs or intoxicants are specifically excluded from access to any AISD property or facility. 21

Violation will result in immediate removal from AISD property and prosecution as appropriate

D. Weapons and Firearms

Weapons and firearms, as defined by Alvin ISD Police Department, are strictly prohibited from access onto AISD property or facilities. Violation of this requirement will result in immediate removal from AISD property and prosecution as appropriate.

E. Tobacco Products

Use of tobacco products is not permitted on AISD property (including the perimeter of the property). Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the violator being removed from AISD property and exclusion from future access to AISD properties.

F. Dress Code and Conduct

At all times, construction personnel will be held accountable for wearing appropriate attire. More specifically, no clothing will be allowed on AISD properties that in the view point of AISD Administration or Police Department is outside the limits of acceptable standards for this school district. Specifically excluded are items of clothing that contain wording or graphics that may be viewed as offensive.

Shirts, long pants, and hard soled closed toed shoes will be worn at all times.

Loud, boisterous, and/or profane language will not be allowed.

Unauthorized interaction with AISD staff or students will not be tolerated. Any action by construction personnel that may be interpreted by AISD’s Administration or Police Department as harassing, offensive, teasing, annoying, or nuisance toward any student or staff member will result in immediate removal, permanent suspension of the offender from school property, and follow up prosecution if justified.

Courtesy and consideration of AISD staff and students by construction personnel is mandated and expected at all times.

When working on or around areas that are occupied and operational by AISD, care and consideration will be given to minimizing disruptions such as noise, dust, housekeeping, and any disruption of utilities that may impact ongoing AISD school or business operations.

G. Emergency Situations, Accidents, and Injuries

All situations that result in accidents, near accidents, injuries, or loss must be reported to AISD. As soon as emergency circumstances allow, the supervisor for the prime contractor must notify AISD Building Programs or the Maintenance Department of the occurrence. A written report must follow within 2 business days of the mishap. Included, as Attachment A is a listing of AISD emergency phone numbers.

H. Hazardous Communications Program

The contractor must have in place an effective HazCom program that complies with Federal Guidelines and Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations. All contractors and subcontractors must provide a Workplace Chemical List (WPCL) and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on site for each chemical they expect to use during the construction project. Chemicals needing to remain on site must be stored according to MSDS guidelines. 22

Care should be taken to control use and reduce the quantity of on site hazardous materials.

I. Housekeeping and Debris Removal

The contractor is required to keep the entire project area clean and free from accumulation of excess debris at all times. Trash and debris must be managed to contain it on site and confined to the dedicated construction area. Trash will be controlled to eliminate objectionable and unsightly conditions and disposed of in a proper and timely manner. Public roads, parking, walks, etc. will be kept clear of mud and water. This section also pertains to the grounds keeping of all areas within the construction site and/or under the control of the contractor. All grass areas shall be routinely maintained to provide a neat appearance. This includes but is not limited to weed control around all fenced areas.

J. Parking, Staging, and Lay Down Areas

During construction, the contractor will be assigned and limit their activity to use of designated areas only. In no case will contractor personnel be allowed to park vehicles randomly in AISD staff or student parking spaces. The approved areas for parking, staging, and lay down will be defined during the pre- construction conference.

K. Disruptions to Utilities, Equipment, Roadways, and Building Safety Features

The availability of utilities, equipment, access roadways, and building safety features all work to insure safe and productive operation of Alvin ISD’s plant and facilities. Consistent with that is the need to manage and plan any disruption to the use of these items. Therefore, shutdowns must be requested, planned, and approved well in advance to minimize disruption to AISD’s operations. 1. Utilities and equipment: May be shut down and disrupted only when approved, scheduled, and planned in advance with AISD Maintenance Dept. 2. Fire alarms and sprinklers: May be shut down or disrupted only when approved, scheduled, and planned in advance with AISD Maintenance Dept. 3. Roadways and building access: may be shut down and disrupted only when approved, scheduled, and planned in advance with AISD Administration, Police, and Transportation departments.

L. Asbestos

Alvin ISD will endeavor to identify and/or remove or encapsulate any known asbestos containing materials within a project area prior to beginning a construction project.

In the event that any construction personnel encounter any materials suspected of being asbestos containing, they will immediately stop construction activity that would further disturb the ACM and notify AISD’s Project Manager. No further work should commence that would disturb the potential ACM or expose any workers or building occupants to risk of exposure until AISD has acted and authorized the work to commence.

At the completion of the project and as part of the contract close out, the prime contractor will provide a “Certificate of Asbestos Free Construction” Certifying that all products installed in the project within the scope of this contract are indeed asbestos free.

M. OSHA and EPA Compliance

In all cases, the contractor, his subcontractors, suppliers, and construction personnel will comply with any and all laws and regulations as set forth by the Occupational Safety and 23

Health Act and the Environmental Protection Agency. The prime contractor is responsible for enforcing these regulations and guidelines at all times. Failure to comply may be cause for cessation of work and termination of the contract.

N. Schedule for Completion

The contractor will include within their contract days an appropriate number of lost days due to average inclement or adverse weather conditions. Only weather related days that exceed the 5 year average for the number of days with ½ inch or greater rainfall as measured by the National Weather Service for the greater Houston area will be granted as extra contract time. No more than one mud day will accompany each rain day for the duration of the contract. Months containing less than the average rainfall will be credited back to the job schedule. Maintaining the site drainage and dewatering are the responsibility of the prime contractor and not valid reason for construction delay.

O. Warranty Work

AISD utilizes a Warranty Work Order Request Form to notify the contractor of items needing attention that may be covered under the contractual warranty periods; this will also include any manufacturers extended warranties. At the owner’s discretion, the first point of contact will always be the General Contractor whose responsibility will be to make any necessary contacts to subcontractors and/or manufacturers to initiate and facilitate the warranty claims process. Coordination of facility availability and access by subcontractors will be handled through the General Contractor. These requests are typically faxed to the contractor and will be marked as to the level of urgency each repair may warrant. AISD personnel will assign this level of urgency to each request depending upon the needs of the campus staff or students. There are three levels of urgency, each corresponding to an expected response time. Emergency: Immediate Response Urgent: Next Business Day Normal: Within 3 Business Days. Included on each Warranty Work Order Request will be a description of the needed repair along with any special working conditions or remarks that the contractor may need to be made aware of. Once the repairs have been completed, the request will need to be signed by the contractor’s representative as well as initialed by an AISD representative that has accepted the repairs. Preferably this would be the person whose name appears on the form as having initiated the request. This completed form will then need to be faxed or returned back to an AISD Building Programs Dept. representative. Completion of this process in its entirety is what will be considered as acceptable completion of a Warranty Work Order Request. If the contractor fails to respond in a timely manner or if safety, security, or well being of the building or its occupants is at risk, AISD reserves the right to complete the warranty work order at the expense of the prime contractor.

WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE COVERAGE

A. Definitions:

Certificate of coverage ("certificate")- A copy of a certificate of insurance, a certificate of authority to self-insure issued by the commission, or a coverage agreement (TWCC-81, TWCC-82, TWCC-83, or TWCC-84), showing statutory workers' compensation insurance coverage for the person's or entity's employees providing services on a project, for the duration of the project.

Duration of the project - includes the time from the beginning of the work on the project until the contractor's/person's work on the project has been completed and accepted by the governmental entity.

Persons providing services on the project ("subcontractor" in paragraph 406.096) - includes all persons or entities performing all or part of the services the contractor has undertaken to perform on the project, regardless of whether that person contracted directly with the contractor and regardless of whether that person has employees. This includes, without limitation, independent contractors, subcontractors, leasing companies, motor carriers, owner-operators, employees of any such entity, or employees of any entity which furnishes persons to provide services on the project. "Services" include, without limitation, providing, hauling, or delivering equipment or materials, or providing labor, transportation, or other service related to the project. "Services" does not include activities unrelated to the project, such as food/beverage vendors, office supply deliveries, and delivery of portable toilets.

B. The contractor shall provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts and filing of any coverage agreements, which meets the statutory requirements of Texas Labor Code, Section 401.011(44) for all employees of the contractor providing services on the project, for the duration of the project.

C. The Contractor must provide a certificate of coverage to the governmental entity prior to being awarded the contract.

D. If the coverage period shown on the contractor's current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project, the contractor must, prior to the end of the coverage period, file a new certificate of coverage with the governmental entity showing that coverage has been extended.

E. The contractor shall obtain from each person providing services on a project, and provide the governmental entity:

(1) certificate of coverage, prior to that person beginning work on the project, so the governmental entity will have on file certificates of coverage showing coverage for all persons providing services on the project; and

(2) no later than seven days after receipt by the contractor, a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project.

F. The contractor shall retain all required certificates of coverage for the duration of the project and for one year thereafter.

G. The contractor shall notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal delivery, within 10 days after the contractor knew or should have known, of any change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on the project.

H. The contractor shall post on each project site a notice, in the text, form and manner prescribed by the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission, informing all persons providing services on the project that they are required to be covered, and stating how a person may verify coverage and report lack of coverage.

I. The contractor shall contractually require each person with whom it contracts to provide services on a project, to: (1) provide coverage, based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts and filing of any coverage agreements, which meets the statutory requirements of Texas 37

Labor Code, Section 401.011(44) for all of its employees providing services on the project, for the duration of the project;

(2) provide to the contractor, prior to that person beginning work on the project, a certificate of coverage showing that coverage is being provided for all employees of the person providing services on the project, for the duration of the project;

(3) provide the contractor, prior to the end of the coverage period, a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project;

(4) obtain from each other person with whom it contracts, and provide to the contractor:

(a) a certificate of coverage, prior to the other person beginning work on the project; and

(b) a new certificate of coverage showing extension of coverage, prior to the end of the coverage period, if the coverage period shown on the current certificate of coverage ends during the duration of the project;

(5) retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the project and for one year thereafter;

(6) notify the governmental entity in writing by certified mail or personal delivery, within 10 days after the person knew or should have known, of any change that materially affects the provision of coverage of any person providing services on the project; and

(7) contractually require each person with whom it contracts, to perform as required by paragraphs (1) - (7), with the certificates of coverage to be provided to the person for whom they are providing services.

J. By signing this contract or providing or causing to be provided a certificate of coverage, the contractor is representing to the governmental entity that all employees of the contractor who will provide services on the project will be covered by workers' compensation coverage for the duration of the project, that the coverage will be based on proper reporting of classification codes and payroll amounts, and that all coverage agreements will be filed with the appropriate insurance carrier or, in the case of a self-insured, with the commission's Division of Self-Insurance Regulation. Providing false or misleading information may subject the contractor to administrative penalties, criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.

K. The contractor's failure to comply with any of these provisions is a breach of contract by the contractor which entitles the governmental entity to declare the contract void if the contractor does not remedy the breach within ten days after receipt of notice of breach from the governmental entity.

PROPERTY INSURANCE

The Contractor shall purchase and maintain property insurance upon the entire Work at the site to the full insurable value thereof. Such insurance shall be in a company or companies against which the Owner has no reasonable objection. This insurance shall include the interests of the Owner, the Contractor, Sub-Contractors and Sub-Subcontractors in the Work and shall insure against the perils of fire and extended coverage and shall include "All Risk" insurance for physical loss or damage including, without duplication of coverage, windstorm, theft, vandalism and malicious mischief. If not covered under the All Risk insurance or otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall effect and maintain similar property insurance on portions of the Work stored off of the site or in transit when such portion of the Work are to be included in an application for payment under Sub-paragraph 9.3.2. If this insurance is written with stipulated amounts deductible under the terms of the policy, the contractor shall pay the difference attributable to deductions in any payments made by the insurance carrier or claims paid by this insurance.

Before an exposure to loss may occur, the Contractor shall file with the Owner a copy of each policy that includes insurance coverages required by this Paragraph 11.3. 38

PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT BOND

CONTRACT SECURITY: Performance and Payment Bonds shall be required for all work where the Contract exceeds $25,000.00. After award of contracts by Owner, the successful Bidder, at Bidder's expense, must deliver to the Owner an executed Performance and Payment Bond in an amount of 100% of the accepted bid as security for the faithful performance of the Contract and payment of all persons performing labor and furnishing materials in connection with this Contract. Bonding Company must be licensed, listed, and approved in the State of Texas (State Board of Insurance). Bonding Company shall provide such other information as necessary to document net worth, stability, total bonding capacity, and projects under coverage, etc., with adequate financial capacity for this Project.

Such bonds shall meet the requirements of Chapter 2253 of the Texas Government Code.

Providing false or misleading information may subject the contractor to administrative penalties, criminal penalties, civil penalties, or other civil actions.
