Contact the Pepper Safety Department for assistance. permanent building power. An Assured Grounding Program is strongly recommended, in addition to the use of GFCIs. The requirement for this program is left to the discretion of the Pepper Construction site Superintendent. CRANES Areas within the swing radius of all cranes must be barricaded to prevent employees or other persons from being struck by, or caught in, the counterweight assembly. It is strictly prohibited for personnel to ride the load or the headache ball. Safety latches are required on all crane hooks. Cranes may not be operated within ten feet of energized electrical transmission or power lines. A positive locking device (anti two block) must be installed and functioning, if crane is equipped with such device. Personnel are strictly forbidden from riding on material hoisting equipment at any time! TEMPORARY ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Temporary electrical power, such as receptacle and lighting wire, may not be installed on Pepper Construction sites as open conductors. Open conductors are copper conductors covered with one layer of insulating material. Temporary electrical service conductors, unless installed in metallic raceways, must utilize flexible cords and cables which carry the trade name “HARD SERVICE” or “JUNIOR HARD SERVICE”, as defined in the 2002 edition of the NEC/Article 400/Table 400.4. Acceptable cord designations include: Type Letter S (and their derivatives) designated “HARD” or “EXTRA HARD” use. MATERIAL HANDLING FOR MULTI-STORY STRUCTURES The practice of swinging or pulling a suspended load into a building by any method is strictly prohibited. This practice places employees, equipment and the structure at substantial and unnecessary risk. This operation must be analyzed in the sitespecific safety plan. The subcontractor could be contractually required to hoist their own material. Proper loading systems including, but not limited to: a. material/man hoists b. platform lifts c. crane/landing platform or lookout If guardrails are removed on landing platforms, lookouts or hoists, personal fall protection must be provided for exposed employees. Additionally, flagging must be installed to warn of fall hazard or unprotected edge condition. ENERGIZED SOURCES ELECTRICAL SAFETY As stated in OSHA Subpart K, guarding of energized parts must be provided by either the permanent, or an acceptable temporary, cover. Non-conductive material is acceptable for temporary covers. Cardboard is not an acceptable temporary cover. All temporary covers must have a positive fastening device to secure it to the panel. Magnetic temporary covers may only be used during the work shift for guarding while the personnel responsible for the open panel are required to leave the “immediate” area. Magnetic covers may not be used overnight or if tradesmen will not be present for the next shift. It is acceptable to leave a panel open if the area that contains the panel is secured or isolated per the requirements of OSHA 1926.403 (i)(2). ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ENVIRONMENTAL Subcontractors are responsible for maintenance of their extension cords, electrical tools and equipment. Defective extension cords and equipment shall be removed from service immediately. OSHA requires daily inspection of extension cords, tool cords and equipment cords. This inspection must include ground plugs, insulation and exposed conductors. All persons must use GFCIs at all times, even if using Respiratory hazards, environmental concerns and the handling of materials that may present acute or chronic health hazards must be addressed in a site specific safety plan. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are to be supplied by each contractor and will be kept on file in the Pepper Field Office. PAGE 4 Page 55 CM Manual Naperville Regional Center Renovation 1223 Rickert Drive, Naperville Illinois, 60540 DIVISION 0 - CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT MANUAL utilities, the SUBCONTRACTOR must consult with the Pepper Construction site Superintendent about alternative action plans. EXCAVATIONS If a subcontractor-controlled employee is involved in the creation of, or working in, any trench or excavation, that subcontractor must provide an on-site COMPETENT PERSON. For the purposes of Subpart P, the competent person must have certification of task specific training in excavations and trenches. This documentation must be provided to the Pepper Construction site Superintendent. Whenever an excavation or trench is required by the subcontractor, it is their responsibility to contact JULIE or DIGGER (or other “One Call Locate” service. Work may not start until these dig numbers have been submitted to the Pepper Construction site Superintendent and the schedule of excavation approved. In the event underground utilities have been identified within 30’ of intended excavation, the PCC Critical Dig protocol will be implemented. FALL PROTECTION A fall protection program is designed to prevent employees from suffering an injury due to a fall from an elevation. Due to the extreme severity of fall related injuries, subcontractors must exercise every precaution required. The use of fall protection systems and equipment is required an all Pepper Construction jobsites. Any employee found to be in violation of Pepper Construction’s Fall Protection requirements is subject to immediate removal from the jobsite. A “Fall Protection System” is defined as some engineered, physical means or methods that are designed to eliminate a fall exposure to employees. Under OSHA 1926 Subpart M, it is required to provide “Guard Rail Systems, Safety Net Systems or Personal Fall Arrest Systems”. Excavations must be barricaded in order to protect pedestrian and vehicular traffic from entering. Spoils must be piled a minimum of two (2) feet away from the edge of the excavation or trench. The excavation must be sloped or benched per OSHA standards, shored and/or safeguarded through the use of a trench box or other engineered earth retention device(s) when excavation reaches five (5) feet or greater in depth. Protection against cave-in at a depth of less than five (5) feet may be required if the COMPETETENT PERSON determines that soil or other conditions warrant such protection. General Requirement: Fall protection is required whenever employees are exposed to falls of six (6) feet or greater. OSHA Subpart M states that there may be work activities which qualify for an exception to the six (6) foot rule; however it continues to state, “there is a presumption that it is feasible and will not create a greater danger to implement at least one of the above referenced systems.” Pepper Construction supports this presumption of feasibility and any exception must have the approval of the Pepper Construction Safety Department and site Superintendent. It has been demonstrated that effective fall protection can be provided for many concrete leading edge operations, pre-cast plank and double-T erection and many low sloped (4 in 12 or less) roofing operations. It is required that the appropriate fall protection systems be provided. This must be addressed in the Site Specific Safety Plan which each subcontractor is contractually required to provide to Pepper Construction. When performing roofing work, any employee engaged in the installation of sheet metal materials, including but not limited to flashing, coping caps, etc., must use an acceptable means of fall protection. Other trade tasks unrelated to roofing work being performed on low-sloped roofs must implement Check all excavation walls before entering a trench or excavation after heavy rains and during a thaw cycle. Inspect and check shoring systems integrity, provide an adequate means of egress or access from the excavation. Stairways, ladders or ramps must be provided for this purpose, located a maximum of twenty five (25) feet apart whenever the excavation depth is four (4) feet or greater. Observe all applicable guidelines for the use of extension ladders or job-made gang ladders. UTILITIES Equipment operators and truck drivers must not to operate closer than the recommended distances from overhead or underground electrical wires. If work is required near these PAGE 5 Page 56 CM Manual Naperville Regional Center Renovation 1223 Rickert Drive, Naperville Illinois, 60540 DIVISION 0 - CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT MANUAL a “Controlled Access Zone.” This must be created with flagging or barricades, established a minimum of fifteen (15) feet from unprotected sides or edges. A flagged or barricaded path must be established and maintained from the point of access to the controlled access zone. Any employee outside the controlled access zone must utilize an acceptable means of fall protection. A controlled access zone (CAZ) may be established and used by the masonry contractor performing the work, only after the masonry contractor has determined that the use of fall protection systems such as guardrails, personal fall arrest systems, safety nets, etc. are not possible, as documented by the masonry contractor’s qualified and Competent Person. This documentation (included in a Fall Protection Plan) must be compiled and presented to the assigned Pepper superintendent and the Pepper Safety Department by the masonry contractor prior to performing the work. Review and acceptance of this plan will not relieve the masonry contractor of its responsibility to perform due to diligence in determining what alternative systems be available to provide full, positive fall protection (in place of CAZ usage). FLOOR OPENINGS & PERIMETER PROTECTION Guardrails are provided at the perimeter, stairway openings and shaft openings. Smaller floor openings are to be covered and secured. This is to ensure the safety of all personnel on the job site. If a subcontractor finds it necessary to remove a guardrail or an opening cover, an authorized Pepper Construction representative must be notified and the removal and replacement of the protective device is to be coordinated with them. This procedure is critical in assuring that these systems maintain their required protective designs. Should a subcontractor damage any protective system, they must notify an authorized Pepper Construction supervisor immediately. Do not remove or repair these systems without notifying Pepper Construction. Whenever rails or covers are removed, employees must be protected through the use of appropriate fall protection systems. Failure to replace protective systems may subject the responsible employee to removal from the jobsite. Further, failure to replace protective system will result in Pepper Construction performing this work and the cost for this activity will not be negotiable, based on the SUBCONTRACT AGREEMENT, with the respective firm. FIRE SAFETY FLAMMABLE STORAGE Gasoline and other flammables must be stored in NFPA approved containers and the limits of quantities stored must meet local, state and/or federal regulations. Flammables must be stored in properly labeled containers (HAZCOM requirement). FIRE PROTECTION Smoking is strictly forbidden in areas where flammables are stored or used and “NO SMOKING” signs must be posted and obeyed. Good housekeeping practices are the single most important element of fire protection. Combustible materials must be placed in trash receptacles and removed from the building in a timely fashion. Accumulation of trash will not be tolerated. When portable heaters are used, make certain they are placed well away from combustible materials. When welding, cutting or using flammable materials, it is the responsibility of the subcontractor to provide adequate fire extinguishers at the work area. A fire watch shall be maintained whenever welding, cutting or spark producing operations take place. A Pepper Construction Burn Permit must be obtained prior to work start. This Burn Permit must be signed and completed by an authorized Pepper Construction representative. The Pepper MASONRY FALL PROTECTION (OVERHAND OPERATIONS) OSHA 1926.501(b)(9)(i) states that, “Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this section, each employee performing overhand bricklaying and related work six (6) feet (1.8m) or more above lower levels, shall be protected from falling by guardrail systems , safety net systems, personal fall arrest systems, or shall work in a controlled access zone. PAGE 6 Page 57 CM Manual Naperville Regional Center Renovation 1223 Rickert Drive, Naperville Illinois, 60540 DIVISION 0 - CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT MANUAL Construction site Superintendent may designate an authorized person for this purpose. All guidelines contained within that burn permit must be followed. Fire extinguishers are not to be tampered with, removed from their assigned locations (except for emergency use) or vandalized. If discharged for any reason, the fire extinguisher must be replaced or recharged immediately. LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS (L-P GAS) Storage of L-P Gas within buildings is strictly prohibited. L-P Gas containers, when in use, must stand on a substantially level, firm surface and secured in an upright position to prohibit falling, tipping or toppling of containers. Heating equipment must be located at least 6 feet from L-P Gas containers and the heat directed away from the containers. HAND & POWER TOOLS Craftsmen will not be issued defective or severely worn hand or power tools. Handles, heads, cutting edges and bodies shall be inspected daily and immediately removed from service if found defective or inoperable.

In accordance with the scope of work, bidders are instructed to be advised of the following: Item 1 – equipment specification change Please replace: SI 3C LP Ceiling - 4" Back Can, Pair 42-103-13 With: SI 26CT Ceiling - 8" Back Can, Pair 42-070-03 throughout the specifications. Total quantity of this item required remains the same. Item 2 – question regarding alternate cable products This question was received via email: “I have a question concerning alternate cable products. In one section I saw that you need to provide documentation with your response showing how your alternate equals or exceeds the specified product. In another section I saw that you must provide a two foot section of any alternate cable. And in a third section I thought I saw a statement that these are considered the COD standard which implies to me alternates would not be accepted.” ANSWER: Alternate cables will be considered provided that the vendor proposes an alternate following the steps outlined in the bid. This includes submitting documentation demonstrating how the alternate equals or exceeds the specifications of the specified product and providing a sample of the substitute product. Degradation of digital video signals is a major cause of system issues. Extron cable assemblies are engineered to support the high resolution demands of digital video signals. Rise and fall times, signal swing, and timing accuracy are all subject to degradation in digital signal transmission caused by cable attenuation, cable capacitance, impedance mismatch, noise coupling, crosstalk, and so forth. Any alternate cables must meet or exceed the specifications of the Extron cables. An acceptable alternative is Crestron cabling. 1 Purchasing Department 425 Fawell Boulevard Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137-6599 http://www.cod.edu PHONE (630) 942-2813 NRC Audio Visual Installation Addendum #1 Item 3 – question regarding insurance requirements This question was received via email: “I have copied a section from the bid under terms and condition. For the highlighted area our insurance company takes this to mean. ‘If there was a catastrophic event that exceeded the insurance limits specified in the bid, then the AV installation company would be liable for any amount exceeding the insurance limits.’ If we are correct in our understanding. What happens to our bid response if the AV installation company writes in an exception stating that once the insurance money runs out, there is no additional recourse against the AV installation company? VI) Terms and Conditions The insurance provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a limitation of the responsibilities and liabilities pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to liability for claims in excess of the insurance limits and coverage’s set forth herein.” ANSWER: If the AV installation contractor includes an exception in its bid, they would be disqualified as nonresponsive.
