Acquisition Regulation 804.1102, Vendor Information Pages Database
VERIFICATION OF STATUS OF APPARENTLY SUCCESSFUL OFFEROR
(a) The apparently successful offeror, unless currently listed as verified in the Vendor
Information Pages (VIP) at: www.vetbiz.gov database, shall submit to Department of
Veterans Affairs' (VA) Center for Veterans Enterprise (CVE) within five business days of
receipt of written notice of its status as the apparently successful offeror, a verification

reasonably adequate documentary material, as necessary, establishing as follows:
(1) The owner or owners of 51 percent or more of the offeror is/are
service-disabled Veteran(s), Veteran(s), or an eligible surviving spouse
thereof, as applicable, for the instant acquisition. In this regard, the
apparently successful offeror shall submit a VA Form 0877 to CVE via
VA's VIP at: www.vetbiz.gov, internet site. This confidential and secure
electronic application will enable CVE to inform the CO of the
service-disabled Veteran or Veteran status of the owner(s) of the offeror
without the CO having to receive and secure confidential individually
identifiable information or personal health care information on this topic.
(2) Eligible parties own 51 percent or more of the concern (see 38
CFR 74.3). Adequate documentation can include copies of official stock
certificates, articles of incorporation, partnership agreement, operating
agreement, or other similar documentation which reasonably
demonstrates the percentage of ownership by eligible parties; and

cannot be verified as a SDVOSB or VOSB, as appropriate, and issue its decision
thereon to the vendor in accordance with 38 CFR 74.11(e) and to the CO. The CO

(c) If a competing vendor raises a status protest prior to CVE's completion of its
verification examination, the CO may rely on the status protest decision when issued.
(d) This deviation will expire December 31, 2011. Thereafter, in accordance with VAAR
804.1102, COs shall only make awards to SDVOSBs or VOSBs which are listed as verified
in VIP at: vvww.vetbiz.gov,

A.1 PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA
PART 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 SOURCE SELECTION USING THE LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE PROCESS
(LPTA): This is a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) that represents the best value to the Government conducted
under FAR Part 15, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. Award will be made on
the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost
factors. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly less important than price.
1.2 EVALUATION OVERVIEW: Proposals will be evaluated and ranked according to price, from
lowest to highest. The Government reserves the right to evaluate only the technical proposal of the lowest
price offeror. Other technical proposals may not be evaluated unless the Government determines the
lowest price offeror to be unacceptable or non-responsive. In the event the Government determines the
lowest price offeror to be unacceptable, the technical proposal of the next lowest price offeror will be
evaluated. This process will continue until a technical proposal is determined to be acceptable.

Government may use various price analysis techniques and procedures to make a price reasonableness
determination.

such cases the lowest offer will be the offer that is most advantageous to the Government and also
provides the most features of work based on the availability of funds.

understanding that the Government reserves the right to publically announce the total contract award

to a previous request, the offeror shall include the information and supporting data in the offer.
(c) Evaluation of offers. (1) The Government will evaluate an offer requesting exception to the
requirements of the Buy American Act, based on claimed unreasonable cost of domestic
construction material, by adding to the offered price the appropriate percentage of the cost of such
foreign construction material, as specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9.
(2) If evaluation results in a tie between an offeror that requested the substitution of foreign
construction material based on unreasonable cost and an offeror that did not request an exception,

unreasonable cost.
(d) Alternate offers. (1) When an offer includes foreign solicitation in paragraph (b)(2) of the

applies.
(3) If the Government determines that a particular exception requested in accordance with
paragraph (c) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9 does not apply, the Government will evaluate only
those offers based on use of the equivalent domestic construction material, and the offeror shall be

"Component" means any article, material, or supply incorporated directly into construction
material.
"Construction material" means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site
by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also
includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However,

systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are
produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material
regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the
construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction
material.
"Cost of components" means-(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including
transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the end product (whether or not such costs
are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is

test of the Buy American Act is waived for construction material that is a COTS item (See FAR
12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this
contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.
(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction
site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).
(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall
explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and
could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not
submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.
(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American
Act applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the
Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material.
However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction
material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i)
of this clause.
(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American Act applies,
use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act.
(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on
unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable
supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

CONTRACT CHANGES--SUPPLEMENT (JUL 2002)
(a) Paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) apply to proposed contract changes costing over $500,000.
(1) When requested by the contracting officer, the contractor shall submit proposals for
changes in work to the resident engineer. Proposals, to be submitted as expeditiously as possible
but within 30 calendar days after receipt of request, shall be in legible form, original and two
copies, with an itemized breakdown that will include material, quantities, unit prices, labor costs
(separated into trades), construction equipment, etc. (Labor costs are to be identified with specific
material placed or operation performed.) The contractor must obtain and furnish with a proposal an
itemized breakdown as described above, signed by each subcontractor participating in the change
regardless of tier. When certified cost or pricing data are required under FAR Subpart 15.403, the
cost or pricing data shall be submitted in accordance with FAR 15.403-5.
(2) When the necessity to proceed with a change does not allow sufficient time to negotiate a
modification or because of failure to reach an agreement, the contracting officer may issue a
change order instructing the contractor to proceed on the basis of a tentative price based on the best
estimate available at the time, with the firm price to be determined later. Furthermore, when the
change order is issued, the contractor shall submit a proposal, which includes the information
required by paragraph (a)(1), for cost of changes in work within 30 calendar days.

VA-248-11-RP-0060 TBD
(3) The contracting officer will consider issuing a settlement by determination to the contract
if the contractor's proposal required by paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this clause is not received
within 30 calendar days or if agreement has not been reached.
(4) Bond premium adjustment, consequent upon changes ordered, will be made as elsewhere
specified at the time of final settlement under the contract and will not be included in the individual
change.
(b) Paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(11) apply to proposed contract changes costing $500,000 or
less:
(1) When requested by the contracting officer, the contractor shall submit proposals for
changes in work to the resident engineer. Proposals, to be submitted as expeditiously as possible
but within 30 calendar days after receipt of request, shall be in legible form, original and two
copies, with an itemized breakdown that will include material, quantities, unit prices, labor costs
(separated into trades), construction equipment, etc. (Labor costs are to be identified with specific
material placed or operation performed.) The contractor must obtain and furnish with a proposal an
itemized breakdown as described above, signed by each subcontractor participating in the change
regardless of tier. When certified cost or pricing data or information other than cost or pricing data
are required under FAR 15.403, the data shall be submitted in accordance with FAR 15.403-5. No
itemized breakdown will be required for proposals amounting to less than $1,000.
(2) When the necessity to proceed with a change does not allow sufficient time to negotiate a
modification or because of failure to reach an agreement, the contracting officer may issue a
change order instructing the contractor to proceed on the basis of a tentative price based on the best
estimate available at the time, with the firm price to be determined later. Furthermore, when the
change order is issued, the contractor shall submit within 30 calendar days, a proposal that includes
the information required by paragraph (b)(1) for the cost of the changes in work.
(3) The contracting officer will consider issuing a settlement by determination to the contract
if the contractor's proposal required by paragraphs (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this clause is not received
within 30 calendar days, or if agreement has not been reached.
(4) Allowances not to exceed 10 percent each for overhead and profit for the party performing
the work will be based on the value of labor, material, and use of construction equipment required
to accomplish the change. As the value of the change increases, a declining scale will be used in
negotiating the percentage of overhead and profit. Allowable percentages on changes will not
exceed the following: 10 percent overhead and 10 percent profit on the first $20,000; 7-1/2 percent
overhead and 7-1/2 percent profit on the next $30,000; 5 percent overhead and 5 percent profit on
balance over $50,000. Profit shall be computed by multiplying the profit percentage by the sum of
the direct costs and computed overhead costs.
(5) The prime contractor's or upper-tier subcontractor's fee on work performed by lower-tier
subcontractors will be based on the net increased cost to the prime contractor or upper-tier
subcontractor, as applicable. Allowable fee on changes will not exceed the following: 10 percent
Master Page Number
52 of 323
VA-248-11-RP-0060 TBD
fee on the first $20,000; 7-1/2 percent fee on the next $30,000; and 5 percent fee on balance over
$50,000.
(6) Not more than four percentages, none of which exceed the percentages shown above, will
be allowed regardless of the number of tiers of subcontractors.
(7) Where the contractor's or subcontractor's portion of a change involves credit items, such
items must be deducted prior to adding overhead and profit for the party performing the work. The
contractor's fee is limited to the net increase to contractor of subcontractors' portions cost
computed in accordance herewith.
(8) Where a change involves credit items only, a proper measure of the amount of downward
adjustment in the contract price is the reasonable cost to the contractor if he/she had performed the
deleted work. A reasonable allowance for overhead and profit are properly includable as part of the
downward adjustment for a deductive change. The amount of such allowance is subject to
negotiation.
(9) Cost of Federal Old Age Benefit (Social Security) tax and of Worker's Compensation and
Public Liability insurance appertaining to changes are allowable. While no percentage will be
allowed thereon for overhead or profit, prime contractor's fee will be allowed on such items in
subcontractors' proposals.
(10) Overhead and contractor's fee percentages shall be considered to include insurance other
than mentioned herein, field and office supervisors and assistants, security police, use of small
tools, incidental job burdens, and general home office expenses and no separate allowance will be
made therefore. Assistants to office supervisors include all clerical, stenographic and general
office help. Incidental job burdens include, but are not necessarily limited to, office equipment and
supplies, temporary toilets, telephone and conformance to OSHA requirements. Items such as, but
not necessarily limited to, review and coordination, estimating and expediting relative to contract
changes are associated with field and office supervision and are considered to be included in the
contractor's overhead and/or fee percentage.
(11) Bond premium adjustment, consequent upon changes ordered, will be made as
elsewhere specified at the time of final settlement under the contract and will not be included in the
individual change.

52.225-9.
(b) Notwithstanding a bidder's right to offer identifiable foreign construction material in its bid
pursuant to FAR 52.225-9, VA does not anticipate accepting an offer that includes foreign
construction material.
Master Page Number
53 of 323
VA-248-11-RP-0060 TBD
(c) If a bidder chooses to submit a bid that includes foreign construction material, that bidder
must provide a listing of the specific foreign construction material he/she intends to use and a price
for said material. Bidders must include bid prices for comparable domestic construction material.
If VA determines not to accept foreign construction material and no comparable domestic
construction material is provided, the entire bid will be rejected.
(d) Any foreign construction material proposed after award will be rejected unless the bidder
proves to VA's satisfaction: (1) it was impossible to request the exemption prior to award, and (2)
said domestic construction material is no longer available, or (3) where the price has escalated so
dramatically after the contract has been awarded that it would be unconscionable to require
performance at that price. The determinations required by (1), (2), and (3) of this paragraph shall
be made in accordance with Subpart 825.2 and FAR 25.2.
(e) By signing this bid, the bidder declares that all articles, materials and supplies for use on the
project shall be domestic unless specifically set forth on the Bid Form or addendum thereto.
(End of Clause)
4.26 VAAR 852.236-91 SPECIAL NOTES (JUL 2002)
(a) Signing of the bid shall be deemed to be a representation by the bidder that:
(1) Bidder is a construction contractor who owns, operates, or maintains a place of business,
regularly engaged in construction, alteration, or repair of buildings, structures, and
communications facilities, or other engineering projects, including furnishing and installing of
necessary equipment; or
(2) If newly entering into a construction activity, bidder has made all necessary arrangements
for personnel, construction equipment, and required licenses to perform construction work; and
(3) Upon request, prior to award, bidder will promptly furnish to the Government a statement
of facts in detail as to bidder's previous experience (including recent and current contracts),
organization (including company officers), technical qualifications, financial resources and
facilities available to perform the contemplated work.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in this contract, where the use of optional materials or
construction is permitted, the same standard of workmanship, fabrication and installation shall be
required irrespective of which option is selected. The contractor shall make any change or
adjustment in connecting work or otherwise necessitated by the use of such optional material or
construction, without additional cost to the Government.
(c) When approval is given for a system component having functional or physical
characteristics different from those indicated or specified, it is the responsibility of the contractor
to furnish and install related components with characteristics and capacities compatible with the
Master Page Number
54 of 323
VA-248-11-RP-0060 TBD
approved substitute component as required for systems to function as noted on drawings and
specifications. There shall be no additional cost to the Government.
(d) In some instances it may have been impracticable to detail all items in specifications or on
drawings because of variances in manufacturers' methods of achieving specified results. In such
instances the contractor will be required to furnish all labor, materials, drawings, services and
connections necessary to produce systems or equipment which are completely installed,
functional, and ready for operation by facility personnel in accordance with their intended use.
(e) Claims by the contractor for delay attributed to unusually severe weather must be supported
by climatological data covering the period and the same period for the 10 preceding years. When
the weather in question exceeds in intensity or frequency the 10-year average, the excess
experienced shall be considered "unusually severe." Comparison shall be on a monthly basis.
Whether or not unusually severe weather in fact delays the work will depend upon the effect of
weather on the branches of work being performed during the time under consideration.
(End of Clause)
4.27 VAAR 852.246-74 SPECIAL WARRANTIES (JAN 2008)
The clause entitled "Warranty of Construction" in FAR 52.246-21 is supplemented as follows:
Any special warranties that may be required under the contract shall be subject to the elections
set forth in the FAR clause at 52.246-21, Warranty of Construction, unless otherwise provided for
in such special warranties.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within
the scope of the
classifications listed may be added after award only as
provided in the labor
standards contract clauses (29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii)).
----------------------------------------------------------------In the listing above, the "SU" designation means that rates
listed under the
identifier do not reflect collectively bargained wage and
fringe benefit
rates. Other designations indicate unions whose rates have
been determined
to be prevailing.
----------------------------------------------------------------WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be:
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage
determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
Master Page Number

VA-248-11-RP-0060 TBD
On survey related matters, initial contact, including
for summaries
of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional
for the area in
which the survey was conducted because those Regional
have
responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If
response from this
initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process
in 2.) and
3.) should be followed.

Local Codes: As an agency of the federal government, VA is not subject to
local imposition of code enforcement procedures (drawing reviews, building
permits, inspections, fees, etc.). VA must function as the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ) and thus has the responsibility to guard public health and
safety through enforcing its adopted codes. However, local authorities should
be notified about planned projects and given opportunity to review drawings
provided that VA does not pay for review or inspection fees.
NOTES:
1. NFPA 101 primarily addresses life safety and fire protection features
while the IBC addresses a wide range of considerations, including, but not
limited to, structural strength, stability, sanitation, adequate light and
ventilation,
and
energy
conservation.

3. Hot Work (Burn):
Facilities Management Service Standard Operating Procedures No. 138-05,
August 2009, defines Hot Work as operations which include “… cutting,
welding, brazing, silver soldering and other processes that utilize an
open flame or arc.”
Please note that although Live Electrical Work is
sometimes referred to in the trade as Hot Work, it is not (within the
context of this document) since under normal working conditions it will
not result in an open flame or arc.
A. The Hot Work (Burn) Permit is initiated and consists of two documents –
the Notification of Hot Work Operations by Contractor Personnel (Burn
Permit) and the Hot Work Fire Safety Check List for Operations Area
Inspection (Attachments 2 & 3).
Upon approval it will be posted at the
job site until all work has been completed.
After completion of work,
the documents will be attached to the inside back-cover of the file

(√)
Recommendation
Demolition site
Shroud the site if possible to reduce environmental
contamination.
Adjacent air
intakes
Seal off affected intakes if possible or relocate intake if
funds permit.
HVAC system
Consult with the facility engineer about pressure
differentials and air recirculation options. Keep
facility’s indoor air pressure positive relative to the
outside.
Filters
Ensure that filters are properly installed. Change prefilters frequently to prevent dust build-up on high
efficiency filters.
Windows
Sealed and caulked to prevent entry of airborne fungal
spores.
Doors
Keep closed as much as possible. Do not prop doors open.
Seal and caulk unused doors (not emergency exits). Use
tacky mats at entrances.
Water pipes
Note water pipe location relative to construction area to
prevent intrusion of dust into water systems.
Rooftops
Avoid rooftops during active demolition/construction.
Dust generation
Mist the area with water to minimize dust.
Immune compromised
patients
Check likelihood of immune compromised patients being close
to construction area. Reroute patient/pedestrian traffic so
as to avoid outside areas close to these sites. Use walkways protected from demolition / construction sites.
Truck traffic
Reroute if possible or arrange for frequent street cleaning
Education/awareness
Encourage reporting of incidents associated with
construction.

shall include a description of problem areas; current and anticipated delaying factors and
their estimated impact on performance of other activities/events and completion dates;
and an explanation of corrective action taken or proposed. This report is in addition to the
daily reports required elsewhere.
C. After completion of the joint review and the Contracting Officer's approval of all entries,
the contractor will generate an updated computer-produced calendar-dated schedule and
supply the Contracting Officer’s representative with reports.
D. After completing the monthly schedule update, the contractor’s scheduling specialist
shall rerun all current period contract change(s) against the prior approved monthly
project schedule. The analysis shall only include original workday durations and schedule
logic agreed upon by the contractor and resident engineer for the contract change(s).
When there is a disagreement on logic and/or durations, the specialist shall use the
schedule logic and/or durations provided and approved by the COTR. After each rerun
update, the resulting electronic project schedule data file shall be appropriately identified
and submitted to the VA in accordance to the requirements listed in articles 1.4 and 1.7.
This electronic submission is separate from the regular monthly project schedule update

requirements and shall be submitted to the resident engineer within fourteen (14) calendar
days of completing the regular schedule update. Before inserting the contract changes
durations, care must be taken to ensure that only the original durations will be used
for the analysis, not the reported durations after progress. In addition, once the
final project schedule is approved, the contractor must recreate all manual progress
payment updates on this approved project schedule and associated reruns for
contract changes in each of these update periods as outlined above for regular
update periods. This will require detailed record keeping for each of the manual
progress payment updates.
E. After VA acceptance and approval of the Project Schedule, and after each monthly
update, the contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer three copies of a revised
Project Schedule showing all completed and partially completed activities/events,
contract changes and logic changes made on the intervening updates or at the first update.
F. Following approval of the CPM schedule, the VA, the General Contractor, its approved
CPM Specialist, COTR, and all subcontractors needed, as determined by the Contracting
Officer, shall meet to discuss the monthly updated schedule. The main emphasis shall be
to address work activities to avoid slippage of project schedule and to identify any
necessary actions required to maintain project schedule during the reporting period. The
Government representatives and the Contractor should conclude the meeting with a clear
understanding of those work and administrative actions necessary to maintain project
schedule status during the reporting period. This schedule coordination meeting will
occur after each monthly project schedule update meeting utilizing the resulting schedule
reports from that schedule update. If the project is behind schedule, discussions should
include ways to prevent further slippage as well as ways to improve the project schedule
status, when appropriate.
1.9 RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLETION
A. Whenever it becomes apparent from the current monthly progress review meeting or the
monthly computer-produced calendar-dated schedule that phasing or contract completion
dates will not be met, the Contractor shall execute some or all of the following remedial
actions:

Government to the Contractor, or any other previously contracted item, must be furnished
in writing to the Contracting Officer for approval.
C. Contracting Officer's approval for the revised network diagram and all relevant data is
contingent upon compliance with all other paragraphs of this section and any other
previous agreements by the Contracting Officer or the VA representative.
D. The cost of revisions to the project schedule resulting from contract changes will be
included in the proposal for changes, and will be based on the complexity of the revision
or contract change, man hours expended in analyzing the change, and the total cost of the
change.
E. The cost of revisions to the Project Schedule not resulting from contract changes is the
responsibility of the Contractor.
1.11 ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT COMPLETION
A. The contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this contract.
Request for an extension of the contract completion date by the Contractor shall be
supported with a justification, CPM data and supporting evidence as the Contracting
Officer may deem necessary for determination as to whether or not the Contractor is
entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of the contract. Submission of proof
based on revised activity/event logic, durations (in work days) and costs is obligatory to
any approvals. The schedule must clearly display that the Contractor has used, in full, all
the float time available for the work involved in this request. The Contracting Officer's
determination as to the total number of days of contract extension will be based upon the
current computer-produced calendar-dated schedule for the time period in question and
all other relevant information.
B. Actual delays in activities/events which, according to the computer-produced
calendar-dated schedule, do not affect the extended and predicted contract completion
dates shown by the critical path, will not be the basis for a change to the contract
completion date. The Contracting Officer will within a reasonable time after receipt of
such justification and supporting evidence, review the facts and advise the Contractor in
writing of the Contracting Officer's decision.

This section specifies the control of environmental pollution and damage that the
Contractor must consider for air, water, and land resources. It includes management of
visual aesthetics, noise, solid waste, radiant energy, and radioactive materials, as well as
other pollutants and resources encountered or generated by the Contractor. The
Contractor is obligated to consider specified control measures with the costs included
within the various contract items of work.
B.
Environmental pollution and damage is defined as the presence of chemical, physical, or
biological elements or agents which:
1. Adversely effect human health or welfare,
2. Unfavorably alter ecological balances of importance to human life,
3. Effect other species of importance to humankind, or;
4. Degrade the utility of the environment for aesthetic, cultural, and
historical purposes.
C. Definitions of Pollutants:
1. Chemical Waste: Petroleum products, bituminous materials, salts,
acids, alkalis, herbicides, pesticides, organic chemicals, and
inorganic wastes.
2. Debris: Combustible and noncombustible wastes, such as leaves, tree
trimmings, ashes, and waste materials resulting from construction or
maintenance and repair work.
3. Sediment: Soil and other debris that has been eroded and transported
by runoff water.
4. Solid Waste: Rubbish, debris, garbage, and other discarded solid
materials resulting from industrial, commercial, and agricultural
operations and from community activities.
5. Surface Discharge: The term "Surface Discharge" implies that the
water is discharged with possible sheeting action and subsequent
soil erosion may occur. Waters that are surface discharged may
terminate in drainage ditches, storm sewers, creeks, and/or "water
of the United States" and would require a permit to discharge water
from the governing agency.

B.
Install the vertical conductors within the concealed cavity of exterior walls. Run the
conductors to the exterior at elevations below the finished grade and make the ground
connections to the earth outside of the building or stack perimeter.
C.
Make connections of dissimilar metal with bimetallic type fittings to prevent electrolytic
action.
D.
Use the exothermic welding type connections that form solid metal joints in the main
vertical and horizontal conductors, and for connections that are not exposed in the finish
work.
E.
Protect copper conductors with stiff copper or brass tubing, which enclose the conductors
from the top to the bottom of the tubing, between 300 mm (one foot) below and 2100 mm
(seven feet) above the finished grade.
F.
Sheath copper conductors, which pass over cast stone, cut stone, architectural concrete
and masonry surfaces, with not less than a 2 mm (1/16 inch) thickness of lead to prevent
staining of the exterior finish surfaces.
G.
For the earth connections, install ground rods and ground plates, and the conductor
connections to them and the main water pipes in the presence of the Resident Engineer.
For the conductors located outside of the building or stack, install the conductors not less
than 600 mm (two feet) below the finished grade.
H.
For structural steel buildings, connect the steel framework of the buildings to the main
water pipe near the water system entrance to the building.
I.
Connect exterior metal surfaces, located within 900 mm (three feet) of the lightning
protection system conductors, to the lightning protection system conductors to prevent
flashovers.
J.
Grounding: Test the ground resistance to earth by standard methods and conform to the
ground resistance requirements specified in Section 26 05 26, GROUNDING AND
BONDING FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.
K.
Where shown, use the structural steel framework or reinforcing steel as the main
conductor:

1. Weld or bond the non-electrically-continuous sections together and
make them electrically continuous.
2. Verify the electrical continuity by measuring the ground resistances
to earth at the ground level, at the top of the building or stack,
and at intermediate points with a sensitive ohmmeter. Compare the
resistance readings.
3. Connect the air terminals together with an exterior conductor
connected to the structural steel framework at not more than 18000
mm (60 foot) intervals.
4. Install ground connections to earth at not more than 18000 mm (60
foot) intervals around the perimeter of the building.
5. Weld or braze bonding plates, not less than 200 mm (eight inches)
square, to cleaned sections of the steel and connect the conductors
to the plates.
6. Do not pierce the structural steel in any manner. Connections to the
structural steel shall conform to UL Publication No. 96A.
L. For smoke stacks, the following additional requirements shall apply:
1. Extend air terminals from approximately 900 mm (three feet) below
the top of the smoke stacks to approximately 900 mm (three feet)
above the top of the stacks.
2. Securely seat and rivet the vertical conductors into bronze cable
connectors.
Cross-connect the vertical conductors at approximately
the midpoint between the top and bottom of the smoke stacks.
M.
For obstruction lights, the following additional requirements shall apply:
1. Extend air terminals 300 mm (one foot) above the top of the light
fixtures and securely clamp to the light fixture supports.
2. Install 600 volt class lightning arresters. Connect the arresters to
the lightning circuit conductors at suitable locations, and ground
and bond them to the lightning protection system.
N.
When the lightning protection systems have been installed, have the systems inspected by
a UL representative. Obtain and install a UL numbered master label "C" for each of the
lightning protection systems at the location directed by the UL representative and the
Resident Engineer.
