Security And Protection Facilities Installation

Except for use of permanent fire protection as soon as available, do not change over from use of temporary security and protection facilities to permanent facilities until Substantial Completion, or longer, as requested by College Project Manager.

Temporary Fire Protection: Until fire-protection needs are supplied by permanent facilities, install and maintain temporary fire-protection facilities of types needed to protect against reasonably predictable and controllable fire losses. Comply with NFPA 10 "Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers" and NFPA 241 "Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alterations, and Demolition Operations."

Locate fire extinguishers where convenient and effective for their intended purpose, but not less than 1 extinguisher on each floor at or near each usable stairwell.

Store combustible materials in containers in fire-safe locations. Maintain unobstructed access to fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, temporary fire-protection facilities, stairways, and other access routes for fighting fires. Prohibit smoking in hazardous fire-exposure areas.

Provide supervision of welding operations, combustion-type temporary heating units, and similar sources of fire ignition. Permanent Fire Protection: At earliest feasible date in each area of Project, complete installation of permanent fire-protection facility, including connected services, and place into operation and use. Instruct key personnel on use of facilities. Barricades, Warning Signs, and Lights: Comply with standards and code requirements for erection of structurally adequate barricades. Paint with appropriate colors, graphics, and warning signs to inform personnel and public of hazard being protected against. Where appropriate and needed, provide lighting, including flashing red or amber lights.

Enclosure Fence: Before excavation begins, install enclosure fence with lockable entrance gates. Locate where indicated, or enclose entire site or portion determined sufficient to accommodate construction operations. Install in manner that will prevent people, dogs, and other animals from easily entering site, except by entrance gates. Provide one of following:

Provide open-mesh, chainlink fencing with posts set in compacted mixture of gravel and earth. Provide plywood fence, 8 feet high, framed with four 2-by-4-inch rails, and preservative-treated wood posts spaced not more than 8 feet apart.

Covered Walkway: Erect structurally adequate, protective covered walkway for passage of persons along adjacent public street. Coordinate with entrance gates, other facilities, and obstructions. Comply with regulations of authorities having jurisdiction.

Construct covered walkways using scaffold or shoring framing. Provide wood plank overhead decking, protective plywood enclosure walls, handrails, barricades, warning signs, lights, safe and well-drained walkways, and similar provisions for protection and safe passage. Extend back wall beyond structure to complete enclosure fence. Paint and maintain in manner acceptable to College Project Manager.

Security Enclosure and Lockup: Install substantial temporary enclosure of partially completed areas of construction. Provide locking entrances to prevent unauthorized entrance, vandalism, theft, and similar violations of security.

Storage: Where materials and equipment must be stored, and are of value or attractive for theft, provide secure lockup. Enforce discipline in connection with installation and release of material to minimize opportunity for theft and vandalism.

Environmental Protection: Provide protection, operate temporary facilities, and conduct construction in ways and by methods that comply with environmental regulations, and minimize ...
