Engineering    Command    (NAVFACENGCOM) oversees construction as the Officer in Charge of Construction  (OICC).  The  representative  of  the OICC is the local CEC officer who serves as the Resident   Officer   in   Charge   of   Construction (ROICC). The ROICC reports to and assists the OICC  as  appropriate. CONTRACTING All   contract   preparation,   finalization,   and bidding are administered by the OICC or ROICC. No input to contracting is made by the managers of  the  Command  Religious  Program.  The  OICC or ROICC advertises for bids, reviews them, and awards  the  construction  contract. PRECONSTRUCTION  CONFERENCE After   the   awarding   of   the   contract,   the construction  contractor,  officials  from  the  public works  center,  and  the  OICC  and  ROICC  hold  a preconstruction  conference.  At  this  conference, formal  plans  and  specifications  for  the  new structure  are  reviewed  in  depth.  If  any  dis- crepancies  are  noted,  they  are  analyzed  for appropriate action. The commanding officer, the commanding  officer’s  designee,  and  managers  of the  CRP  may  be  invited  to  this  conference  to review  specifications. CONSTRUCTION A  few  days  after  the  preconstruction  con- ference is completed, the contractor will arrive at the   construction   site   with   a   crew   to   begin erecting the new facility. The crew may bring in heavy  construction  machinery,  construction  mate- rials,  a  trailer  to  serve  as  a  construction  office, trucks,  and  tools  of  the  trade. OICC Representatives The  OICC,  ROICC,  or  a  representative appointed  by  the  OICC  may  make  inspections  and report progress to the EFD. If any discrepancies or difficulties arise, the OICC or ROICC should be  notified. Occupational Safety and Health Administration  (OSHA)  Involvement Officials  from  the  Occupational  Safety  and Health  Administration  (OSHA)  will  review  for- mal plans and specifications to ensure that they meet  required  safety  and  health  standards.  OSHA officials   may   inspect   facilities   construction   at anytime to ensure safety and health standards are being  met.  In  addition,  officials  from  the  public works center and local Navy safety officials may inspect  construction  routinely. Subcontracting Sometimes  construction  contractors  do  not employ  their  own  electricians,  plumbers,  painters, and   so   forth.   When   the   need   for   it   arises, this  work  must  be  completed  by  other  con- tractors  of  that  particular  trade.  This  is  known as  subcontracting.    The   contractor   pays   the subcontractor. The cost calculations for the sub- contractors are included in the original contract bid.  For  example,  if  the  contractor  has  bid  to construct   a   10,000-square-foot   chapel   complex and  the  interior  walls  will  be  subcontracted  for painting,   these   subcontracting   costs   will   be included  in  the  contract  bid. OUTFITTING  AND  MOVING IN  AFTER  COMPLETION OF  CONSTRUCTION Near  the  end  of  the  construction  period,  the RP  staff  will  be  busy  receiving  and  temporarily storing  outfitting  items.  The  RPC  or  RP1  will supervise this effort. The commanding officer will be notified of a basic occupancy date (BOD) when outfitting  and  moving  in  can  begin.  Outfitting items may arrive daily; they must be inventoried, checked  for  damage,  recorded,  and  stored. Extra personnel may be needed to form working parties. The RPC or RP1 should check with the command  duty  officer  or  officer  of  the  day  to obtain  personnel  for  working  party  duties  if necessary. Primary Equipment Primary equipment may be defined as chapel equipment  that  is  fixed  in  place.  This  would include  the  altar,  the  pipe  organ,  the  pews  (if attached   to   the   floor),   and   built-in   kitchen appliances. As previously stated, the size of chapel facil- ities  is  based  on  command  population  figures. Chapel size is specifically defined as seating capac- ity,  and  a  corresponding  allowance  for  square footage in administrative spaces is based on the seating  capacity  figure.  NAVFAC  P-80  provides guidelines  for  determining  these  allowances. 4-44
