ASRC will tackle the following issues via the expected Method Statement:

 

ASRC will arrange regular meetings, at least weekly, with relevant stakeholders to ensure continuing communication about the ongoing construction operation and their impact on site operations.

Preconstruction conferences are held after the paving contract has been awarded but before the “notice to proceed” has been given to the contractor. This meeting initiates verbal communication between the owner’s representatives (agency personnel) and contractor personnel. The preconstruction conference (kick off meeting) can set the tone for the working relationship between the owner and contractor and establish the communication lines. The most important part of project planning, organization and execution is communication!

Participants in the preconstruction conference meeting should include all parties of the contract awarded in addition to concerned parties or their representatives.
The agency representative is responsible for convening and conducting the preconstruction conference as soon as possible after the contract has been awarded. The preconstruction meeting is held to review project requirements and to discuss project planning with the contractor. The scope of the project and contract documents should be discussed. This is an opportunity to discuss any non-routine construction practices that may be required.
The preconstruction conference is conducted to ensure all parties are aware of design, construction, and safety requirements. This meeting will help all parties understand the responsibilities of the owner’s representatives and the contractor’s personnel. The preconstruction conference is an opportunity to discuss issues upfront before construction begins (i.e., potential problem areas and means to create solutions). The contractor should provide and discuss the planned construction schedule.

Discussion items for the preconstruction conference should generally include issues relating to the project operations, security, safety, environmental factors, schedule, and construction plans.
Specific items to review and discuss could include:

 

Prior to full HMA production, ASRC will construct a test section before HMA paving operations begin.
The purpose of the test section is to evaluate the quality of the job mix formula (JMF), HMA plant production, transportation, laydown equipment and methods, and compaction techniques.
Full HMA production cannot begin until an acceptable test section has been constructed and accepted by the owner or engineer.

ASRC is responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective quality-control plan (QCP) that will be utilized during the period of the project to assure that all materials and construction conform to contract plans and specifications. The purpose of the QCP is to enable the contractor to provide the necessary control that will adequately provide for the production of acceptable quality materials and to provide sufficient information to assure the contractor and engineer that specifications have been met. The contractor should submit the QCP prior to the preconstruction conference to allow the engineer to review the plan and make suggestions at the preconstruction meeting. The QCP is the process that the contractor uses to ensure that mixture quality is controlled. This plan is very important to the success of the project. The government representative often uses the QC data as a key part of the acceptance plan. QCP plan needs to be approved and in place prior to start of construction.

The agenda for the preconstruction conference should include some discussion of the following items.

 

ASRC will review construction safety plan if applicable.

Testing Laboratories:
Testing laboratories proposed must have been approved by the MPWH/GTD

Items related to technical issues that should be discussed at the preconstruction conference are provided below. It is important that all parties involved in the construction understand their roles and the roles of others.
If there are any questions involving the project, these should be cleared up during the preconstruction conference.

 

Good communication between all parties involved in a project is necessary if a quality product is to be obtained. The preconstruction conference sets the tone for future communications. It is important that all aspects of the work be thoroughly discussed, potential problem areas be addressed, and any questions or concerns be dealt with. All answers may not be available at the preconstruction conference, but all can agree who will provide the answers and when they will be available. At the end of the conference, it is very important to know the point of contact for each party involved in the project.

7.1. The program for the construction of the works will be submitted defining the WBS and the activities involved.
7.2. Among the major challenges in the program are: mobilization, site establishment, security clearance of staff and quality consistency.
7.3. ASRC owns asphalt batching plants which are currently operating in Amman and Aqaba and will provide its current operation and quality staff to maintain the high quantities of necessary and the degree of precise quality control.
7.4. Transport and installation of such plant will require 40 days until it comes in production if required under the tender documents. ASRC precisely knows how, when and where to obtain and supply the suitable materials.
7.5. Adequate supplies of appropriately graded aggregates will be supplied from local suppliers at a rate of 1000 M3/day.
7.6. ASRC has the past experience and technical know-how to apply extensive testing to ensure statistical consistency of the supplied materials likewise its current projects.
7.7. Continuous testing will be applied to insure that the initial batching of asphalt to ensure statistical consistency of bituminous material suitable for laying in the works.
7.8. ASRC thus will minimize the time for this long lead-in period for these various operations.

 

ASRC will start with it immediately following the award of the contract During which ASRC will construct.

 

If any substance is found of unknown origin, company policy is to LEAVE IT ALONE! Immediately evacuate the area, and contact the nearest hazardous material response team. Do not allow employees on site until declared safe by the response team.

Arrangements must be made BEFORE starting the project, to provide for prompt medical response in the event of an emergency
In areas where severe bleeding, suffocation, or severe electrical shock can occur, a 3 to 4 minute response time is required

An appropriate, weatherproof first aid kit must be on site. It must be checked weekly
Provisions for an ambulance or other transportation must be made in advance.
Contact methods must be provided
(ASRC) has designated (SAFETY PERSON OR FOREMAN) as having adequate training to render first aid in the event of a medical emergency in areas where emergency response time is in excess of 4-min. They will maintain appropriate first aid kits and check them weekly to assure they are properly stocked.

Depending on the facts and circumstances involved with each situation, the company may choose any corrective action including immediate termination. However, in most circumstances the following steps will be followed:

 

Where feasible, workplace hazards are prevented by effective design of the job site or job. Where it is not feasible to eliminate such hazards, they must be controlled to prevent unsafe and unhealthy exposure. Once a potential hazard is recognized, the elimination or control must be done in a timely manner. These procedures include measures such as the following:

Fire prevention is an important part of protecting employees and company assets. Fire hazards must be controlled to prevent unsafe conditions. Once a potential hazard is recognized, it must be eliminated or controlled in a timely manner. The following fire prevention requirements must be met for each site:

FIRE & OTHER EMERGENCIES

ALARMS SYSTEMS/EVACUATION

(ASRC) establishes the call: Fire, Fire, Fire: (el fuego, el fuego, el fuego) by any employee, as the signal to immediately evacuate the building/facility for: fire and other emergencies.

TRAINING

Before implementing the emergency action plan, a sufficient number of persons to assist in the safe and orderly emergency evacuation of employees will be designated and trained.
The plan will be reviewed with each employee covered by the plan at the following times:

The following emergency action plan is appropriate only for small construction sites, larger
