B. DESCRIPTION OF WORK.
This contract will support the award of Architect-Engineer (A-E) services specifically associated with repairing the pavement between Building 578 and the tow way to the northwest at Joint Base Charleston – Air Base (JBC-AB) located in North Charleston, SC:
1. General Scope: Architect-Engineer (A/E) services are required to provide complete, detailed drawings, specifications, and cost estimates for “Project DKFX 09-1009F, REPAIR IMC PAVEMENTS – AREA F” at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base, South Carolina. The approximate limits of Area F are shown below. The A/E design shall include but shall not be limited to the following major items of work, which are listed below in order to determine the general scope of the work involved. It shall be the responsibility of the A/E to visit the site to determine the actual amount of work and field conditions that will affect the finished product.
2. The intent of this task order is to repair the pavements between building 578 and the tow way to the NW. Scope includes, but is not limited to the following::
a. Site Utilities: Survey shall identify all utilities within construction limits. No utility work is expected.
b. Topographical survey: The A-E shall perform topographic surveys at appropriate intervals to properly delineate the project scope. All survey data shall be collected utilizing conventional ground survey equipment (ie: total station). The survey should be oriented to State Plane North (Grid North) but shall be drawn to actual ground horizontal scale (not grid scale). The surveyor shall provide the necessary conversion information needed to scale the drawings from ground to grid and to translate drawings from project coordinates to state plane coordinates. Area of work is approximately 95,000 SF.
c. Pavement: All pavements in “Area F” are to be replaced full depth with the exception of PCC pavements immediately adjacent to B. 578. Those pavements will receive spall repairs and be resealed. New hangar access ramp will be PCC and shoulder pavements asphalt. Design IAW UFC 3-260-1 & 3-260-2.
Existing concrete inside the wingtip clearance line of tow way will be converted to a sodded shoulder either side of the access ramp.
d. Geotechnical: Provide soil borings and geotech data as required for complete design. Take adequate cores to identify thicknesses of existing pavements to be demolished.
e. Drainage: Provide for surface drainage as required. Drainage layer/under drain system not required. Existing reinforced concrete drainage structure is to remain.
f. Airfield Lighting: NA
g. Airfield Markings: Provide for all airfield markings IAW UFC 3-260-4 and AFI 32-1042.
i. Provide for lead-in lines and edge striping.
ii. Provide for restrictive area boundaries and signage.
iii. Provide for wing-tip clearance markings.
iv. Provide for Entry Control Point marking.
h. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP): Provide Erosion Control Plan and obtain all permits or waivers required by SCDHEC/OCRM including any filing fees.
i. Safety & Phasing Plan: Prepare Construction Operational Safety and Phasing Plan IAW UFC 260-3-1, Section 14. This will be a stand-alone document that will be included as an attachment to the specifications. Provide at 65%, 95%, and final.
j. Project Duration Chart: A-E shall develop an aggressive construction schedule to minimize impact to the airfield and training. Provide for phasing of construction if required.
k. Design Review: A&E to Chair 65% and 95% design review meetings to be held at JBC.
l. Miscellaneous:
i. Area F is located over an active SWMU and water table below is contaminated with jet fuel. CEV does not suspect that work will encounter contaminated soils due to depth of construction, but all soils removed from the site are to be disposed of at a Subtitle D landfill. Coordinate with 628 CES/CEV for handling potentially contaminated soils.
ii. Several monitoring wells are in pavements to be removed. Coordinate with 628 CES/CEV to determine proper means/methods for replacing pavements without disturbing wells. May require SCDHEC approval which CEV will be responsible for obtaining. See attached, Figure 2, showing locations of active and abandoned monitoring wells in the vicinity of Building 578.
iii. Provide for new PCC collars around existing fire hydrants and bollard sets.
m. Provide additive bid items to help ensure project is within budget.
