GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

SCOPE OF CONTRACT

Provide labor, materials, and equipment required to remove the following items on the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie.

Mandatory Field Inspection: A Field Inspection date has been scheduled for the following date and place:

Task will include, but not be limited to, the following items:

Item 1. Asbestos Analysis/Certification

Provide ACM inspection performed and signed by an Illinois Licenced ACM inspector to satisfy State of Illinois EPA requirements prior to demolition. A copy of the EPA form is attached for reference as Attachment C.

This inspection is intended to identify all possible ACM associated with this project in order to determine the proper method of removal and disposal. At a minimum this will include the roofing and floor tile located in the buildings.

NOTE: In addition to the ACM, its should be noted that the peeling paint within the building should be considered to be lead based paint, based on the age of the buildings. It is the responsibility of the contractor to handle this material in accordance with all associated regulations where applicable.

ACM may include roofing, siding, floor tile, mastic, or other building materails.

Include only the cost for inspection, analysis, and reports in Item 1

Item 2 - Removal of misc. concrete, brick, steel, block frame buildings including slab/foundation removal:

Site Clearing and Preparation: All trees and shrubs around the perimeter of the buildings shall be removed and piled on the gravel pad east of the buildings.

Remove and dispose/recycle offsite concrete structures, steel trusses, concrete block wood structures, concrete floors, concrete foundation walls, concrete pipe trenches,and misc. concrete slabs and walks associated with the following buildings in Group 9, ADMINISTRATION BUILDINGS:

Remove and dispose off-site all identified ACM materials for all of the above listed buildings and structures in Group 9 per appropriate federal, local and state regulations. Because there is not a final asbestos report available at this time, please include the following in your costs for ACM removal:

ACM Transite Roof - Entire roof covering all the buildings, contractor is responsible for field measurements taking into the slope of the roof, any overlap in panels, and including transite roof caps.

ACM Floor Tile – Include 90% of the total 43,262 square feet of building footprint as being covered with ACM floor tile. The majority of the tile is located in large open rooms that were former cafeterias, large meeting rooms, and offices. A field visit is mandatory in order to properly estimate the effort required to properly remove and dispose the tile. All vendors shall use a total of 38,000 square feet of ACM tile to be removed in their proposals.

Lead Paint – Due to the age of the structures all painted surfaces can be assumed to contain lead paint.

All contents of the building including but not limited to boilers, tanks, piping, ductwork, walkways and catwalks, windows, doors, frames, fixtures, furnishings, and debris are to be removed and disposed/recycled offsite.

Buildings are to be removed entirely, extending to an elevation equal to two feet below surrounding grade. If the structure extends deeper than two feet, any concrete the contractor chooses to leave in place must be sufficiently broken so as to allow water to percolate through it at a rate approximately equal to the rate of the surrounding soil. Vertical foundation walls as well as basement floors must be cracked and/or punctured to allow water to percolate through the concrete. Forest Service COR will determine if concrete is sufficiently broken. The contractor may elect to remove concrete below the two foot level at his own expense if so inclined to expedite the work.

In addition to any conrete in the ground the contractor must also remove all gravel or sand bedding found beneath the structures that is within two feet of the surface as compared to surrounding final grade. The top two feet of fill over the demolished structures shall be topsoil free of excessive gravel, rock, debris, etc. See Item 3 below for more details about topsoil.

It the responsibility of the contractor to divert as much waste as possible away from the landfill. This shall be accomplished by adhering to the methods descrobed in the Demolition Material Reuse/Recycle and Disposal matrix included below.

The following is offered to clarify the issue of free tipping fees at the Prairie View Landfill (PVL) located immediately south of the MNTP: (This is provided for information only and is subject to change and is not within the control of the USDA Forest Service it only represents the current situation at the Prairie View Landfill.

· PVL is accepting ACM. It is handled differently than other wastes. PVL can't handle huge amounts per day due to the way they are required to bury ACM. There are also placarding, handling, and paperwork differences. Contractor should contact PVL scale house for details.

· Miscellaneous debris such as hard to handle utility poles, RR ties, etc. need to be cut into 3 foot lengths.

· Concrete is a recyclable material and is generally not accepted at the PVL. Contractor will need to find a concrete recycle facility and haul material to the facility as well as pay for any processing fees unless otherwise agreed upon with PVL.

· When PVL goes into a new cell (first layer over plastic liner), they will not be able to accept certain materials, it it up to the contractor to coordinate with PVL.

Item 3 – Transporting Topsoil

It is anticipated that not enough topsoil can re-used and recountoured on site to cover all of the removed structures. A secondary source of topsoil is available on Midewin’s west side. The source is located 5 miles from the demolition site across local highway and internal Midewin roads as shown on the attached drawing labelled Attachment B, “Soil Stockpile Location”. The contractor would be required to provide a loader at the stockpile and use street legal trucks to transport the soil back to the demolition site. Due to the fact that Midewin is closed to all public motorized use, the haul route will pass through 3 gates that must remain closed or manned with a gate keeper during any hauling operations.

Using the gross footprint of the buildings and assuming a maximum of two feet of additional soil would be required to cover the footprint, the amount of soil to be transported would be 1,730 tons. Please include the cost to transport 1,730 tons of Midewin supplied topsoil to be spread at the demolition site.

Item 4 - Seed & Mulch work area:

The entire work are area shall be seeded with the following seed mixture:

spring oats - 25 lbs/acre perennial ryegrass - 10 lbs acre redtop - 5 lbs acre bluegrass - 5 lbs acre Hungarian (smooth) brome grass - 5 lbs acre No fertilizer.

Seeded area shall be covered with straw or other approved mulch.

Past Performance on Similar Projects Safety Plan/Record Technical Approach Contractors shall submit a list of references with contact information for similar projects completed within the last three years. Past Performance will be evaluated in terms of similarity of the work to this requirement, quality of work, timeliness, cost control, and customer satisfaction on past demolition type projects.

Contractors shall submit their company safety plan. The Forest Service will also access the OSHA website for contractor safety inspection results as part of the Safety Plan/Record evaluation factor. https://www.osha.gov/oshstats/index.html

Contractors shall submit narrative on the way they plan to approach this project, including personnel and equipment to be used. All aspects of the work, including disposal, shall be addressed in this document. Include information on any subcontractors to be used.

A technically acceptable rating is given to submissions where the contractor and all subcontractors have acceptable past performance on similar projects, an acceptable safety plan and safety record, and a sound technical approach indicating that they can perform this contract successfully.

A technically unacceptable rating is given to those submissions that 1) fail to meet minimum evaluation standards, 2) have a low probability of satisfying the requirement, and/or 3) have significant deficiencies, even though they may be correctable. An unacceptable rating for any of the evaluation factors will result in an overall unacceptable rating.

Only the lowest priced offeror will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If lowest priced offeror is found technically unacceptable, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated, and so on until a technically acceptable contractor is found.
