About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document (Amendment 2) for federal contract opportunity 140P5326Q0021 concerning debris removal services in Buxton, North Carolina.
The contract involves removal of debris from collapsed houses stored in a parking lot. The tonnage referenced in the scope of work (720 tons) is for reference only and must be verified in person; bidders are instructed not to bid based on assumptions and a site visit is highly recommended. This is a fixed firm price contract with no over-and-above tonnage clause for base removal. Photos of the site are available in the scope of work and satellite imagery is accessible. The debris is strictly from fallen homes, with potential encounters of asbestos, lead-based paint, or common household products, though no consolidated environmental hazards have been identified. The debris has not been tested for asbestos, and no EPA report is available. If hazardous materials are discovered, the contractor must dispose of them in accordance with North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality and EPA regulations at no additional cost. No liquidated damages are associated with schedule non-performance. The sorting area is a large parking lot with ample surrounding space for debris sorting and various removal techniques. All contract clauses flow down to subcontractors. For optional debris, the government will attempt to separate new piles from existing ones within the same parking lot or, if infeasible, at an alternative site within one mile or at Ramp 23 parking lot (approximately 20 miles north on Highway 12). The parking lot is currently closed to the public with NPS barricades at Forest Road and Lighthouse Road intersection; the contractor is responsible for maintaining barricades during work and daily shutdown, while the walking path remains open with caution tape. Additional protective fencing, signage, and barricades require COR approval.
