C.1 INTRODUCTION

The FBI requires continued Job Order Contract (JOC) services to support the FBI at Redstone.

The FBI necessitates JOC services to support construction, alteration, and repair of industrial, commercial, office, and utility projects at various FBI facilities on Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.

The FBI needs project management, planning, estimating, labor, transportation, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, minimal drawings, and other associated tasks necessary to fulfill the construction requirements of each JOC Task Order (TO).

Contract documents include a Construction Task Catalog® (CTC®) containing Prepriced tasks for construction work with preset unit prices. All unit prices are based on local labor, material, and equipment costs and are for the direct cost of construction.

Bidders will bid two adjustment factors to be applied to the unit prices: one adjustment factor for performing work during standard working hours (see Section C.4.1) and a second adjustment factor for performing work during nonstandard working hours (see Section C.4.2). These adjustment factors apply to every Prepriced task in the CTC®. Bidders will also bid a Non-

Prepriced adjustment factor to be applied to Non-Prepriced work.

This contract provides for a 1-year Base Period and up to 4 Option Periods. All TOs issued during any term of this contract shall be valid and in effect notwithstanding that the Detailed Scope of

Work (DSOW) may be performed, payments may be made, and the guarantee period may continue, after such period has expired. All terms and conditions of the contract apply to each TO.

As projects are assigned, the Contractor will attend Joint Scope Meetings with the Government to review and discuss the proposed work. The Government will prepare a DSOW and issue a TO

Request for Proposal (TORP) to the Contractor. The Contractor will then prepare a TO proposal including a price proposal, construction schedule, list of proposed subcontractors, and other requested documentation.

The value of the price proposal shall be determined by summing the total of the following calculation for each Prepriced task:

𝑈𝑛𝑖𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑥 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑥 𝐴𝑑𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 + 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑁𝑜𝑛 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑇𝑎𝑠𝑘𝑠

The TO price shall equal the value of the approved price proposal.

If the TO proposal is found to be complete and accurate, the Government may issue a TO to the

Contractor.

A TO will reference the DSOW and set forth the TO completion time and price. The Contractor will be paid the TO price for completing all required elements of the DSOW within the TO completion time.

Extra work, credits, and deletions will be contained in a Supplemental TO.

C.2 CONTRACTOR COEFFICIENT

For the life of the contract, in each TO, the Contractor shall provide certain labor, equipment, materials, and rentals/fees that are considered field overhead and therefore part of the Contractor’s coefficient. Those requirements and responsibilities are identified throughout this Statement of

Work (SOW). Note that where notification of a coefficient requirement/responsibility is stated, all associated subparagraphs are also applicable as part of the coefficient. Other coefficient statements within these subparagraphs refer to additional requirement/responsibilities. A consolidated, but not exhaustive, list of applicable coefficient requirements/responsibilities is provided in Technical

Exhibit (TE)-1, “Applicable Contractor Coefficient Requirements and Responsibilitiesi.”

C.3 APPLICABLE CODES, REGULATIONS, AND STANDARDS

All work under this contract shall comply with the most current Local, State, and Federal

Regulations, including any subsequent updates as they occur. The latest edition of building codes and regulations shall be followed for all designs, construction, and materials under this contract.

If there is a conflict between the codes and/or regulations and these contract specifications, the most stringent requirements shall govern. The Contractor shall maintain a copy of each of these documents for use during the term of this contract.

The most current versions of the FBI at Redstone Campus Design Guideii, Redstone Construction

Standards Guideiii Volumes 1 and 2, and the Unified Facilities Criteria 3-580iv shall be used in the preparation and execution of all work under this contract.

C.5.1.4 SAFETY OFFICER (SO)/LEVEL 1 SITE SAFETY HEALTH OFFICER (SSHO)

As outlined in the USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1) the Level 1 Site

Safety Health Officer (SSHO) shall:

• Be a full-time responsibility.

• The SSHO shall be present at the project site, located so they have full mobility and reasonable access to all major work operations during the shift.

• Report to a senior corporate safety official, senior PM, or corporate official.

Per EM 385-1-1, all Level 1 SSHOs must receive OSHA 30-hour general industry or construction safety training. Training may be web-based if permitted by OSHA. In lieu of formal OSHA-30 training, SOH training covering the subjects of the OSHA 30-hour course and this Statement of

Work (SOW) may be accepted by the CO in coordination with the local SSHO having jurisdiction over the work. The local SSHO will evaluate the proposed equivalent training for applicability to the contract SOW being performed. In addition, the SSHO is required to have proof of employment for one of the following:

• Five years of cumulative construction industry safety experience in the last 10 years in supervising/managing or implementing a Safety, Occupational, and Health (SOH) program on projects similar in industry type, size, and complexity as the project described in the contract scope of work.

• If the SSHO has a safety-related degree, third-party, nationally accredited (e.g., American

National Standards Institute [ANSI], National Commission for Certifying Agencies

[NCCA], or Council on Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards [CESB]) SOH-related certification or designation requiring a minimum of 3 years of experience to obtain, only 3 years of experience are needed.

The SSHO shall maintain competency through 24 hours of documented formal, or online safety and health related coursework within the past 5 years. The initial SOH training (OSHA 30-hour) does not meet the 24-hour competency training requirement. Hours spent as an instructor for SOH related training (e.g., teaching an OSHA 10- or 30-hour class, or a 4-hour fall protection end user training) can be considered for hours spent training, however each course can only be used for https://www.publications.usace.army.mil/Portals/76/EM%20385-1-1%20_EFFECTIVE%2015March2024.pdf https://www.ansi.org/ https://www.ansi.org/ https://assess.com/ncca-accreditation/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_4S3BhAAEiwA_64YhhMslqHwJrsSNVvAdLwymvHHOGcxZdYsLgbwA8Xs5vG8IhR5VYbToxoCiPEQAvD_BwE https://assess.com/ncca-accreditation/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_4S3BhAAEiwA_64YhhMslqHwJrsSNVvAdLwymvHHOGcxZdYsLgbwA8Xs5vG8IhR5VYbToxoCiPEQAvD_BwE https://www.cesb.org/

C-7 hours once. For example, instructing a 4-hour fall protection end user course training three times a year only counts for 4 hours of training.

For projects with multiple shifts, an Alternate SSHO as identified in the Activity Hazard Analysis

(AHA) will be assigned to ensure SSHO coverage for the project at all times work activities are being conducted. Note that the Alternate SSHO must meet the same requirements and assume the responsibilities of the project SSHO. Responsibilities of the SSHO are located in EM 385 1-1

Chapter 2-4.b. The Alternate SSHO is referenced in EM 385 1-1 Chapter 2-4.9 Note that if additional SSHO(s) are used on a project site or required due to contract requirements, multiple shifts, etc. the alternate SSHO(s) must abide by the same roles and responsibilities and assist the primary SSHO in the performance of the duties outlined above. Definitions for Alternate SSHO and SSHO can be found in EM 385 1-1 Chapter 2.

Per, EM 385-1-1, f the Level 1 SSHO must be off-site for a period longer than 24 hours/one day, an additional/alternate Level 1 SSHO must be at the site of work to fulfill the same roles and responsibilities when work is performed.

The Contractor’s project management team, with the assistance of the SSHO, is responsible for managing, communicating, implementing, and enforcing compliance with the Contractor's

Accident Prevention Program (APP) and other accepted safety and health submittals.

REQUIREMENTS MANUAL

The Contractor shall comply with all pertinent provisions of the most current version of the

USACE Manual, EM 385-1-1, Safety and Health Requirements Manual. The Contractor

(including subcontractors) is responsible for compliance with the provisions of this manual.

C.6.3.3 ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN (APP)

Per EM 385-1-1, an Accident Prevention Plan (APP) is “a written site-specific SOH plan that documents project, contract, and job-specific potential hazards in the workplace, and the company policies, controls, and work practices that will be used to minimize those hazards.” The

APP must be developed by a CP (Competent Person(s)) and reviewed and approved by the prime contractor and corporate safety official. Upon contractor approval, the plan must be submitted to the CO or COR for review and acceptance prior to the performance of any work. No contract work can begin without a CO or COR accepted APP. APPs must include the following:

(1) The APP must be written in English and articulate the specific work, work process, equipment, and materials to be used, hazards pertaining to the contract work, and the control measures that will be implemented. Follow the mandatory ENG Form 6293

(Accident Prevention Plan Worksheet).

(2) It is understood that at the time of APP submission, there may be unknown portions of the work. Include all known information in the APP prior to the start of work. Project-specific information that is yet to be known (for example, subcontractors to be used, type of fall protection to be used at a certain point in time, specific cranes or other load handling equipment (LHE) to be brought at the site of work, must be added and submitted prior to each preparatory phase/meeting, along with the appropriate AHAs. (See EM 385-1-1 referenced Engineer Forms.)

(3) The SSHO must conduct on-going evaluations and updates of the APP throughout the life of the project to ensure it is up to date and site specific. Changes, revisions, and updates to the APP must be reviewed and approved by the contractor and submitted to the CO or COR for acceptance.

• Include measures to be taken to control potential hazards associated with materials, services, or equipment provided by vendors, contractors, subcontractors, etc.

• Address any unusual or unique aspects or hazards of the project or activity.

(4) The completed APP (reviewed and approved by the contractor and accepted by the CO or

COR) must be always available on the site of work and be accessible to all employees. At minimum, a copy of the most current APP EM 385-1-1 must be posted on the SOH bulletin board, or a notice posted on the board stating the location of the plan.

C-13

C.6.3.4 EMERGENCY PLANS. Emergency plans ensure employee safety in case of fire, inclement weather, or other emergencies at the project location must be prepared, in writing, and reviewed with all affected employees. Emergency plans must be tested to ensure their effectiveness.

(1) Plans must include evacuation procedures, routes, and rally points; the identification of critical plant operations and procedures for employees who operate critical plant operations

(for example, gas line shut down, electrical systems, etc.); employee accountability following evacuation; rescue and medical duties; means of reporting emergencies; and points of contact.

(2) Onsite emergency planning must be coordinated with off-site emergency support.

Documentation of specific onsite emergency services is also required and can include written agreements, memoranda for record, telephone conversation logs, etc. The contractor must offer an onsite orientation of the project and associated hazards to the emergency services provider.

(3) Emergency alert systems must be developed, tested, and used to alert all persons likely to be affected by existing or imminent disasters and to alert and summon emergency responders.

(4) Emergency telephone numbers and reporting instructions for ambulance, physician, hospital, fire, and police must be clearly communicated to all employees and posted at the site of work.

(5) Employees working alone in remote locations must be provided an effective means of emergency communications (for example, cellular phone, two-way radios, land-line telephones, remote employee tracking devices/GPS, or other).

• The selected communications must be readily available (easily within the immediate reach) of the employee and be tested prior to the start of work to verify effective operation at the site of work.

• Develop an employee check-in/check-out communication process to ensure employee safety.

C.6.3.5 ACTIVITY HAZARD ANALYSIS (AHA)

C.6.3.5.1 Risk management is a business process that requires planning to ensure risk is reduced to an acceptable level prior to performing work activities. Risk management provides consistent and systematic identification and communication of risks, consequences, and potential actions to mitigate those risks. Unidentified and unmanaged hazards and their associated risks impede successful missions, undermine readiness, decrease morale, and deplete resources. A properly documented risk assessment serves as evidence that leadership decision-making was based on sound judgment and reasonable principles. Leadership and

C-14 management at every level must exercise risk management. Risk management must be integrated into all phases of work to ensure risk decisions are made at the appropriate level, no unnecessary risk is taken, and the process is applied consciously. Effective risk management requires the following steps.

(1) Identify all potential hazards associated with the task prior to work.

(2) Assess identified hazards to determine probability and potential severity of occurrence (that is, risk).

(3) Develop adequate controls to mitigate hazard and reduce probability and risk.

(4) Implement controls to ensure all workers know, understand, and implement required controls to reduce risk.

(5) Continuously supervise and evaluate controls to ensure they are fully implemented, adequate, and effective at reducing risk. When needed, stop work to make corrections, modify, or add more controls, to ensure risk is managed. Note. There are many tools to aid with risk management implementation. One of these tools is the AHA.

C.6.3.5.2 Hazard Mitigation. Analysis of hazards and implementation of control measures is a vital element to the risk management process and reducing the residual risk to an acceptable level. Use the following hierarchy of controls, listed from most effective to decreasing effectiveness, to identify control measures to be implemented to eliminate or control hazards to an acceptable level: (2-6.b) EM 385-1-1 Note. There may be some situations or activities when more than one control measure or level of controls may need to be implemented to adequately control the hazard(s) to an acceptable level.

(1) Elimination/Substitution. Elimination/substitution involves removing the hazard from the work area. This may be accomplished by modifying structures, changing work processes, or substituting equipment so that persons are not exposed to the hazard(s).

(2) Engineering Controls. Engineering controls isolate or separate the hazard(s) from the general work area and personnel exposure. A common engineering control is physical barriers that prevent contact/exposure to the hazard(s) (for example, guardrails, machine guards, containment).

(3) Administrative Controls. Administrative controls involve work practices or procedures to govern/control the way persons work so that hazardous situations or conditions can be avoided. A common example of an administrative control is training, in that persons are trained in proper procedures so that they do not subject themselves or others to hazards.

C-15

(4) PPE. PPE is equipment worn or used by persons performing work with hazards to minimize the effects of exposure to the hazard(s). PPE includes hard hats, safety glasses, safety shoes, hearing protection, respirators, etc. (See chapter 5) Note.

PPE should not be used as the only protection against a hazard. It should only be used after attempt has been made to implement higher level controls, or as a subsequent control to provide an additional layer of protection.

C.6.3.5.3 Risk Acceptance. Acceptance of risk is a serious matter; therefore, the appropriate level of leadership must accept the overall residual risk associated with a task before its commencement. Residual risk must be communicated and accepted by the proper authority before beginning the activity. Note: The proper authority may be different in each scenario and is based on the scope of work, hazards, and associated risk.

C.6.3.5.4 Activities that require an AHA must not begin until the AHA with the identified

RAC has been reviewed, accepted, and signed by the proper approval authority.

C.6.3.5.5 Prime contractors must establish an internal process that outlines appropriate acceptance authority based on each level of residual risk. The risk acceptance process and acceptance authority personnel must be included in the APP. Note.

USACE does not accept contractor risk. EM 385-1-1.

C.6.3.6 AHA MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

C.6.3.6.1 AHAs must be prepared and documented for all field, laboratory, industrial, and maintenance activities performed. Before beginning each work activity, task, or

DFOW, an initial AHA must be prepared to ensure minimum safety requirements are adequately addressed. In developing the AHA for a particular activity, the writer(s) (that is, CPs) should draw upon the expertise (for example, knowledge, skills, and experience) of the employees, supervisors, and SOH personnel.

Additional AHA requirements may be found in other applicable chapters of this manual. See paragraph 6 of each chapter of this manual. Note. JSAs, JHAs, or similar Risk Management assessment tools are considered equivalent to, and acceptable substitutes for AHAs as long as the data collected is the same as that required by the AHA.

C.6.3.6.2 AHAs must be provided to and reviewed by all involved employees prior to starting the task. Each employee must document their review with a signature on the AHA or an additional signature sheet. Provide copies of signed AHAs to the CO or COR upon request.

C.6.3.6.3 AHAs must be readily available onsite (for example, office trailer) and accessible onsite by all employees for a period of 12 months, or for contracted work, the length of the contract. Workers/crews must have in their possession the current

AHA that reflects current site conditions, personnel, equipment, control measures, etc. while the work is being performed.

C.6.3.6.4 AHAs must include the following:

C-16

• Identify the activity/task/DFOW name, contractor name and contract number, project location, date of AHA development, name, and title of AHA preparer, and name and title of AHA acceptance authority.

• Define the steps to be performed for the activity/task/DFOW and the work sequences (for example, site conditions, materials, personnel) needed. Job steps should be detailed so that the reader clearly understands how that job will be accomplished (for example, how the part will be installed or removed, anticipated voltages, quantities of chemicals utilized, equipment utilized to accomplish the task, heights being accessed or trenched).

• List all potential hazards associated with each specific job step.

• List all controls required to mitigate hazards according to paragraph 2-6.a. If one layer of control cannot fully eliminate or reduce hazards to an acceptable level, put additional controls in place to reduce risk to an acceptable level (that is, low or medium where possible).

• Assign a RAC to each job step, to identify the residual risk that remains after controls have been applied.

• Assign an overall RAC to the AHA. The overall RAC must not be lower than the highest job step RAC on the AHA.

C.6.3.6.5 Identify the equipment needed, training requirements needed of involved personnel, and any inspection requirements necessary for the activity/task/DFOW. Employer will designate, in writing (for example, certification, company letter) any required

CP(s) and QP(s) by name for a particular activity (for example, excavation, confined space, scaffolding, fall protection, lead removal, asbestos abatement, other activities as specified by OSHA and this manual), and provide proof of competency/qualification.

C.6.3.6.6 Activities that require an AHA must not begin until the AHA with RAC has been reviewed and accepted by the proper acceptance authority. Note. Contractors must submit their accepted AHAs to the CO or COR for review and acceptance to ensure contractual requirements are met.

C.6.3.6.7 Updates to the AHA. The AHA must be modified as necessary to address changing site conditions, operations, or change of CPs or QPs.

• If the initial RAC increases due to a change made to the AHA, resubmit the AHA for acceptance prior to the start of work.

• Changes or updates to an AHA that do not increase the RAC are not required to be resubmitted for acceptance.

• If the AHA needs to be revised, work should not resume until revision is complete and provided to and reviewed by all involved employees prior to starting the task.

C-17

• If the work has been stopped due to safety non-compliance with this manual, APP, AHA, etc. and the AHA needs to be revised, work should not resume until revision is complete and accepted and employees have re-reviewed. Note. For a non-mandatory formatted outline of an AHA, see ENG Form 6206.

C.6.3.7 RECORDS/NOTIFICATION

The Contractor shall maintain accurate records and notify the CO in the prescribed manner of, all exposure data, accidents resulting in death, traumatic injury, occupational disease, and damage to property, materials, supplies, and equipment incident to work performed under this contract.

C.6.4 ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS

C.6.4.1 ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT (ADEM)

REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

For any proposed construction/alteration actions performed on FBI at Redstone properties, the following requirements must be met prior to project implementation.

C.6.4.2 CONSTRUCTION GENERAL PERMIT

The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Clean Water Actxiv and Federal regulations require construction site operators to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

(NPDES) permit coverage for regulated land disturbances and associated discharges of stormwater runoff to State waters. Effective April 1, 2021, ADEM established General NPDES Permit No.

ALR100000xv for discharges associated with regulated construction activity that will result in land disturbance equal to or greater than one acre or from construction activities involving less than one acre and which are part of a common plan of development or sale equal to or greater than one acre.

Construction site operators/owners seeking coverage under this general permit must submit a

Notice of Intent (NOI) IAW the permit requirements. Operators/owners of all regulated construction sites must implement and maintain effective erosion and sediment controls IAW a

Construction Best Management Practices Plan (CBMPP) prepared and certified by a Qualified

Credentialed Professional (QCP).

For priority construction sites, the CBMPP must be submitted to ADEM for review along with the

NOI. Priority construction sites include:

• Discharges to a waterbody which is listed on the most recently approved Section 303(d) of the USEPA Clean Water Act of impaired waters for turbidity, siltation, or sedimentation.

• Any waterbody for which a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has been finalized or approved by USEPA for turbidity, siltation, or sedimentation.

• Any waterbody assigned the Outstanding Alabama Water use classification IAW ADEM

Admin. Chapter 335-6-10-.09xvi.
