SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 TITLE OF ACTIVITY

USAID Second Interim Measures for Dioxin Remediation at Bien Hoa Airbase Area or “IM2”.

C.2 OBJECTIVE

The primary IM2 objective is to address, in the short-term, significant potential human health and ecological risks from dioxin contamination in advance of other, longer-term USAID Dioxin Remediation of the Bien Hoa Airbase Area Project (the Project) activities.

C.3 BACKGROUND

The Dioxin Remediation at Bien Hoa Airbase Area Project (the Project) is one of the highest priority United States Government (USG) activities in Vietnam. This contract, IM2, will support the Project through provision of remediation work in several on and off-base areas with high levels of dioxin contamination that pose important exposure risks because they are in high traffic areas. IM2 will also complete facilities required to support later Project activities including the Long-term Storage Area (LTSA) site, as well as an access road and fencing.

C.4 DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY

OWNER : USAID

ENGINEER/CONSTRUCTION MANAGER : Trigon Associates, LLC.

AIRBASE’s Management : Ministry of National Defense, Air Defense–Air Force Command, Division 370, and Regiment 935.

For the purposes of interpretation of Section C, the priority of the document shall be in accordance with the following sequence:

• Contract Agreement

• Letter of Acceptance (Health and Safety Plan)

• Specification

• Drawings, and

• Other documents forming part of the Contract.

The IM2 Work Site is in the area of Bien Hoa Airbase in Bien Hoa, Dong Nai Province, Vietnam. The IM2 Work Site includes the following locations: the High Concentration Temporary Storage (HCTS) in the Pacer Ivy area of the Airbase; the Long-Term Storage Area (LTSA) north of the Airbase runway; Southwest (SW) Decision Units (DUs) in the SW area of the Airbase, and the following off-base areas: MND-A42; access roads to Gate 3 and to UCDDA; an area to the northwest of Gate 3 encompassing the DUs DONRE-A1, PI-12, and PI-15; and an area to the southeast of Gate 3 encompassing DONRE-A2.

The Contractor must deliver complete and operational HCTS and LTSA facilities, dioxin remediated areas in the SW DUs and one off-base DU including surface restoration, rehabilitated/reconstructed/new constructed access roads, and fencing of two on-base and two off-base areas in accordance with the drawings and specifications in Attachment J.3 Drawings and J.4 Specifications. The work components of this Contract include, but are not limited to, the following brief description of improvements.

1. Long-Term Storage Area (LTSA): Construction of a new storage area at a location north of the Airbase runway, capable of storing up to 300,000 cubic meters (m3) of excavated low concentration dioxin-contaminated soils and sediments (the total estimated volume of low concentration soil and sediment, i.e., with dioxin concentrations less than 1,200 ppt toxicity equivalence (TEQ), to be stored in the LTSA over the life of the Project according to the Ministry of National Defense (MND) Decision No. 3869 /QD-BQP). In addition, the IM2 Contractor will safely store all low dioxin concentration soil and sediment from the IM2 Dig and Haul component in this new facility. To complete this component, the IM2 contractor must:

Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 72044020B00001 USAID Second Interim Measures for Dioxin Remediation at Bien Hoa Airbase Area (IM2)

● Clear and chip site vegetation, including roots, set aside for later use, mix with soil and use for surface restoration in the LTSA.

● Prepare a base for the LTSA with a minimum of 1.5 meters (m) separation from the projected high groundwater elevation to the stored contaminated soil and sediment as shown in the drawings. Install a bottom geotextile layer over the base to be loaded with soil and sediment from the IM2 Dig and Haul component.

● Boulders and debris encountered during base preparation of LTSA must be buried under the separation layer.

Before burying debris in LTSA, crush any concrete and materials with voids.

● Reroute, reinforce, and construct drainage ditch segments as shown in the drawings.

● Construct perimeter berm including high-density polyethylene (HDPE) membrane, non-woven geotextile fabric layer, 25kN/m tensile strength, on interior and exterior of berm; and concrete with geocell reinforcement on exterior of berm.
