STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR SOUTH BAY INTERNATIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT

GATE 2 REPLACEMENT PROJECT

I. IMPROVEMENT DESIGN AND INSTALLATION BACKGROUND

The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) is looking for a contractor to remove one vehicle access gate, one gate operator, and replace those same items with new items meeting the same requirements.

Facility: The SBIWTP is a 25 million gallon per day secondary treatment plant located in San Diego County, California, about 2 miles west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry. The plant treats sewage originating in Tijuana, Mexico and discharges it to the Pacific Ocean through the South Bay Ocean Outfall, a four and one-half mile long 11foot diameter pipe completed in January 1999.

Location:

The SBIWTP was built on a 75-acre site near the international boundary in the U.S.

immediately north of Tijuana's main wastewater pumping station. The plant is located in San Diego County, California, about 2 miles west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry and off of Dairy Mart Road.

Address:

South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant

2995 Clearwater Way, San Diego, CA 92154

Condition of Project:

The facility has Physical Access Control Systems (PACS), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Closed Circuit Television Systems (CCTV), fencing, lighting, and other security measures. The systems are managed by the CCURE 9000 Security Management System (SMS). The facility perimeter is made up of cement bollards and anti-scaling chain-link fencing.

The gates have access control features to include card readers and remote opening devices (ROD). Gate 2 is dilapidated and requires replacement. The gate operator is well over ten (10) years old and is in need of replacement.

The hours of operation for the facility main office are typically Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, except on Federal holidays. However, the plant is operated by personnel 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Contractor will need to maintain protected entry/exit access to the facility at all times.

II. SUMMARY

The purpose of this project is to remove and replace one vehicle access gate (Gate 2), gate operator, concrete footers, and tracks, and replace the gate operator, concrete footers and tracks and vehicle access gates. The Contractor will replace the automated gate operators and ensure that it is compatible with the current access control system controlled by CCURE 9000 Security Management System (SMS). This includes compatibility and programming of the Remote Opening Devices (ROD) and card readers.

The access control system must successfully open and close the gate as it is designed to do. Contractor will ensure that at the end of each workday, temporary security fencing will be employed to mitigate any unauthorized entry. The Contractor will ensure that the height of the fence, gate, and poles are measured, and the correct sizes verified prior to the beginning of the work. The mesh on the gates shall be of anti-scaling mesh.

Installation will include a single (turned flat) row of concertina wire mounted to the top of the gate. Contractor shall ensure the concertina wire does not interfere with the gate operation.

The Contractor shall provide all workplans, designs, drawings, investigations, studies, permits, project supervision, equipment, labor, materials, installation/implementation, integration with current system components, testing, training, annual maintenance estimates, and travel required to meet the security requirements under the SBIWTP requirements established by the USIBWC Security Services Division (SSD) and this Statement of Work (SOW).
