Statement of Objectives Driveway Resurface Construction

PURPOSE

The purpose for the driveway resurface construction project is to provide an even concrete driveway at the building entrance, exit, circle drive under the front awning and the security gate. The existing gate tracks will need to be removed and reinstalled with new gate tracks equivalent to or better than the existing gate tracks. The gate tracks must be suitable to maintain operability of the existing security gates.

The security gate track shall not lose its integrity and intended purpose.

MISSION

The Statement of Objectives for this order includes surveying the site to ensure it is safe for construction, removing and installing new security gate track system, disposition of all debris waste, and construction of new driveway using concrete and curbs as needed based on TXDOT standards for the driveway resurface project. The predefined area is measured at 7500 sf. The contractor is responsible for forming, chairing, and dowel using appropriate rebar size, on appropriate centers, pour of concrete thick enough and use appropriate PSI to avoid degrading of the surface, broom finish, and stripe all new curbs in the designated construction area. Any alterations/modifications to existing structures and real property to accommodate the construction crew and equipment must be made whole again.

PERIOD OF PERORMANCE

The period of performance for this task order will be 90-120 days from date of award for one (1) base period. There are no options periods associated with this task order. Contractor is not responsible for delays due to natural or man-made hazards.

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

The place of performance is: FEMA Region 6, 800 N. Loop 288, Denton, Texas 76209

BACKGROUND

The Federal Regional Center (FRC) is the Headquarters office building for Region 6. This is a complex that houses multiple buildings, offices and parking areas. The current entrance circle driveway was asphalted five (5) years ago and it is showing signs of wear and tear. Throughout the years, we have performed some repairs around the area which required breaking through the concrete and resurfacing. The constant patching over the asphalt created an uneven surface which is affecting both vehicle and on-foot traffic. The entrance and exit gates will need new tracks installed once the concrete work is completed.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The project will have several three phases to include demolish and repair of entry side, demolish and repair of exit side, demolish and repair of awning/drive areas. The government will need a design plan with the driveway resurface project.

Site Survey The purpose of the site survey is to measure and survey the site to determine if there are water, gas, communication lines, or electric pipes in or around the area.

Design Review The purpose of the review is to validate constructability of the conceptual design and ensure it will meet FEMA’s needs, will comply with local, state and ADA building and paving regulations.

Demolition-Paving Entry/Exit Driveway New Concrete In this phase, the entry and exit driveways will be built – e.g. concrete pouring, compacting and finish. Sub-base, base and roadbed cross-section to be appropriately designed in accordance local, state and/or Federal regulations/guidelines, International Building Code (IBC), to withstand the load of 3 or more axle vehicles (i.e. delivery and utility vehicles, Emergency Vehicles, heavy loaded equipment, etc.). The driveway shall include curb painting along with pedestrian crossing areas on the Northwest/Southwest sections of the driveway.

Security Gate Tracks

The scope of this phase requires the contractor to provide all labor and materials to repair/replace the security track system to properly function at the west main entry/exit driveway once the driveway concrete project is complete. The new tracks must be interoperable and compatible with the current electronic access system and should be of same or better quality as that of the existing system.

Construction Waste Disposal All demolition/waste materials as a result of these projects are the sole responsibility/ownership of the selected contractor and must be removed from the job site upon completion. Final site conditions shall be left in as good or better condition as when work commences. All construction waste material/debris will be disposed of. The preferred method is to divert from landfill and recycle/reuse. Least preferred option is to dispose of in a landfill.

Inspection The selected contractor is responsible for obtaining any and all necessary permits and inspections required by local, state or federal offices. Upon project completion, the FEMA COR is responsible to approve completion of project.

CONSTRAINTS

Time constraints and unforeseen weather delays. As this may coincide with hurricane season and any activation of our Regional Response Coordination Center will increase, foot traffic may complicate the project. There are budget constraints. We are restricted by the amount of funds available and not necessarily the amount of funds required.
