Project Title Demolition of Grape Genetic Research Unit (GGRU) Administration Building Foundations

General Information

1.0 Background and Purpose

The Grape Genetic Research Unit (GGRU) Administration Building at the USDA facility in Geneva, NY, has remnants of structural elements—including concrete slabs, walls, and foundations—from previous demolition activities, as well as associated infrastructure from the former greenhouse, mechanical equipment yard, and equipment pads. These materials hinder future site use and pose safety and environmental concerns. The purpose of this Performance Work Statement is to outline the requirements for complete demolition and removal of all remaining structures, ensuring safe disposal, proper site re-grading, and restoration with appropriate landscaping. This project will prepare the site for future development or research activities, aligning with USDA operational standards and supporting ongoing agricultural research needs.

2.0 Acronyms / Definitions

GGRU: Grape Genetic Research Unit USDA: United States Department of Agriculture Catch basin - A drainage structure that collects stormwater and prevents sediment from entering sewer lines.

Compacted gravel fill - Gravel used to fill excavations, compacted in layers to provide stability and match surrounding grade.

Hydroseeding - A planting process that uses a slurry of seed and mulch, sprayed over prepared ground to promote rapid grass growth.

Stormwater filter sock - A tubular filter placed around catch basins to prevent sediment runoff during construction.
