PART 2 – DEFINITION OF CONTRACT LINE ITEMS (SECTION 01 27 00)

2.1 Contract Line Item Number 0001: Mobilization and Demobilization

1. This item consists of all preparatory work and operations for all items under the contract, including, but not limited to those necessary for the movement of personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site and all other work or operations which shall be performed, or costs incurred prior to beginning work on the various items on the project site.

2. This item also includes permits and demobilization cost.

3. Measurement for payment shall be on a lump sum basis.

4. Payment will be made at the contract lump sum price.

2.2 Contract Line Item Number 0002: Hazardous Waste Abatement

1. This line item is intended to cover all removal and disposal of known hazardous waste in accordance with state rules and regulations. Known hazardous wastes include ACM (Asbestos Siding) on building 914 and an above ground septic tank that is believed to be partially full.

2. This pay item includes the removal and disposal of an incidental amount of freon, PCBs, lubricants, and mercury that may be found on site contained within common equipment.

While there are no known occurrences of these products on site, small amounts of these products may be discovered in common applications such as HVAC equipment, light bulbs, ballasts, and electrical transformers. If discovered, these items will require additional handling and disposal. For bidding purposes, assume that the total quantity of these materials is less than 10 pounds.

3. The plan set identifies an existing propane tank as a potential hazard. The propane tank has been emptied. While it is identified as a potential hazard, there is no anticipated waste abatement associated with it.

4. The plan set identifies two potential underground storage tanks. To the best of the NPS’s knowledge these tanks have either been removed, are empty, and/or may have never contained fuel. The NPS located a record from 1995 indicating that a tank had been removed from the site. The NPS believes that this tank was located in front of building 902, but the area has since been paved over. This bid item only covers the testing of materials for identification purposes in the unlikely event that any potentially hazardous wastes associated with underground tanks are discovered. For example, if the contractor were to smell fuel while excavating, the expectation would be that a sample is collected so that the waste could be identified. The NPS does not expect the contractor to remove stored fuel products and/or conduct any site investigation, remediation, or monitoring associated with any potential stored fuel products, spills, or leaks. In the unlikely event that an underground tank is found (either full or leaking) the NPS will coordinate with the appropriate regulatory agencies, conduct a site evaluation, and develop a remediation plan. Should any follow-on work be required it will be addressed through a contract modification, or through a separate contract as appropriate. For bidding purposes assume that two samples will be collected. Empty tanks with no indication of contamination will be removed as regular demolition waste.

5. Measurement for payment shall be on a lump sum basis.

6. Payment will be made at the contract lump sum price.

2.3 Contract Line Item Number 0003: Well Abandonment

1. This item consists of all work and materials required to properly abandon the existing water well in accordance with specification 331113.

2. This line item is only intended to cover the abandonment of the single known well located on site. If additional well(s) are located the cost for abandonment shall be via contract modification.

3. The contractor shall obtain and pay all permitting fees.

4. Measurement for payment shall be on a lump sum basis.

5. Payment will be made at the contract lump sum price.

2.4 Contract Line Item Number 0004: Site Demolition and Abandonment

1. This item consists of furnishing all labor equipment and materials to demolish and dispose of existing site features in accordance with the requirements set forth in the project plans and specifications.
