I. Background

1. Site Background Fort Vancouver National Historic Site (FOVA) is located in Vancouver, Clark County, Washington. The area was first developed by the Hudson’s Bay Company as Fort Vancouver, which existed as a trading post and support base from 1829 to the 1860s. The US Army arrived in 1849, established the Vancouver Barracks adjacent to Fort Vancouver, and used the post for a variety of purposes, including training facilities, barracks, firing ranges, and administrative and logistical support. The National Historic Site was established by the US Congress to protect the location’s rich cultural resources. These nationally significant cultural resources are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Vancouver National Historic Reserve National Historic District, and include historic structures, cultural landscapes, and some of the most significant and well-preserved historical archaeological sites in the Pacific Northwest.

2. Project Background The National Park Service (NPS) assumed ownership of the East and South Vancouver Barracks (ESVB) in 2011. The buildings in the ESVB were in various conditions, and had numerous renovations and alterations completed since construction of the current buildings began in the early 20th Century. This project will remove hazardous materials, to include asbestos containing materials (ACM), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), lead-based paints and other lead containing materials, mercury containing equipment, and biological contamination (animal feces). The project includes selective demolition of non-historic walls and specific areas needed to access and remove the hazardous materials, and repairing damage caused to the buildings by abatement and demolition to prepare these historic buildings for renovation into modern reuse.

II. Scope of Work

The contractor shall furnish all construction services, materials, supplies, labor, equipment, investigations, studies, superintendence, contract management, administration, quality assurance/control, and travel, as required, for completing the tasks required to perform a hazardous materials survey of two (2) buildings and abatement program for up to 12 buildings at FOVA. The buildings are summarized in Table 1 (next page). Note that some buildings in the table are included in the base contract and others are optional items.

The Contractor shall perform the requirements of this SOW to successfully complete the project with exception of those tasks specifically identified as the responsibility of the NPS or an NPS-designated representative.

Details of specific contractor tasks to be performed at each building and presence of hazardous materials are presented in Attachment 2. Hazardous materials surveys that have been performed are provided as Attachments 3a to 3j and 4a to 4c. Attachment 5 contains more detailed building descriptions and photos. Attachment 6 contains floor plans. Historic Structure Reports are available as Attachments 8a to 8k; due to large file sizes, these reports are not posted with the solicitation but are available for download.

G. The Contractor shall establish safe viewing access (where applicable) in order for federal, state, and local agencies to conduct an evaluation of the ongoing removal, clean-up, and disposal of hazardous materials.

Since NPS cannot enter the containment area, the contractor will need to provide pictures, videos and if necessary, sketches to NPS staff to discuss situations where historic fabric is encountered, and clarifications or decisions are needed.

H. Prior to conducting any remediation, demolition, or construction activity, schedule a site walk-through with NPS Cultural Resources personnel to identify any objects of significance to be salvaged, or other historic preservation issues. This review must be requested from the NPS at least two business days in advance of the planned work. If the NPS has already completed the review, it will so state in the response to the request to schedule a review. Any objects of significance must be decontaminated by the contractor using methods approved by the NPS. If a Work Area has multiple phases of work, for example, demolition followed by construction, a review must be requested before each phase. During the abatement and selective demolition, if any objects are found (behind walls, under floors, etc.) that maybe historic – the contractor shall take a detailed picture, specifically identify location, and get a determination from the NPS Cultural Resources staff.

I. The Contractor shall submit electronic copies of the Contract Submittals for NPS and CIH Consultant approval.

5. How the condition of the building will be changed.

ii. A schedule that conveys to the NPS the timing of the overall work and work at each building. The schedule should clearly show when containment areas will be constructed and removed by building.

F. Waste Handling

a. The Contractor shall provide examples of appropriate waste handling documents: including the waste label which shall include the Generator's Name, Address and Waste Manifest Number.

b. Waste Transportation: Submit the method of transport of waste including name, address, EPA identification number, and telephone number of transporters. If transportation of the waste is subcontracted, provide name, address, and phone number of subcontractor and documentation of abatement workers' medical examinations. If the transporter is to be the abatement contractor's personnel, the contractor shall submit names for those specified personnel that will be loading or unloading the lead contaminated waste.

c. Hazardous Waste Site: Submit for approval the name, class, address, EPA identification number and telephone number of hazardous waste sites to be utilized for disposal of waste.

G. Waste Reduction Plan:

a. Consistent with NPS policies to reduce waste, removed materials should be reused when possible, recycled if reuse is not possible, and disposed only as a last resort. Some of this material may have value which may be retained by the Contractor. Draft a waste reduction plan that includes:

i. List of items by building that will be reused either through donation to charities or selling for commercial reuse.

ii. List of items by building that will be recycled.

iii. Any anticipated credit to the contract through reuse and recycling.

b. At the conclusion of work in each building, amend the Waste Reduction Plan with a brief report that states the tonnage of material reused, recycled, and wasted. Waste streams and recycling should be subdivided into unregulated waste, universal waste, and hazardous waste.

H. Materials:

a. Submit each material to be used on the site with their intended application, relevant product information from the manufacturer, and safety data sheet for review by NPS, including Cultural Resources, and the CIH Consultant to ensure resource protection.

I. Submit a wiring plan prior to installing lighting in buildings.

J. Submit the Building 752 elevator characterization report including waste characterization, abatement strategy, and cost estimate.

K. Daily Submittals:

a. Submit completed daily reports on a regular schedule where the report is submitted within 2 hours of the conclusion of the 24-hour period the report covers. For example, if the reporting period for the manometer is from 08:00 hours on day one, to 08:00 hours on day two (a 24-hour period that ends at the start of shift), the daily report is due by 10:00 hours of day two. A daily report is not required on days where no work is being conducted, however, the daily report must state the reporting period it covers and forecast when the next daily report will be submitted. In the daily reports, the Contractor must document the following information:

i. Employee roster for each work shift that documents training identification number for each employee.

ii. Work area entry/exit logs for each containment.

iii. Daily Manometer report for each work area labeled with the correct time and date, signed by the Competent Person.

iv. Pre-abatement visual inspection form for each work area.

v. Final visual inspection and clearance certification form for each work area.

vi. Air monitoring sample results as described herein (permissible exposure limit and Excursion limit samples).

vii. Photos of the day’s work

viii. Report of activities performed during the day, using NPS Quality Control Report or similar format.

VIII. Barriers and Resource Protection Measures A. The historic site is open to the public and has over 1 million visitors per year. Fence all exterior work areas to prevent entry. Post signage as required by regulation and this document.

B. Public Pathways, sidewalks, roads, and parking will remain open and should be passable at all times.

Temporary closures and detours are allowed with prior COR approval. Closures and detours will be adequately signed, as determined by the NPS. All signage will be provided by the Contractor.

C. Drive slowly and safely. The speed limit on historic site roads is 15 miles per hour, the Contractor may need to drive slower than the speed limit. Follow all federal, state, and local traffic laws.

D. Provide a traffic control plan for each building. Coordinate all truck traffic and vehicle routes with the COR to establish safe and coordinated plans to minimize impact on NPS operations. Vehicles (or vehicle and trailer) must be of a size and design so that deliveries and other work can be performed at a site designed to obfuscate vehicle operators and impede vehicular access, this may include the need to shuttle debris from the point of generation or a satellite accumulation area to an area where it can be removed by the transporter. Alvord Road will not be available as a driving route. Transportation of waste shall use vehicles that conform to work within existing roads and turning radii. Since this is an archaeological site, all equipment, wheeled or tracked, must be operated on either an existing hard surface or plywood of sufficient size and thickness to prevent disturbances and damage in nearby grass, natural areas, or soils adjacent or below that will remain after the project is complete. Vehicles with steel tracks are not allowed on hard surfaces (e.g., asphalt or concrete). The use of vehicles with steel tracks off hard surfaces must be approved in advance by the CO. Plywood is to be provided and laid down in unpaved work areas by the Contractor. The Contractor should ensure precautions are taken to protect buildings, utilities, and features to remain, including plants and vegetation, and ensure no damage.

E. Ensure that vehicle covers and proper vehicle decontamination and tracking control is operational so that contamination is not spread outside of the work area during operations and transport. If applicable, install appropriate stormwater pollution prevention measures, such as silt fencing, to minimize erosion and movement of soil during storm events, excavation, and soil handling activities.

F. Eliminate fugitive dust emissions by laying down water spray or similarly effective method during any work outdoors to conform to applicable EPA regulations.

G. Keep all equipment and work-related items within the described and approved work area and staging area at all times.

H. The Contractor may move hazardous materials around on the staging area site to facilitate stockpiling for later transport with written concurrence from the CO. The contractor will be required to ensure that contamination is not spread while materials are moved or stockpiled.

I. Archaeological Protection

a. General

i. Summary

1. The work of this section consists of protecting archeological resources contained in soil deposits. The project area is within a highly sensitive archeological site. The area may contain historically significant buried features or artifacts. The Contractor shall strictly limit and control the depth and/or extent of excavations, minimizing them to the greatest extent possible.

ii. Definitions

1. Archeological Resources: Archeological resources are the physical evidences of past human activity, including evidences of the effects of that activity on the environment. Archeological resources represent both prehistoric and historic time periods. They are found above and below ground and under water.

2. Archeologically Sensitive Areas: Areas that have the potential to contain significant (National Register eligible) archeological resources. If National Register eligible or listed archeological resources cannot be avoided, an appropriate mitigation strategy shall be developed in consultation with the state historic preservation officer and, if necessary, associated American Indian tribes.

3. Non-sensitive Areas: Areas with little, if any, potential of containing significant (National Register eligible) archeological resources. Fort Vancouver National Historic Site is within a National Historic District and contains no non-sensitive areas.

4. Archeological Monitor: Representative of the Government designated to oversee construction activities that could disturb archeological resources.

iii. Submittals

1. Daily Work Schedule; Submit a Daily work Schedule detailing construction. Submit to Contracting Officer 30 days before start of ground disturbing site work.
