SECTION 1: PROJECT INFORMATION

1.1 PROJECT LOCATION: Joint Base Elmendorf‐Richardson (JBER) is located on the northern edge of Anchorage, Alaska and is accessible from the Glenn Highway at Boniface Parkway. The project location is on the Fort Richardson side of the installation, Bldg. 3. Refer to the drawings for a location overview.

1.2 UNIQUE REQUIREMENT: Of particular importance is the necessity to protect users and occupants of the facility from falling debris and life safety issues. Contractor staging areas will be identified by the Facility

Manager, Fire Department and 673 CES/CENMP. Safety areas and caution notices are to be provided by the contractor.

1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Project consists of painting the interior walls of the main chapel in building 3, replacing two glass window pieces, and removing and replacing the flooring as shown in the drawings.

Only the walls within the main chapel room will be painted. The ceiling and all doors and frames shall remain in their current conditions.

Contractor shall repair all nail holes, dents, and damage in existing wall surfaces. The existing carpet and vinyl sheet flooring, to include cove base, shall be removed and replaced with laminate flooring. This project will also include asbestos testing and abatement for the planned disturbed areas. An onsite representative of the bidding contractors shall be required during the initial site visit to independently verify construction requirements and approximate dimensions and square footage. Coordinate on site with the government inspector if there are any questions to the limits of flooring replacement and painting. Refer to the Secretary of the

Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties

For boilers and heaters, the heat input rating shall be provided in British Thermal Units per hour (Btu/hr). For generators. Contractor shall provide this information

JBER Environmental Protection ad Waste Specs, v15June22 Page 10 of 42 for both the engine and the equipment it drives or powers (ex. generator, firewater pump, deluge pump, or crushers). For the engine, the input rating shall be provided in mechanical kilowatts or brake horsepower.

Contract shall monitor residency time of its NREs and mobile sources through recordkeeping. Contractor shall maintain a log documenting the date the NRE and mobile sources arrive on and depart from the project site. Contractor shall work with COR to establish temporary connection to power utility for construction projects expected to exceed 12 months at a single site.

Connecting to the power utility temporarily will eliminate the need for maintaining portable, primary power generators on site for more than 12 consecutive months or seasonally for more than 3 consecutive months for the duration of the construction project. Contractor shall contact COR immediately if a NRE or mobile source has the potential to exceed the residency restrictions.

6.2. Wastewater: Anchorage Municipal Code (AMC), Title 26, Chapter 26.50, Part 3, Section 200 requires significant industrial users to have a permit to discharge wastewater into the municipal sewer system. JBER is an indirect discharger of non-domestic wastewater and contributes more than five percent of Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility (AWWU) total wastewater load per day; thus, JBER is classified as a significant industrial user. As required by AWWU Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit #11 (JBER AWWU Permit), JBER’s Industrial Wastewater Management Plan describes how activities are managed at JBER to minimize the chance of discharging toxic and/or hazardous pollutants into the municipal sewer system.

6.2.1. The Contractor shall prevent the discharge of any substance that may upset or degrade the municipal sewer system, cause health or safety problems, or exceed JBER AWWU Permit effluent limits. The primary applicable regulations that help ensure JBER’s wastewater discharges comply with the permit requirements are:

a. 40 CFR 112 – Oil Pollution Prevention, (2015)

b. 40 CFR 403 – Pretreatment Standards.

c. 18 AAC 75 – Oil and Other Hazardous Substances Pollution Control

d. AMC 26.50.200 – Sewer Service Wastewater Discharge Permits

6.2.2. Notification for discharges to the system: AWWU notification requirements are defined in the JBER AWWU Permit.
