About this file

This document provides specifications for the design and construction of an electrical power plant at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti. The Navy is seeking proposals for the project, which includes demolishing existing structures and constructing new facilities at the site.

Key details include specifications for demolishing existing fuel loading and offloading areas and containment dikes. New construction will include a concrete apron, dumpster enclosure, and fuel farm. The specifications cover various trades such as concrete, masonry, metals, woods and plastics. Technical requirements are provided for items like electrical systems, communications, plumbing, HVAC and fire suppression. The document also includes testing and inspection standards for materials and construction work. Completion is required within 365 calendar days of the notice to proceed date.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 Capillary Water Barrier

A layer of clean, poorly graded crushed rock, stone, or natural sand or gravel having a high porosity which is placed beneath a building slab with or without a vapor barrier to cut off the capillary flow of pore water to the area immediately below a slab.

1.2.2 Degree of Compaction

Degree of compaction is expressed as a percentage of the maximum density obtained by the test procedure presented in ASTM D1557, for general soil

SECTION 31 23 00.00 20 Page 2 types, abbreviated as percent laboratory maximum density.

1.2.3 Hard Materials

Weathered rock, dense consolidated deposits, or conglomerate materials which are not included in the definition of "rock" but which usually require the use of heavy excavation equipment, ripper teeth, or jack hammers for removal.

1.2.4 Rock

Solid homogeneous interlocking crystalline material with firmly cemented, laminated, or foliated masses or conglomerate deposits, neither of which can be removed without systematic drilling and blasting, drilling and the use of expansion jacks or feather wedges, or the use of backhoe-mounted pneumatic hole punchers or rock breakers; also large boulders, buried masonry, or concrete other than pavement exceeding 0.75 cubic meter in volume. Removal of hard material will not be considered rock excavation because of intermittent drilling and blasting that is performed merely to increase production.

1.2.5 Pile Supported Structure

As used herein, a structure where both the foundation and floor slab are pile supported.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" or "S" classification. Submittals not having a "G" or "S" classification are for Contractor Quality Control approval. Submit the following in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:
