1 OBJECTIVES

The primary objective of this contract is to provide site survey, work plan(s) and/or specifications, construction, maintenance, repair, and/or rehabilitation (MRR) services to Government installations and facilities located within the geographical boundaries of the Rivers Districts (Huntington and Pittsburgh) locations of the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The primary geographic boundaries for work executed under this contract are the Huntington District and Pittsburgh District. However, the Government may execute task orders beyond this geographic area in limited circumstances where the Contracting Officer makes a written determination that the intended delivery method is within the technical scope of the contract, was considered in any contract prices and in the evaluation determination for award, and otherwise complies with the contract’s terms and conditions and all applicable laws and regulations. The absolute boundaries of this contract are the Rivers Districts boundaries of Nashville, Huntington, Louisville, and Pittsburgh. Prior to task order solicitation, the Contracting Officer will coordinate with the existing IDC contractor(s), to ascertain their interest and capability to perform any project requirement beyond the primary geographic area of the IDC. The contractor cannot be compelled to perform outside the primary geographic area of the contract. The Contractor will be required to perform/manage all facets of the work such as surveying the problem, recommending a solution, and correction of the problem in a timely manner. The Contractor shall maintain the capability to provide quick response for this work. The Contractor must be able to perform dredging on major river ways. Work requirements will vary from site to site.

The Government will issue task orders on DD Form 1155. Each task order will include items that are required to complete the job and when the job shall be completed.

The ability to: survey and identify deficiencies; plan and document the work required to correct deficiencies; provide incidental engineering services; estimate the cost of the work; obtain subcontracts or perform the work with the Contractor's own work forces; and manage the construction effort while ensuring quality, environmental stewardship, and safety are paramount to the success of this contract. It is not critical that the Contractor be prepared to execute all the work under this contract with its own workforce. The Contractor must perform such work in order to manage the work throughout the Rivers Districts (Huntington and Pittsburg) locations within the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division in a cost effective, diligent, and quality manner while meeting project schedules, scope of work requirements, and/or deadlines. The Contractor shall be responsible for all sub-contracted work (including suppliers, etc.) ensuring that all sub-contracted work performed meets or exceeds the requirements of the contract and/or any task orders written against the contract. The Contractor and/or sub-contractors (including suppliers, etc.) shall be properly licensed, insured, and bonded in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal laws, regulations, codes, and/or directives for where the work is located.

Generally, the Contractor shall not proceed from one task to another until directed to do so by the Contracting Officer.

b. Site Visit and Site Survey. The purpose of this task is to begin project definitization. The Contractor shall survey the site, building, or area as indicated in the task order. The Contractor shall make a video recording of the proposed MRR actions with emphasis on the particular items to be repaired or rehabilitated, as required by the Corps of Engineers. Unless otherwise stated in the task order, the site visit and site survey shall involve the following as a minimum:

(1) Investigate each of the problem areas statement of work. Investigate and analyze any obvious code or accreditation violations.

(2) Review existing as-built drawings, maintenance records, and other pertinent documentation as required.

(3) Interview on-site maintenance personnel and staff as required.

(4) Gather data to prepare a site description, a hazard and risk analysis, a site control document, and a site disruption plan which itemizes actual, probable and potential interruptions to installation operations along with recommendations to reduce the effects of unavoidable interruptions.

(5) Develop a basis during the survey to prepare budget cost proposals for the MRR action elements.

(6) Operate or observe operation of existing systems/equipment, as applicable, under the direction of installation personnel in order to isolate and evaluate problem areas.

(7) Investigate and document the presence or absence of asbestos and/or lead-based paint in the proposed work area and surrounding work area with the goal of preparing an abatement plan. Interview facility personnel and review existing documentation as required. After the review, conduct an on-site investigation of the proposed work area in conjunction with facility personnel to visually locate and identify asbestos and/or lead-based paint insulation or surface coverings which cannot be proven to be non-asbestos, but shall be considered to be such and treated accordingly. If none is encountered or presumed present, the Contractor shall so certify in writing.

c. Site survey report. The Contractor shall prepare and submit a site survey report documenting the site visit. The report shall be divided into the following sections:

(1) Site description. Provide a brief description of the site under investigation, including a complete summary of safety and health hazards anticipated on site.

(2) Hazard Assessment and Risk Analysis. The Contractor shall provide a complete description of the work to be performed with a complete summary of hazards anticipated. The Contractor shall identify the safety and health hazards that may be encountered for each task or site operation to be performed.

Each task/operation is to be discussed separately. Material Safety Data sheets (MSDS) for each hazardous substance discovered or brought on site shall be included as an appendix to the Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP).

(3) Site Control. The SSHP shall include a site map, description of work, on/off site communication systems, site access controls, and security procedures.

(4) Site Information. Provide a list of people contacted during the survey, as well as any relevant information obtained.

(5) Problem Areas. Include a narrative description of each problem area (related to rehabilitation action) that was investigated during the survey. Also include a list of any code or accreditation violations in these areas. Indicate areas investigated which warrant further study and those which do not warrant further efforts.

(6) Disruption Plan. Develop and submit a site disruption plan, signed off by installation personnel, which identifies actual, probable, and potential interruptions to installation operation, with corrective actions.

(7) Asbestos and/or Lead Based Paint Abatement (Removal/Encapsulation) Plan. The report shall contain an abatement plan and schedule for the abatement of any asbestos and/or lead-based paint in the work and surrounding area, both identified by type, percent, and location. This plan shall contain recommendations for in-place or removal abatement procedures. OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1001 shall apply. OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.1101 requires that asbestos is presumed to be present in all facilities constructed before 1980. The provisions of OSHA Standard 1926.22 shall apply to the abatement of lead based paint. The plan shall be monitored throughout the rehabilitation effort.

Abatement shall be carried out in a manner which minimizes the cost and impact on the rehabilitation action; i.e., encapsulating lead-based paint and/or asbestos containing equipment and areas where possible, instead of removing the materials. No rehabilitation effort shall begin until the work area is certified asbestos/lead based paint free, or abated by the Contractor.

(8) Proposed Work Plan. Clearly define the scope of work to be included in the work plan. Define the recommendations for resolving each problem area that was investigated. Include any drawings/sketches/schedules which may be applicable to the proposed remediation action. Describe any equipment/system to be supplied as part of the rehabilitation action.
