PROGRAM OF REQUIREMENTS (STATEMENT OF WORK)

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, California

REMOVE GRANT GROVE RANGER OFFICE DAMAGED IN WINTER STORM

PMIS 342662

August 26, 2024

I. INTRODUCTION

The National Park Service requires the demolition of a Government-owned structure that is no longer usable or needed by Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks (SEKI). The project will also include restoration of the site to a buildable condition compacted and sloped for drainage so that ponding does not occur.

In 2022, a high wind event toppled a 3-foot diameter tree onto the 2000 SF Building #1698 located at 83726 Lower Loop Road in the Grant Grove Residential Neighborhood. Although this was built as a residential building in 1988, it was being used as a Ranger Operations Building at the time of its destruction. This project will resolve numerous safety and health hazards associated with the abandoned building as well as prepare the site for a new prototype housing building for use by Park staff.

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the contracted work necessary for this project.

II. OBJECTIVES

1. The objective of this project is to complete the following:

i. Assessment of hazardous materials - Hazardous material survey (physical assessment and testing)

ii. Demolition and disposal of structure and accompanying site improvements to be outside of the park, including:

a) Abate hazardous materials, if necessary. Asbestos pipe insulation removal has been completed by the Park. Pex was installed and lead and copper were removed from the plumbing. No reports of lead paint.

b) Remove large tree that has fallen on the building, including the root ball and any exposed roots. Backfill, regrade to provide positive drainage, and restore site to a drainable condition with no ponding.

c) Demolish and dispose of entire building and all its components.

d) Remove and dispose of all appliances, furniture, and other items in or on the building.

e) Remove and dispose of concrete stem walls and footings, interior concrete footings, garage slab, concrete steps, and sidewalks.

f) Remove all pavement associated with the building (if any) and other permanent fixtures serving the buildings (if any), unless otherwise noted.

g) Remove all electrical panels, conduit, and wiring, water and sewer fixtures, piping, valves, and all other fixtures and utilities.

h) Disconnect, cut, cap, and abandon utility lines a minimum of one foot below grade to the nearest connection point or source.

i) Restore site to return to the natural contour. Slope to drain at minimum 4% to nearest existing drainage feature/area, and grade to prevent water ponding. Restoration includes reseeding. Re-seed disturbed sites as soon as possible following demolition activities and put down a layer of pine/conifer needles on top of the seed, no deeper than 2 inches. All seeding and mulch shall be certified weed free. Any imported material shall be shipped directly from the source to Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park without intermediary storage or staging. See other mitigations related to prevention of introducing non-native seed. See Appendix I – Letter of Compliance Completion - for compliance stipulations concerning seeding, erosion, mulching, etc.

Lead within the building, mold, fluorescent light tubes, mercury light switches, and bio-hazards are also potential hazardous materials that must be considered. The scope of work will include:

A. Conduct a reconnaissance of all areas to identify potential asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and obtain representative samples of these materials. Any area may have ACM and not accessible should be reported as Assumed ACMs according to OSHA. The inspection of asbestos should be conducted pursuant to the requirements of AHERA (40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E).

B. Sampling should be conducted according to EPA's Guidance for Controlling Asbestos-Containing Material in Building, including the following:

• Collect at least three bulk samples for each homogeneous area of suspect asbestos containing material.

• The test, evaluation and sample collection shall be conducted by a State accredited inspector.

• Collect at least one Quality Control (QC) sample of each material that may include asbestos or lead or 1 QC sample per 20 samples, whichever is larger.

• Destructive sampling techniques may be used.

C. Laboratory analyses for the presence of asbestiform minerals utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) coupled with Dispersion Staining as detailed in the EPA's "Interim Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples" (EPA 40 CFR 763, Subpart F, Appendix A). The analytical procedures for determining the percent of asbestos in bulk samples to permit the use of visual area estimation shall also follow the "National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants" (NESHAP) regulations (40 CFR Part 61, dated November 20, 1990).

This item shall be paid based on actual number of tests performed on a Not-To- Exceed basis.

D. List and identify any other hazardous materials, including lead, mold, fluorescent light tubes, mercury, and bio-hazards that may be found during the inspection.

Hazardous Material Assessment Report:

The hazardous materials investigation report shall present appropriate project information, method of analysis utilized, and a summary of those samples/tests found to contain hazardous materials. The asbestos-containing materials shall be detailed with information concerning content, type, location, and estimated quantity. The asbestos containing materials shall be identified and located on drawings and attached to the report. ACM documentation to include photographic documentation of sample/test areas and unique friable and non-friable material conditions for asbestos.

The report shall include recommendations to control or eliminate potential exposure from each of the hazardous materials that were documented, characterize the waste stream for the abated material, and include applicable state and federal regulations and laws to be followed in removing and disposing of the hazardous materials.
