1.12 UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE (UXO) POLICY

A. General: The purpose of this plan is to ensure the safety of all employees and visitors in the event of the discovery of unexploded ordnance (UXO) in the park. This plan identifies responsibilities, establishes priorities and provides guidance on what to do if an unexploded ordnance item is found. When dealing with a live ordnance, it is important to remember that the object may have cultural value and may become an important object in the Park collection by offering new insight into the battle that took place here. Therefore, it shall be treated as such.

B. Procedures:

1. If any UXO is found in the park, it is automatically assumed to be live. Do not touch or move it. Move 500 feet from the location of the UXO before making any cell phone calls or use of park radio.

2. Do not subject the ordnance to heat, shock, (ie: jarring), or friction. No smoking or open flames in this area.

3. Immediately notify on-duty law enforcement personnel by park radio (call for any 200 Ranger) and inform them of the situation.

ANTI - 225963 01 11 00 - 5

4. A 500 foot radius around the found ordnance will be cordoned off and with available staff ensure that no one enters the 400 foot danger zone except- under the direction of the State Police Bomb Squad upon their arrival. Stay outside the 500 foot radius when using any cell phone or park radio. The closure of the tour road and trails are included if they are within the 500 foot radius.

5. Call the following staff:

a. Chief of Resource Management.

b. Superintendent or the acting superintendent.

c. Law Enforcement will call the State Police Bomb Squad.

6. Once the State Police Bomb Squad arrives, they will take control over the removal of the ordnance and they will grant access only to designated personnel who will need to be within the 500 foot danger zone. The ordnance will be removed and detonated outside of Park boundaries unless the State Police Bomb Squad deems the ordnance too dangerous to be moved. If detonation is required on-site, the Park Superintendent or acting superintendent will be notified prior to detonation.

7. The Public Information Officer (PIO) will be the Point of Contact for the media. The PIO shall brief the Park Superintendent before the media is notified.

If the costs of Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden are not itemized, it is assumed that that they are included in the hourly rate shown, or contractor is not requesting reimbursement.

Contractor may utilize the government provided Contractor Estimate Form, or their own form, provided that it contains the same information and level of detail as the Gov’t provided form.

ANTI - 225963 01 26 01 - 4

3. Requests for extensions of contract time as a result of this change must be justified with a

Time Impact Analysis (TIA). Refer to Division 01 Specification, “Construction Schedule,” for time impact analysis requirements. TIA and associated costs must be received with the proposal by the date shown within the Request for Proposal letter.

Contractor’s failure to submit within the specified time frame will be construed as the Contractor waiving the right for additional time and no time extension will be allowed.

4. All supporting documentation used to justify the proposed modification will be made available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

5. Contractor must review and approve all subcontractor/supplier pricing in detail for proper format, scope, production rates, and pricing prior to submission to the NPS. All delay costs associated with not reviewing and approving subcontractor/supplier pricing will be borne by the Contractor.

6. All pricing and production rates within the estimate must be based on fair and reasonable pricing and cannot include built-in contingency.

B. Labor:

1. Contractor shall estimate the cost of labor by itemizing each craft involved, indicating worker hourly rate (base rate + labor burden + fringe benefits) for each and itemizing the hours required for each craft that will be directly engaged in modification work. Any work proposed that will require overtime work or premium pay shall be itemized separately. All rates shall be in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act as incorporated herein. Labor Burden may include payroll taxes, Social Security, unemployment insurances, workers compensation insurance, FICA, FUTA, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws.

2. Itemize labor costs for equipment operators separate from equipment costs.

3. The labor cost for foremen shall only be costs for related work required for the modification.

6. Standby unit rates used are to be in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the US Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then 1/2 of the equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, the established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment that is not used and on the jobsite for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided that the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work. Equipment that is still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.

10. The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government.
