DESIGN-BUILD SCOPE OF WORK

GENERAL

The intent of this Scope of Work is to retain the services of a general contractor to provide abatement of asbestos-containing materials; to design, furnish and install modifications and alterations for the steam heating system; and to replace windows in several locations in the Main Building. The extent of work is described in Section IV of this scope of work.

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

LEGALLY MANDATED STANDARDS

The design/build contractor will conform to:

Code of Federal Regulations

Safety and Health…………………………………… OSHA CFR Part 1926.62 NESHAP 40 CFR 61 Subpart M

40 CFR 761

Disability/Accessibility…………………………………………28 CFR Part 36

The facility/project must be in strict conformance with the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) The design-build contractor shall conduct a thorough research of this guideline and, without exception, comply to the fullest extent, including those guidelines pertaining to the visually and hearing impaired.

No deviations from this guideline are allowed. However, if the design/build contractor, at any Design Review Submittal, demonstrates that the requirements would be technically infeasible or it would cause an undue burden as defined by the guidelines, the design-build contractor is obligated to bring this requirement to the attention of the Department of Labor (DOL) for a decision on such requirements.

Life Safety Code………………………………………………………...NFPA-101

The design-build contractor’s responsibility for safety related requirements extends to all impacted areas and access ways affected by the work.

National and State Building Codes

C-5

The design-build contractor shall conform to all applicable construction codes, ordinances, and regulations including the national building code used in the local area, laws and local ordinances. Deviations and interpretations shall be subject to the approval of the Department of Labor. The design shall comply with all state and local codes pertaining to heavy rain and high wind design. All required and/or recommended design and building practices required by City of Cincinnati, Ohio shall be considered in the design.

Permits and Licenses

The design-build contractor shall research all regulatory, permitting and licensing requirements in accordance with JCH-814 Section 1.5.

The design-build contractor shall not submit plans or specifications to any local or state authority without the prior approval of the DOL/National Office, Job Corps. Since the center is owned by the Federal Government, DOL may be required to seek permits as required by local utility companies prior to them rendering services to the project during construction.

Where required by DOL, the design-build contractor shall submit the plans/specification documents to local agencies for permitting purposes. Any and all regulatory agency comments received as a result of the agency review shall be forwarded to DOL for review and approval prior to their incorporation into the documents. Once approved by DOL, the necessary work to bring the documents into compliance with the comments shall be performed by the design-build contractor as part of this contract including any subsequent re-submittals that may be required.

It is required that the design-build contractor will need to assess the requirements of the City of Cincinnati Building Codes, the Duke Energy company, and all applicable codes with respect to this project.

Written authorization is required from the Department of Labor prior to communications with City of Cincinnati and Duke Energy company. The Department of Labor will assist the design-build contractor in the determination of these requirements through joint coordination.

The design-build contractor shall provide a fixed price that will include the cost to obtain necessary permits.

JOB CORPS GUIDELINES

JCH-814: Planning, Design, and Construction Administration Guidelines for Architects and Engineers

C-6

For purpose of this project, any reference to Architects and Engineers shall equate to the design-build contractor.

Job Corps publication JCH-814, "Planning, Design, and Construction Administration Guidelines for Architects and Engineers," is a companion document to this scope of work.

The JCH-814 has been developed to ensure consistency and clarity of project documents that form the basis of contracts for the design and construction of Job Corps facilities. It presents the design-build contractor additional design criteria not specifically stated in the scope of work. Where conflicts occur between the requirements of the scope of work and JCH-814, the requirements of the scope of work shall take precedence.

OTHER STANDARDS

Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Analyses

LCC shall be utilized as the basis for recommendations in making the selections of energy sources, systems and equipment, and building materials. However, the design must be consistent and in accordance with the extent of the scope of work. At the 60% Interim Submittal, the LCC analyses for the mechanical systems and fuel shall be submitted with recommendations for review, and shall be approved and revised as necessary as equipment is selected and specified. The LCC's shall be run on NIST's BLCC and Discount software programs. On request, the Department of Labor will furnish this software to the design/build contractor free of charge. The BLCC program shall be run on the OMB A-94 guidelines, using a 2.7 % discount factor.

The BLCC software is also available on the Federal Energy Management Program website at http://www.eere.energy.gov/femp/information/download_blcc.cfm under the heading “BLCC 4.9-08(or latest version) & Quick BLCC 2.9-08 (or latest version)” for DOS programs only or “BLCC 5.3-08 (or latest version)” for a Windows version.

Provide a life cycle cost analysis for available types of renewable energy (solar, wind, and biomass). Include any credits available from federal, state, and local sources. Evaluate whether net metering (selling electricity back to the utility) is possible for this project.

Energy Conservation

All new work is to be designed in accordance with energy conservation opportunities and applicable federal directives. In response to energy conservation concerns, all proposed construction shall conform to the current edition of the Model Energy Code of the State of Ohio.

It is the Department of Labor’s policy to purchase energy and water consuming products which are in the upper 25% of energy and water efficiency whenever practicable and cost effective. All work must be designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and 2005, Executive Order 13423 and 13514, the Energy Independence

C-7 and Security Act of 2007, and all other applicable federal, state, and local codes and directives.

The design-build contractor shall review the existing design to verify that the existing design addresses energy conservation opportunities and applicable federal directives. The design-build contractor shall evaluate options for the use of energy and water conservation measures in building design, inclusive of solar hot water heating systems, and shall include a description of recommended options in the design narrative for consideration and acceptance by DOL (see JCH-814 for narrative requirements).

Consider as an option, the use of harvested rainwater, treated wastewater, and air conditioner condensate to be used where feasible for non-potable use and potable use where allowed.

Environmentally Preferable Products

The design-build contractor shall evaluate options for the use of environmentally preferable products and environmentally preferable building design and shall include a description of recommended options in the design narrative (see JCH-814 for requirements).

Asbestos-Containing Materials & PCB Fluorescent Light Ballasts

Friable ACM shall be abated prior to building demolition. Non-friable ACM shall be abated prior to building demolition only as necessary to comply with the EPA National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) (40 CFR 61 Subpart M), and applicable State and Local regulations.

All asbestos abatement or PCB ballast removal shall be done by licensed, trained asbestos workers, supervisors, and contractors. An asbestos abatement work plan shall be prepared by a licensed, trained asbestos project designer for submittal. Asbestos abatement work plan shall include the list and location of materials to be abated, methods of abatement, containment setup and location, decontamination procedures, respiratory protection, all worker licenses, training certifications and medical certifications, and disposal plan including transportation and final disposal location. All asbestos work shall be done in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The design-build contractor shall provide the services of an independent industrial hygienist or environmental consultant to conduct on-site project monitoring and air monitoring services during asbestos abatement, including laboratory services as needed. The consultant shall:

Conduct a field investigation to identify ACM affected by the rehabilitation activities. It is not intended that the ACM previously identified will be retested. However, suspect ACM not previously identified should be sampled to determine asbestos-content.

Conduct a field investigation for PCB fluorescent light ballasts for light fixtures impacted by this project only. The consultant shall not sample dielectric fluid from ballasts but shall rely on labeling to determine PCB status.

C-8

Unlabeled ballasts shall be assumed to be PCB-containing. Note leaking PCB ballasts for special removal and disposal per 40 CFR 761.

Conduct on-site project monitoring and air-monitoring services during asbestos abatement including laboratory services as needed:

Baseline air sampling (prior to abatement) with Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) laboratory analyses.

In-progress air monitoring and sampling with PCM laboratory analyses.

Final visual clearance inspections and final clearance air sampling using aggressive air sampling techniques. Sampling shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and Local requirements.

Submit a final abatement report certifying that asbestos abatement work has been completed in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations.

Note: The contractor will pay for all costs for additional sampling and analyses resulting from improper execution of the asbestos removal or final clean up.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

Center Operation

The center shall remain in operation throughout the construction phase. All proposed interruptions to center operations must have prior approval from the Center Director. The design/build contractor, as part of this contract, shall coordinate with the DOL, its representatives, and the center to develop a set of construction documents that will minimize disruption of center operations during construction.

Design-Build Contractor Responsibilities

An acceptable quality design must provide appropriate functional facilities at the lowest practical construction cost, with due consideration for economy in maintenance and operation.

The specified construction materials must be of quality that is consistent with the intended use of the facility, the center, and reflect local availability and construction skills. Innovative materials and methods should be considered, but only if they provide an economic or functional advantage.
