II. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

A. LEGALLY MANDATED STANDARDS

C-4

The design-build contractor will conform to:

1. Code of Federal Regulations

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

40 CFR 761

Because the work may disturb painted wall surfaces, the design-build contractor shall provide the services of an independent industrial hygiene consultant to conduct representative paint sampling as necessary (in buildings erected before 1979) to determine the lead content of painted surfaces affected by the renovation. If lead paint is identified on surfaces to be disturbed by renovation activities, the design-build contractor shall include the following information in the project documents:

a) The locations and concentrations of lead-containing paint in areas affected by the renovation.

a) A requirement of the contractor to comply with the OSHA Lead Standard for Construction Industry (29 CFR 1926.62), and other environmental or occupational safety and health regulations as applicable.

a) A statement prohibiting scraping or sanding of lead painted surfaces. Where removal or demolition of lead painted building components is required, these building components shall be removed intact wherever possible.

a) A requirement that all construction debris shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable solid and hazardous waste regulations. It is anticipated that lead-painted building components will be disposed as normal construction debris.

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

The facility/project must be in strict conformance with the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) or the American with Disability Act - Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG), whichever is more stringent. The design-build contractor shall conduct a thorough research of these guidelines and, without exception, comply to the fullest extent, including those guidelines pertaining to the visually and hearing impaired.

No deviations from these guidelines 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 for a decision on such requirements.

(These standards can be printed from the website at http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfr-table-search.html).

a. 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, the DOL may be required to seek permits as required by local utility companies prior to them rendering services to the project during construction.

b. 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 in documents.

For purpose of this project, any reference to Architect 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.
