Project Name: (P0448) Beaufort Laboratory Building 2 Extraction and Demolition

Project Location: NOAA Beaufort Laboratory

101 Pivers Island Rd, Beaufort, NC 28516

1.1. BACKGROUND

Ecology Laboratory Building #2 (Bldg. 2) is a 2-story building constructed in the late 1950s with a footprint of approximately 20,000 Gross Square Feet which was most recently utilized for both marine biological research and administrative office space. The building is constructed of Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) load bearing walls, thin poured concrete slabs supported on open web steel joists. The first floor is elevated over an approximately 4-foot high crawl space, where the building sits on concrete beams panning pile caps. The building received structural retrofit around 1993, to repair a section of the first-floor slab in the Southeast quadrant of the building where seawater research operations lead to significant corrosion of steel structural elements, and to strengthen the exterior of the building by adding an additional reinforced CMU wall on all exterior building faces.

After the 1993 retrofit, seawater research operations continued for another 15-20 years. Recent inspections of the crawl space showed concerning levels of concrete degradation for load bearing members, in correlation to the breakdown of structural steel elements in the Southeast quadrant of the building underneath the area previously utilized for seawater research. The building was immediately closed and no longer occupied.

A main electrical feed from the site’s automatic transfer switch (ATS) runs underneath Bldg. 2 and feeds into Bldg. 2’s transformer room, where it steps down and gets distributed to other neighboring buildings to the north and east of building 2. Additionally, just north of Bldg. 2 is a T-Shaped building used for administrative office space known as Building 3. Building 3 was constructed after Bldg.2 and was originally a standalone, unconnected structure. At some point in time, the separation between building 2 and building 3 was enclosed to allow a connected interior corridor for personnel.

1.2. PURPOSE AND SUMMARY

The high-level primary objective for solicitation is two-fold: 1) retrieval of government and personnel property within a building with structural deficiencies; and 2) demolitions of the building with structural deficiencies with known Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) with the building’s crawlspace.

NOAA is seeking services from for a contractor to retrieve government and personnel property in a building that has designated as structurally unsafe for normal occupancy. The contractor will be responsible for means and methods to mitigate hazards (may require Professional Structural Engineering service for temporary shoring) and ensure contractor employees are safe, in compliance with Federal and

Local requirements, while conducting salvaging and retrieval operations within the building.

After retrieval of designated property, the contractor is to demolish the building and will be responsible for environmental survey and proper handling of ACM in compliance with federal and local requirements. The contractor properly demolition and capping of all utilities servicing the building. Additionally, the contractor will be responsible for preserving and maintaining connected structures (building 3 and transformer room), developing plans and rerouting electrical service feeds to maintain existing electrical distribution and continuity of services to other portion of the property.

The contractor will be responsible obtaining all permits required for demolition and disposal activity, responsible for proper disposal of all demolition debris at the appropriate offsite facility, and restoration of the property disturbed by the demolition activity including a gravel pad at the footprint of the demolished building unless construction stormwater permits require a differing restoration surface.

PART II: SCOPE REQUIREMENTS

2.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Provide all labor, material, equipment and services to demolish and properly dispose of Bldg. 2 in compliance with all federal, state and local requirements and achieve the following requirements. The contractor must:

i. Temporarily stabilize the building structure as required, may require obtaining Structural PE stamped shoring plans, to make it safe for workers to enter for extraction of property and commence any hazardous material abatement/removal operations prior to demolition;

ii. Plan and execute removal and disposal of hazardous building material (asbestos) known existing within the crawlspace with limited access, with potentially existing asbestos containing material within CMU walls, with handling and disposing of common laboratory chemicals;

iii. Plan and execute selective demolition of bldg. 2 that preserves adjoining structures and functionality of building 3 and the building 2’s transformer room;

iv. Cap and abandon utility services to Bldg. 2 prior to demolition and reroute other site utilities to maintain continuity of service to other buildings impacted by Bldg. 2 demolition;

v. Demolish Bldg. 2 to grade, dispose of all demolition debris offsite at appropriate landfill, regrade and restore site with gravel layer.

2.1.1. Provide detailed cost estimates for all enhancements and/or construction as outlined for each TASK separately.

TASK001 - Salvaging and Extraction of Property TASK002 - Environmental Hazards Survey and Abatement TASK003 - Building Demolition and Offsite Disposal TASK004 - Site Restoration

a) Proposal shall clearly show labor, including hourly rates, and materials breakouts for all major scopes (TASK) and phases of the project, including subcontractor and consultant costs.

b) Proposal shall include an electronic copy of the associated cost information output in a Microsoft Excel format.

2.1 TASK001 – Salvaging and Extraction of Property

The contractor must provide all labor and services required to retrieve government and personnel property within Building 2. In general, items include tabletop laboratory equipment, IT peripherals (printers, monitors, etc), tools, personnel field equipment, office items. This includes developing and submitting work plans for approval, coordinating with stakeholders for identify items to be removed or can remain in place, for logistics on location staging/retrieval, etc.

The contractor will be responsible for means and methods to mitigate hazards (may require Professional Structural Engineering service for temporary shoring) and ensure contractor employees are safe, in compliance with Federal and Local requirements, while conducting salvaging and retrieval operations within the building.

2.2 TASK002 – Environmental Hazards Survey and Abatement

An environmental survey of Building 2 was completed in 1993. All non-plumbing related Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) identified in the survey has been previously abated – which consisted of ceiling and floor tiles. There is a segment of previously identified ACM plumbing insulation within the crawlspace that is known to remains. The 1993 report only surveyed accessible spaces.

The contractor is to assume, the interior wall cells are free of ACM. The contractor must conduct an environmental survey and conduct selective demolition to validate the plumbing insulation within walls do not contain ACM. Environmental survey report must be submitted to the government for evidence of compliance with federal regulation.

The contractor is to develop and submit work plans for conducting environmental survey, abatement activity of known ACM in the crawlspace, and abatement plan if ACM is encountered during selective demolition for surveys of potential in-wall ACM piping material.

The contractor will be responsible for means and methods to mitigate hazards (may require Professional Structural Engineering service for temporary shoring) and ensure contractor employees are safe, in compliance with Federal and Local requirements, while conducting environmental surveys within the building.

2.3 TASK003 – Building Demolition and Offsite Disposal

The contractor must provide all service, labor, material to provide demolition and proper offsite disposal of Building 2. The contractor must develop and submit workplans such as mobilization plan, proposed limit of demolition activity (laydown area, truck hauling routes, etc), site specific safety plans, dust control, stormwater protection, selective demolition plan for preserving connected structures (Building 3, and Building 2 Transformer Room) and any minor construction to preserve the structure remaining and the integrity of building envelop, and plans for utility disruption for demolition or rerouting to preserve services to other affected facilities.

All utilities (sewer, water, electrical, etc.) and conduits must not be abandoned in place. All utility infrastructure must be taken back to the nearest service distribution point, node, branch line, tee, etc.

where it is capped and must be annotated in as-built site utility plans and turned over to the owner at the end of the project.

Maintain existing electrical distribution function from Building 2’s transformer room to other neighboring building. Prior to demolition activity, trench and provide new underground conduit and electrical feeds from the Building 2 Transformer Room main distribution panel to the campus Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) – must comply with local standards for underground utilities.

The contractor is responsible for preserving the structural and building envelop integrity of connected structures: i) Building 3, and ii) Building 2 Transformer Room. The contractor is responsible for developing and submitting planning and providing means and methods to demolish Building 2 while preserving these structures and any minor construction activity to restore structural and envelop integrity.

The contractor will be responsible for demolition and disposal offsite of all Building 2’s structure, equipment, and material to the natural grade. At the end of demolition, prior to site restoration, the only evidence of building 2 is the tops of the foundation pile caps.

2.4 TASK004 – Site Restoration

The must adhere to any conditions required by local/state/federal construction stormwater protection permits. At a minimum, the contractor must restore the site (minor cut/fill, minor imported topsoil/fill, gravel) such that the existing lawn is restored to its pre-project condition so that it is level and re-seed/sod if required.

The footprint of demolished of building 2 is to receive 2-inches depth of 3/8” gravel, with all utilities demolished outside the building footprint, taken back to the nearest in-service utility distribution point and capped below grade (where possible).
