1. SCOPE

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required to repair the existing platform on Tower 2060 at the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC), located on Andros Island, Bahamas. The repair work consists of the removal of the existing radome cover, replacement of the existing steel decking that makes up the interior of the floor of the radome, removal and replacement of the steel I-beams which pass under the radome assembly, removal and replacement of associated nuts and bolts, and an exact OEM radome cover replacement for what is currently installed. Existing HVAC inside the radome will be removed by the AUTEC Maintenance and Operations contractor prior to commencement of work and is not included in this scope.

1.1 Background

AUTEC is a Naval testing range under the command of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC)

Division Newport. The test range is located on Andros Island, Bahamas, approximately 180 miles southeast of West Palm Beach, Florida. AUTEC operates two aircraft that transport personnel and air freight between West Palm Beach, FL and Andros Island. All other freight and heavy cargo is shipped to the AUTEC main base facility (Site 1) via Military Sealift Command (MSC) barge out of Port

Canaveral, FL.

Facility 2060 is a 60’ OASYS-ESM system tower located at Site 2. AUTEC Site 2 is located on Andros

Island, Bahamas and is a remote location that is approximately 20 miles south of Site 1.

In April 2014, a tower inspection was performed followed by a report. The report identified numerous issues primarily associated with corrosion. As the tower was not in use at the time of the reported findings, repairs were deferred until 2018 when new requirements arose for testing equipment to be installed atop the tower. Repairs to the tower, as identified in the report, were concluded in SEP 2019 however during the time that transpired between the report being furnished and the repair work being completed, additional deficiencies were identified. The existing deck under the existing radome was found to be substantially corroded. During the course of the repairs, the deck was cleaned, treated, and painted, however that work was only guaranteed for a period of 5 years before corrosion overtakes and affects integrity and stability.

1.2 Work Elements

e. Personal Fall Protection Harness with fall arrest attachment affixed to the body support

4.5 Sanitation. Contractor is permitted to use on-site sanitary facilities.

4.6 Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA). The principle purpose of an AHA is to reduce the overall risk of the hazards associated with construction work. Provide an AHA for every operation involving a type of work presenting hazards not experienced in previous project operations or where a new work crew or subcontractor is to perform work.

The analysis must identify and evaluate hazards and outline the proposed methods and techniques for the safe completion of each phase of work. At a minimum, define activity being performed, sequence of work, specific safety and health hazards anticipated (slip or trips, cuts, dust or chips in eyes), control measures (to include personal protective equipment) to eliminate or reduce each hazard to acceptable levels, equipment to be used (hand tools, backhoe), inspection requirements (list the inspect ion requirements for the activity to ensure the controls are working, an d equipment is inspected to ensure proper operation), training requirements for all involved (any unique training required to make the established controls work) and the competent person in charge of that phase of work.

The AHA shall be continuously reviewed and, when appropriate, modified to address changing site conditions or operations. The analysis should be used during daily inspections to ensure the implementation and effectiveness of the activity's safety and health controls. Activity Hazard Analysis shall be updated as necessary to provide an effective response to changing work conditions and activities.

4.6 Accident Reporting. For recordable injuries and illnesses, and property damage accidents resulting in a least $2,000 in damages, the prime Contractor shall conduct an accident investigation to establish the root cause of the accident, complete the Navy Contractor Significant Incident Report (CSIR) and provide the report to the Contracting Officer within five calendar days of the accident. The Contracting Officer will provide copies of any required or special forms.

4.7 Accident Notification. Notify the Contracting Officer as soon as practical, but not later than four hours after any accident meeting the definition of recordable injuries or illnesses or high visibility accidents, property damage equal to or greater than $2,000. Information shall include Contractor name, contract title, type of contract, name of activity, installation or location where accident occurred, date and time of accident, names of personnel injured, extent of property damage (if any), extent of injury (if known) and brief description of accident (to include Type of construction equipment used, PPE used, etc.). Preserve the conditions and evidence on the accident site until the Government investigation team arrives on site and Government investigation is conducted.

4.8 Definition of Recordable Injury or Illness. Any work related injury or ill ness that results in:

(1) Death, regardless of the time between the injury and death, or the length of the illness;

(2) Days away from work;

(3) Restricted work;

(4) Transfer to another job;

(5) Medical treatment beyond first aid;

(6) Loss of consciousness;

(7) A significant injury or illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional, even if it did not result in (1) through (6) listed above.

4.9 Emergency Medical Treatment. Contractor shall arrange for their own emergency medical treatment. The Government has no responsibility to provide emergency medical treatment.

4.10 Periodic Inspections. The work site may be inspected periodically for OSHA and Navy violations.

Abatement of violations will be the responsibility of the Contractor and/or the Government as determined by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall provide assistance to the Safety Office escort and the federal or state OSHA inspector if a complaint is filed. Any fines levied on the Contractor by federal or state OSHA offices due to safety/health violations shall be paid promptly.

If the Contractor fails or refuses to promptly comply with safety requirements, the Contracting Office may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken.

No part of the time lost due to any such stop order shall be made the subject of claim for extension of time or for excess costs or damages to the Contractor.

The Safety Office will investigate all complaints of unsafe or unhealthful working conditions received from Contractor’s employees, federal civilian employees, or military personnel. The Safety Office will notify the Contracting Officer of the results of such investigations.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL

Applicable AUTEC safety and environmental compliance requirements shall be followed for all AUTEC

Facilities Engineering (FE) projects such as Tower 2060 project. This includes requirements of

OPNAVINST 5100.23(current version), OPNAVINST 5090.1(current version), NUWCDETAUTECINST
