3.

GENERAL INFORMATION and REQUIREMENTS

a. The CDC is a one-story building that was constructed in 1999. The existing floors are a concrete slab on grade. The walls are gypsum board. The total gross area of the entire building including exterior walls is approx. 19,000 sq. ft.

b. Prior to proposal submission, a scheduled tour of the building will be provided for Contractors to observe existing conditions and determine the full extent and nature of work required.

c. The performance period is 120 calendar days (four months) after award.

d. The building will be occupied during the entire duration of the project. Working hours for the Contractor will be restricted to CDC non-operating hours (i.e., 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., Monday through Friday) and Saturdays, Sundays and Federal holidays.

e. Coordinate access to the Base and Project Facility with the Government. All personnel must obtain a Base-issued Pass and ID card before working on the Base. The Contractor shall make a request for the proposed workers in a format dictated by the Government on a company letterhead. The ID card of each worker must be returned to the Government when that worker no longer requires access to the Base. All Contractor and delivery vehicles must enter the Base through Gate No. 2 where they will be inspected before entering the base.

f. Comply with pertinent Government security regulations while working on the project. Delays caused by entering and exiting the Base, military exercises, missile movements or other security reasons shall not result in any additional cost to the Government.

g. Protect the existing facility. Contractor shall be responsible for repairing any damage caused during the performance of this contract.

4.

SUBMITTALS

a. Submit manufacturer’s product data for Government review and approval of materials provided under this contract. For color selection, submit samples of the actual materials or color chips supplied by the manufacturer. Ordinary paper copies of colors are NOT acceptable.

b. Submit a Material Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) for each potentially hazardous material as described under the section entitled “HAZARDOUS and PROHIBITED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS“.

5.

NEW and RECYCLED MATERIALS and EQUIPMENT / GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

a. All materials and equipment including those concealed or covered shall be new or newly manufactured using recycled content unless otherwise indicated. All materials (both new and recycled) shall be the most suitable and highest grade and type for the intended use unless otherwise indicated. They shall be produced by a manufacturer regularly engaged in manufacturing or fabricating similar products with a history of successful production acceptable to the Contracting Office.

b. When names of manufacturers or models are listed, the purpose is to give examples of products meeting the specifications and to provide a basis for the design, not to limit competition. Products by other manufacturers may be used, subject to the following: (1) The product is equivalent to the specified product, meets or exceeds the requirements of the specifications and is otherwise suitable for the intended use. Appearance is a major consideration for flooring. (2) The warranty meets or exceeds that of the specified product and the requirements of the specifications. (3) The Contractor coordinates the installation and makes any necessary changes at no additional cost to the Government. (4) The Contractor waives claims for any time extension associated with the use of the product. (5) The Government approves the use of the product in writing.

c. Comply with Air Force guidelines and requirements for the purchase and use of recycled construction materials. This is based upon Air Force Space Command Affirmative Procurement Program Policy and Guidance Letter dated 08 April 2002. The main legal requirements for an Affirmative Procurement Program (APP) are derived from Executive Order 13101 dated 14 September 1998 (http;//www.ofee.gov) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Section 6002 (http://www.ornl.gov/ornlp2/sec6002.htm). This policy requires action by the Federal Government to make more efficient use of natural resources by maximizing recycling and preventing waste whenever possible. Specifically, it mandates procurement of the five EPA guideline items; calls for review of government plans and specifications to eliminate virgin material requirements; requires recycling programs and requires consideration of recovered materials use, reuse of products, life cycle cost analysis, ease of recycling and use of environmentally preferable products.

d. The use of materials with recycled content is mandatory unless they are not available within a reasonable time frame, or if the cost exceeds the cost of a non-recycled item or if they do not meet the technical requirements of the project, or if they are not available from at least two (2) sources so as to maintain a satisfactory level of competition.

e. Recycled Products Reporting. Contractors must compile a "Recycled Products Report" for the Resource Recovery and Recycling Manager at 90 CES/CEV listing the total quantity of recycled products used. Submit the report through the COAR at the end of the contract period or at the end of the calendar year, whichever comes first.

f. Material Storage: Contractors shall protect materials during delivery, storage, handling and installation per manufacturers’ printed instructions. Materials should be delivered in original containers or packaging with labels intact. No storage space is available in the existing CDC building.

6.

HAZARDOUS and PROHIBITED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS:

a. Hazardous Materials (HM) Approval: Submit a Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each chemical and/or compound proposed for this project. The Base Bioenvironmental Office (90 ADOS/SGGB) must complete their review and approval process prior to delivery to the Base. A HM is defined in Federal Standard DED-STD-313D, Tables I and II. The definition of materials presenting a health or physical hazard is found in OSHA 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1910.1200(c). These materials include such items as paint strippers, oils, paints, adhesives, sealants, cleaners and other chemicals. Contractors who bring hazardous materials onto FEW AFB without authorization are responsible for any punitive or regulatory actions.

b. Hazardous Materials Management: All HM shall be managed, stored and monitored in full compliance with all applicable local, state, federal and Goernment regulations. All chemicals shall be secured and properly stored when not in use. Flammable liquids shall be stored in an approved fireproof storage cabinet provided by the contractor. Contractors are responsible for proper off-base disposal of containers and hazardous material.

c. Prohibited Hazardous Materials. Prohibited materials include those that contain Class 1 ozone-depleting substances (including CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and methyl bromide) per Air Force Policy and as regulated by Title VI of the Clean Air Act, specifically Sections 601-607. Other prohibited construction materials include lead (i.e. lead-based paint), asbestos, PCBs or other hazardous substances.
