All utility connections will remain in place and allow for future reconnection of utilities to a replacement structure.

This facility is approximately 4,900 square feet with a rolled roof and wood panel siding, installed in 1995. The facility is made up of five portable trailer mounted units on a 1” x 8” welded tubular frame mounted on adjustable steel jacks placed along at load bearing points underneath the facility frame. A wood siding skirt is installed around the perimeter of the foundation area to cosmetically finish and extend the exterior building wall to the ground, covering the steel frame and jacks supporting the building. Windows are single pane, non-insulated aluminum frame sash windows with steel security bars on the exterior. The exterior doors are metal framed hollow core metal doors.

Demolition Diversion - The Contractor will use a permitted off-post landfill. Executive Order 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, requires all federal facilities to divert a minimum of 60% of construction and demolition (C&D) materials and debris from landfills. If the contractor has a valid reason for not being able to meet this diversion goal, the contractor needs to present their reasoning in writing to DPW-Environmental Division. Contract specifications will include submission of a contractor’s C&D Waste Management Plan for approval prior to the start of the site clearance (see below). A monthly C&D Waste Management Report of all materials resold, recycled, reused, or landfilled will be reported by the 10th of each month to the Environmental Division, Solid Waste Compliance Program Manager, Lilia.a.lenhart.civ@mail.mil with a copy to the Contract Officer Representative (COR). Items that can be used to increase diversion rates include salvaged items (may be reused as part of the contract by others), scrap metal, masonry products, gravel, asphalt, concrete, rock, topsoil (earth fill is specifically excluded). See attached list of local recyclers. Suitable materials that meet standards for recycle/reuse may go directly to a recycling facility. All suitable concrete/asphaltic materials may be crushed, recycled, or stockpiled at a designated site on Fort Bliss on a temporary basis. All recycled/reused concrete/asphalt materials must be removed from Fort Bliss by the end of the project schedule. Use of the material processed for engineering fill, aggregate, or re-constituted concrete or asphaltic pavement constitutes recycling. Upon diversion of the recycled/reused materials, the Contractor shall submit proof of recycling/diversion in the monthly C&D Waste Management Reports detailing weight of diverted material and weights of debris landfilled. The COR will review the plan in coordination with the Directorate of Public Works-Environmental Division.
