1.2.2. Creech AFB – Not Applicable to this project.

1.3. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.3.1. SCOPE OF WORK: The scope shall include, but not be limited to the following descriptions:

SECTION 00 10 10 Page 5

The purpose of this project is to replace aging water system infrastructure in the Tyndall area at the Nellis AF Base. Two existing looped water mains located on Tyndall Avenue and on the eastside of the Tyndall hangars (flight line side) at Nellis AF Base are over 50 years old and have reached the end of their service life. The Tyndall Avenue water main runs from Well No. 7 to Fitzgerald Boulevard and consists of approximately 7,000 LF of 10 inch and 8 inch cast iron pipe and approximately 6,000 LF of 12 inch and 14 inch asbestos concrete pipe (ACP). The flight line water main runs from the southwest side of Hangar #220 to Fitzgerald Blvd. and consists of approximately 6,750 LF of 8 inch cast iron pipe and approximately 2,750 LF of ACP. Also, there is approximately 3,800 LF of water pipe which loops the Tyndall Avenue water main to the flight line water main at various locations. The age and current conditions for both water mains & their valves pose a number of problems for the base which includes the following:

reduced chlorine residuals due to shallow water line depths, inadequate fire flows, inadequate isolation valves, higher repair parts inventory due to the numerous piping materials used and environment and personal health risks due to the use of ACP pipe.

The contractor is to replace water lines in accordance with the plans and specifications as prepared by the A-E, Carter & Burgess, and approved by the Nellis Air force base. This scope of work includes the replacement of all water lines as outlined in the plans with PVC water pipes. This includes approximately 1,200 lf of 8” PVC water main, 23,000 lf of 10” PVC water main and 2,000 lf of 12” PVC water main along with all necessary valves, fittings, and accessories. The existing water line will be abandoned in place at most locations and removed at any locations which conflict with the new water lines. The surfaces disturbed by construction shall be repaired to existing or better condition. Surface repair will include, without limit, such items as: asphalt concrete in parking and roadway areas, surface marking on the asphalt concrete, concrete drainage channel, concrete sidewalk, concrete curb, concrete pavement in the flight-line, landscaped areas and open unpaved areas. All of the existing fire hydrants are to be abandoned and removed by the contractor and new hydrants are to be installed at specified locations per plan. Also, the existing water services and fire services for each building are to be field verified and reconnected to the new water mains.

Newly constructed water lines and appurtenances shall not be put into service until they are properly pressure tested and disinfected. Services shall not be connected to the new water mains until the newly constructed mains are put into service. After all services have been connected to the new mains, the contractor can properly abandon old lines. There shall be no reduction in service anywhere on base. It is the contractor’s responsibility to determine the best way to perform construction phasing and water line replacement such that there will be a looped system able to supply fire demand at all times during construction.

All construction shall comply with the latest approved editions of the American Water Works Association (AWWA), Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), the International Building Code (IBC), and the Uniform Design and Construction Standards for Potable Water Systems. Also, there are many codes indicated in the

SECTION 00 10 10 Page 6 specifications requirements for this project which must be referenced and adhered to during construction.

It is expected that trench excavation will require removal of various types of material, including cemented soils and rocks (caliche). The hardness of cemented soils can range from moderately cemented to strongly cemented and can occur in subsurface soils at erratic thickness, hardness and lateral extent. Rock excavating techniques should be anticipated if there is caliche present in the soils. The contractor is to verify subsurface conditions prior to bid. The cost for the excavation of rock and cemented soils encountered shall be considered as included in the unit prices bid for pay items requiring excavation and no additional compensation will be allowed.

1.3.2. PERFORMANCE PERIODS: The Contractor is to commence work within 1 calendar day after the notice to proceed (NTP). Construction may begin after pre-construction submittals have been approved and a secondary NTP is issued.

Contractor is to prosecute the work diligently. Completion of the project includes final cleanup and close out submittals.

Pre-Construction Submittals Within 30 days from NTP

Commence Construction Within 5 days of Secondary NTP

Complete Project Within 360 days from NTP

1.3.3. SINGLE, PRIME CONTRACT: The work will be constructed under a single, prime contract.

1.3.4. TESTING: Quality control testing is the responsibility of the Contractor, and shall be performed by an independent commercial testing laboratory. The type and amount of testing is stated in the applicable specifications; the cost of the testing shall be incorporated in the bid price for each applicable line item.

1.3.4.1. Contractor shall forward all water quality clearance sample results to Bio- Environmental Engineering prior to activation of the new main line.

The contractor shall limit the amount of open trenching to the lesser of 500 linear feet or the length necessary to accommodate one day of pipe trenching as called for in the General Waterline Notes section on the drawings. The contractor shall not infringe on or close down any portion of the flight line road that runs the full length of airfield parking apron or

SECTION 00 10 10 Page 8 any flight line entry point from Tyndall Avenue. The contractor shall keep at least one lane open for vehicle traffic at the flight line entry point(s) for any work scheduled to take place at these locations.

1.4.1.9.2. The contractor shall schedule his work on the aircraft parking apron & hangar apron entrances adjacent to the Red Flag aircraft hangars #220, #222, #224, and #226 and the Green Flag aircraft hangars #237, #239, and #242 & their operations buildings located at the South end of the flight line IAW the following schedule to avoid any conflict with the Red Flag & Green Flag scheduled aircraft training exercises:

• For Red Flag hangar areas, use 17 Oct 2009 through 14 Jan 2010 or 14 Mar 2010 through 4 Aug 2010.

• For Green Flag hangar areas, use 21 Nov 2009 through 22 Jan 2010 or 5 Jun 2010 through 15 Jul 2010.

• The government reserves the right to change the contractor’s construction window dates for military exercises in the remote event a Flag exercise schedule must change or if aircraft, equipment & personnel access to a hangar or flight line facility must be temporarily maintained in conflict with the contractor’s proposed construction schedule. The contractor shall accept this requirement as an important consideration of the work, that the construction dates between military exercises and or on individual hangar apron entrances can change.

1.4.1.9.3. The contractor shall refer to construction drawing sheet KP-01 for an overview of the flight line project and sheets PR-14 & PR-15 for the Red Flag hangar areas and sheet PR-16 & PR-17 for the Green Flag hangar areas.

1.4.1.9.4. The contractor shall provide each facility user(s) sufficient advance notice (2 weeks) and adequate time to remove their aircraft & equipment from those hangars with only "one" apron entrance scheduled for contractor work. Should the user's operational requirements for those hangars with one apron entrance still require hangar access & egress, the contractor shall provide for & install aircraft load rated steel trench plates with beveled edges. For those hangars with two (2) apron entrances, the government prefers the contractor trench and complete work on one entrance at a time but the contractor has the option of trenching both entrances, provided he or she shall provide for & install aircraft load rated steel trench plate covers at one entrance or the other at all times to allow the hangar user & their aircraft & equipment access to the hangars from the flight line or vice versa.

Deviations to this schedule will be considered if it is in the best interest of the government as determined by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor has the option of working 24 hours per day, seven days per week, excluding Federal Holidays. If the Contractor plans on working hours other than 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday, he must submit to the Contracting Officer a work schedule at least three working days prior. It shall note the activities planned and the planned hours of work so that the construction inspectors can plan their work schedule. If inspectors are required to perform in excess of their normal duty days/hours solely for the benefit of the contractor, the actual cost of inspection at overtime rates will be charged to the contractor. These adjustments to the contract price shall be deducted from the next payment authorized after overtime rates have been determined.

1.9 COORDINATING AND SCHEDULING

1.9.1 Work Coordination: In order for the work to progress smoothly and cause minimal difficulties, it will be necessary for the contractor, construction inspector, project engineer, and Contracting Officer to maintain close and active coordination. Whenever work which will be "hidden" or which has not

SECTION 00 10 10 Page 12 been scheduled will be accomplished, notice must be given to both the Contracting Officer and the contract inspector as early as possible to ensure inspections are accomplished as required. If proper inspections are not accomplished as a result of such lack of notification, the Contractor bears the risk of possibly removing completed work and reaccomplishing such uninspected work at no cost to the government. All work schedules will be coordinated with the appropriate representatives of the Contracting and Technical Offices. All work shall be programmed and accomplished in such a manner that minimum inconvenience will be caused to the government. The Contractor shall provide a 2-3 week projected schedule that shall be updated at least on a weekly basis.

1.9.2 Progress Schedule: Progress schedules will only be required as specified in individual task orders.
