The “seed” project may be awarded with the basic contract if founding is available. TOs will be a firm fixed price (FFP) and will clearly define the specific work required. TO awards will be made on a best value basis determined by Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) or Tradeoff. On average, projects will range between $2,000 and $5,000,000. Specific Instructions to Offerors (ITO) and evaluation criteria for individual TOs will be specified in the TO RFP.

Part VI, The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) will be used for traffic signing and barricades.

17.8. Operations shall offer the least possible obstruction and inconvenience to public traffic, and all traffic shall be permitted to pass through work site with as little delay as possible. When construction machinery and/or operations present danger to passing traffic, applicable lights, signs, fences, barriers, or flaggers shall be used in order to give adequate warning. All warning and safety devices shall conform to applicable local, state, and federal requirements (MUTCD, UFC 3-120-01, Base Facility Design Standard, etc.).

Particular attention should be given to concealed work, which will be difficult to measure and record after construction, and work which may require servicing or replacement during the life of the project. The following are areas of concern that need special checking to ensure that the marked-up prints are complete and accurate:

23.1.1.1. Location, size and type of existing and new utility lines. Measurements shall be shown for all change of direction points and all surface or underground components such as valves, manholes, drain inlets, clean outs, meters, etc. The description of exterior utilities shall include the actual quantity, size, and material of the utility lines.

In the event of a conflict between any laws or regulations, the most stringent shall apply. These items include, but are not limited to, the following:

17 | P a g e

25.1.1. Vehicles and other powered equipment shall meet local air quality regulations for emissions, be mechanically sound and have all seals, grease rings, and other containment systems in place to ensure against leakage. Drip pans shall be maintained to prevent overflow and spills. No equipment maintenance including oil changes, filter replacements, or hydraulic equipment repair shall be performed on Government property.

25.1.2. All solid waste shall be collected and disposed of on a daily basis. There will be no accumulation of solid waste unless properly containerized or put within a fenced area to prevent material being blown about by the wind. No liquids of any kind shall be put into base dumpsters.

25.1.3. Paint Cans: Only empty paint cans shall be allowed in dumpsters. Empty containers have to comply with the “RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) empty rule” before they become a non-hazardous solid waste. Information can be found at the following link:

https://www.epa.gov/hwgenerators/resource-conservation-and-recovery-act-rcra-focus-hazardous-waste-generator-guidance

25.1.4. Asphalt debris shall be managed in one of the following ways, which will be defined at the Task Order level:

25.1.4.1. Disposed of in an off-base Class I, II, III, or IV permitted landfill.

25.1.4.2. Reused as road base on Government property.

25.1.4.3. Disposed of in the asphalt storage cell at the Hill AFB Class IV landfill (See attached map in Appendix E). Primarily asphalt with minimal amounts of soil is allowed in the asphalt cell. The contractor must submit a request to the Civil Engineering project manager at least 24 hours in advance for approval. The request must include the disposal date and time, the material to be disposed, the estimated weight and volume, and the hauler’s company name. For landfill access contact the Pavement Shop at 801-777-5731.

25.2. Concrete and excavated soils that have been determined by pre-contract laboratory analysis to be “clean” shall be managed by disposing in the Concrete/Soil Cell at the Hill AFB Class IV landfill (See attached map in Appendix E). Only concrete and soil are allowed in this cell. No plant material generally present in the top 6-12 inches of soil will be allowed. The contractor must submit a request to the Civil Engineering Project Manager at least 24 hours in advance for approval. The request must include the disposal date and time, the material to be disposed, the estimated weight and volume, and the hauler’s company name.

25.3. Wood that is recyclable shall be disposed of in an off-base Class I, II, III, IV or V permitted landfill, or in the Wood Cell at the Hill AFB Class IV landfill (See attached map in Appendix E).

Only recyclable wood, which may contain nails or staples but not bolts or brackets, is allowed in the Wood Cell. Trees larger than 6 inches in diameter are prohibited. The contractor must submit a request to the Civil Engineering Project Manager at least 24 hours in advance for approval. The request must include the disposal date and time, the material to be disposed, the estimated weight and volume, and the hauler’s company name. For access to the wood yard contact Ground Maintenance at 801-777-3997. All solid waste other than clean concrete, asphalt, excavated soil, and wood shall be sent to an off base permitted facilities. Other questions regarding the disposal of solid waste should be directed to the Civil Engineering Project Manager.

18 | P a g e

25.4. All spills shall be reported by dialing 911 and providing information as to spill location, type of material and estimated quantity, and if the spill is contained. The contractor shall ensure appropriate Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) is available to take care of spill cleanup and handling of residue.

25.5. Contractor sites shall be maintained at all times. The contractor shall be responsible for any damage due to erosion and control of fugitive dust. An on-site review will be conducted by the CO, the Construction Engineer, and the Environmental Management Division (75 CEG/CEIE) prior to use of any location for contractor setup. A follow-up program for site overview will be maintained by all parties. Release of the site by the contractor will be accompanied by a final site review, at which time site deficiencies will be noted. The contractor will have 7 calendar days to correct deficiencies. Final contract payment will be withheld pending completion of the deficiency list.

25.6. The contractor is cautioned that materials in and around this project may contain asbestos or be coated with Lead-Based Paint (LBP). The Government will make every effort to locate and identify all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and LBP prior to bidding; however, this is not always possible. These materials are often hidden and cannot be discovered until after demolition has begun. The failure of the Government to identify all ACM and LBP in no way relieves the contractor from his legal obligation to comply with state and federal regulations regarding the handling of asbestos, lead, or LBP. If suspected asbestos containing materials or LBP surfaces are encountered, immediately cease work and notify the CO and the project manager immediately. Do not conduct or continue with any work that will violate any Air Force, local, state or federal regulations regarding asbestos, lead, or LBP. If suspected materials or surfaces have not been disturbed, secure and post signs in the area where the materials are located to ensure that they are not disturbed. If the suspected materials have already been disturbed, secure and post signs in the area where the material was originally located, any areas to which materials have been moved, and any containers that suspect materials may have been placed in. Take all necessary steps to ensure that materials are not further disturbed, moved, or disposed of until directed to do so by the CO. Failure to notify the Government promptly or failure to comply with state and federal regulations will be grounds for termination of the contract and may result in other appropriate civil and/or criminal actions.
