SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL

The WORK to be performed under this contract shall consist of furnishing all plant, tools, equipment, materials, supplies, manufactured articles, labor, transportation and services, including fuel, power, water, and essential communications, and performing all WORK, or other operations required for the fulfillment of the contract in strict accordance with the Contract Documents. The WORK shall be complete, and all work, materials, and services not expressly indicated or called for in the Contract Documents which may be necessary for the complete and proper construction of the WORK in good faith shall be provided by the CONTRACTOR as though originally so indicated.

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

This project is the last phase of a multi-year effort to repair housing structures and sites in the Lake Louise Housing area. This project will consist of work related to Units 823 through 830, and site/drainage work for Units 808 to 812.

The project includes the below described work.

This is a performance based specification – refer to Section 010100 paragraph 1.0.3.1.

Standards of performance for work on the housing units themselves, is evidenced by the previously completed housing units.

The contract drawings show some, but not all, of the work required.

A. Heating fuel tanks: Remove and dispose of existing underground heating fuel storage tanks and install new above ground tanks. Includes construction of foundation pad, fenced enclosure, and plumbing to boilers. If present, tiger loops at boilers with supply and return fuel lines will maintained. If contaminated soil is encountered, this task shall include stockpiling, but no remediation. Soil shall be stockpiled on Coast Guard property at the site(s) indicated by the COR.

For purposes of bidding assume 30 CY total of contaminated soil will be removed during tank removals. Cost of stockpiling, testing, and hauling and other regulatory requirements are to be included in the Base Bid.

Note: Remediation is not included in the work. Soil shall be stockpiled on Coast Guard property (Pad 94 Nymans Peninsula or other location to be determined by the

COR).

PROJECT 3578866 Page 1 of 5

B. Asphalt and Concrete: Repave Lake Louise Drive, construct new asphalt parking areas, remove and replace failed asphalt driveways including 18-inches of foundation/subbase materials, repair sidewalks as needed, replace curb and gutter in areas where repaving of road is performed. Pressure wash concrete slabs, patios, and retaining walls that are to remain. Repairing or sealing concrete is not required.

C. Earthwork, Drainage, and Grading: Regrade sites to facilitate surface water drainage away from structures and into existing water bodies. Install storm pipe and yard inlets as shown on the civil plans. Provide a minimum slope of 2% away from each building for a minimum of 6 feet to the greatest extent possible. Grading shown on the plans is for guidance and may need to be reworked as necessary to maintain the 2% minimum slopes based on field surveying during grading operations. Remove landscaping and trees to facilitate the work. Stumps shall be removed inside all proposed fenced yards, and within a 4 foot perimeter outside of the yard fences. Grade, topsoil and hydro seed all areas disturbed by construction activities. Disposal of stumps and trees shall be off Coast Guard property. Once yard areas are seeded, the first cutting (within 30 calendar days) is the contractor’s responsibility. Follow-on maintenance will be accomplished by the resident. The contractor will re-seed once (within 30 calendar days) after the initial seeding, regardless of the cause of lack of growth. Anticipate reseeding will be required on 100% of the areas. Schedule work such that all seeding will be complete prior to 15 August.

D. Fences: construct to enclose back yards, including atop retaining walls, and around above-ground fuel tank pads. Fences shall be 4 feet high, green PVC coated chain link with 4-foot-wide gates for yards and 6-feet high for above ground storage tanks. The fence posts and gates shall be set to minimize clearance openings under the fencing in areas of steeper slopes and/or drainage ditches.

E. Exterior of housing units: Roof replacement is limited to Buildings Numbers 827-830. Other repairs apply to ALL units.

1) Remove existing roofing materials such as asphalt shingle roofing, felt underlayment, metal fasteners, old caulking, foam fillers, rubber boots, debris etc.

3) Remove/roof over existing skylights over porches and paint underside to match existing with two coats of exterior latex paint.

4) Pressure wash: the exterior of housing units, including all trim, gutters, and downspouts.

PROJECT 3578866 Page 2 of 5

5) Replace siding and trim on exterior of chimneys. Replace with manmade (Azek and cement board siding) materials, and metal flashings to provide a low maintenance surface.

Responses to DCRs will be issued within 14 work days of receipt of the request, unless the Government determines that a longer period of time is necessary to provide an adequate response.

The 14 days referred to herein will start on the date stamped received "in from the contractor" by the Government. If the contractor submits a DCR on an activity with 14 days or less of float on the current project schedule, the contractor shall not be entitled to any time extension due to the time it takes the Government to respond to the request, provided that the Government responds in the days set forth above.

Responses from the Government will not change any requirement of the contract documents unless so noted in the response to the DCR. If noted as a change, the Government will issue either a no-cost Field Adjustment or formal modification under the Changes clause. If the contractor believes that a response to a DCR will cause a change to the requirements of the contract documents, the contractor shall immediately give written notice to the Contracting Officer stating that the contractor considers the response to be a change. Failure to give such written notice immediately shall waive the contractor's right to seek additional time or cost under the Changes clause of the contract.
