STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR

Capitol Power Plant: UDS Tunnels IDIQ Contract Structural Repairs & Tunnel Improvements (2021-

2028)

Date: January 15, 2021

1.0 General

The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) will award an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for Structural Repairs & Tunnel Improvements for all Capitol Power Plant (CPP) Utility Distribution System (UDS) Tunnels. This requirement is intended to safely extend the service life of all the utility tunnels.

1.1 Short Description

The contractor shall complete discrete concrete repairs; install chemical curtain grouting;

install crack injections; repair expansion joints; repair, clean, and or repaint existing pipe supports, stanchions, and conduits within the UDS tunnels.

1.2 Background

The Capitol Power Plant (CPP) provides steam and/or chilled water service to twenty-three (23) buildings within the Capitol Complex. Buildings receive steam and/or chilled water service from the network of piping located within the CPP utility tunnels and from direct-buried piping systems. The Utility Distribution System (UDS) also serves as a pathway for communication and security cabling between various buildings and is approximately 4 miles in length. The walkable and non-walkable tunnels are identified below:

The UDS tunnels are aging and have experienced levels of decline primarily due to reinforcing steel corrosion, delamination, and spalling of concrete. The condition and environments within these tunnels have been documented in a series of condition assessments and surveys since 2006. Based on these reports, the AOC has implemented a program of repairs and improvements to the tunnel network. Through the implementation of this program, significant structural and environmental improvements have been made.

While the repairs and improvements have been substantial, future repairs and maintenance will continue to be necessary to provide a safe environment for those working within the tunnels and to protect the essential utilities routed within. Electrical and communication cable trays, conduits, and their supports have suffered extensive corrosion due to environmental factors related to tunnel integrity. A large quantity of electrical and communication cable tray/conduit and supports have corroded due to environmental factors related to tunnel integrity. Structural steel repairs are also necessary to provide structural stability to steam pipe support stanchions.

The walkable and utility (non-walkable) tunnels, buried pipelines, and utility vaults are AOC permit-required confined spaces and may contain asbestos-containing material and lead-based painted materials. All entrants to these facilities shall adhere to the CPP Standard Operating Procedures, including wearing appropriate PPE, personal protective equipment required by OSHA, and established by the Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) prepared by the contractor awarded this project. All workers must take and submit certifications as proof of completing all required training before entering a tunnel, including, but not limited to, Permit-Required Confined Space, Mold Awareness, Asbestos Awareness, Heat Stress Prevent, Respiratory Protection Program, Personal Protection Equipment, Emergency Action and Response Plan, and CPP UDS & CPP Asbestos O & M Plan.

The above-referenced tunnels and utility vaults require structural assessment and concrete repairs at regular intervals to ensure the tunnels are structurally sound. Tasks awarded to the successful Contractor will be based on future annual Structural Assessments. It is anticipated that all awarded tasks will only involve the walkable tunnels.

1.3 Objectives

The contractor shall safely perform demolition and construction work as described in this Statement of Work and in the Task Order Contract Documents within the UDS tunnels to extend the service life of existing distribution infrastructure.

A Coordinate with stakeholders and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), including the Senate, House, Library of Congress, Supreme Court of United States, U.S.
