SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

The contractor shall provide all plant, labor, tools, equipment, and materials (except as indicated otherwise in the specifications) and perform all work in strict accordance with the specifications and plans required for the Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC). The IDCis for a broad range of maintenance, repair and minor construction work on vehicle roadways and airfield paving projects at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). The work is required in support of Public Works (PW) activities headquartered at JBLM. During the contract period, the Government will identify tasks required to complete each specific job and will issue Requests for Proposals. The contractor shall be required to furnish all materials, equipment and personnel necessary to manage and accomplish the Task Orders (TOs). The Task Orders may include construction, removal, replacement, and repairs associated with roadway and airfield projects, as defined below. Removal, replacement and repair of existing subgrade, utilities, shoulders, curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other real property common to roadway and airfield pavements shall also be included – depending on unique requirements of individual task orders.

1.2 DEFINTION OF “ROADWAY AND AIRFIELD PROJECTS”:

1.2.1 Roadway Pavement: Is a surfaced area designated to carry vehicular traffic that includes the entire pavement system structure above the subgrade. Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA) or concrete required to support vehicle loadings whether they are the traveled way, shoulders, turn lanes, auxiliary lane, parking lots, is to be considered roadway pavement.

1.2.2 Airfield Pavement: Is a surfaced area designated to carry aircraft traffic and includes the entire pavement system structure above the subgrade. HMA or concrete required to support aircraft loadings, whether interior (hangar floors) or exterior, (runway, taxiway, taxi lane, aprons, shoulders, landing pads) is to be considered airfield pavement.

1.2.3 Range Roads: (Also known as Combat Vehicle Trails) are permanent roads used to access combat training areas on JBLM. Trails are to be useable by heavy tactical vehicles and equipment, construction equipment, log hauling operations, and lowboy truck and trailer. Typical Range Road can include:

1.2.4 Sidewalks: Is a safe path for people to walk along that is separated from motorized traffic. Sidewalks may also be used as a paved path, trail or footpath that is not next to a road, for example, sidewalks between barracks, business, parking lots or recreational area. Surface material can be cement concrete, asphalt or gravel. Sidewalks are to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant, constructed on top of a prepared gravel base, and to match existing grades. Most sidewalks are constructed as part of larger road projects; however, task orders can be awarded primarily as sidewalk construction.

1.2.5 Curb and Gutter: Used to separate the road from the roadside, control traffic flow, discourage drivers from parking or driving on sidewalks or leaving the roadway at non-controlled access points. They also provide structural support to the pavement edge. Curbs and gutters can be used to channel runoff water from rain or melted snow and ice into storm drains. Typically curb and gutter will be made of Portland cement concrete with an approximate total height of 16-inches and a gutter width of 12-inches and curb width of 6-inches. Concrete can be placed by a slip form/extrusion machine, formed method, or by a combination of these methods.

1.2.6 Parking Lot: Is a cleared area that is intended for parking vehicles that has a concrete, asphalt or graveled surface. The area is organized into parking spaces, which are generally marked with paint lines or wheel stops for each vehicle and driving lanes in between so that vehicles can drive into and out of the spaces. The arrangement of the parking spaces relative to the driving lanes can feature perpendicular parking spaces, angle parking, or parallel parking, or possibly some combination of these.

1.2.7 Typical Work Requirements:

1.2.7.1 Typical scope of work shall include preparation of roadways and airfield pavements to uniform grades and cross-sections. These shall include:

- Demolition, relocation and installation of HMA and concrete pavement for roadway and airfields

- Demolition, relocation and installation of HMA and gravel for parking lots

- Grade and install gravel for Range Roads

- Demolition, excavation, backfill, compaction, and grading

- Pavement rejuvenation to include crack and joint repair, pavement patch, bituminous surface treatment

- Airfield concrete pavement panel replacement

1.2.7.2 Associated incidental demolition, relocation and installation may be required with the IDC task orders including:

- Demolition, relocation and installation of concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter

- Pulverize planing asphalt, excavate and haul.

- Demolition, relocation and installation of storm water drainage pipe and structures

1.2.7.3 Site Layout: The contractor shall be responsible for determining vertical and horizontal angle points and distances; surface and subsurface features relevant to task order; and construction staking and layout based on government provided simplified sketches. Staking and layout shall include calculating and setting elevations and grades to provide positive drainage for pavements, curbs and gutters and verifying existence of drainage structures (e.g. A Govt.-furnished sketch may simply show the geometry of a new parking lot and the contractor shall then provide all layouts - including calculating elevations and grades). Other site layout requirements may include survey of existing conditions of the work site: topography, existing buildings and infrastructure, and some underground infrastructure whenever possible (e.g. measuring invert elevations and diameters of sewers at manholes).
