Utility demolition and removal must be coordinated with on-site personnel for planned outages. Contractor personnel shall allow at least two weeks for outage request approvals prior to performing the work.

Existing sidewalks, pavements and other associated features will be completely removed. (On the site visit, the Customer has decided to keep all existing pavement around the site to remain in-place.)

Contractor shall install and maintain sediment and erosion control measures, such as, silt fence and storm water inlet protection prior to the start of site demolition work.

Structures shall be demolished in a systematic manner, from the top of the structure to the ground.

Mechanical Work:

Remove all mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection systems and equipment completely, including but not limited to: air compressor units, exhaust fans, unit heaters, pumps, water heaters, air handling equipment, sprinkler system components, ductwork and diffusers, mechanical and plumbing piping, valves, control components, panels and wiring. Remove any existing, external, above-ground piping routing to facility and support structures.

Remove air conditioning, refrigeration, and other equipment containing refrigerants without releasing chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants to the atmosphere in accordance with the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990. Recover all refrigerants prior to removing any air conditioning, refrigeration, and other equipment containing refrigerants and dispose of in accordance with Class I and Class II ODS as defined in Section 602 (a) and (b) of the Clean Air Act. Place recovered ODS in cylinders meeting AHRI Guidelines K suitable for type ODS (filled to no more than 80% capacity)and provide appropriate labeling and turn into the Navy as directed by the Contracting Officer.

Electrical Work:

Remove all electrical systems and equipment completely, including but not limited to lighting, receptacles, disconnects, electrical wiring and conduit.

· Providing necessary safety to protect any adjacent existing buildings, landscape and associated features.

· Cleaning up debris on project site at the end of each working day.

· Properly dispose of removed materials and debris at completion of project.

· Disposal of demolished material and equipment.

· After completion of the demolition, all disturbed areas shall be re-graded to restore natural drainage patterns and returned to open turf cover with topsoil or clean fill and seeding. The demolition site shall be compacted, graded and free from protrusions, demolition debris and abrupt edges.

· Once seed is established and approval is given by the Environmental Department Representative, Contractor shall remove sediment and erosion control devices.

During the site visit, it was discovered that asbestos tiles (9” x 9”) were discovered in Building 370, under the existing 12” x 12” VCT tiles. The 9” x 9” tiles also contain asbestos mastic/glue to adhere the tiles to the concrete floor. It was also noted that Building 370A (Boiler Room) has a below-grade fuel oil tank (500 Gallon) that needs to emptied, cleaned, removed and transported off-site. Additionally, the steam pipes both underground in the steam trench and aboveground going from Building 370A to Building 1352 could possibility have asbestos containing materials.

Structures Containing Blasting Agents: Decontamination of structures that have contained blasting agents composed of high percentages of water soluble, hygroscopic salts such as ammonium nitrate and fuels may be achieved by sweeping or other physical means. Water wash down usually results in the safe decontamination of this building category. In certain cases, collecting and treating the wash down water may be required. Open burning is not recommended for this explosives contaminated building category. Structures Containing Black Powder and Pyrotechnic Mixtures: Decontamination of black powder and similar pyrotechnic mixtures may also be achieved by mechanical cleaning followed by water wash down. However, due to the ease of ignition after drying, burning is recommended for this building category.

Structures Containing Other Explosive Chemicals and Compounds: Water insoluble molecular explosives such as nitroglycerin, tetryl, TNT, PETN, RDX, and HMX require special decontamination and dismantling procedures. These procedures may include sweeping and physical removal followed by steam cleaning of equipment and the use of solvents, such as acetone, or a desensitizing oil prior to the removal of threaded fittings. Trinitroresorcinol, lead styphnate, lead azide, mercury fulminate and other initiating explosives are quite sensitive to initiation by heat, impact and friction. These materials present the supplemental problem of residual metal contamination after the criteria of reactivity is eliminated. Structures that have contained these two groups of explosives require soil monitoring to assure complete, safe closure of the site. Bioremediation or ash and soil removal may be required. It is highly recommended that buildings used to manufacture or process any of these two groups of explosives be burned to eliminate possible hazards associated with reactive materials that may have accumulated in cracks, crevices or larger spaces within the floors and walls.

Unexploded Ordinance (UXO)/Munitions & Explosives of Concern (MEC) Monitoring & Clearance: The project sites are located within the Range limits of NSA South Potomac Dahlgren and therefore, require UXO/MEC monitoring and clearance. The approved work plan and DB specifications will need to indicate the area to be monitored and include the pertinent conditions and constraints that will be imposed on the Construction Contractor. The project locations will require all of the site clearance and/or excavation work to be monitored by a qualified/certified UXO Technician and/or coordinated with a Government provided MEC Contractor via the NAVFAC KO.

With respect to the National Anthem, please see guidance below.

Weekday National Anthem Broadcast on Giant Voice System

The National Anthem will play at 8 a.m. over the "Giant Voice" public broadcast system installed on board all facilities on this contract. This will be the case every weekday morning, Monday through Friday. We are accustomed to hearing the National Anthem at sporting events or military ceremonies. Most Americans - through observation, if nothing else - know the proper response is to give our attention to the music, placing our hand over our heart, halting conversation and standing at attention until the music stops. Where does this etiquette come from? It has its roots in Navy Regulations (Article 1206) as well as U.S. Code Title 36, Section 301 regarding the National Anthem. The following protocol is directed during a rendition of the National Anthem. When the American flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform, wearing a hat, should remove their hat with their right hand and hold the hat at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart.
