https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4265/26 7/11

2.1.0.7 Description of Areas to be cleared: (See Exhibit 1-snow maps) Aberdeen North

82.4 Lane Miles of Roadway

143.3 Acres of Parking Space

49,194 linear feet of sidewalk

2.1.0.8 The Contractor shall provide one dedicated On-Site Supervisor for all operations on APG North and a designated quality control person, which cannot be the supervisor nor in the same chain of command as the Supervisor.

He /She must have full written authority to act for the contractor-on-contractor quality control matters.

Even if the post is closed for non- essential employees, there will still be significant vehicular activity on the post.

2.1.0.11 The Contractor shall remove snow/ice to prevent accumulation from roadways, parking spaces, sidewalks, and other areas as designated on the attached maps. The Contractor shall ensure paved areas are safe for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic sidewalk areas that the COR requests for clearing shall have adequate deicing material for the conditions so that ice cannot form and so that pedestrians have foot traction. The Contractor shall certify that all parking lot curbs are visible and that all catch basins, or the part of a storm drain or sewer system that traps debris from entering drainage pipes, are exposed. The Contractor shall make sure that at least ninety percent (90%) of all parking spaces are cleared of snow/ice and are available for parking. At the conclusion of the work, the Contractor shall contact the COR and state that the job has been completed. The contractor shall not leave the site prior to contacting the assigned COR, Technical Monitor, or Contracting Officer. Only a warranted Contracting Officer can negotiate changes to the scope of the contract.

2.1.0.12 Snow Event Measurement standard/method: Measurements of peak snowfall accumulations will be based on National Weather Service Guidelines (NOAA). The Government will utilize a snow board (2x2 by 3/4” foot piece of plywood), painted white to minimize heat from the sun that could melt the snow, to measure snowfall accumulation.

A total of three boards on the installation (APG North) (1 Primary and 2 Alternate) will be placed on the ground upon initial notification of a possible snow event, at the mutual agreed upon (between the COR or other Government representative and Contractor) locations. Locations will be identified prior to the first snowfall of the season. A permanent weatherproof ruler is mounted on the board and will be utilized to measure snowfall accumulation.

2.1.0.12.1 Snow measurement(s) will be conducted by the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES) or designated representative upon notification from the COR. The contractor is responsible for requesting the execution of snow measurements to the COR. DES will conduct the measurements within 30 minutes of notification from the COR. The snow depth will be recorded on a provided spreadsheet, picture taken of measurement, then forwarded or handed to the COR. Immediately after the measurement is taken, the snow board will be wiped clean and returned to the same location. Any additional accumulation after the initial measurement has been taken will be added to the event total.

2.1.0.12.2 A snow event encompasses: Initial notification from COR to Contractor of potential snowfall until the end of snowfall and audible agreement between the Contractor and COR. If additional snowfall begins within a five (5) hour window after the termination of the snow event and the contractor is required to continue snow removal and salting applications, the contractor is allowed to request an additional snowfall measurement, which will be added to the initial measurement for invoicing purposes. Salting is a continuous action throughout the whole event (Multiple Applications of salting during an event is considered one (1) event). The COR reserves the right to allow a third measurement, if appropriate. Any snow removal required outside the five (5) hour window will be considered a new snow event. The Contractor will be notified to mobilize equipment by the COR 2 hours prior to a snow event. In the event of no accumulation of snow or ice, and if the contractor personnel that are present onsite (APG) are held beyond 2 hours; the contractor will be paid an hourly standard fee for onsite personnel.

2.1.0.12.3 In the event of non-uniformity snowfall on the primary snow board (drifting or windblown), additional measurements at the three predetermined alternate locations will be utilized. The multiple measurements will be averaged together to obtain an accurate measure of the snowfall event. The measurements will not include the largest https://sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-4265/26 8/11 drifts or areas that have had snowfall drastically reduced by the wind. (Example: Board #1=2.4”, #2=2.2”, #3=2.1” [2.4+2.2+2.1= 6.7”/3] = Avg. 2.2”)
