9. Existing Conditions:

The 38 ft x 30 ft storage building is a 1,170 sq ft one story wood framed structure built on a walk-out stone foundation. It has an asphalt roof and vinyl clapboard siding. Two wooden decks are attached. One measures 9.5 ft x 6 ft and the other 14 ft x 10 ft. A chain link fence runs parallel to the rear of the building and is located approximately 4 ft away. Utility lines run overhead along the rear of the building. Power runs from the project office to the storage building through an underground conduit. A pit drain conduit is depicted in as-built drawings as running from the existing nearby well pump chamber to the stone wall adjacent to the storage building.

The building was acquired by USACE as part of the construction of Buffumville Dam. It served as field office during dam construction and has been used as a storage shed throughout most of its existence. The building is currently in very poor condition. The stone foundation is crumbling, and the roof is failing. There is significant water damage evident in the interior. The floors appear structurally unsound, and the doors no longer close properly.

Construction of the new structure is outside the scope of this contract. See separate attachments for informational photos/map & site plan.

Approximately 6 large pines were recently removed from the project site. The stumps were ground; however, the root systems remain. An additional 16 trees will be cut prior to demolition through a separate contract. The stumps and root systems will be left in place. Many of these stumps are located within the project area.

Samples from various components of the structure were collected by a licensed asbestos inspector. Samples were tested for the presence of asbestos fibers by an independent laboratory. All samples tested negative for asbestos containing material. See attached documentation for additional asbestos inspection information.

Various surfaces of the structure were tested by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) by a licensed lead inspector. Numerous painted surfaced tested positive for lead including the original wood clapboard siding, foundation, windows, windowsills, doors, and door frames. All debris and waste must be disposed of in accordance with State, Federal and Local law. A receipt of disposal of all waste shall be provided to the Technical Point of Contact. See attached documentation for additional lead inspection information.

Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative. The documentation shall include the names of contract personnel trained and which training they completed; the Contractor shall maintain training records as part of their contract files and be prepared to provide copies of training certificates to the Government representative. Contractor personnel and vehicles are subject to search when entering federal installations. Additionally, all contract personnel shall comply with Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures, Random Antiterrorism Measures (commonly referred to as “RAMs”), and Health Protection Condition (HPCON) measures. The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures –this includes identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clauses of this contract, should FPCON or HPCON levels at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

Suspicious Activity Reporting training (e.g. iWATCH, CorpsWatch, or See Something, Say Something): All contract personnel shall receive initial and annual refresher training from the RA representative on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training provides contract personnel with general information on suspicious behavior, and guidance on reporting suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity.
