Division 1 – General

Camp James A. Garfield Joint Military Training Center (CJAGJMTC) is seeking Construction Services to repair and/or replace failed culverts at various locations.

SW – 1 Scope

Contractor shall furnish all design, labor, equipment and materials to perform work in strict accordance with this Statement of Work and Item 611 – Pipe Culverts, Sewers, Drains and Drainage Structures of the Ohio Department of Transportation Construction and Materials Specifications. The following must be removed from CJAGJMTC no later than the project completion date: any soil or organic spoils and debris, all steel, concrete, and wood or other construction materials, equipment and vehicles. Storm water controls such as silt fence and straw bales must remain in place until directed by the CJAGJMTC environmental office; typically when grass has grown in to 70% maturity this is further explained in Attachment 1 “Environmental Procedures”. Work accomplished shall meet or exceed the specifications designated by CJAG Post Engineer. Roadway shall be repaired to match existing roadway surface following construction unless otherwise noted.

SW – 2 Site of Work

Site of work is within Camp James A. Garfield Joint Military Training Center, 8451 SR 5, Ravenna, Ohio, 44266, located in Portage County.

SW – 3 General Requirements

A. Environmental Procedures

The Contractor is required to comply with applicable portions of “Environmental Procedures”.

B. US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permit #3

Culvert replacements in this SOW are regulated under the Clean Water Act and are permitted by Nationwide Permit (NWP) #3 without the requirement for submittal of a pre-construction notification

2 | Page

(PCN) to the USACE and without the need to obtain an individual Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) from the Ohio EPA as long as the activity stays within the terms and conditions of the permit. The critical requirements are to replace the culverts in kind (minor improvements / modifications are permitted), to not move the stream channel, to provide continual stream flow downstream during culvert replacement, to remove all temporary dams/dikes used during construction, to use minimal riprap and no more than 200 LF, and to not disturb any threatened or endangered species or their habitat, i.e. no cutting of trees 3” in diameter or larger.

If the Contractor’s activities are such that they trigger the need to submit a PCN, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to develop the PCN permit application for OHARNG signature.

The Contractor will identify how they will comply with NWP #3 requirements in their EWP.

C. Erosion and Sediment Control

A construction storm water permit is not required for this project. The Contractor will install and maintain erosion and sediment control as necessary to prevent erosion from getting into streams and to prevent tracking of soil onto roads and off of the work sites. Storm water controls must remain in place until a minimum of 70% of disturbed area has a soil stabilizing grass cover established. Areas that are eroding along headwalls and slopes will be repaired and stabilized utilizing appropriate industry standard stabilization methods and as approved by the Environmental Office. Erosion and sediment controls and final site stabilization methodologies may require modification from what is in the EWP depending upon site conditions and time of year the work is completed. The Contractor is required to prevent erosion and sediment from entering streams and leaving the site and is required to stabilize and establish grass cover on the finished grade by whatever standard industry methodology is necessary regardless if the required methodologies are more intensive than what is identified in the approved EWP.

D. Waste Management

The Contractor is required to divert recyclable materials generated during this project from going into a landfill. Recyclable steel will go into the CJAGJMTC scrap metal dumpster. Non-recyclable steel and all other materials will be removed from post and properly disposed or recycled as applicable.

The following must be removed from CJAGJMTC no later than the project completion date: Any un-reused soil or organic spoils and debris, all steel, concrete, and wood or other construction materials, equipment and vehicles.

E. Soil Spoil

Excavated materials shall be reused in the construction of the new culverts where the excavated material is suitable for these operations. In areas where the excavated material is not suitable for fill or backfill the contractor shall supply suitable material; said material shall meet ODOT and Environmental specifications. Prior to reuse a visual inspection will be conducted on backfill by CJAG DPW personnel to ensure it is suitable for reuse.

F. Staging Areas

Staging areas for the equipment, fill materials, and support operations will be indicated by the CJAG Post Engineer.

3 | Page

G. Environmental Work Plan

Prior to initiating field work the Contractor will develop and gain approval of an abbreviated Environmental Work Plan (EWP). The EWP will be reviewed by the Environmental Office and revised by the Contractor to facilitate Environmental Office approval.

The EWP is only required to contain information applicable to work being performed. Do NOT include a copy of the Environmental Procedure as an attachment to the EWP.

END OF SECTION

Attachment 1

Environmental Procedures

25 January 2018

1. General

1.1. These Environmental Procedures identify environmental compliance requirements for Ohio

Army National Guard (OHARNG) projects. The Environmental Procedures are intentionally broad in scope to ensure contractors have information needed to price and complete work knowing all the requirements. In general these Environmental Procedures are applicable to all OHARNG projects, but some of the conditions are specific to certain types of work such as pest control, renovation, and demolition. Contractors conducting work not specified in these procedures are considered to be in compliance with no specific action required.

1.2. The OHARNG is committed to environmental stewardship at all of our facilities and within our communities as a whole. The Adjutant General’s Department maintains an

Environmental Management System (EMS) in accordance with (IAW) ISO 14000 standards.

If implemented accordingly, following the guidelines outlined in the following

Environmental Procedures will ensure Contractor compliance with the EMS policy. Through sound environmental management, the OHARNG is committed to:

Assuring the sustainability and availability of training lands and facilities to enable soldier training and unit readiness.

Setting and reviewing environmental objectives and target to manage OHARNG significant environmental aspects.

Establishing the means to enable continual improvement of our environmental program.

Complying with all relevant environmental legislation and regulations.

Ensuring soldiers and employees of the OHARNG are informed of environmental program requirements and are able to execute individual and organizational responsibilities.

Improving upon pollution prevention and reduction strategies through the application of innovative processes and technologies.

Considering the environmental requirements and impacts in all planning processes relative to training, equipment fielding, and construction.

1.3. The Contractor must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal environmental requirements to include applicable Army and OHARNG regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, the proper characterization, management and disposal of wastes; proper storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials; spill prevention and clean up;

obtaining proper permits and submitting proper notifications as applicable to the work being conducted; and protection of surface water and natural resources.

1.4. The Contractor (to include subcontractors) will not correspond with any regulatory agency regarding an OHARNG project without approval of the OHARNG. This includes meetings, phone calls, emails, permit/application submittals, or other written or verbal communications.

The OHARNG will review and approve all correspondence, to include permit applications and notifications, before they are sent to a regulatory agency to include but not limited to the federal or Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, the US Army Corps of Engineers, County Engineer offices, and local Soil and Water Conservation offices.

1.5. The Contractor is responsible for paying all fees and acquiring all applicable permits or regulatory approvals associated with the work they are performing. Depending upon the permit/notification, it may need to be issued in the OHARNG’s name. Coordination will be done with the OHARNG to determine this and as applicable the Contractor will complete the application/notification for OHARNG signature and submit the application and associated fees. All permit submittals will be coordinated, reviewed and approved by the OHARNG before submittal regardless of who signs the application.

1.6. Executive Order (EO) 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, establishes a federal integrated strategy toward sustainability including efforts to “eliminate waste, recycle, and prevent pollution.” Additionally, EO 13693 establishes targets to divert at least 50% of non-hazardous solid waste, including construction and demolition debris, from the waste stream. The Contractor will utilize the most current waste prevention, waste diversion (salvage, reuse, recycle), and waste minimization guidelines to ensure this target is met.

1.7. Burning of waste, brush, rubbish, and/or any other debris is not permitted. If brush or vegetation burning is desired, a request to do so must be submitted to the OHARNG for review. If the OHARNG concurs that burning is needed, the Contractor is required to submit a burn permit to the Ohio EPA along with any associated fee. If the Ohio EPA approves the application and issues a permit, the contractor is required to comply with all conditions of the permit. Upon receipt of the Ohio EPA burn permit the contractor will obtain any additional permits required by the OHARNG and/or local fire departments/districts, if any.

2. Environmental Work Plan

2.1. The Contractor will develop an Environmental Work Plan that provides details on the work to be performed and how it will be performed to ensure compliance with applicable environmental requirements. The complexity and content of the plan is directly related to work being performed. Topics addressed within the environmental work plan will include as applicable: description and location of the work to be performed; Contractor and OHARNG points of contact; storm water and sediment and erosion controls (may reference a SWP3 if applicable); site stabilization/seeding; hazardous materials to be used; spill prevention, response, and notification; emergency plan and emergency contact information; the qualified personnel responsible for waste management; waste to be generated (hazardous and non-hazardous waste); materials to be recycled; methods to be used to minimize hazardous waste generation; methods and laboratories to be used to characterize the waste; waste haulers and disposal/treatment facilities to be used (Defense Reutilization Management Office (DRMO) approved waste haulers and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) must be used for hazardous waste); proposed on site waste storage locations; on site waste management and inspection procedures to be implemented to include maximum storage time/proposed waste pickup/transport date; discharges from secondary containment and de-watering activities; and any other information pertinent to environmental compliance associated with the specific work being performed. The Environmental Work Plan will be reviewed by the

OHARNG Environmental Office and edited by the Contractor as necessary to correct deficiencies. Work cannot not begin until this work plan has been approved by the

OHARNG Environmental Office. A copy of the final work plan will be available at the project site at all times.

2.2. Two (2) hardcopies and two (2) electronic copy each of the draft version of the

Environmental Work Plan will be submitted to the OHARNG for review and approval. The draft plan will have the word “Draft” in the title and at the top or across each page. In addition, lines will be numbered in draft reports to facilitate ease of comments. Initial draft work plan submission must be received by the Environmental Office no later than 30 calendar days from issuance of the notice to proceed. The OHARNG will review the draft work plan and return any comments/changes to the Contractor within two weeks of receipt.

The Contractor will have no more than 10 working days to address comments/changes and resubmit the final draft for approval. The Contractor will resolve all comments to the satisfaction of the OHARNG and provide a final Environmental Work Plan to the

Environmental Office. The OHARNG reserves the right to re-evaluate the work plan in the event that unforeseen work conditions are encountered.

2.3. The Contractor will provide two (2) hardcopies and two (2) electronic copies each of the final Environmental Work Plan to the OHARNG. The OHARNG will review the final document to make sure all comments/revisions have been incorporated prior to final acceptance and approval.

2.4. Below is a sample outline for an Environmental Work Plan. Not all sections of the work plan may be applicable. If the section is not applicable insert “NOT APPLICABLE” below the section title, but do not remove the section from the table of contents.

3. Emergency Spill Response and Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant (POL) Management

3.1. The Contractor must comply with the local OHARNG Spill Contingency Plan and implement appropriate measure to prevent spills/releases to the environment and to respond, notify, and report when a release occurs. The Contractor is required to inspect equipment, fuel, and hazardous materials storage areas to ensure there are no leaks or releases. The Contractor is responsible for implementing spill response and cleanup of all spills/leaks within the project area immediately upon discovery. Clean up must be satisfactory to the OHARNG and/or the

Ohio EPA or other applicable regulatory agency. Wastes will be managed as described in the waste management section of these Environmental Procedures.

3.2. The OHARNG will be notified of all spills/releases. Incidental releases (petroleum product less than 25 gallons, a release that stays of OHARNG property, not in water, and not a reportable quantity) will be responded to by the contractor and the OHARNG notified by telephone within 2-hours. Any spill of petroleum products over 25 gallons, a spill that goes off of OHARNG property, a spill of any amount into a body of water, or a reportable quantity release must be reported to the OHARNG immediately. All spills/releases must be reported in writing on the OHARNG Spill Report Form (Attachment 1) and submitted to the

OHARNG within 24 hours. The Contractor will be provided with a copy of the OHARNG

Spill Report Form and a point of contact for submitting such reports/notifications.

3.3. The Contractor is required to have a spill kit with appropriate absorbents, plastic bags, drums, shovels, and other supplies and equipment suitable to clean up any releases or spills from their activities.

3.4. Contractor stationary fuel pods must be in/on secondary containment with a storage capacity of 110% of the container. A double walled container is sufficient secondary containment.

Releases of rain water from secondary containment can only be initiated after approval from the OHARNG Environmental Office and after inspection and verification/absorption of all petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL) and/or other contaminants in the water by the

Contractor. Discharge of POL or other contaminants/pollutants from secondary containment is not permitted. At minimum, discharging through an oil only boom/filter or an oil absorption filter bag is required. If the contractor cannot show proof of lack of contaminants, the water will need to be sampled and characterize to determine the proper discharge/disposal method. The contractor will document all discharges/disposal from secondary containments to include name and signature of person conducting discharge/disposal, date of discharge/disposal, volume discharged/disposed, method of discharge/disposal, method of determining water was clean to discharge (analytical result if applicable), and a statement that any discharge did not contain POL or other contaminants. Discharges from secondary containment will be addressed in the Waste Management Section of the Environmental

Work Plan.

3.5. Individual fuel/POL cans (5 gallon or less) and hazardous materials used on job sites must be stored in a manner that prevents release to the environment. This will usually involve a covered storage area with appropriate secondary containment that protects them from rain and accidental damage. Chainsaw fuel and bar oil on logging jobs can be left at the tree felling site in the woods or brought out to the log landing each day.

4. Erosion Control, Storm Water and Other Surface Water Management

4.1. For all projects, regardless of the disturbance acreage, the Contractor will use all methods appropriate and required to prevent soil from leaving the project site either by wind, water, or on vehicles and equipment. Silt fence and other temporary soil run off detention methods will be used as needed. Spoil piles and disturbed areas will be managed in accordance with the stipulations outlined in the Ohio EPA General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination system (NPDES) Storm Water Construction Permit and the most current version of the Ohio

Department of Natural Resources’ Rainwater and Land Development Manual; Ohio’s

Standards for Storm Water Management, Land Development, and Urban Stream Protection

(available on-line). The site must be seeded with a temporary seed mix if left idle for the designated period of time. The project site will be closed out by preparing the soil as a seed bed and seeding and mulching with the appropriate seed mix. Temporary erosion control measures (silt fence) will be removed by the contractor once vegetation has been established and soil on the project area is stabilized.

4.2. Post construction permanent storm water / water quality controls must be designed and installed in accordance with Section 438 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of

2007 (EISA) and the Ohio EPA General NPDES Storm Water Construction Permit. The current technical guidance on implementation of the Section 438 storm water runoff requirements is available on-line. The post construction requirements will be incorporated into all designs/plans and implemented/constructed by construction contractors as part of the initial site preparation.

4.3. Native seed mixes will be used where suitable and compatible with maintenance requirements. An appropriate turf grass mix will be used for high traffic and high maintenance areas. Annual ryegrass can be added to mixes to provide quick cover. For late season seeding, winter wheat/rye can be added to provide a quick cover. Contractors will use the approved grass seed mixes listed below or propose alternative seed mixes. The OHARNG

Environmental Office must approve all seed mixes. The seed mixes that will be used will be identified in the Storm Water Management, Sediment, and Erosion Controls section of the

Environmental Work Plan.

The following seed is approved for establishment of temporary cover. Species can be mixed if/as necessary for specific application.

Annual Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum), broadcast @ 40 lbs/acre, drilled at 30 lbs/acre, mulch with a minimum of 3 bales of straw per 1000 square feet. Use mulch netting or fiber mat on slopes greater than 6%. Grows quickly but of short duration. Good growth during hot summer period.

Winter Rye (Secale cereal) broadcast @ 112 lbs/acre, drilled at 80 lbs/acre, mulch with a minimum of 3 bales of straw per 1000 square feet. Use mulch netting or fiber mat on slopes greater than 6%. Good for fall seeding. Select a hardy variety.

Oats (Avena sativa) broadcast @ 80 lbs/acre, drilled at 65 lbs/acre, mulch with a minimum of 3 bales of straw per 1000 square feet. Use mulch netting or fiber mat on slopes greater than 6%. Best for spring seeding. Fall seeding will die when winter sets in.

40% Nodding Wild Rye (Elymus canadensis), 40% Virginia wild rye (Elymus virginicus), 15% Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata), and 5% Black-eyed Susan

(Rudbeckia hirta), broadcast @ 35 lbs/acre, drilled at 25 lbs/acre, mulch with a minimum of 3 bales of straw per 1000 square feet. Add 20 lbs/acre of Annual Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum) to the broadcast mix and 15 lbs/acre to the drilled mix. Good for areas that will remain unfinished indefinitely.

23.5% Nodding Wild Rye (Elymus canadensis), 25% Virginia wild rye (Elymus virginicus), 18.75% Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata), 1.5% Black-eyed Susan

(Rudbeckia hirta), and 31.25% Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), broadcast @

25 lbs/acre, drilled at 18 lbs/acre), mulch with a minimum of 3 bales of straw per 1000 square feet. Add 20 lbs/acre of Annual Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum) to the broadcast mix and 15 lbs/acre to the drilled mix. Good for late season (after 15 September) quick temporary cover.

The following seed is approved for establishment of permanent cover in areas that are not maintained as turf grass or high foot traffic areas such as range impact areas that are not regularly mowed, roadsides outside of cantonment areas, fence lines outside of cantonment areas, etc. Substitution with similar species is permitted but must be approved by the

OHARNG Environmental Office.

23.5% Nodding Wild Rye (Elymus canadensis), 25% Virginia wild rye (Elymus virginicus), 22% Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), 18.75% Partridge Pea

(Chamaecrista fasciculata), 7.75% Thin-leaved Coneflower (Rudbeckia triloba), 1.5%

Brown fox sedge (Carex vulpinoidea), 1.5% Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), broadcast @ 18 lbs/acre, drilled at 12 lbs/acre, mulch with a minimum of 3 bales of straw per 1000 square feet. Add 20 lbs/acre of Annual Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum) to the broadcast mix and 15 lbs/acre to the drilled mix. This mix is for use in open areas that receive good sunlight.

31% Deertongue (Dichanthelium clandestinum), 25% Virginia wild rye (Elymus virginicus), 25% Nodding Wild Rye (Elymus canadensis), 10% Big Bluestem

(Andropogon gerardii), and 9% Side-Oats Grama (Bouteloua curtipendula), broadcast @

30 lbs/acre, drilled at 20 lbs/acre), mulch with a minimum of 3 bales of straw per 1000 square feet. Add 20 lbs/acre of Annual Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum) to the broadcast mix and 15 lbs/acre to the drilled mix. This mix is for use in shaded areas, partial sun, and openings in the forest canopy.

Areas that are maintained with regular mowing during the growing season and receive heavy foot traffic will be seeded with an appropriate turf grass mix. Such areas include lawns in cantonment areas, parade fields, and range operational control areas (ROCAs). Turf grass mixes of Kentucky blue grass, fine fescue, and perennial ryegrass using varieties appropriate for the specific application will be identified by the contractor and reviewed and approved by the OHARNG prior to application. Contractors will provide draught resistant varieties in seed mixes. A potential mix and varieties are as follows.

40% Kentucky Bluegrass (applicable varieties), 30% Perennial Ryegrasses (applicable varieties), 20% Hard Fescue (applicable varieties), and 10% Creeping Red Fescue (applicable varieties)

4.4. For projects that disturb one (1) or more acres of ground (or otherwise meet the Ohio EPA criteria for permit coverage), the Prime Contractor will obtain coverage under the Ohio EPA

General NPDES Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity.

The Contractor will submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) as the Operator and pay the applicable fee. The NOI must be approved by the OHARNG Environmental Office prior to submittal to the Ohio EPA. The Contractor will coordinate the content of the NOI with the OHARNG

Environmental Office and will make modifications as directed. The contractor is required to have a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) prior to submitting the NOI (see below for SWP3 information). Subcontractors, as applicable, will submit co-permittee NOI’s after the Prime Contractor has obtained authorization and a permit number from the Ohio

EPA. All co-permittee NOI’s must be approved by the OHARNG Environmental Office prior to submittal to the Ohio EPA. Copies of all NOI’s and Ohio EPA authorization letters will be provided to the OHARNG project manager and Environmental Office. In situations where the construction permit is in the name of the OHARNG, the Contractor and applicable subcontractors will be co-permittees under the OHARNG’s permit.

4.5. In the absence of an Architect and Engineer (A&E), the Contractor is responsible for the development of Erosion and Storm Water Control (E&S) Plans and Details and the subsequent development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) in accordance with the requirements contained in the Ohio EPA General NPDES Permit for Storm Water

Discharges Associated with Construction Activity. The Contractor will ensure that E&S controls and permanent post construction / water quality controls comply with Section 438 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) and the latest version of the Ohio

Department of Natural…
