Tab 4 – Addendum to the Statement of Work HATS Decommissioning Project from US Consulate, Peshawar

Project Overview:

The U.S. Consulate in Peshawar is seeking a technically sound and experienced contractor to safely dismantle, remove, and transport installed Force Entry Ballistic Resistant (FEBR)-rated residential Hardened Alternative System (HATS) and Support Containers from the Peshawar Consulate to the American Embassy Office at the European Logistical Support Office (ELSO), Port of Antwerp, Belgium via the port of Karachi, Pakistan. This project involves the removal and transportation of modular residential facilities consisting of thirty (30) FEBR HATS and 02 non-residential support containers, along with all associated structural components, walkways, roofing systems, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing infrastructure apart from the items highlighted in green in Tab-3. The work requires specialized expertise in heavy lifting, structural dismantling, and logistics coordination to ensure safe removal and transportation of these critical assets to their final shipping destination.

Site and Equipment Description:

Current Installation:

The Peshawar Consulate currently operates a multi-level modular housing complex constructed from custom-made FEBR-rated residential HATS and support units.

The HATS unit is a self-contained modular structure measuring approximately 8 feet by 8 feet by 20 feet and weighing approximately 13 tons. Two support containers, one of which are designated as a demark room measures 10 feet by 8 feet and the other one as a fire pump container measures 20 feet by 8 feet. HATS units are currently fully functional and integrated with necessary electrical systems, Fire Alarm and Fire suppression system, and plumbing infrastructure. Refer to GEN- A001 in Tab-5 for details on the system layout.

Structural Configuration:

The HATS installation at Peshawar Consulate is engineered as a sophisticated two-level structural system designed to maximize space efficiency while maintaining

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 2 of 25 security standards. The ground level, designated as Level 1, has a finished floor elevation of 0.168 meters above the reference datum, while the second level (Level

2) is positioned at 2.787 meters, creating a clear vertical separation between residential floors. The entire structure rises to a roof elevation of 6.211 meters at its highest point, with the top of the HATS units themselves reaching 5.168 meters.

This vertical arrangement allows for efficient stacking of the modular units while providing adequate clearance for utilities, walkways, and access systems. The foundation system consists of a concrete slab on grade positioned at elevation -0.118 meters below the reference datum. Refer to detail in Tab-5.

Structural Components to be Removed:

The HATS facility is supported by an extensive structural steel framework that must be carefully dismantled and removed as part of this project. The primary vertical support system consists of hollow structural steel (HSS) columns with dimensions of 6 inches by 6 inches by 1/2-inch wall thickness (152mm × 12.7mm in metric).

The lightest beams are W6x20 sections, used primarily for roof support where loads are lighter. Medium-duty framing utilizes W10x19 beams for Level 2 floor framing in areas with moderate loading. The primary structural beams are W10x26 sections, which carry the heaviest loads in the Level 2 floor system and roof framing. The staircase systems are supported by structural channels, specifically C10x15.3 and C12x20.7 sections serving as stair stringers. The entire structural system is stabilized by an extensive bracing network. Refer to Tab-05 for details.

Walkways and Platforms:

The Level 2 access system consists of an extensive network of elevated walkways that provide circulation between HATS units and emergency egress routes. The walkway surfaces are constructed from industrial-grade metal bar grating, specifically 25mm × 5mm galvanized steel grating that provides slip-resistant walking surfaces while allowing drainage and visibility to the level below. The structural steel beams supporting these walkways have their top flanges positioned at elevation 2.762 meters, with the grating surface itself at 2.787 meters, creating a 25mm bearing depth. All walkway edges are protected by metal guardrails that meet safety code requirements. Refer to Tab-5 for details.

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 3 of 25

Roofing System:

The weather protection system for the HATS facility consists of a sophisticated metal roofing assembly designed for durability and water management. The primary roofing material is serpentine galvanized metal roofing, a corrugated profile that provides excellent water shedding characteristics. This roofing is supported by a structural metal deck consisting of 38mm deep (18-gauge thickness) galvanized steel decking.

Additionally, the roof of the HATS is filled with sandbags and covered with corrugated sheets. These sandbags and corrugated sheets must be removed before lifting the HATS and transporting it to its final destination.

Connection Systems:

The HATS units are secured to the foundation and to each other through specialized connection systems designed for both structural integrity and potential disassembly.

The connections between adjacent HATS units utilize pod corner castings equipped with twist-lock mechanisms that allow the units to be mechanically joined without welding. It should be carefully dismantled. Additionally, all corners and adjacent HATS are also welded for increase stability.

Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Systems:

The HATS facility is served by comprehensive building systems that must be safely disconnected prior to structural dismantling. The electrical infrastructure includes all power distribution systems associated with the Demark room, which serves as the main electrical distribution point for the facility. Each HATS unit receives electrical service through this centralized system, providing power for lighting, outlets, and appliances. The plumbing systems include both water supply and drainage networks that serve all residential units, providing potable water delivery and wastewater removal. Security and communication infrastructure includes an extensive as well as data and telephone communication networks that connect all units. The HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system includes individual split pack A/C units with outdoor attached to the HATS on its back site.

These A/C units will go with the HATS to its final destination. The plumbing systems are to be flushed completely before transportation.

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 4 of 25

Site Layout:

The HATS facility occupies a defined footprint within the Peshawar Consulate compound with specific dimensional constraints and relationships to adjacent facilities. The overall building footprint measures approximately 19.636 meters in one direction by 18.704 meters in the perpendicular direction, creating a substantial rectangular facility. Security and safety regulations require a 3-meter setback distance from existing structures, which must be maintained during demolition operations to ensure adequate clearance for equipment and materials handling. The HATS facility is positioned in proximity to several other critical infrastructure elements including an existing backup generator installation, a water storage tank, and a fire pump station. The site also contains an existing underground diesel fuel storage tank with associated pipeline infrastructure that supplies fuel to the generator. These adjacent facilities must be protected during all demolition and removal operations, requiring careful planning of equipment access routes and material staging areas. Refer to details in Tab-5.

Contractor Responsibilities:

The contractor assumes comprehensive responsibility for all aspects of the HATS demolition, removal, and transportation phases of the project, from initial planning through final delivery to ELSO at the port of Antwerp via the port of Karachi. This includes providing complete project management, technical expertise, labor force, specialized equipment, and logistical coordination including getting approval from local authorities for using crane, flatbed trucks and other commercial vehicles necessary to execute the work safely and professionally. The contractor must demonstrate proven capability in heavy industrial dismantling, structural steel removal, modular building relocation, and long-distance transportation and shipping of oversized loads. All work must be performed in accordance with applicable safety regulations, quality standards, and project specifications while maintaining the security and operational integrity of the active U.S. Consulate facility.

General Requirements:

The contractor must mobilize and maintain a complete suite of equipment and resources throughout the project duration. This includes all necessary manpower with appropriate skill levels and certifications for specialized tasks such as crane

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 5 of 25 operation, rigging, welding, cutting, and structural dismantling. Heavy equipment requirements include mobile cranes with sufficient capacity to safely lift the 13-ton HATS units, forklifts for material handling, rigging equipment including slings, shackles, and spreader bars rated for the loads involved, flatbed trailers capable of transporting the HATS units, and various hand and power tools for disassembly operations. The contractor must ensure that all workers receive proper training specific to their assigned tasks and that this training is documented and verified.

Compliance with applicable safety procedures and regulations is mandatory, with particular emphasis on fall protection, crane operations, and work in elevated locations. All temporary electrical installations and portable electric tools must be protected by ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) to prevent electrical shock hazards in the construction environment.

Phased Work Plan:

The project is structured as a sequential five-phase operation with details mentioned in Tab-1 that progresses from peripheral systems removal through structural dismantling to final HATS unit extraction and transportation. This phased approach allows for systematic inventory control, quality verification at each stage, and efficient coordination of equipment and personnel resources.

Pre-Work Activities:

Before the contractor begins any physical work on site, several critical preparatory activities must be completed to ensure smooth project execution and proper accountability for all materials and equipment. The U.S. Consulate Facility Management (FAC) department will conduct an onsite review before assigning the removal of all items that fall under the administrative domains of the General Services Office (GSO), Regional Security Office (RSO), Health Unit (HU), and Diplomatic Technology (DT). This includes furniture, equipment, supplies, and materials that are U.S. Government property but not integral to the HATS structures and operations themselves. The inventory management for these USG-removed items will be handled entirely by U.S. Government personnel, and the contractor has no responsibility for these materials. However, the contractor bears full responsibility for creating and maintaining a detailed inventory of all items that are integral to the HATS units themselves. For each of the thirty residential HATS units, the contractor must document and account for specific furnishings that were

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 6 of 25 provided as part of the original HATS package. The list of furnishings is annexed in TAB-3 of this SOW. The contractor must prepare comprehensive Activity Hazard Analyses (AHA) that identify all potential safety risks associated with each phase of work and document the specific control measures that will be implemented to mitigate these risks. Additionally, a complete Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) must be developed and submitted to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for review and approval at least ten working days prior to commencing any on-site activities. Refer to Tab-1 for details on sequencing.

Phase I: Removal of T-Walls, Parking Shed Central Roof Demolition – Level 2:

The first phase of work focuses on two parallel activities: removing perimeter security barriers and commencing the dismantling of the central roof structure at Level 2. The RCC T-walls, which are large concrete security barriers positioned around the facility perimeter, must be carefully lifted and removed using appropriately sized cranes with sufficient reach and capacity. Once the T-walls are relocated, the contractor gains improved access to the HATS facility for subsequent demolition operations and equipment positioning. Simultaneously with RCC T-wall removal, the roof of the HATS is filled with sandbags and covered with corrugated sheets. Workers must remove these sandbags and corrugated sheets before they dismantle the roof structure covering the Level 2 HATS units. The contractor shall commence dismantling of the roof structure covering the Level 2 HATS units. This critical activity involves systematic removal of multiple roofing system components in a carefully planned sequence to ensure safety and preserve materials for potential reuse. The primary weather protection layer consisting of corrugated serpentine galvanized metal roofing panels must be carefully removed to avoid bending, creasing, or damaging the corrugated profile. Each panel should be unfastened from its attachment points and carefully lowered to ground level or directly loaded onto trucks. The roof overhang structures that extend beyond the HATS units to protect the walkways must be dismantled as part of this roofing removal process. All roof drainage infrastructure including channels and gutters with 5-inch diameter (125mm) that collect roof runoff must be removed, along with all downspouts with 4-inch diameter (100mm) that convey water to ground level. The downspout locations shown on the roof plan must be carefully documented before removal to facilitate potential reinstallation. The structural metal deck consisting of 38mm deep (18-gauge thickness) galvanized steel deck panels must be detached from the

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 7 of 25 supporting steel beams. This requires cutting or grinding the puddle welds and tack spot welds that secure the deck to the beam top flanges. Each deck panel must be carefully handled to prevent distortion that would make reinstallation difficult. The lightest structural members, primarily W6x20 beams used for roof support, must be disconnected from their connections to columns and other beams. Where bolted connections exist, bolts must be removed and preserved. Where welded connections exist, these must be cut using appropriate methods such as oxy-fuel cutting, plasma cutting, or mechanical cutting, all performed in accordance with AWS D1.1 welding standards to ensure clean cuts that don't compromise the steel members. Following T-wall removal and concurrent with roof demolition activities, the contractor shall disconnect all building systems that serve the HATS facility. The split packs including all condenser units positioned on outer side of HATS must be properly shut down, refrigerant recovered according to environmental regulations, and units disconnected from electrical power and refrigerant lines. The electrical systems encompass all power distribution equipment associated with the Demark room, lighting circuits, receptacle circuits, and emergency power connections that serve the HATS units. Fire Safety Systems (FSS) include fire extinguishers, fire suppression equipment, and related safety devices. Smoke detectors throughout the facility must be removed and inventoried. Throughout this phase, the contractor must maintain meticulous inventory records documenting each item removed, its condition, and its original location. All removed materials must be properly secured in designated staging areas to prevent loss, damage, or unauthorized access. Any welding or cutting operations required during this phase must not commence until the contractor has obtained the necessary hot work permit from APOSHO, ensuring that fire prevention measures are in place and that hot work is conducted safely.

containers (20-foot or 40-foot standard containers) for eventual transport to the Port of Karachi. In addition to it the roof of the HATS is filled with sandbags and covered with corrugated sheets. These sandbags and corrugated sheets must be removed before lifting the HATS and transporting it to their final destination. These materials are not required to be stored or shipped and shall be disposed of by the contractor.

Refer to Tab-1 for details on sequencing.

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 8 of 25

Phase II: Removal of Hard Elements/HATS at level 2:

The second phase involves systematic dismantling and removal of all HATS units positioned at Level 2 (second floor elevation at 2.787 meters). This is one of the most critical phases due to the substantial weight of each unit (approximately 13 tons) and the severe space constraints at the Peshawar Consulate site. Keeping in view the weight of each HATS, its current position, and setting up the crane on adjacent Hospital Road, a crane with 80-100 tons capacity is recommended to be used. However, it is solely the prerogative of the contractor to assess the equipment deemed appropriate for this project. Before any HATS units can be lifted and removed, all connections securing it to adjacent units and to the supporting structure must be carefully disconnected. The twist-lock mechanisms that secure HATS units at their corner castings must be carefully operated to release each unit from its neighbors. These specialized connectors allow the units to be mechanically joined without welding and must be operated according to manufacturer procedures to avoid damage. The silicone seals at pod-to-pod connections that provide weather-tightness must be cut or removed to allow separation of adjacent units. The bottom of HATS at level 2 are welded by the horizontal steel member connecting it with roof of level 1 HATS. Any remaining electrical, plumbing, or HVAC connections serving individual HATS units must be properly capped or terminated. The contractor must verify that all inventoried furniture and equipment items (metal bed, under-bed storage cabinets, four-drawer cabinet, cupboard, study desk, emergency window opening tool, etc.) remain inside each unit and are properly secured to prevent shifting during lifting and transport. Due to severe space constraints at the Peshawar Consulate site, HATS units removed from Level 2 shall be immediately loaded onto flatbed trucks rather than staged on the ground. This approach minimizes the site footprint required, reduces the number of times each heavy unit must be handled, and accelerates the overall project schedule. Before lifting operations commence, an appropriate flatbed truck with sufficient load capacity (minimum 15-ton capacity to accommodate the 13-ton HATS unit plus rigging equipment) must be positioned adjacent to the crane setup location. The truck deck must be level, clean, and free of protruding objects that could damage the HATS unit. Each HATS unit must be rigged using appropriate lifting equipment including properly rated slings (minimum 4:1 safety factor), shackles, and spreader bars designed to distribute lifting forces to the corner castings of the unit. The rigging

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 9 of 25 configuration must be designed by a qualified person and must prevent twisting or tilting of the unit during the lift. Mobile cranes must be positioned on firm, level ground with outriggers properly extended to their full extension. The crane operator must consult the appropriate load chart for the specific boom length, radius, and load weight to verify that the lift is within the crane's rated capacity. Each HATS unit, measuring approximately 8 feet by 8 feet by 20 feet must be carefully lifted from its Level 2 position, raised clear of all obstructions, and maneuvered to a position directly over the waiting flatbed truck. The HATS unit must be carefully lowered onto the truck deck, positioned centrally to maintain proper weight distribution, and set down gently to avoid impact damage. Wooden blocking or rubber pads should be placed between the unit and the truck deck to prevent metal-to-metal contact and to provide load distribution. Once positioned on the flatbed, the HATS unit must be secured using appropriate tie-down systems including chains, binders, and edge protection to prevent shifting during the approximately 1,200-mile journey from Peshawar to Karachi. The tie-down system must comply with Pakistani transportation safety regulations and international shipping standards. Edge protection must be used wherever chains or straps contact the HATS unit to prevent damage to the exterior surfaces or compromise of the ballistic-resistant envelope.

Before the truck departs, the contractor must document the HATS unit number or identifier, photograph the unit's condition and its secured position on the truck, update the inventory records, and provide the truck driver with appropriate shipping documentation. The loaded truck may then depart for the Port of Karachi, while the next flatbed truck is positioned for the subsequent HATS unit removal. This immediate load-and-ship approach requires careful logistics coordination to ensure that sufficient flatbed trucks are available in sequence to maintain continuous progress without delays waiting for transportation. The contractor must schedule truck arrivals to coincide with HATS unit removal operations, accounting for the time required to rig, lift, position, and secure each unit (estimated at 2-4 hours per unit depending on crane efficiency and site conditions). The contractor must develop a detailed removal sequence that addresses the structural stability of the remaining HATS units as individual units are removed. Generally, removal should proceed from the ends or corners of the array toward the center, or in a pattern that maintains balanced loading on the supporting structure. Temporary bracing may be required to stabilize remaining units if the removal sequence creates unstable configurations.

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 10 of 25

The contractor bears full responsibility for determining the safest and most efficient removal sequence and for implementing any necessary temporary support measures.

Throughout Phase II, the contractor must maintain continuous coordination with the COR, providing advance notice of each day's planned lifting operations and obtaining approval before proceeding. Daily safety briefings must be conducted with all personnel involved in the lifting operations, emphasizing the critical importance of proper rigging, clear communication, and maintaining exclusion zones around the crane and suspended loads. All HATS units from Level 2 must be successfully removed and transported before Phase III can commence. Contractor to also temporarily closes all penetrations made during the operation. Refer to Tab- 1 for details on sequencing.

Phase III: Platform and Walkway Removal at Level 2:

The third phase focuses on removing all horizontal circulation and access elements at Level 2, now that the HATS units that these elements served have been removed.

This phase involves dismantling the extensive network of elevated walkways, platforms, and associated safety systems. The Level 2 access system consists of an extensive network of elevated walkways constructed from industrial-grade metal bar grating. The walkway surfaces are constructed from 25mm × 5mm galvanized steel grating that provides slip-resistant walking surfaces while allowing drainage and visibility to the level below. The structural steel beams supporting these walkways have their top flanges positioned at elevation 2.762 meters, with the grating surface itself at 2.787 meters, creating a 25mm bearing depth. Each grating panel must be carefully removed by identifying and removing the fasteners (clips, bolts, or welds) that secure the grating to the supporting steel beams, then lifting each panel clear of its supporting beams using appropriate equipment (crane, forklift, or manual handling depending on panel size and weight. All metal guardrails and handrails that provided fall protection along walkway edges and stairways must be systematically removed. These safety barriers are typically constructed from steel pipe or tube sections welded or bolted to vertical posts that are anchored to the walkway structure or to the building columns. All staircase railing and associated steel structure/ platform shall be disposed at contractors' discretion. The staircase systems that connect Level 1 to Level 2 require careful dismantling to preserve their structural integrity for potential reinstallation. According to the architectural drawings, the typical staircase features 15 risers connecting the two levels. Each

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 11 of 25 staircase consists of structural channels (C10x15.3 or C12x20.7 sections) that provide the primary support for the stair treads, individual metal treads that form the walking surface, handrails and guardrails providing safety barriers along the open sides of the staircase, and connection hardware including bolts, plates, and brackets that connect the staircase to the Level 1 and Level 2 structures. The dismantling sequence should proceed from top to bottom, first removing handrails and guardrails to provide access, then removing individual stair treads working from top to bottom, disconnecting the stringer connections at Level 2, disconnecting the stringer connections at Level 1, and finally lowering the stringer assemblies to ground level using crane or other appropriate equipment. Any intermediate platforms or landings that are part of the Level 2 circulation system must be dismantled following the same general approach as the walkways by removing decking or grating, removing guardrails, removing supporting beams, and organizing all components for smooth disposal by the contractor.

Phase IV: Removal of HATS Units and Support Containers at Level 1:

The fourth phase involves the systematic dismantling and removal of all HATS units positioned at Level 1 (ground level with finished floor elevation of 0.168 meters above the reference datum). With the Level 2 HATS units, walkways, and platforms now removed, the contractor has improved access and working clearance for removing the Level 1 units. Like the Level 2 HATS removal process, each Level 1 unit must be properly prepared before lifting. At the foundation level, the base plate connections must be disconnected by removing anchor bolts or cutting welded connections as appropriate. Each HATS unit rests on the concrete slab foundation (positioned at elevation -0.118 meters below the reference datum) through base plates that are anchored with bolts embedded in the concrete or welded to embedded plates. The twist-lock mechanisms at the corner castings must be operated to release each unit from its neighbors in the Level 1 array. Weather seals between adjacent units must be cut to allow separation. The contractor must confirm that all electrical, plumbing, and mechanical connections have been properly disconnected and capped, and must verify that all inventory furniture and equipment remain secure inside each unit. The same immediate load-and-ship approach used for Level 2 units shall be employed for Level 1 units. Flatbed trucks with appropriate capacity must be positioned sequentially, and each HATS unit must be rigged, lifted by mobile crane, positioned on the truck deck, and secured for transport to the Port of Karachi.

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 12 of 25

The lifting operations for Level 1 units may be somewhat simpler than Level 2 due to the lower lift height and improved access, but the same rigorous safety procedures and quality standards must be maintained. The contractor must continue to coordinate flatbed truck arrivals to maintain continuous progress, document each unit's removal with photographs and inventory updates, and ensure that all units are properly secured for the long-distance transport. All HATS units from Level 1 must be successfully removed and transported before Phase V can commence.

Contractor to also remove the two support containers in this phase. Refer to Tab-1 for sequencing details.

Phase V: Removal of Structural Columns and Stair Platforms:

The fifth and final phase involves the dismantling of the primary structural steel framework that supported the entire HATS facility. With all HATS units, walkways, platforms, and stairs now removed, only the structural skeleton remains. The supporting beam system must be systematically dismantled, generally working from top to bottom and from the perimeter toward the center to maintain structural stability throughout the removal process. The structural steel framework consists of several distinct types of members including W6x20 beams which are the lightest structural members primarily used for roof support, W10x19 beams providing intermediate-duty framing for portions of the Level 2 floor system, W10x26 beams which are the primary heavy-duty structural members that carried the greatest loads, and bracing members including diagonal braces and cross-bracing that provided lateral stability. Each beam must be disconnected from its connections by removing bolts from bolted connections and preserving all connection hardware, cutting welded connections using oxy-fuel cutting, plasma cutting, or mechanical cutting methods in accordance with AWS D1.1 standards, supporting the beam with crane or other equipment before making the final connection cut to prevent uncontrolled falling, lowering the beam to ground level in a controlled manner, and organizing beams by type and size, bundling them securely, and loading them onto appropriate transportation vehicles. The primary vertical support system consists of hollow structural steel (HSS) columns with dimensions of 6 inches by 6 inches by 1/2-inch wall thickness (152mm × 152mm × 12.7mm wall). These columns extend from the foundation level to the roof level and must be carefully removed to avoid damage by first removing or cutting the connections between each column and the roof-level

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 13 of 25 beams it supports, then removing or cutting any connections to Level 2 beams or bracing members, removing anchor bolts or cutting welds connecting the column base plate to the foundation, and using crane or other appropriate equipment to carefully lower each column to ground level in a controlled manner before bundling columns together, securing them to prevent rolling or shifting, and loading them onto flatbed trucks for transport. Any remaining stair platform structures, including intermediate landings, platform framing, and associated support columns, must be dismantled following the same systematic approach where platform decking or grating is removed first, followed by the supporting beams and finally the columns or posts that support the platform structure. After all, above-grade structural steel has been removed, any remaining foundation-level components such as base plates, anchor bolts, grout pads, or shims must be removed or cut/flush with the concrete surface. The contractor must coordinate with the COR to determine whether base plates should be removed entirely (requiring cutting of anchor bolts below the concrete surface) or whether cutting the anchor bolts flush with the concrete surface is acceptable. Upon completion of all structural steel removal, the contractor must perform comprehensive site cleanup where all scrap metal, cut-off pieces, welding slag, packaging materials, and construction debris must be collected and properly disposed of in accordance with local regulations. The concrete foundation slab must be swept or pressure-washed to remove dirt, oil, metal shavings, and other contaminants. Any anchor bolts cut flush with the concrete surface should be smooth to prevent tripping hazards. All contractor equipment, tools, temporary facilities, and materials must be removed from the site. Any areas disturbed by crane setup, material staging, or equipment access must be restored to their original condition, including re-grading, compacting, and resurfacing as necessary. The contractor must coordinate with the COR for a final walkthrough inspection to verify that all work has been completed satisfactorily and that the site has been properly cleaned and restored. Before demobilizing from the site, the contractor must provide the COR with complete project documentation including final inventory of all removed materials with current location or container assignments, photographic documentation showing before, during, and after conditions, copies of all shipping documents and bills of lading, confirmation that all materials have been delivered to the Port of Karachi, any as-built information documenting changes from the original drawings, and final safety reports including training records and incident reports if

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 14 of 25 any. Only after receiving written final acceptance from the COR confirming satisfactory completion of all work and all materials have arrived at the Port of Antwerp may the contractor submit the final invoice and request final payment. This revised phased approach provides a logical, safe, and efficient sequence for completely dismantling and removing the HATS facility while addressing the critical space constraints at the Peshawar Consulate site through the immediate load-and-ship strategy for the heavy HATS units.

Transportation Requirements:

Upon completion of dismantling operations, the contractor must transport the entire inventory of materials and equipment from the Peshawar Consulate to the Port of Karachi, approximately 1,200 miles requiring careful logistics planning and execution. The transportation scope encompasses all thirty HATS units, each weighing approximately 13 tons, and the two support containers requiring individual flatbed trailer transport due to their size and weight. Additionally, all inventory items from within the HATS units, including furniture and equipment must be carefully packaged, secured inside each HATS, and transported. The handling requirements for this transportation operation are stringent, as all materials must be managed in a manner that prevents damage during loading, transit, and unloading operations.

Appropriate flatbed trailers with sufficient load capacity and deck dimensions must be used for the HATS units, with proper tie-down systems to prevent shifting during transport over potentially rough road conditions. Shipping containers, either 20-foot or 40-foot standard sizes, must be used for all components that do not fit within their companion HATS, with materials properly blocked and braced inside the containers to prevent movement. All loads must be secured in accordance with Pakistani transportation safety regulations and international shipping standards. The contractor must coordinate the logistics of this major transportation effort with local authorities, including obtaining any necessary permits for oversized loads, crane, commercial trucks, planning routes that can accommodate the large vehicles, scheduling the movement of multiple truckloads over the project duration, and ensuring adequate security for valuable materials during the multi-day journey from Peshawar to Port of Karachi.

Site Conditions and Protection:

Throughout all phases of the project, the contractor bears comprehensive responsibility for protecting people, property, and materials from damage or loss.

This includes ensuring the safety of all contractor personnel through proper training, supervision, and enforcement of safety procedures. The contractor must protect all equipment including cranes, trucks, tools, and rigging gear from damage due to improper use, adverse weather, or site conditions. Property protection extends to the HATS units themselves, which must be handled carefully to avoid dents, scratches, or structural damage that would compromise their future use. The

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 16 of 25 contractor must also protect the Peshawar Consulate facility itself, ensuring that demolition operations do not damage adjacent buildings, utilities, or infrastructure.

Housekeeping and debris removal must be maintained continuously throughout the work period, with daily cleanup of work areas to remove scrap materials, packaging waste, and construction debris. Upon completion of all removal operations, the site must be left in a clean and orderly condition, with all contractor materials, equipment, and waste removed from the premises. Special attention must be given to protecting adjacent critical facilities, including the existing backup generator installation, which must remain operational throughout the project to provide emergency power to the Consulate. The water storage tank and fire pump station (contain them in their support containers) must be protected from any damage and must remain fully functional as they provide essential life safety services. The existing underground diesel fuel storage tank and its associated pipeline infrastructure present a significant hazard that must be carefully avoided during all excavation, equipment operation, and material handling activities. Any damage to this fuel system could result in environmental contamination and fire hazards. The contractor must carefully plan all equipment, access routes and material staging areas to maintain safe clearances from these sensitive facilities while still allowing efficient execution of the removal operations.

Safety Requirements:

Safety is the paramount concern throughout this project due to the inherently hazardous nature of structural demolition, work at heights, heavy lifting operations, and the active operational environment of a US diplomatic facility. The contractor must implement a comprehensive safety management system that identifies all hazards, implements appropriate controls, trains all personnel, and maintains continuous oversight to prevent accidents and injuries.

General Safety Compliance:

The contractor must comply with multiple regulatory frameworks that establish minimum safety standards for construction and demolition operations. The U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Manual EM-385 provide comprehensive requirements specifically applicable to this project, with particular emphasis on Chapter 21 addressing Fall Protection and Chapter 22 covering Work Platforms and Scaffolding. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 17 of 25

(OSHA) regulations provide additional requirements, specifically the Scaffold General Requirements found in 29 CFR 1926.451 and the Aerial Lifts standards in 29 CFR 1926.453. Where the EM 385-1-1 manual does not provide specific guidance for a particular activity, the contractor must comply with OSHA standards found in either 29 CFR Part 1910 (general industry standards) or 29 CFR Part 1926 (construction standards) as applicable to the work being performed. The contractor assumes sole responsibility for conducting comprehensive risk assessments that identify all potential hazards associated with each work activity and for implementing appropriate control measures to eliminate or mitigate these hazards to acceptable levels. The contractor must manage all health and safety issues throughout the project, including conducting daily safety briefings, performing regular safety inspections, investigating any incidents or near-misses, and taking immediate corrective action when unsafe conditions or behaviors are observed. The contractor must ensure that work is conducted in a manner that protects not only contractor employees but also U.S. Consulate employees, visitors, and any other persons who may be present in or near the work areas. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all hazardous materials used on the project must be maintained in easily accessible locations at the work site, and all personnel who may be exposed to these materials must be trained in their safe handling and emergency response procedures.

The contractor must comply with all applicable Pakistani labor laws pertaining to workplace safety, working hours, and worker welfare, ensuring that local legal requirements are met in addition to U.S. Government safety standards.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Based on the hazard assessments conducted for this project, the contractor must provide each affected employee with appropriate personal protective equipment that will protect them from the specific hazards they may encounter. The minimum PPE requirements, which must be provided at the contractor's expense with no reimbursement from the Government, include coveralls or work clothing that protects the body from cuts, abrasions, and weather exposure. Eye protection in the form of safety glasses with side shields must be always worn in work areas, with additional face shields required when grinding, cutting, or performing other operations that generate flying particles. Hand protection through appropriate work gloves must be provided, with the glove type selected based on the specific hazards of each task (cut-resistant gloves for handling sharp materials, insulated gloves for

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 18 of 25 electrical work, etc.). For any work performed at elevations above 1.8 meters, full body harnesses meeting ANSI standards must be provided and worn, with appropriate attachment points and fall arrest systems in place. Safety ropes and lanyards must be provided as components of the fall protection system. Hard hats meeting ANSI Z89.1 standards must be worn by all personnel in areas where overhead hazards exist, which includes essentially all areas where demolition and material handling operations are underway. Safety shoes with steel toes and puncture-resistant soles must be worn by all personnel, with sandals and athletic shoes explicitly prohibited due to their inadequate protection. Hearing protection in the form of earplugs or earmuffs must be provided and worn in areas where noise levels exceed 85 decibels, which is common during cutting, grinding, and equipment operation. Dust masks or respirators are recommended and may be required when demolition activities generate airborne particulates or when working with materials that present inhalation hazards. The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) retains authority to require additional PPE or safety procedures if site conditions or work activities present hazards that were not initially anticipated, and the contractor must comply promptly with any such directives. Workers must be trained in the proper use, maintenance, and limitations of all PPE provided, and supervisors must enforce PPE requirements consistently throughout the project.

High Risk Activities:

This project involves numerous activities that are classified as high risk due to their potential to cause serious injury or death if not properly controlled. For each high-risk activity, the contractor must develop specific safety procedures that comply with the relevant sections of EM 385-1-1 and must obtain written approval from the COR before commencing that activity. Scaffolding operations, if required for access to elevated work areas, must comply with all requirements for scaffold design, erection, inspection, and use, with competent person oversight mandatory. Work at heights above 1.8 meters is pervasive throughout this project and requires comprehensive fall protection systems including guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems as appropriate for each specific location and task. Every worker exposed to fall hazards must wear a properly fitted full body harness connected to an adequate anchor point through an appropriate lanyard or lifeline. Trenching or excavation operations, if required for utility disconnection or other purposes, must include proper sloping, shoring, or shielding when excavation depth exceeds one meter, with

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 19 of 25 competent person daily inspections mandatory. Earth-moving equipment and other large vehicles including cranes, forklifts, and trucks present struck-by and crushing hazards that must be controlled through designated traffic routes, spotters for backing operations, and exclusion zones around operating equipment. Cranes and rigging operations are central to this project and must be conducted in accordance with ASME B30.5 and other applicable standards, with only qualified crane operators and riggers permitted to perform these critical tasks. All lifting equipment including slings, shackles, hooks, and spreader bars must be inspected before each use and must have current load test certifications. Welding, cutting, and other hot work operations present fire and explosion hazards and must not commence until a hot work permit has been obtained from APOSHO, with fire watch personnel, fire extinguishers, and combustible material removal all required. The partial demolition of the HATS facility structure must be carefully planned and executed to prevent uncontrolled collapse, with temporary bracing installed as needed to maintain stability during sequential member removal. Temporary electrical wiring and the use of portable electric tools present electrocution hazards that must be controlled through the mandatory use of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) in all affected circuits, with GFCI devices tested daily before use. Work in confined spaces, if required for utility disconnection or other purposes, must include atmospheric testing, ventilation, entry permits, and attendant/rescue provisions due to the potential for oxygen deficiency, toxic atmospheres, or engulfment hazards.

Hazardous materials including paints, solvents, adhesives, and dust from demolition activities must be properly identified, handled according to MSDS requirements, and disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations. Hazardous noise levels are anticipated during cutting, grinding, and equipment operation, requiring hearing protection for all exposed personnel and potentially requiring engineering controls such as sound barriers or equipment modifications if noise levels exceed permissible exposure limits defined in EM 385-1 Section 5B or local standards if more restrictive.

Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP):

The contractor must develop and submit a comprehensive Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) that addresses all aspects of safety management for this project. This plan must be submitted to the COR at least ten working days prior to commencing any on-site activities, allowing adequate time for Government review, comment, and

TAB 4 – HATS UNCLASSIFIED Page 20 of 25 approval. Work may not begin until the SSHP has been formally accepted by the COR. The SSHP must address all high-risk activities identified in the previous section and must describe the specific control measures that will be implemented for each hazard. The plan must identify the contractor's safety organization including the names and qualifications of the project safety officer, competent persons for specific activities, and the chain of command for safety decision-making. The SSHP must include procedures for conducting Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs) for specific tasks as work progresses. Each AHA must clearly define the work activity being performed, break down the work into individual steps or sequences, identify the specific hazards associated with each step, describe the site conditions and environmental factors that may affect safety, list the equipment and materials that will be used, and detail the control measures that will be implemented to eliminate each hazard or reduce it to an acceptable level of risk. The AHA process must be dynamic, with new AHAs developed as work progresses into new areas or activities, and existing AHAs revised when site conditions change or when the initial control measures prove inadequate.
