http://www.up.com/cs/groups/public/documents/document/pdf_rr_grade_sep_projects.pdf

SECTION 01 00 50 – PAGE 4

Prior to start of construction, the Contractor shall submit shop drawings and other such information to the COR for review and approval.

1.8.4. Staging Areas

One staging area has been secured by the Corps of Engineers for construction of this project.

1) The Staging Area is located at the egress/ingress of the project adjacent to the UPRR tracks and extends south between STA 43+50 and STA 50+00 of the fence alignment. See Drawing C-1.01 in Appendix I for location of the staging area. Upon approval by the COR, the vegetation in the staging area can be removed as needed by the Contractor. If initial clearing and grubbing of the staging area occurs during migratory bird nesting season (i.e. February 1 – September 1), the Government’s Environmental Monitor will conduct a survey for migratory bird nests prior to use of the staging area.

The Contractor shall be responsible for repairing any damage to the staging area due to construction activities upon completion of construction at no additional cost to the government.

1.8.5. Access

The ingress/egress for the project is via State Highway 498 (Anapra Road) at the Staging Area.

The Contractor shall be responsible for repairing any damage to the access routes due to construction activities upon completion of construction at no additional cost to the government.

1.8.6. Existing Site Conditions

The primary fence alignment connects to the east end of the existing mesh fence and continues east parallel to the International Border for approximately 6950-LF terminating at the base of Mount Cristo Rey. From STA 9+00 to STA 52+00 the terrain consists of sandy/silt soil with little vegetation. Portions of the border road are elevated above the adjacent land to the north. In addition, trash, debris, and soil has built up on the Mexican side of the existing fence causing portions of the Mexican terrain to be higher than the U.S.

Between STA 52+00 to STA 70+00 the primary fence alignment is in close proximity to the UPRR tracks being approximately 35-ft away at the nearest location. The terrain consists of sandy/silt soil with some railroad ballast along the border road. This area has portions of the border road both above and below the Mexican terrain.

The eastern portion of the fence alignment between STA 70+00 to the end is bordered to the north by the UPRR track embankment and to the east by Mount Cristo Rey. This area is known as “the bowl” because a large wash drains into this area causing flooding in both the U.S. and Mexico. A 42” culvert through the UPRR track embankment is the only drainage outlet in the area.

No known utilities are located along most of the fence alignment. There are utilities located within the UPRR ROW, and the contractor will need to coordinate with the railroad to determine the location of these utilities. The Contractor shall be required to have all existing utilities and obstructions located prior to start of construction. Any utility or obstruction conflicts that interfere with construction, that are not otherwise denoted on the plans, shall be brought to the attention of the COR prior to continuing with construction in the vicinity of the conflict. The COR reserves the right to resolve any such conflicts prior to commencing construction in the vicinity of the conflict.

FOR CONTRACTOR INFORMATION: A sanitary sewer line is located in Mexico running parallel to the border from approximately STA 51+50 to STA 70+00. Manholes are located along this portion of the sanitary sewer line. On occasion the sewer line surcharges and spills sewage from the manholes. This sewage flows along the drainage swale in Mexico and crosses into the

SECTION 01 00 50 – PAGE 5

U.S. around STA 74+00. If sewage from Mexico begins to flow into the U.S. during construction, the Contractor shall notify the COR immediately for further direction.

All existing structures within the project site not designated for removal within the project plans shall be protected in place.

1.8.7. Geotechnical Investigation

The Geotechnical Report for the project site has been provided in Appendix III. Any additional Geotechnical information required by the Contractor shall be obtained by the Contractor following award of the bid.

1.8.8. Traffic Control

The Contractor shall comply with all local traffic control codes including coordinating Border Patrol access through the site.

1.8.9. Existing Utility Coordination

Prior to start of construction the Contractor shall have all known public and private utilities clearly marked by the local utility companies and UPRR.

All existing utilities shall be protected in place unless otherwise denoted in the plans.

1.8.10. Erosion and Sediment Control Measures

The Contractor shall ensure that Best Management Practices (BMPs) are in place prior to and during construction of the fence. The Contractor is responsible to ensure that Erosion and Sediment Control measures comply with Federal, State, and local regulations.

The Contractor shall provide one SWPPP Report and plans for construction of the base bid and option items. Prior to start of construction the Contractor shall obtain a Notice of Intent and complete the Notice of Ending upon completion.

The COR reserves the right to require the Contractor to modify or revise the SWPPP to insure that all current measures to prevent offsite migration of pollutants, including soils, are included in the SWPPP, if the SWPPP does not adequately address applicable BMPs or if the Contracting Officer determines that the storm water pollution prevention requirements are not being met.

1.8.11. Construction Guidelines

The Contractor shall take great care not to disturb any existing fence that is to remain. If the existing fence is disturbed, it shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to repair the fence so to restore it to previously existing conditions. Should it be necessary to disturb the foundation of the existing fence, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing all bracing or means of temporary shoring so to protect the existing fence in-place.

Throughout construction, the Contractor shall ensure all materials, equipment, vehicles, personnel and any other construction related items and/or activities be contained within project easements, US-IBWC property, or established staging areas.

1.9 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

The Contractor shall implement all BMP as outlined in this section along with all other BMP required per provisions of this Request for Proposal. All BMP shall be incorporated into the Contractor’s Environmental Protection Plan and the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

SECTION 01 00 50 – PAGE 6

1.9.1. GEOLOGY AND SOIL RESOURCES

Silt fencing and floating silt curtains should be installed and maintained to prevent movement of soil and sediment and to minimize turbidity increases in water.

Obtain materials such as gravel, topsoil, or fill from sources that are compatible with the project area and are from legally permitted sites. Do not use materials from undisturbed areas adjacent to the project area.

Once construction activities are completed, active measures will be implemented to rehabilitate the staging areas. For successful rehabilitation, all or some of the following measures may be conducted:

• Site preparation through ripping and disking to loosen compacted soils

• Hydromulch with native grasses and forbs in order to control soil erosion and ensure adequate revegetation

• Temporary irrigation (i.e., truck watering) for vegetation

• Periodic monitoring to determine if additional actions are necessary to successfully rehabilitate disturbed areas

1.9.2. VEGETATION

Herbicide and pesticide applications must be made under the supervision of a licensed applicator.

A log of the chemical used, amount used, and specific location must be maintained.

If mechanical methods are used to remove invasive plants, the entire plant should be removed and placed in a disposal area. If herbicides are used, the plants will be left in place. All chemical applications on federally managed land must be used in coordination with the Federal land manager.

A fire prevention and suppression plan will be developed and implemented for all maintenance and repair activities that require welding or otherwise have a risk of starting a wildfire.

Identify fill material, sandbags, hay bales, and mulch brought in from outside the project area by its source location. Use sources that are sterile or weed-free.

Clearly demarcate the perimeter of all new areas to be disturbed using flagging or temporary construction fencing. Do not allow any disturbance outside that perimeter. Riparian vegetation should be protected during maintenance activities.

Avoid the removal of mature trees providing shade or bank stabilization within the riparian area of any waterway during maintenance or repair activities.

If vegetation must be removed, allow natural regeneration of native plants by cutting vegetation with hand tools, mowing, trimming, or using other removal methods that allow root systems to remain intact to prevent disturbance that encourages establishment of invasive plant species. In addition, all soils that are disturbed that will not otherwise be stabilized during maintenance activities shall be reseeded using species native to the project vicinity. This BMP does not apply to any nonnative, invasive vegetation control that might occur as part of the proposed action.

Vegetation targeted for retention will be flagged for avoidance to reduce the likelihood of being treated.

Clearing of riparian vegetation will not occur within 100 feet of aquatic habitats to provide a buffer area to protect the habitat from sedimentation.

1.9.3. WILDLIFE

SECTION 01 00 50 – PAGE 7

If hollow bollards are necessary (i.e., those that will be filled with a reinforcing material such as concrete), cover them to prevent wildlife from entrapment. Deploy covers (and ensure they remain fully functioning) when the posts or hollow bollards arrive on the site and are unloaded, until they are filled with reinforcing material.

Ensure temporary light poles and other pole-like structures used for construction activities have anti-perch devices to discourage roosting by birds.

Clearing of riparian vegetation will not occur within 100 feet of aquatic habitats to provide a buffer area to protect the habitat from sedimentation.

Minimize animal collisions during maintenance and repair activities by not exceeding speed limits of 35 miles per hour (mph) on major unpaved roads (i.e., graded with ditches on both sides) and 25 mph on all other unpaved roads. During periods of decreased visibility (e.g., night, poor weather, curves), do not exceed speeds of 25 mph.

Do not permit pets owned or under the care of the contractor or sector personnel inside the project boundaries, adjacent native habitats, or other associated work areas.

To prevent entrapment of wildlife species, ensure excavated, steep-walled holes or trenches are either completely covered by plywood or metal caps at the close of each work day or provided with one or more escape ramps (at no greater than 1,000-foot intervals and sloped less than 45 degrees) constructed of earth fill or wooden planks.

Each morning before the start of maintenance activities and before such holes or trenches are filled, ensure they are thoroughly inspected for trapped animals. Ensure that any animals discovered are allowed to escape voluntarily (by escape ramps or temporary structures), without harassment, before maintenance activities resume; or are removed from the trench or hole by a qualified person and allowed to escape unimpeded.

1.9.4. THREATENED AND ENDANGERED AND OTHER PROTECTED SPECIES

Coordinate with COR or environmental SME to determine which threatened and endangered species could occur in the vicinity of construction activities. In areas where there are no threatened and endangered or other species concerns, the personnel performing the maintenance activities are responsible for monitoring the implementation of general maintenance and repair BMPs to avoid impacts on the environment.

To protect individuals of listed species within the project area, suspend work in the immediate vicinity of the individual until it moves out of harm’s way on its own, or enlist a qualified specialist (individuals or agency personnel with a permit to handle the species) to relocate the animal to a nearby safe location in accordance with accepted species-handling protocols.

Check visible space underneath all vehicles and heavy equipment for listed species and other wildlife prior to moving vehicles and equipment at the beginning of each workday and after vehicles have idled for more than 15 minutes.

Coordinate with the COR or environmental SME to determine if the construction activities occur in a highly sensitive area or an area that poses an unacceptable risk of transmitting diseases and invasive species. If it is determined that maintenance activities occur in such an area, follow the governments recommended cleaning protocol for all equipment.

Do not use surface water from aquatic or marsh habitats for construction projects, if that site supports aquatic federally listed species or if it contains nonnative invasive species or disease vectors based on the best available information provided by USFWS.

SECTION 01 00 50 – PAGE 8

Do not use surface water from untreated sources, including water used for irrigation purposes, for construction projects located within one mile of aquatic habitat for federally listed aquatic species.

Groundwater or surface water from a treated municipal source will be used when within one mile of such habitats.

1.9.5. MIGRATORY BIRD BMPS

Initial mechanical and chemical vegetation clearing and subsequent mechanical vegetation control should be timed to avoid the migration, breeding, and nesting timeframe of migratory birds (February 1 through September 1). Herbicide retreatments could occur throughout the year. When initial mechanical and chemical vegetation control must be implemented during February 1 through September 1, a survey for nesting migratory birds will be conducted immediately prior to the start of activities. If an active nest is found, a buffer zone (91 meters [300 feet]) will be established around the nest and no activities will occur within that zone until nestlings have fledged and abandoned the nesting area.

A survey for migratory birds will also be conducted prior to all construction activities to be implemented during the nesting period in areas where migratory birds might be nesting.

If construction is scheduled during the migratory bird-nesting season, take steps to prevent migratory birds from establishing nests in the potential impact area. These steps could include covering equipment and structures, and use of various excluders (e.g., noise). Birds can be harassed to prevent them from nesting on the site. Once a nest is established, they cannot be harassed until all young have fledged and left the nest site. If nesting birds are found during the supplemental survey, defer intrusive maintenance activities until the birds have left the nest.

Confirmation that all young have fledged should be made by qualified personnel.

1.9.6. WATER RESOURCES

Prepare and implement a SWPPP as required by regulation prior to construction. Implement BMPs described in the SWPPP to reduce erosion. Consider areas with highly erodible soils when planning the construction activities and incorporate measures such as waddles, aggregate materials, and wetting compounds in the erosion control BMPs.

The COR or environmental SME will provide locations that have the potential for wetlands or other waters of the United States. If no current existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdictional determination is available, a delineation will be conducted and jurisdictional determination will be obtained from the USACE. Prior to conducting any activities that have the potential to affect wetlands and other waters of the United States, all Federal and state Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 individual or applicable nationwide permits and 401 and other applicable permits will be obtained.

Coordinate with the environmental SME to determine which maintenance activities occur within the 100-year floodplain. Maintenance activities within the 100-year floodplain will be conducted in a manner consistent with Executive Order (E.O.) 11988 and other applicable regulations.

All construction personnel will review the approved spill protection plan and implement it during maintenance and repair activities.

Wastewater from pressure washing must be collected. A ground pit or sump can be used to collect the wastewater. Wastewater from pressure washing must not be discharged into any surface water.

If soaps or detergents are used, the wastewater and solids must be pumped and cleaned out and disposed of in an approved facility. If no soaps or detergents are used, the wastewater must first be filtered or screened to remove solids before being allowed to flow off site. Detergents and cleaning solutions must not be sprayed over or discharged into surface waters.

SECTION 01 00 50 – PAGE 9

If the surrounding area has dense, herbaceous cover (primarily grasses) and there are no listed plant species or habitat for such, the wastewater (with or without detergent) could be discharged directly to the grassy area without collection or filtering as long as it is well dispersed and all the wastewater can percolate into the grass and soil. If wastewater runs off the grassy area, it must be filtered.

Prevent runoff from entering drainages or storm drains by placing fabric filters, sand bag enclosures, or other capture devices around the work area. Empty or clean out the capture device at the end of each day and properly dispose of the wastes.

Avoid contaminating natural aquatic and wetland systems with runoff by limiting all equipment maintenance, staging, laydown, and dispensing hazardous liquids (e.g., fuel and oil) to designated upland areas.

Avoid contamination of ground and surface waters by collecting concrete wash water in open containers and frequently disposing of it, or reuse it on site by application as a binder to riprap areas. Avoid contamination of ground and surface waters by storing any water that has been contaminated (e.g., with maintenance materials, oils, equipment residue) in closed containers on site until removed for disposal. In upland areas, storage tanks must be on- ground containers.

Avoid contamination of ground and surface waters by ensuring that water tankers that convey untreated surface water do not discard unused water where it has the potential to enter any aquatic or wetland habitat.

Cease work during heavy rains and do not resume work until conditions are suitable for the movement of equipment and materials.

Uncured concrete should not be allowed to enter the water.

Operate pressure-washing equipment according to manufacturer’s recommendations.

Except for emergency repairs required to protect human life, limit work within drainages to dry periods to reduce effects on downstream water quality.

Riprap should be placed on a layer of geotextile fabric to prevent underlying sediment from being washed out through the openings of the riprap.

Riprap should be keyed into the wash/streambed to ensure its stability and effectiveness.

1.9.7. NOISE

All Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements will be followed with respect to construction noise impacts. Ensure all motorized equipment possess properly working mufflers and are kept properly tuned to reduce backfires. Ensure all motorized generators will be in baffle boxes (a sound-resistant box that is placed over or around a generator), have an attached muffler, or use other noise abatement methods in accordance with industry standards. For activities involving heavy equipment, seasonal restrictions might be required to avoid impacts on threatened or endangered species in areas where these species or their potential habitat occur. See species-specific BMPs.

1.9.8. CULTURAL RESOURCES

If Native American human remains are discovered during construction, CBP will consult with culturally affiliated tribes and the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Officer regarding their

SECTION 01 00 50 – PAGE 10

management and disposition in compliance with Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

Obtain all pertinent training materials for cultural resources for the areas where maintenance and repair activities will occur. Prior to arrival on the work site, ensure key personnel are aware of the cultural resources potentially occurring in the project area and understand the proper BMPs to implement should cultural resources be encountered in the project area.

1.9.9. ROADWAYS AND TRAFFIC

Access construction sites using designated, existing roads. Do not allow any off-road vehicular travel outside those areas. Ensure all parking is in designated disturbed areas. For longer-term projects, mark designated travel corridors with easily observed removable or biodegradable markers.

All construction personnel will operate within the designed/approved construction corridor.

1.9.10. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

Where hazardous and regulated materials are handled, workers should collect and store all fuels, waste oils, and solvents in clearly labeled closed tanks and drums within a secondary containment system that consists of an impervious floor and bermed sidewalls capable of containing the volume of the largest container stored therein.

If construction activities will continue at night, direct shielded light only onto the area required for worker safety and productivity. Lights will not exceed 1.5-foot candles within the lit area.

Implement proper and routine maintenance of all vehicles and other equipment such that emissions are within the design standards of all maintenance equipment.

Minimize site disturbance and avoid attracting predators by promptly removing waste materials, wrappers, and debris from the site. Any waste that must remain on site more than 12 hours should be properly stored in closed containers until disposal.
