Appendix Q Page 9 construction reviewer (CCR) (see paragraph entitled "Compliance during Construction" below) and Dover AFB representatives. No construction shall begin until the plans have been reviewed, the Notice of Intent filed and the pre-construction meeting has occurred.

3.1.4 Compliance during Construction

The Contractor shall ensure permit compliance during the term of the permit. To ensure continued compliance, the Contractor shall have a licensed certified construction reviewer (CCR), as defined by the DNREC Sediment and Storm Water Regulations, Section 12.0, to perform weekly inspections as required by those same regulations.

3.1.5 CCR reports

3.1.5.1A copy of the completed CCR reports shall be provided to Dover AFB at the end of each month. Dover AFB, however, reserves the right to request these reports more frequently if problems persist or an issue of non-compliance SECTION 01 57 13 Page 1 Invitation for Bids, W912BU-08-B-0002, is observed.

3.1.5.2 Dover AFB CCR inspections - Dover AFB CCRs will perform an independent inspection at their discretion to ensure continued compliance with the submitted plan and contract requirements. A copy of the Dover AFB CCR reports can be obtained by the Contractor upon written request.

3.1.6 Changes

In-field Changes shall be submitted prior to implementation and shall be reviewed by all applicable entities in the Civil Engineer Squadron. Particularly, environmental compliance changes, i.e. changes to sediment and erosion control practices, will be reviewed by the environmental flight. These requested changes shall still comply with all applicable federal and state environmental regulations.

3.1.7 Non-compliance issues

3.1.7.1 Dover AFB Non-Compliance Issues

After non-compliance issues are identified on either the Contractor's internal CCR reports or a Dover AFB CCR report, the Contractor shall address the situation within the workweek (5 workdays). If long-term repairs are necessary, a continuance of 5 days may be granted. Repeated non-compliance or ignoring non-compliance issues will result in a deficiency notice issued through the Contracting Officer. Deficiency notices shall constitute a violation of environmental requirements and will result in less favorable reviews pertaining to environmental compliance on subsequent projects at Dover AFB.

Continued deficiency notices will result in work stoppage by the Contracting Officer to correct sediment and erosion control issues. This type of work stoppage will not add additional days to the end of the contract for completion.

3.1.7.2 Regulatory Non-Compliance Issues

Continued non-compliance issues identified on Contractor's CCR and/or Dover AFB CCR reports may be forwarded to the EPA enforcement division for their action.

EPA enforcement issues resulting from forwarding of CCR reports or from an unannounced EPA inspection, will be resolved between the permit holder (the Contractor) and the EPA.�

3.7 Soil Disposal Procedures

3.7.1 The BCE will upon request, identify potentially contaminated soil and groundwater in the vicinity of any proposed demolition of facilities and subsequent construction of new facilities. Groundwater and soil may potentially be contaminated and if encountered needs to be addressed appropriately during design.

3.7.2 No known soil contamination may be present; however, the industrial activities associated with some facilities may lead to the potential for the identification of contaminated soil during construction. Therefore, any soil deemed for removal off-site must be analyzed to determine proper disposal avenues. Project designs should include unit price items for disposal of contaminated soils.

3.7.3 Each stockpile of soil needs to be analyzed for the following items:

a) Full toxicity characteristic leach ate procedure (TCLP) to include ignitability, reactivity, corrosiveness, metals, organics, pesticides, and herbicides.

b) Total petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)

c) Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

d) Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, and Ethyl Benzene (BTEX)

e) Percent Solids

3.7.4 The sample results shall be submitted to CES/CEA for interpretation. CEA will be utilizing the hazardous waste limitations when evaluating the TCLP results to determine if the soil shall be disposed of as hazardous waste. The other remaining parameters are required for disposal at a Delaware Solid Waste Authority facility and have associated

Appendix Q Page 11

DSWA limitations. Those limitations will be compared to the results to determine if the soil can be disposed of accordingly at the disposal facility permitted to accept hazardous waste. If the soil in non-hazardous waste but does not meet the limitations of the DSWA, the soil shall be disposed of at a disposal facility permitted to accept such waste.

The mechanical system shall be designed around shutoff VAV, low temperature VAV air handling units (50-degree max supply air); high delta T chilled water systems and hot water boiler. To comply with the demand limiting need of DAFB the use of ICE storage systems shall be provided for systems larger than 30 tons.

6.1.4 In cases where ceiling space does not allow the room for ductwork and piping, low temperature terminal units shall be used. The definition of terminal unit is fan coil units or unit ventilators that are piped in a chase for installation in a classroom or office. These systems shall be installed with air-cooled chillers and ice where needed. Fan coil units (FCU’s) and unit ventilators shall be installed with reheat and be provided with variable air volume controls to match room load with the ability to provide zone temperature and humidity control. In terminal unit applications, a 4-pipe auto changeover control system shall be provided to allow the chilled water coils in the terminal units to provide adequate heat when reheat coils are not adequate to meet heating load. Unit Ventilators shall be provided with face & bypass coil control.

6.1.5 When VAV AHU’s are not an option due to ceiling space, outside air introduction and building pressurization should be provided by a dehumidification air handling unit that provides tempered dehumidified OA at 72F 45% RH introduced directly to the space.

6.1.7 Mechanical piping systems shall have independent chilled water and hot water for a true 4-pipe system. Chilled water and hot water systems design should be based on a concentration of propylene glycol necessary to protect from freezing down to +10 degrees Fahrenheit. Chilled water piping shall be designed around a 10-degree F delta T.

Hot water piping/pumping shall be designed around 20-degree F delta T. This requirement will provide an industry standard pipe sizing. Statements of work will require testing to confirm freeze protection at 10 degrees Fahrenheit for both chilled and hot water systems.

6.1.8 The base design temperature for heating hot water systems shall be 180 degrees F supply and 140 degrees return water (40-degree delta T) however, the heating hot water temperatures should fluctuate based on outdoor temperature. Special attention should be paid to hot water boiler condensation and low flow on chillers to avoid falling below the manufacturer’s low temperature/flow requirements

6.1.9 Both of the above systems are to use ICE storage for demand limiting purposes and to provide low temperature water to the VAV air handlers or terminal units. To minimize “dumping”, “stratification” and to avoid the use of fan powered VAV the minimum setting for cooling airflow should be set for 30% (field adjustable).

6.1.10 All systems are to be installed in a manner to allow continued maintenance per the manufacturer’s installation manual.
