UXO INFORMATION

SPECIFICATION FOR GENERAL CONTRACTS

SECTION 02010

PERFORM UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE DETECTION,

PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION AND REMOVAL COORDINATION.

(July 1, 2016)

UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE (UXO)

PART I – GENERAL

1. BACKGROUND. This project is sited in the Aberdeen Area (AA) or the Edgewood Area (EA) of Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG). The construction “Statement of Work” lists the location of this project. Exact past usage of the area regarding Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) (impact area, burial site, etc.) is unknown. Since the history of the site is incomplete, it cannot be assumed to be free of subsurface UXO. The surface of the work area will be inspected and investigated for UXO by personnel employed by the Contractor before the Contractor can start any work, including pre-construction site visits. Areas where drilling, excavation, digging, trenching or other earth disturbance are required will be swept with geophysical remote sensing tools/instruments by pre-approved and certified Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel employed by the contractor. The geophysical tools may include seismic methods, metal detection, magnetometry, ground penetrating radar, resistivity and geophysical diffraction tomography. The tools used must be able to clear for both ferrous and nonferrous metals, must be suitable for the field conditions, and capable of locating material as small as 20mm ordnance at a depth of two feet.

During construction the Contractor will take appropriate action regarding the presence of UXO, as listed below.

2. UXO CONSIDERATIONS.

2.1. Removal and disposal of UXO is not a part of this specification. The intent is to assure that all possible efforts to detect and identify the presence of UXO are performed. The potential for UXO on this site is unknown, however due caution must be exercised to ensure that construction and excavation are accomplished with due regard for the potential presence of UXO.

2.2. When UXO is detected and identified as potentially loaded with explosives, chemicals, propellant or pyrotechnics, or when the buried object is exposed and cannot be identified as non-UXO, the contractor will coordinate with the Government Emergency Response Authorities and the Installation Safety Division. The location of the object will be marked with a yellow survey marker flag, all activities on the site will cease, and all personnel will evacuate to a safe observation limit. The EOD contractor will maintain site access control and ensure personnel safety until the Government Emergency Response Authorities arrive and take control of the site. The contractor must supply the Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates for each item to the Installation Safety Division upon arrival of the Emergency Response Team. The GPS positions must also be noted in the final report. The contractor will allow the Government EOD personnel sufficient time to complete field evaluation, render safe, recover and dispose of UXO, per incident, when UXO is detected and identified.

2.3. UXO reporting procedures: The EOD contractor will notify the government Emergency Response Authority and the Installation Safety Division by dialing:

2.3.1. In the Aberdeen Area (AA):

Emergency Response: Government phone dial 911

Cell or non-government phone 410-278-7220

U.S. Army GarrisonAPG/ Safety: Dial 410-306-1095/1096

2.3.2. In the Edgewood Area (EA):

Emergency Response: Government phone dial 911

Cell/non-government phone 410-676-0960

GAPG/ Safety: Dial 410-306-1095/1096

NOTE: Ensure UXO personnel making the calls inform the Installation Safety Division that the Emergency Response call has been placed.

3. DISCLOSURE. Five days after Notice To Proceed, the name, address and telephone number of the EOD organization to be utilized will be disclosed in writing by the contractor to the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The disclosure of an EOD organization other than those listed in Paragraph 4.1 will be accompanied by information sufficient to enable the Government to determine the organization meets the qualifications listed in Paragraph 4.2. If the Contracting Officer determines that the EOD firm does not meet the qualifications in Paragraph 4.2, the contractor will, upon notification by the Contracting Officer, submit an alternate source. Failure to provide the name of an acceptable EOD firm within 10 days after issuance of Notice to Proceed may be reason for a termination for default action. Upon acceptance by APG of the EOD organization, it may not be changed without written permission from the Contracting Officer. No information regarding the disclosure of the EOD organization will be included in the bid.
