1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Background

In 2004, the Installation Management Command (IMCOM) assigned management of the OMA (Operations and Management, Army) and AFH (Army Family Housing) facility demolition programs to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Center (CEHNC). The Huntsville Center centrally manages these programs with execution accomplished through installations, Corps Districts, and Huntsville Center integrated product delivery teams. In 2005, the Installation Management Agency (IMA), now IMCOM, requested that CEHNC create an additional national contracting capability to handle the demolition/remediation requirements.

The Army installation master plans for mission transformation at Army installations include the demolition and deconstruction of buildings and structures. This is accomplished by contracting for the best overall value, while considering cost, project completion times, compliance with environmental and safety requirements, and the ability to meet and exceed industry standards for quality demolition and abatement. The Army’s Facilities Reduction Program (FRP) consists of removal, demolition and/or deconstruction of small to very large buildings and structures to include the removal of trees and vegetation, parking lots, drives, sidewalks, roadways, utility and electrical disconnections, removal and rerouting utility connections, removal of outbuildings, site-assessments, environmental assessments, abatement of facilities contaminants (i.e. lead, asbestos, chemicals, PCBs, petroleum byproducts), removal of above or underground storage tanks, recycling of building materials, redirection of debris waste streams, value engineering, site restoration, data collection, data analysis and reporting, both hazardous and non-hazardous debris transportation, environmental sampling, and other activities pertaining to demolition, destruction, reduction and restoration. Projects may also include emergency response to disasters causing either man-made or natural destruction, such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, terrorist activities, etc.

This performance work statement (PWS) supports the Mideast United States Facilities Reduction Program (FRP) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) which is performance-based.

1.2 Objective

The purpose of this acquisition is to reduce the Federal Government’s inventory of excess (no longer needed) facilities, thereby saving energy and maintenance cost; eliminate safety hazards, nuisances and unsightly structures and free up valuable Army real estate for future development.

General work activities performed under this contract shall be for the planning, coordination, and execution of building and facility removal/demolition. Major aspects of the field work include, but are not limited to, facility abatement and hazardous material removal, demolition, debris management and disposition, and site restoration and cleanup. The Contractor shall provide a full range of professional services in a proficient, productive, and knowledgeable manner to efficiently and effectively accomplish all contract work. Each task order awarded under this contract is for firm fixed price (FFP). Work shall be conducted pursuant to Federal, state, county, and local laws and regulations. Required facility demolition/removal services include, but are not limited to:

� Securing the site and buildings/structures;

Construction and demolition waste includes all products of demolition or removal, excess or unusable construction materials and other associated items identified for removal as part of the project. In the management of waste, consideration shall be given to the availability of viable markets, the condition of the material, the ability to provide the material in suitable condition and in a quantity acceptable to available markets, and time constraints imposed by internal project completion mandates.

The Contractor shall be responsible for implementation of any special programs involving rebates or similar incentives related to recycling of waste. Revenues or other savings obtained for salvage or recycling shall accrue to the Contractor and are expected to be listed and accounted for in the final bid price. Firms and facilities used for recycling, reuse, and disposal shall be appropriately permitted for the intended use to the extent required by Federal, state, and local regulations.

1.12.2 Waste Disposition Records

Records shall be maintained to document the type and quantity of waste generated for each structure to be demolished as part of this contract. These records shall be made available to the COR during demolition, and a copy of the records shall be delivered to the COR upon completion of the project. The Project C&D Materials and Quantity Report shall contain segregated data for metals/steel salvage, concrete materials, all other recyclable and/or reusable materials, and all other debris. Other debris material that is diverted from landfills shall be so identified.

The Contractor shall, after receipt of such notice, immediately inform the COR in writing, of the proposed corrective action and take such action, once approval has been obtained in writing from the COR. If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly, the COR may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. No time lost, due to any such stop orders, shall be made subject of a claim for extension of time or for excess costs of damages by the Contractor.

1.17.1 Protection of Land Resources

The land resources within the project boundaries and outside the limits of permanent work performed under this contract shall be preserved as set forth in these Specifications and on the drawings. Except in areas indicated on the plans that are specified to be cleared, the Contractor shall not deface, injure, or destroy trees or shrubs, nor remove or cut them without the approval of the Contracting Officer. Ropes, cables, or guys shall not be fastened to or attached to any existing nearby trees for anchorages unless specifically authorized. Where such special emergency use is permitted, it shall be performed in such a manner as to avoid damage to the trees. The Contractor shall in any event be responsible for any damage resulting from such use and shall be required to repair or place the damage trees at no additional cost to the Government. Where the possibility exists that trees may be defaced, bruised, injured, or otherwise damaged by the Contractor's equipment or operations, the Contractor shall adequately protect such trees.

Stone, earth or other material that is displaced into undisturbed areas shall be removed. Monuments and markers shall be protected before construction operations commence.

Temporary erosion and sediment control measures, in conformance with the SWPPP, shall be provided and maintained until the permanent work and permanent erosion and sediment control measures are completed and operative and the SWPPP is successfully closed out by the issuing authority.

1.17.3 Recording and Preserving Historical and Archaeological Finds

Any and all items having any apparent historical or archaeological interest that are discovered in the course of any construction activities shall be carefully preserved. The Contractor shall leave the archaeological find undisturbed and shall immediately report the find to the COR so that proper authorities may be notified. If an archaeological find is discovered and a job stop page is required, the delay shall not be reason for the Contractor to submit a claim against the Government.

1.18 Cleanup

The Contractor shall at all times keep the work area, including storage areas, free from accumulations of waste materials except as required to maintain the proper pace and flow of the demolition process. Before completing the work, the Contractor shall remove from the work and premises any rubbish, tools, scaffolding, equipment, and materials that are not the property of the Government.
