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.

The Army installations maintain master plans for mission transformation at Army installations include the demolition and deconstruction of buildings and structures. 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 of 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 Facilities Reduction Program (FRP) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) which is performance-based.

(c) Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of the contractor's scheduled work day.

Monthly anticipated adverse weather delays are based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities. The NOAA data will be provided with each task order PWS. The provided information shall be regarded as the normal and anticipatable number of calendar days for each month during which demolition activity shall be expected to be prevented and suspended by cause of adverse weather. Suspension of demolition activity for the number of days each month is included in the project PWS. These days shall be included in the submitted work plans and schedules and is not eligible for extension of Contract Time.

The proposed schedule shall provide an estimated NTP date, mobilization, and then detail the sequence of work for each major activity (abatement, demolition, restoration) by building or groups of buildings that meets the overall schedule. Separate schedules shall be provided for any /all PWS options.

• The proposal shall clearly describe the Contractor’s on-site management and project planning processes through which it will adapt work schedules and processes when encountering changing conditions based on owner needs, site condition problems, and/or weather delays.

• The proposal shall describe the types and expected amount of equipment, number of personnel, identity of subcontractors, etc. required to perform the work within the allotted timeframe, as provided in the proposed project schedule.

• The proposal shall indicate the Contractor’s expected diversion rate and whether it will meet Army goals for the fiscal year of the task order.

• The proposal shall describe the anticipated quantities and types of materials for diversion/recycle and the locations and company names which are to receive those materials. A table(s) is acceptable for this and the next element below.

• The locations and company names to receive ACM and ORM items will be provided.
