The Contractor shall provide and perform civil engineering design and construction services as required to provide a complete, accessible, functional and usable project. The contractor is required to extensively coordinate civil design and construction work with the scope of the other disciplines described in this SOW.

2.2 1 SCOPE SUMMARY

Civil works for this project are comprised of, but are not limited to, the following principal items (refer to bid schedule for which of these are base bid or optional):

- Site Survey

- Geotechnical Investigation and Report.

- Site Layout

- Clearing, Grubbing, Demolition and Removal

- Earthwork

- Storm Drainage

- Sanitary Sewer

- Water

- Pavement

- Landscaping

2.3 EXISTING CONDITIONS

The proposed project is located in Vrujci, Serbia, southwest of the capital Belgrade, and close to the municipality of Mionica. See Attachment #1-Location Maps, Attachment #2 – Site Plan, and Attachment #3 – Site Photos.

The site currently has an existing medical facility that will be congruent with this project. An existing telecommunications structure onsite will be removed by others before construction.

The site has existing water and sanitary sewer connections nearby. Utility as-builts were not provided. However, the adjacent existing building has water and sanitary connections, likely extended from the main road.

2.3.1 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND CONTAMINATION
