1.0 GENERAL

1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Request for Proposal (RFP) provides parameters for a design-build project for

Renovation of Fire and Rescue Station.

The Švenčionys Fire and Rescue Station is located in the south-eastern region of

Lithuania. The facility was constructed in the 19th Century as a horse carriage barn. The original building was renovated in 1940 and has had multiple additions and modifications since. The main vehicle garage was added in 1994 along with a small one-story multi-purpose space. An additional two-story office space was added in 1996. Since that time, there has not been significant modernization or rehabilitation of the facility or major building components. The facility is inadequate compared to modern day standards and the current condition hinders the response capabilities and resiliency of the Fire and Rescue Service.

The walls, roof, and windows are minimally insulated. It is estimated that they allow four times as much heat loss as current code allows. The vehicle garage doors are uninsulated and do not have proper weather seals installed. Cold winter winds quickly remove heat from the garage area. The attics are insulated with wood fiber cellulose that has become damp, uneven, and begun to deteriorate. The existing asbestos roof tiles have become brittle and damaged, allowing water infiltration that accelerates the rot of organic insulations.

The project includes the following general items of work, detailed requirements are contained elsewhere in this Statement of Work:

a. Replace roof covering and attic insulation;

b. Replace vehicle garage windows and doors;

c. Insulate exterior walls;

d. Provide a perimeter rainwater management system;

e. Replace vehicle garage exhaust system (;

f. Refurbish vehicle garage slab approx. 201m2);

g. Provide new high-efficiency lighting throughout vehicle garage;

h. Replace interior doors; and

i. Provide minor interior space reconfigurations.

1.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor must deliver fully functional, turnkey type facilities (without furniture) as described in this document. The work includes - but is not limited

Stake-out the limits of disturbance on-site with temporary fencing before beginning construction.

2.8.2 ITEMS TO REMAIN IN PLACE WITHIN CONSTRUCTION LIMITS

Take necessary precautions to avoid damage to existing items to remain in place, to be reused, or to remain the property of the Government. Repair or replace damaged items as approved by the COR. Construct and maintain shoring, bracing, and supports as required. Ensure that structural elements are not overloaded. Provide new supports and reinforcement for existing construction weakened by demolition, deconstruction, or removal work. Repairs, reinforcement, or structural replacement require approval by the COR prior to performing said work.

2.8.3 TREE DEMOLITION

If it cannot be avoided, remove trees with driplines within the footprint of the proposed improvements. Protect trees larger than 150mm diameter at chest height within the project site which might be damaged during construction, with a 1.8 m high fence around the dripline of the tree(s), which is assumed to be the extent of the tree’s roots. Mitigate for tree removal per Host Nation requirements. Tree cutting interrelated processes need to be coordinated with responsible persons and local authorities. This includes, but is not limited to, compensation measures and endangered species studies. The Contractor is responsible for permitting, environmental studies, and coordination with local authorities related to tree and vegetation demolition.

2.8.4 UTILITY DEMOLITION

2.9.5 SATISFACTORY MATERIAL

Excavated material, if satisfactory for reuse per the Contractor’s Geotechnical

Engineer, may be used on the project site where fill is required. Unsatisfactory material, and surplus excavated material not required for fill, must be disposed of offsite, and is the responsibility of the Contractor. Borrow material may be required for construction from sources off site. Borrow materials are to be free of hazardous materials and contaminants. Any soil brought in from off-site sources must be certified clean.

In the absence of Host Nation requirements and geotechnical recommendations, fill and backfill must be placed in layers of 20 centimeters loose thickness and compacted to a minimum 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by Host Nation test method equivalent to ASTM D-1557 (Modified Proctor test). Provide density tests on all lifts at a frequency of 1 test per 40 square meters for foundations and parking, and

1 test per 30 meters of road and utility trench. Round up to nearest whole number

(i.e. a 25 square meter foundation requires one test). The location of all tests must be selected by the Contractor’s geotechnical engineer, and copies of all test

2-May-19 Page 12 of 39 results must be furnished to the COR. Repair earthwork areas as recommended by the

Contractor’s Geotechnical Engineer, and approved by the COR.

a. Finished grades of earth/grass/gravel surfaces adjacent to buildings and structures must slope away from all exterior edges with a minimum slope of 5% for the first 2 meters.

b. Finished grades of paved surfaces adjacent to buildings and structures must slope away from all exterior edges with a minimum slope of 2% for the first 2 meters.

c. Finished grades must not create stagnating water or ponding anywhere on the project site, nor create ponding on adjacent properties. Provide storm improvements if ponding is unavoidable.

The Contractor must limit proposed landscape slopes to a maximum 4H:1V for grass areas requiring mowing and 2H:1V for non-grass areas, which will a require non-erodible surface (i.e. rock, shrubs with mulch).

This includes coordination of any work to be performed by the utility owner. Choice of materials and products for utility installation must be coordinated with the utility owner

(customer or third party) to ensure proper integration and compliance with existing systems and allow for easy maintenance and repair of the utilities in the future.

Provide corrosion protection for utilities that provides the minimum life expectancy specified in GENERAL Section 1.0. Any piping or equipment exposed to sunlight must be coated with protective coatings suitable for UV exposure with a minimum expected coating life of 10 years before recoating.

2.10.1 STORM SYSTEM

a. Perimeter drainage trench around the facility that consists of a minimum 30 cm wide trench with drainage material (gravel) from grade to the depth of the

2-May-19 Page 13 of 39 building footings. Provide perforated drainage pipe in the drainage trench that connects that connects to the municipal storm system with a solid wall pipe.

Provide filter fabric geotextile between drainage trench aggregate and native ground.

b. Connect building downspouts to the municipal storm system in a separate pipe than the perimeter trench drainage system.

c. Route drainage from the existing drainage channel and/or piping through the laundry room to the existing sanitary system. The new drainage system must not allow storm water or sewage backflow into the laundry room.
