2.8.6 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Reference RFP Section 00 74 01-SPECIAL CONDITIONS, and 01 30 00-GENERAL REQUIREMENTS for additional demolition, protection, and permitting requirements.

2.9 EARTHWORK

Perform all earth work necessary for the installation of the proposed improvements.

2.9.1 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS

Define earthwork requirements in the plans and specifications. Include requirements for satisfactory material, borrow material, structural fill, topsoil, utility trenches, replacement and improvement of on-site soils, soil compaction (for subgrades of structures, paving, and landscaped areas), compaction for utility trenches, maximum lift depths, density testing frequency, maximum temporary and permanent slopes, and engineered support systems. The earthwork requirements must not conflict with the recommendations in the Contractor-provided Geotechnical Report.

2.9.2 CONTAMINATED SOIL

Inspect and test all soil according to Host Nation requirements. If hazardous materials are discovered, cease excavation, secure the area, and notify the KO for further guidance.

2.9.3 CULTURAL RESOURCES

Cultural resources, such as archaeological remains, may be uncovered during excavation operations. If suspected cultural remains are found, cease excavation, secure the area, and notify the KO for further guidance.

2.9.4 TOPSOIL

When restoring the site to finish grade, place topsoil back in excavated areas that do not include proposed paving or structures.

2.9.5 SATISFACTORY MATERIAL

Excavated material (below topsoil), 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.

All structure foundation excavations must be inspected and approved by the Contractor’s Geotechnical Engineer prior to placing concrete. Repair earthwork areas as recommended by the Contractor’s Geotechnical Engineer, and approved by the KO.

2.9.7 ENGINEERED SOIL SUPPORT SYSTEMS

Provide engineered soil support systems (i.e. shoring) as required for the construction of the proposed improvements. The Contractor is responsible for all dewatering necessary for earthwork.

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.

d. In accordance with requirements of UFC 3-201-01, Chapter 2-8 Grading

e. Set finished floor elevations a minimum of 15 centimeters above finished grade at the perimeter of the building, with the exception of finished grade at entry points.

f. Set building finish floor elevations at a minimum of 30 centimeters above the local 100 year flood level.

Site grading around the building must meet Host Nation accessibility guidelines.

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 require non-erodible surface (i.e. rock, shrubs with mulch).

2.10 UTILITIES

This section applies to all project underground utilities located outside the building, including but not limited to, electrical. See Section 5.0-ELECTRICAL &

COMMUNICATIONS.

whichever is more stringent. Place plastic warning tape along the route of the buried pipe after installation at a height of 0.3 meters above the pipe.

Coordinate all required installation, relocation, improvement and protection of utilities held by third party (e.g. public or private utility). 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 utility materials per IBC requirements. Provide corrosion protection for utilities that provides the minimum life expectancy specified in Section 1.0- GENERAL. 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

Provide a gravity storm drainage system to direct runoff away from improvements, eliminate ponding, and prevent erosion. In the absence of Host Nation standards, design the storm drainage system per UFC 3-201-01, Civil Engineering Chapter 3- Storm Drainage Systems.

Provide a storm drainage system to direct runoff away from improvements and eliminate ponding. Connect building roof gutters and downspouts to a rainwater tank (5500 liter) as shown on the attached Conceptual Site Plan. Locate tank out of pathways and windows. Provide a spigot at the bottom of the tank. Below the spigot, provide a splash block that will drain water away from building foundations a minimum of 3 meters per site grading requirements. Provide an overflow system from the tank that drains away from foundations a minimum of 3 meters per site grading requirements. Provide a UV resistant tank.
