This document is a Standard Form 30 (SF-30) Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract for the Järva-Jaani School Renovation project in Estonia. The amendment extends the solicitation due date to 17 April 2025 at 1000 CEST and updates the Statement of Work (SOW). The project involves renovating an existing school's sub-basement to meet safety and sanitary requirements, including upgrading the main electrical and heating systems, replacing 5 fire doors, and refurbishing upper floor ceilings. The renovation aims to address critical infrastructure issues in a school building constructed in the 1940s/60s, with current systems not meeting modern safety and fire standards.

The solicitation is for a design-build contract issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Contracting Division in Wiesbaden, Germany. The project location is in Järva-Jaani Village, Estonia, with specific coordinates of Latitude 59°02'50.4"N, Longitude 25°53'01.8"E. The renovation will improve the school's electrical distribution, heating systems, and ceiling materials to enhance safety for 201 local children. The amendment provides updated technical specifications across multiple sections including civil, architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, and fire protection requirements for the comprehensive school renovation project.

The buildings were constructed in 1940s / 60s. The current condition of the school does not meet sanitary and fire safety standards. The main electrical distribution panel dates from the Soviet era and needs replacing. The heating unit is at the end of its operational life, and there is a risk of failure. Separately, the ceiling finishes in various parts of the school pose a fire hazard due to unsuitable materials. The School is owned by the municipal government and teaches 201 local children. The renovation will make the school healthier and safer for the children and the staff.

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

a. Demolish interior walls in the basement to create open space for the locker rooms

b. Provide new rooms in the basement as shown on attached floor plan

c. Replace all room surfaces in the basement area shown on attached floor plan

d. Replace combustible ceilings in the whole school bldg.

e. Upgrade the main electrical room equipment

f. Upgrade the heating plant in the basement

g. Replace windows in the basement

h. Provide a new exterior exit stair to the southern side of the basement

i. Provide new light wells and windows to the southern side of the basement

j. Correct fire / life safety code deficiencies in basement locker / changing rooms area

k. Replace fire doors.

l. Refurbish / replace combustible and hazardous material ceiling in classrooms, corridors and stairs install lighting to meet fire safety requirements.

Amend the site layout as determined by the site-specific constraints, the owner’s preferences, accessibility, future expansion, and opportunities that are identified and evaluated as part of the Contractor’s scope of work.

The Contractor is responsible for all aspects of the project whether they are shown on the conceptual plan or not.

2.8 DEMOLITION

Remove existing structures, utilities, pavement, vegetation, and any other features to construct the proposed improvements. Provide straight, neat sawcuts at limits of pavement removal. All contaminated soils discovered require special testing and disposal per Host Nation requirements.

Show demolition work and limits of disturbance in the drawings. 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 required by the KO. 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 KO prior to performing said work.

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 results must be furnished to the KO. 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.

2.9.8 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.

Site grading around the building must meet ABA and 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).

2.9.10 RETAINING (BASEMENT) WALLS

Retaining walls (also called Basement walls) are included in the site grading design. These will support the excavations for the exit stair and light wells.

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. A pump system is not allowed. If using an infiltration or detention system, locate infiltration/detention facilities a minimum of 3 meters away and downhill from structures. Provide an overflow to the infiltration/detention system that will not damage improvements or cause erosion.

The storm drainage for the new exit stair and light wells will be attached to the existing storm drainage system for the basement. In the absence of Host Nation standards, design the storm drainage system per UFC 3-201-01, Civil Engineering Chapter 3-Storm Drainage Systems.

Repair damaged downspouts as they are encountered. Connect building downspouts to the existing storm water system. Collect runoff from other surfaces to the existing main storm water system.
