1.4 Summary of Work

A. General:

This project includes all work associated with the roof replacement of the Yakutat VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) facility in Yakutat, Alaska. The work will be performed in conjunction with the FAA. The Contractor is responsible for performing all work not specifically identified for the FAA.

B. Background:

The YAK VOR roof was replaced with a new EPDM roof and copper mesh counterpoise in July 2017. VOR operation has been restricted since then. This project is to replace the copper mesh counterpoise with a fully soldered copper counterpoise in order to improve facility performance. The existing roofing will be removed to the extent necessary to access and replace the counterpoise. A new EPDM roofing system will be installed reusing some of the items already installed on the roof. VOR antennae brackets and supports are surveyed and reinstalled to specified standards and tolerances.

C. Major Items of Work:

The following items are a brief summary of the project and are provided solely for the purpose of revealing the general nature of the work involved. The Contractor is responsible for accomplishing all items of work in accordance with the applicable drawings, specifications and conditions of the Contract. Any additional labor, materials, equipment, and/or appurtenances not specifically detailed or specified, but required to complete the project, must be provided by the Contractor as an integral part of the scope of work specified.

Contractor Plan Approval:

1. Prior to construction, Contractor shall submit a Risk Management Plan in accordance with these specifications. Contractor will allow FAA two business weeks to review initial plan submissions and one business week to review resubmissions from Contractor. Plan approval required before Notice To Proceed (NTP) will be issued.

2. Contractor must submit a COVID-19 Safety Plan (CVSP) in accordance with the supplemental document Special Contract Requirement: COVID-19 (Construction Only) attached to and made a part of these specifications. This is in addition to the Risk Management plan. Contractor will allow FAA two business weeks to review initial plan submission and one business week to review resubmissions from Contractor. Plan approval required before NTP will be issued or site access granted.

3. FAA submitted a Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) to the State of Alaska in its application for a building permit. Contractor must submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) detailing how Contractor will comply with the requirements of the FAA CSPP. Contractor will allow FAA two business weeks to review initial plan submissions and one business week to review resubmissions from Contractor. Plan approval required before Notice To Proceed (NTP) will be issued. FAA CSPP has full force and effect of this contract.

4. Two NTP’s will be issued. A restricted NTP will be issued to allow for mobilization, staging, inventory, and inspection of materials on site. A second NTP will permit construction to start.

Survey:

1. Prior to demolition, survey and record the following: center location, elevation, and orientation of the VOR antennae pedestal plate inside the teepee; location, elevation, distance from center of pedestal plate, and angle between 16 VOR monitor antenna azimuth positioner brackets; and location and orientation of the teepee prior to removal. Survey accuracy is 1/16th inch. Deliver data to RE. Teepee is reinstalled to its original location and orientation (elevation may change slightly). VOR pedestal plate and azimuth positioner brackets are reinstalled to specified tolerances.

2. Following roof demolition, survey radius of existing plywood decking from center of pedestal plate to determine roundness at 10 degree intervals from center of pedestal plate. Deliver data to RE. Inform RE if roof decking is out of round. Provide position references with survey data so measurement locations are readily known viewing roof.

Roof Demolition:

1. Prior to start of the VOR outage and demolition of the existing roof, all new project materials are to be staged on site for ready installation of the new roof. This includes, but is not limited to, dimensional lumber, metal fascia flashing, vapor barrier, copper counterpoise sheeting/segments/rolled angle, cover board, fasteners, nylon washers, EPDM, adhesives, caulking, paint, tarpaulin, plastic sheeting, and other materials and equipment necessary for constructing the new roof. Contractor shall inventory and inspect all materials prior to the start of demolition to ensure all materials are on hand in sufficient quantity and satisfactory condition to replace the counterpoise and EPDM roofing without delay.

2. The VOR building contains hazardous materials, but all hazardous materials associated with the roofing were abated when the roof was replaced in 2017. Adhering to the scope of work will avoid hazardous materials on the project.

3. Pick-up GFM at the FAA shop in Yakutat and transport to the site. GFM will consist of new base and top gaskets for reinstalling the teepee. Contractor responsible for securing materials and equipment during project to include GFM.

4. Erect scaffolding completely around roof for fall protection and access to roof. Scaffolding is complete and in good order meeting all applicable codes and regulations.

5. FAA will shut-down VOR and DME for project. All other facility equipment will remain in service during project.

6. Seal and protect VOR building against dust, water, and debris intrusion. The VOR building contains highly sensitive electronic equipment. No dust, water, or other intrusions in the building will be acceptable. Protect antennae, panel boxes, exhaust hoods, air intakes, lights, alarms, A/C units, load banks, cabling, and all other equipment in, on, or around the building during construction. Protection of the building and equipment takes precedence over construction. FAA concern for damage or impacts to operational equipment will result in project shutdown at Contractor expense until situation is remedied to FAA satisfaction.

7. Provide sealed containers on site for all project wastes to prevent debris from being blown from site. Loose or torn material packaging must also be kept in sealed containers. Absence of wind will not preclude this requirement.

8. FAA will remove the VOR and DME antennae inside the teepee and 16 VOR monitor antennae from around the perimeter of the roof.
