NAVFAC Design-Build Model Request for Proposal - Standard Template

H30 GENERAL

RFP Part 3 including the Engineering System Requirements (ESR) provide project specific requirements.  The RFP Part 4, Performance Technical Sections (PTS) provide generalized technical requirements that apply to multiple facility types and include more requirements than are applicable to any one project. Therefore, only the RFP Part 4 requirements that apply to the project and further define the RFP Part 3 project specific requirements are required.

H30 1.1 NARRATIVE

Use this Section in conjunction with all parts of the Design Build (D/B) Request for Proposal (RFP) to determine the full requirements of this solicitation.

This Section covers the design and construction requirements for the coastal protection, described in ESR H30, Coastal Protection, of Part 3 and as identified on the RFP drawings provided in Part 6.

H30 1.2 COASTAL PROTECTION DESIGN GUIDANCE

NOTE:  This Performance Technical Specification (PTS) has been developed to utilize certain UFGS sections for prescriptive requirements.  However, there may be rare occasions when additional prescriptive specifications may be identified by the Engineering Systems Requirements (ESR) to be edited by the Contractor’s Designer of Record. If other UFGS sections or standards are to be referenced in this PTS section, list those not covered by the UMRL in the following two paragraphs.
 
If the product or system is new and not covered in the PTS, provide a new paragraph and heading.  If the product or system is presently covered in the PTS but is being changed by the reference to the UFGS, edit the PTS paragraphs to eliminate redundancy or conflicts.  In either case, identify the UFGS section in the products and materials (UNIFORMAT II/WBS level 4) text of the PTS as follows:
 
"Uniformat II/WBS Number – Paragraph Number Paragraph Heading
The Designer of Record must utilize UFGS Section Number, "Section Title" for the project specification, and submit the edited specification section as a part of the design submittal for the project."

Provide the design and installation in accordance with the following references.  This Performance Technical Specification (PTS) adds clarification to the fundamental requirements contained in the following Government Standards.  The general requirements of this PTS Section are located in PTS Section Z10, General Performance Technical Specification.

Any information presented in Part 6 of this RFP with regard to soil sampling and laboratory testing is for the Contractor’s information only and is not guaranteed to fully represent all subsurface conditions.  Contractor must perform, at his expense, such subsurface exploration, investigation, testing, and analysis as his Designer of Record deems necessary for the design and construction of the coastal protection system.  Contractor must assemble all boring logs and present them in the design plans.

H30 1.2.2.2 Stone

Quality of Stone used in Coastal Protection system must conform to the specified requirements when tested as specified in this Section.  Perform a visual examination of the quarry, including examination of the blast samples, suitable tests and service records to determine the acceptability of the stone.  To ensure the required stone quality, perform petrographic analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis conforming to ASTM C 295, as well as specific gravity, absorption, durability and wetting and drying tests as follows:

The size and quantity of test specimens used for the tests listed above must conform to the requirements of ASTM D 4992.

Contractor may be required to provide representative samples of the proposed stone materials from each stone source. The samples must consist of sufficient individual pieces to allow reviewing of stone quality and gradation. Sample cannot be less than 110 pounds (50 kg).

NOTE:  Specify the following for projects in Guam or where similar requirement is applicable.

Stone that comes from off-island sources must be thoroughly washed and disinfected at the source in accordance with the provisions of Territory of Guam, Executive Order No. 91-16, Relative to the Importation of Sand and Other Quarried Materials. Stone must also be suitable for Ocean Dumping Permit Evaluations.

H30 1.2.2.3 Permit and Environmental Control

Coastal protection work must meet the permit and environmental control requirements of Part 2 Section 01 57 19, Temporary Environmental Controls.  Do not commence in-water construction until the required United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) permits are obtained.  Construction must meet the conditions stipulated in the USACOE permits.

H30 1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Submit qualifications, certifications, and Test Plans indicated herein 45 calendar days prior to the expected date of execution. Notify the Contracting Officer 14 calendar days prior to all testing. Submit test results within 7 calendar days of completion of testing.

The Designer of Record is responsible for approving the submittals listed below.

H30 1.3.1 Earthwork

Perform field quality control required in UFGS Section 31 23 00.00 20, Excavation and Fill.

H30 1.3.2 Stone Quality

Submit all tests specified in the "Stone" paragraph in this PTS Section for review prior to loading stone for transport.  Stone is not to be shipped until the quality of the stone has been certified.

Stone which does not conform in specific gravity, structure, and other characteristics, or that has substances on or within the stone that would make it unsuitable for ocean placement as described in the "Stone" paragraph in this PTS Section, will be rejected.  The presence of unsatisfactory stone or objectionable foreign material in any load of stone delivered for use in the work will be deemed sufficient reason for rejection of the whole load.  Any such load must be immediately removed from the work, at Contractor’s expense.

Prior to placement, all stone must be subject to acceptance by the Contracting Officer.  Acceptance of any stone does not constitute acceptance of all rock from a source.  All accepted stone must be of the same lithology as the original stone from which test results or service records were taken as a basis for approval of the source.
