PROJECT DESCRIPTION: STATEMENT OF WORK RUNWAY RUBBER REMOVAL 1. The work covered by this specification consists of furnishing all labor, equipment, materials, transportation, etc, that is required to remove 85-percent of the rubber buildup from 100-percent of the work area. The work shall be performed on both asphalt and concrete surfaces. 2. The rubber removal work shall be completed without damaging the pavement, joints, joint sealant, or any other government property. If any damage does occur, the Contractor shall repair the damage as required, and in a manner approved by the Project Inspector. 3. Prior to the start of work, the Contractor shall attend an airfield safety briefing. The Contractor shall follow all instructions given at this briefing. If necessary, the Contractor will be provided with a radio at this time. The Contractor shall return the radio at the end of the work. The Contractor will also receive airfield passes for his vehicles at this time. 4. The Contractor shall submit detailed information on the chemical composition of the product. The Holloman AFB Environmental Flight will review the product to ensure that it meets all required regulations. No product will be allowed for use on base until approval is received from the Environmental Flight. 5. The equipment used for rubber removal work shall be mounted on pneumatic tires, and shall not cause damage to the pavement surface or joints. The Contractor?s equipment shall also conform to the following requirements. Experience has shown that these requirements are necessary in order to achieve a satisfactory end result. Broom for Scrubbing: The broom fill shall consist of a steel and plastic bristle combination. The minimum diameter of the broom core when new shall be no less than 30". The core shall have a minimum of 700 pounds of wire bristles, and 100 pounds of plastic bristles. The minimum width of the broom core shall be 12'. An all fiber broom will not be allowed. Water Tanker for Rinsing: The water pressure used for rinsing the pavement shall not exceed 50-psi. The tanker shall have a minimum capacity of 8,000-gallons, and shall be capable of delivering rinse water at a minimum rate of 250-gallons per minute. The discharge port shall be no less than 4" in diameter. Chemical Applicator: The chemical shall be applied with a low pressure sprayer. The spray boom shall have a minimum width of 25'. The nozzles shall be adjustable to prevent drifting of the chemical. Magnet: A magnet measuring at least 4" wide by 40" long shall be suspended beneath the rear of the broom to pick up any lost steel broom fibers. 6. The removal of rubber deposits shall be accomplished by using a derubberizing compound specifically formulated and field tested for this purpose. Typically, the areas to be cleaned are saturated with the cleaner, agitated by a mechanical scrubber using wire brushes, and rinsed with clean water. The rubber removal chemical that will be specified for this contract is Avion 50, or approved equal. Before an approved equal chemical will be allowed for use, it must be documented by field experience. The contractor shall submit the names of at least five major civil airports or DoD bases where he has removed rubber successfully for at least two years using the proposed chemical. The contractor shall provide a letter from at least three of the users stating that his work was satisfactory. Holloman AFB may also require an on-site demonstration in addition to the above certification. If an on-site demonstration is required, it shall be at no cost to the base. 7. The Contractor shall provide lighting as required. 8. The Contractor shall begin work only when the air temperature is 40? F and rising, and when the pavement temperature is 35? F and rising. 9. Water will be provided to the Contractor at no cost. The water source will be a fire hydrant located within the airfield. The Contractor will be provided with a wrench for opening and closing the hydrant. The wrench shall be returned when the work in complete. When the hydrant is not in use by the Contractor, it shall be made available for emergency use by the base fire department. 10. The Contractor will not be required to recover the chemical. However, the Contractor shall flush all debris, waste, and by-products generated from the rubber removal process completely off of the pavement surface and onto the dirt. The Contractor shall ensure that the dirty rinse water is not allowed to dry on the pavement and stain it. If any rinse water stains do occur anywhere on the pavement surface, the Contractor shall clean the pavement until the stain is gone. When cleaning is complete, there shall not be a dust film left behind on the pavement surface. If any dust is present, the Contractor shall rinse the pavement until it is gone. The Contractor shall also ensure that his rubber removal process does not discolor the pavement surface. If any rinse water staining or discoloration does occur, the Contractor will be directed to stop work immediately and implement measures to correct the problem. 11. The work times and dates will be coordinated with the Contractor for each individual call. However, the Contractor will generally not be allowed to work during the daytime hours on a normal workday. The Contractor should expect that the work will occur during nights, weekends, or holidays. 12. The Contractor shall store his equipment and materials in areas designated by the base. The storage area will be located somewhere within the airfield. 13. Compliance with the 85-percent removal from 100-percent of the work area will be determined by direct testing within the designated work area. 13.1 A one square foot grid with 100 equal squares will be placed on the pavement surface at random locations. The number of squares that contain rubber will then be counted. The number of squares containing rubber deposits shall not exceed 15 in each of the randomly selected locations. 13.2 Each work area designated for rubber removal will be divided into four equal zones for the purpose of compliance testing. Within each zone, seven random, pre-selected locations will be evaluated. Five of those locations will be located within 10' of the runway centerline. At least six of the randomly selected areas within each zone must meet the requirement specified above. Each zone will be evaluated independently. A zone not meeting the 85-percent removal requirement shall be re-cleaned by the Contractor at his expense. 13.3 Deposits of rubber are defined as any surface deposit that can be removed by scratching the deposit with a sharp object (such as a pocket knife) without damaging the pavement surface. Rubber stain is defined as materials in the pavement surface micro texture that cannot be removed without damaging the pavement surface. Rubber stain is generally embedded in the surface of the pavement below the horizontal plane of the surface texture. The Contractor will not be required to remove rubber stain. Note that rubber stain is different from rinse water stain as defined in Paragraph 10. (Engineering Technical Letter (ETL) 97-17) 14. The Contractor shall perform a complete cleanup of the work and equipment storage areas after the work is complete. The Contractor shall ensure that no broom bristles are left on the runway. 15. The Contractor shall fill out the attached bid schedule. There are two line items on the bid schedule. One line item is for a trip charge, and one is for the rubber removal work. The trip charge shall include all costs associated with travel, motel, per diem, etc, and all other costs not directly related to the rubber removal work. The Contractor will be entitled to one (1) trip charge per call. The rubber removal line item shall include only those costs directly related to the rubber removal work. Payment to the Contractor shall be in accordance with the bid schedule. The bid schedule prices shall include the appropriate tax. 16. Prior to awarding the contract, the Contractor shall provide submittals on the proposed chemical and equipment that he intends to use on this contract. The contract will be awarded only after the Contractor?s submittals have been approved. 17. Rubber removal work will generally take place on three runways. The following information is provided. ? Runway 16: 200' wide. This runway is typically cleaned twice a year, and usually has heavy rubber buildup. ? Runway 34: 150' wide. This runway is typically cleaned once a year, and usually has light to moderate rubber buildup. ? Runway 22: 300' wide. This runway is typically cleaned once a year, and usually has light to moderate rubber buildup.
