Description: Bid Form REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS TO PROVIDE GENERAL CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE PAD FOR THE INSTALLATION OF AN EXPLOSIVE STORAGE MAGAZINE AT SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (SFO) 1.0Purpose The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) National Explosive Detection Canine Team Program (NEDCTP) is committed to establishing safe, secure repositories for training equipment related to the Proprietary Canine Program. To this end, NEDCTP desires to install and maintain an explosives magazine at San Francisco International Airport. To achieve this goal, NEDCTP requires this site be prepared for receipt and installation of this magazine. 1.1 Background TSA is contracting with airports to install explosives storage magazine facilities to be located on or near airport grounds. Each facility will house explosive storage magazine(s) that will safely and securely hold the TSA-approved explosive training aids which are required to train and maintain the proficiency of the TSA explosives detector canines. 1.2 Technical Requirements/Task A. Pre-Construction: The Contractor must obtain all requisite approvals and permits for this project. As part of this process, the Contractor will be required to provide seven (7) sets of engineering drawings prepared by a licensed engineer, based on the proposed construction requirements reflected in Section B, below, for review and approval prior to the start of construction. These drawings shall include details of proposed concrete pad support technique given existing site conditions. B. Construction Task 1: The contractor shall construct, at a minimum, a gravel or crushed stone base (free draining material) twenty-three (23) feet long by nine (9) feet wide by at least four (4) inches deep. The sub-grade must be compacted to meet the ASTM standard of 95%. The soil on which the base and pad will be constructed is composed of an eight to ten foot layer of engineered fill over bay mud. Therefore, the contractor shall ensure that the base be constructed to support the concrete pad (referenced in Task 2) plus an additional weight of approximately 12,000 pounds. Task 2: The contractor shall construct, at a minimum, a concrete pad twenty-three (23) feet long by nine (9) feet wide by at least six (6) inches thick at 3,500 pounds per square inch (PSI). This pad is to be reinforced with 6” X 6” 10/10 welded wire fabric or fiberglass reinforced. It is to conform to (ACI) recommendations and local building codes. The concrete pad must be able to support at least 12,000 pounds of weight. The Contractor shall ensure proper grading of fill around the concrete pad, in order to ensure proper drainage of water away from the pad. The length of the pad shall be located approximately three (3) to five (5) feet from the sea wall and parallel to it. Task 3: The contractor shall construct an access corral at the two existing ten-foot gates along the exterior perimeter fencing of the site to accommodate vehicles in an off-road area. This corral shall contain a twenty-foot opening along the existing roadway. The two sides of the access corral shall be a minimum of twenty-eight feet (28) feet deep and shall be constructed to match the existing perimeter fence, which is ten (10) feet high with a three-strand barb wire cap. The entrance gate shall be constructed using two ten foot chain link gates, also with a three-strand barb wire cap. Due to elevation difference between the roadway and lot surface areas at the site, grading and drainage issue will need to be resolved. Task 4. The contractor shall construct a road from the access corral to the magazine site. The road shall be constructed of road-grade crushed stone and shall be appropriately graded to avoid the potential for standing water. Task 5: The contractor shall install two (2).75 inch by ten (10) foot copper clad grounding rods. Exact location will be determined before start of project. These grounding rods will be provided by customer. Task 6: The contractor shall construct, at a minimum, an encompassing barricade, in accordance with ATF 5400.7, Subpart B, Definitions (see Artificial Barricade and Barricaded). This barricade must meet the standard to conform to ATF 5400.7, Section 55.218 - Table of Distances for Storage of Explosive Materials. This wall shall be twelve (12) feet high and three (3) feet thick, and shall surround the concrete pad on three sides with the open side facing the existing sea wall and parallel to it. The wall shall be thirty-one (31) feet long by eighteen (18) feet deep, and shall be constructed of split-faced concrete block filled with dirt to equal the 3-foot thickness required by ATF. The two 18-foot sections of the wall shall extend approximately one (1) foot beyond the length of the pad facing the sea wall. Task 7: The contractor shall install one (1) solar light pole atop the barricade wall/berm. This task shall be completed by a licensed electrician. This light shall be placed so as to provide the maximum amount of light to the entrance of each magazine. Task 8: The contractor shall erect a solid surface roof across the top of the berm walls to cover the pad and inner area created by the berm walls. The roof shall contain a sloping angle and proper draining material in the effort to prevent standing water. The contractor shall also erect enclosure fencing across the front of the entire open side of the berm wall. This fencing shall be twelve (12) feet in height with an access gate approximately four (4) feet wide. The gate locking mechanism must have a lockable drop rod assembly with inset. This fencing will create a “cage” within the berm walls and serves to restrict access solely to authorized personnel. Task 5 through Task 8 shall be completed after delivery of the explosive magazines. 1.3. Installation oThe Contractor shall coordinate with the COTR and the local TSA POC for the site to determine the work schedule for installation. oOnce the work schedule for the site has been coordinated, the Contractor shall submit a written Work Schedule for that site documenting the agreed schedule; the Site Work Schedule shall be received and approved by TSA prior to starting work at the site. oThe Contractor shall coordinate with the local TSA POC to ensure that all personnel that will need access to the site acquire the appropriate clearances and permissions for such access in sufficient time to accomplish work on schedule. oThe Contractor shall accomplish all work required to construct the concrete pad in accordance with the approved construction specifications and bring it to an operational condition. oThe Contractor shall obtain all required permits from the airport authority prior to starting work, and shall supply any necessary drawings/plans required to obtain the permits. 1.4.
