Site work and renovation of a civil project in Bellingham, Washington. Completed plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

The scope of work for this project consists of furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for the project identified above including the following major work items: Prior to start of construction, prepare and submit for Engineer approval an Excavation and Water Management Plan and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) describing means and methods to accomplish the Work. Maintain site security, limit public access to project site, and conduct Work activities so as to not interfere with pedestrian, bicycle, or vehicle traffic on adjacent public rights-of-way. Conduct a utility locate. Install and maintain temporary erosion and sedimentation control (TESC) best management practices (BMPs) to prevent any off-site stormwater runoff or materials track-out and maintain them in full compliance with the approved SWPPP and applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances throughout construction. Establish lined and bermed stockpile areas for contaminated soil and for inert (uncontaminated) debris and maintain appropriate BMPs for all stockpiles, including capture and treatment of runoff from the stockpile area, throughout the Work. Remove existing asphalt surface. Remove the former warehouse foundation elements comprised of reinforced concrete floor slab, pile caps, other footings, stem walls, retaining walls and all other concrete foundation elements. The wooden timber pilings shall remain in place and, where extending above the excavation subgrade, they shall be cut a minimum of 6 inches below that subgrade. Retain in place the project-north and project-west edges of the warehouse foundation until completion of the Phase 1 excavation of contaminated soil is complete as determined by Engineer. Remove all other aboveground and buried concrete structures (e.g., tank pads). Remove all ancillary metal components associated with the concrete foundations being removed. Remove all remnant structures from a pair of railroad spurs (metal rails, wooden railroad ties, and any underlying concrete). Load, transport, and properly recycle the removed inert debris (concrete, asphalt, and metal) at a facility permitted to recycle it. Dispose of the wooden railroad ties, and any other contaminated debris identified by Engineer, as Subtitle D material. As directed by the Engineer, excavate contaminated soil to depths generally less than 4 feet, but with localized depths as great as 7.5 feet below Existing Grade, and to achieve subgrade elevations where specified. Conduct the excavation of contaminated soil in three designated phases (Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3), with prioritization for completing Phase 1 excavation (including Engineer's performance monitoring) as expediently as possible. As directed by the Engineer, segregate the excavated contaminated soil into one of three waste streams: Class 2 soil, Class 3 soil, and Subtitle D soil each with specified requirements for landfill disposal. Contaminated Debris identified by Engineer shall also be disposed of at a Subtitle D landfill. Load, transport, and properly dispose each of the contaminated material waste streams at a landfill permitted to receive the material. Assist the Engineer with soil sampling in Phase 1 excavations and, based on testing results, excavate additional contaminated soils as directed by the Engineer. Remove inactive subsurface utilities to the extent necessary to complete the excavation of contaminated soils or as otherwise directed by Engineer. Cut, plug, remove, and dispose of buried pipes that are encountered during excavation. Throughout excavation, remove groundwater as necessary to allow excavation and handling of unsaturated soil and otherwise perform the Work. The Contractor is responsible for all dewatering efforts including providing and installing sumps, pumps, power source (e.g., electrical generators), treatment equipment, temporary storage, conveyance, and to operate the system without leakage. Treat the extracted groundwater, and any stormwater collecting within the stockpile area, to meet Project Water Quality Performance Standards specific to the water discharge method, and discharge the water by one of two methods: Convey it via water truck and discharge it to the Owner's pump station for the Aerated Stabilization Basin (ASB) located approximately 1,000 feet project-north of the Project Limits in accordance with the Owner's NPDES permit for that facility; or Discharge it to City of Bellingham storm drain via an existing buried stub[1]out near the project-northwest corner of the Project Limits in accordance with a NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit with Project[1]specific Administrative Order (CSGWP) obtained by Owner. Upon execution of the Contract, the Owner will conduct complete transfer of the CSWGP with Administrative Order to the Contractor who will then become solely responsible for compliance with all of its requirements. Backfill and compact excavations with a combination of imported uncontaminated aggregate and crushed rock, as specified depending on location. Each bid must be accompanied by a cashiers check, money order, or an original signed and stamped surety bid bond in an amount not less than five percent (5%) of the total bid, made payable to the Port of Bellingham.
