Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Texarkana, Texas. Completed plans call for the construction of a 215,000-square-foot military facility.

A proposal on a Component Rebuild Shop to support the Combat, Supply, and Secondary Programs missions of Red River Army Depot (RRAD). This project will include a 215,000 square foot facility and provide adequate space, structural capacity, infrastructure, and environmental controls to support the Engine Disassembly/Rebuild Shop, Transmission Disassembly/Rebuild Shop, Machine Shop, Hydraulics Shop, Electrical Accessories Shop, Fire Bottle Shop, Axle Shop, Dynamometer Shop (Engine and Transmission Test Cells), Component Cleaning, Metal Finishing/Component Painting, Radiator Shop, and Composites Shop. This facility will consolidate component rebuild processes resulting in more efficient flow of materials and better process control. Addendum #1-#6 have been issued as of 3-17-2026. This project is required to provide a Component Rebuild Shop to support the Combat, Supply, and Secondary Programs missions of Red River Army Depot (RRAD). This project will include a 215,000 square foot facility and provide adequate space, structural capacity, infrastructure, and environmental controls to support the Engine Disassembly/Rebuild Shop, Transmission Disassembly/Rebuild Shop, Machine Shop, Hydraulics Shop, Electrical Accessories Shop, Fire Bottle Shop, Axle Shop, Dynamometer Shop (Engine and Transmission Test Cells), Component Cleaning, Metal Finishing/Component Painting, Radiator Shop, and Composites Shop. This facility will consolidate component rebuild processes resulting in more efficient flow of materials and better process control The work covered by this section includes the handling and control of asbestos containing materials and describes some of the resultant procedures and equipment required to protect workers, the environment and occupants of the building or area, or both, from contact with airborne asbestos fibers. The work also includes the disposal of any asbestos containing materials generated by the work. More specific operational procedures must be outlined in the Asbestos Hazard Abatement Plan called for elsewhere in this specification. The asbestos work includes the demolition and removal of multiple components of asbestos containing material as indicated in the design drawings and documented in a January 10th & 11th, 2022 Hazardous Material Assessment Report which is governed by 40 CFR 763. Under normal conditions non-friable or chemically bound materials containing asbestos would not be considered hazardous; however, this material may release airborne asbestos fibers during demolition and removal and therefore must be handled in accordance with the removal and disposal procedures as specified herein. Use the appropriate techniques in accordance with Federal and State law. The building will be evacuated during the asbestos abatement work. A competent person must supervise asbestos removal work as specified herein. Prior to the start of demolition or renovation of existing building structures, all items containing regulated materials shall be removed. They shall be salvaged and recycled to the maximum extent possible or incinerated. The abatement items and quantities shall be pre-determined by a regulated material survey from knowledge of manufacturing by a third pary contract that is independent of the abatement contractor. The list items to be surveyed is listed in Part 1.2 and Part 3.3. Final disposal of regulated materials in a landfill shall be in accordance with applicable Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies, and when all means of recycling and reuse are exhausted. There is no separate payment for abatement and associated tasks to be performed in this section. The Contracting Officer will furnish the Contractor, in the contract documents, an initial Microbial Assessment Survey with containment categories and remediation methods specified for each work area and material within the work area. a. The Contracting Officer's initial Microbial Assessment Survey specified below must be furnished and certified by a qualified assessor authorized by the Contracting Officer to do such work. The initial survey is included in the solicitation documents at the end of this specification section. b. Provide mold remediation work including the handling and control of mold contaminated materials and the resultant procedures and equipment required to protect workers, the environment and occupants of the building or area, or both, from contact with mold products and spores. The work also includes the disposal of any mold contaminated materials generated by the work. The mold removal work includes the demolition and removal of ceiling tile, plywood and drywall. Provide containment and engineering control techniques as outlined in this specification. All mold contaminated material removal work must be supervised by a microbial remediation supervisor as specified herein. c. No work in this specification section can be provided by any person, contractor, or contracting entity involved in the preparation of the contract documents of which this specification section is a part. d. The following microbial remediation specifications apply to the cleaning / removal and disposal of fungally-contaminated porous, semi-porous and non-porous surfaces within various types of structures. The level of containment and requirements for cleaning and remediation of materials will depend on the condition of the space and materials being remediated. e. Immediately after award of the contract, prepare a preliminary visual assessment report using the standard microbial assessment form (Appendix A) to document the differences in the pre-remediation condition of the work areas as compared to the government provided Microbial Assessment Survey.Coordinate inspection with contracting officer. Only address the differences between the pre-remediation condition of the work areas and the government provided Microbial Assessment Survey. If required to indicate the differences, include the HVAC systems inspection required elsewhere in this specification section. Submit this written pre-remediation condition report to the Contracting Officer for approval and instructions to proceed. f. After approval of the preliminary visual assessment report and having instructions from the Contracting Officer to proceed, prepare a microbial remediation plan for approval by the Contractor's Certified Industrial Hygienist. Include an assessment of the risk for people occupying areas adjoining the remediation area while remediation work is occurring in the microbial remediation plan . Upon the Contractor's CIH approval of the plan, submit the plan to the Contracting Officer for approval. g. The Contractor's CIH or IH must monitor the site on a daily basis while remediation work is in progress, identifying work and work practices that are not in compliance with the approved microbial remediation plan, and performing all inspections required by this specification. The Contracting Officer may require the removal of any individual for non-compliance with quality requirements specified in the contract. h. This specification section includes the protocol regarding proper disposal of the removed building material components from within the work site. i. Use proper cleaning procedures, engineering controls, and apply best management practices to remove microbial growth and spore fallout from all surfaces and building materials to minimize the further release of microbial spores. Address semi-porous and nonporous surfaces within the facility in each cleaning phase of the project. Damp wipe and HEPA vacuum all surfaces, at a minimum. Remove and dispose of porous building materials that are supporting microbial growth. Wire mesh partitions must be all wire type , heavy duty for extra heavy industrial use. Provide partitions complete with fasteners, capping bars, adjustable floor sockets, bracing, doors, service windows, hardware, and other items necessary for a complete, useable, and rigid installation.
