Description

MAINTENANCE ACTIVITES CLOSED LANDFILL 13 FORT BENNING, GEORGIA DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES TASK 1 - Maintenance Activities: Background Information. Closed Landfill 13 was a sanitary landfill used for disposal of all wastes generated on Fort Benning. The facility was active between 1965 and 1983. The site covers approximately 60 acres of actual fill material. The fill zones generally lie astride and along the natural ridge at the site, with some wastes spilling over the slopes. The site has been capped with a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C approved cap. The cap consists of a 24 inch thick layer of compacted soil over the wastes, an impermeable membrane liner (40 mil HDPE), a synthetic clay liner, supporting geonet and drainage materials, and a final cover of 24 inches of soil. The cap extends to the bottom of the slopes on all sides of the natural ridge. Side slopes vary from 3H: IV to IH: IV. The total area covered by the capping materials is approximately 65 acres. The site is surrounded on all sides by chain-link fencing. The total fenced area of the site is approximately 90 acres. The site has numerous methane vents, groundwater monitoring wells, surface water collectors, drains, drain cleanouts, and drainage ditches. All drainage ditches are lined with stone riprap along the slopes of the landfill, for erosion prevention. Storm flow catchment basins exist on the southeast, southwest, and northern sides of the site, outside the cap but within the fenced area. The entire site is grassed, except for existing, ongoing erosion at several locations. Re-seeding/re-grassing repairs have been instituted under other contracts for this site. General Requirements and Standards: Management of Work. The Contractor shall furnish an experienced and qualified site manager, supervisor, or foreman to oversee all work under this contract. The site manager will have written authority from the Contractor to direct all work. The Contractor shall submit the experience and qualifications of the proposed site manager to the Government for review and approval. The individual will have a minimum of 3 years experience in the types of maintenance activity listed under this contract. In addition, at least one year of supervisory experience is required. The site manager must also demonstrate a relevant knowledge of sanitary landfill hazards and potential problems, which could be encountered while conducting the maintenance activities on such sites. In lieu of demonstrated knowledge about sanitary landfills, the site manager may be currently certified as having completed the 40-hour safety training specified under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations at 29 CFR 1910.120, along with a current 8-hour annual refresher, and OSHA required supervisory training under 29 CFR 1910.120. The Contractor’s site manager shall notify the Government at least two weeks in advance of conducting any site inspection or beginning any cycle of maintenance. The site manager shall contact the Government at the beginning of each maintenance cycle in order to conduct a site walkover/inspection and set work schedules. The Government shall accompany the site manager on the site walkover/inspection at the beginning of each maintenance cycle. The site manager shall then prepare and submit to the Government any changes to schedules, or requirements for maintenance not covered under the scope of services included under the contract. The site manager shall accompany the Government on a post-work inspection to verify completion of all work items for each cycle of maintenance. Requirements for maintenance not covered under the scope of services under this contract shall not be conducted without the prior approval of the Contracting Officer and modification to the contract. The Contractor’s site manager shall be onsite during all maintenance activity when direct supervision of employees is necessary to ensure compliance with the services required by this contract. The site manager shall be capable of being in direct contact, through radio or telephone, with site workers at all other times such that site workers can receive instructions without undue delays to the work. The site manager shall furnish the Government a telephone number at which they may be contacted during daily work hours. Scope of Effort.
