perimeter wall, rainwater catchment system) facilities required per the contract.
The contract was later terminated for unknown reasons. Since then, the classrooms
and admin buildings have been locked and were never used. The intent of this
project is to complete the unfinished construction work of NAVFAC’s project and
turn-over finished and operational School facilities to the local community.
The project includes the following general items of work, detailed requirements
are contained elsewhere in this Statement of Work:
a. Clear and grub vegetation in the school complex
b. Test the operability of water lines
c. Connect the water line to the sinks
d. Provide two sinks; one in the male and female VIP latrine
e. New gate at entrance
f. Replace the failed wall portions at the VIP latrines
g. Demolish the old classroom building
h. Inspect roof for water leaks and repair roof as required
i. Replace roof draining system
j. Close off gaps in roof at truss penetrations
k. Patch and repair plaster walls
l. Replace door hardware
m. Replace broken window glazing
n. Raise the existing perimeter wall by 1 meter
o. Provide a new Photo-Voltaic system

Engineer, may be used on the project site where fill is required. Unsatisfactory
material, and surplus excavated material not required for fill, must be disposed
of offsite, and is the responsibility of the Contractor. Borrow material may be
required for construction from sources off site. Borrow materials are to be free
of hazardous materials and contaminants. Any soil brought in from off-site sources
must be certified clean by the off-site borrow source or by on-site inspection.
2.9.4 FILL AND BACKFILL COMPACTION

tests on all lifts at a frequency of 1 test per 40 square meters for foundations,
and 1 test per lift of subsurface structure (latrine foundations, drywell pit
vault, etc.) backfill. Round up to nearest whole number (i.e., a 25 square meter
foundation requires one test). The location of all tests must be selected by the
Contractor’s geotechnical engineer, and copies of all test results must be

slope away from all exterior edges with a minimum slope of 2% for the first
2 meters.
c. Finished grades must not create stagnating water or ponding anywhere on the
project site, nor create ponding on adjacent properties.
Demolish building and match grade to site grading plan. Site grading around the
buildings must meet Host Nation accessibility guidelines. The Contractor must
limit proposed landscape slopes to a maximum 2H:1V, which require non-erodible
surface (i.e., rock, shrubs with mulch).
2.10 UTILITIES
This section applies to all project utilities located outside the school and admin

coordination of any work to be performed by the utility owner. Choice of materials
and products for utility installation must be coordinated with the utility owner
(customer or third party) to ensure proper integration and compliance with
existing systems and allow for easy maintenance and repair of the utilities in the
future.

with web member arrangement such that members are symmetrically loaded in the
plane of the truss and sloped to achieve the required roof pitch. See Section 3-
ARCHITECTURAL of this document for insulation, roof covering, and other
architectural related roof elements. The roof must be sloped in accordance with
the Architectural Section of this document and metal framing members must be
painted or factory finished with a corrosion resistant coating that will last the

foundation, then the contractor may increase the height of the wall. The existing
chain link portion of the wall will be removed for the addition. If analysis shows
that the height of the wall may not be increased, then the wall will not be
modified.
Strengthen the perimeter wall as required to support the additional load of the
swing gate.
