WSMR BRIDGE REPAIR RR7B0003

This federal Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for repairing Bridge RR7B0003 located on Route 7 at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico. The primary objective is to repair a deteriorating concrete box culvert drainage structure experiencing cracking, spalling, and delamination across its cell walls, headwall, wingwalls, and apron. The project also entails backfilling, compacting, and regrading eroded areas, installing a wire-tied riprap blanket, adding a new concrete barrier wall, and installing a metal guardrail system alongside military load and object marker signage. The overall period of performance is capped at 120 calendar days, consisting of a 30-day administrative pre-construction phase followed by a 90-day physical construction window. The contractor is responsible for providing key personnel, including a Project Manager, Superintendent, and a dual Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) / Quality Control Manager (QCM). The SOW mandates strict compliance with environmental and safety standards, requiring the contractor to secure necessary permits, manage waste disposal off-site, implement dust and water pollution controls, and protect local wildlife and archeological resources. Contractors must submit comprehensive Site Specific Safety Plans (Accident Prevention Plans), Activity Hazard Analyses, and Quality Control Plans. Additionally, all onsite personnel must complete mandatory training, including Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) safety, prior to receiving installation access.
