The Work for the Jean Sweeney Open Space Park, Phase A, Project (aka JSOSP) includes the following:
Furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, services, testing, permits, temporary controls and construction facilities, and all general conditions, general requirements and incidentals required to complete the Jean Sweeney Open Space Park, Phase A, Project (aka JSOSP) as generally described below:
1. PHASE A: COMMUNITY CENTER
Clearing and grubbing, demolition and removal or recycling, of ground cover, wood, metal, asphalt, concrete, pipe, roots, rocks, vegetation, miscellaneous organic or non-organic materials, weeds, stumps, logs, soil mounds, including existing structures (on or below grade). In addition, the Contractor will encounter on site existing railroad ties and will be responsible for disposing of them offsite in an appropriate land fill facility – per the Removal Action Workplan. The Contractor shall assume a minimum of 100 tons of railroad ties will need to be disposed of.
The Contractor should be aware of – and familiar with - the project’s Removal Action Workplan, Appendix G - attached as a reference document. Its intent is to identify known areas of soil contamination, debris piles and railroad ties and subsequent remediation, removal and/or off-haul of same. The RAW also identifies soil management practices and cleanup goals for soil contamination, if and when encountered. When the Jean Sweeney Open Space Park (JSOSP) project begins construction, the identified areas of soil contamination and the debris piles are expected to have already been removed, off-hauled and/or remediated. Most if not all of the contaminated soil will have already been encapsulated, remediated, or off hauled - under the work scope of the Cross Alameda Trail project. During construction of the JSOSP there is little expectation of encountering any additional soil contamination. However, there is a possibility, and if physical or visual evidence of soil contamination is observed during excavation or construction work, the Contractor is to notify the City and be prepared to implement soil management practices as identified in this RAW. As noted above however, the JSOSP Contractor will be responsible for removal (i.e.; off-hauling), profiling and disposal of the Railroad ties in the JSOSP scope of work, and according to the RAW.
Construction, installation of new utilities and infrastructure, including removal, additions or modifications to existing systems. New or existing infrastructure work includes site and building lighting and electrical, domestic, fire and irrigation water, storm drainage and sewer utilities, bioswales, bioretention or detention areas and basins, drainage structures, striping and signage for paving, pathways and parking lots, and bicycle parking facilities.
Construction, installation of new site improvements, features, facilities and amenities including landscaping, planting and irrigation, natural and artificial playgrounds and play structures, paved and non-paved walking, jogging and bicycle trails or pathways, circulation striping and signage, bicycle racks, trash enclosures and receptacles, drinking fountains, pathway lighting, parking lots, driveways, pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular access features, site security elements, paved, natural or otherwise surfaced or landscaped plazas, pre-manufactured picnic pavilion, recreation, picnic and play areas, trellises, structures and buildings including site walls, retaining walls, steps and stairs, park benches, playground equipment, barbecues, fences, gates, prefabricated restroom and maintenance buildings, park entry features, interpretive signage and site furnishings.
1A. BID ALTERNATE A: BULK LOOSE MATERIAL STORAGE

1B. BID ALTERNATE B: DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE

1D. BID ALTERNATE D: CONTAMINATED SOIL REMEDIATION, OFF HAUL, DISPOSAL, CLASS 2 LANDFILL
(The Bidders / Contractors shall review the Removal Action Workplan associated with this site. Although not expected, it is possible that material (soils, debris, etc.) requiring disposal at a Class 2 landfill will be encountered during demolition, excavation or grading activities associated with the project. The Bidders / Contractors shall assume 300 cubic yards of this material will be encountered and will require proper remediation, off-haul and/or disposal.)
Bidders to Note:
This JSOSP project is immediately adjacent to, and preceded by, the first phase of the Cross Alameda Trail Project (aka CAT) which started construction on July 12, 2017. It is approximately a 6-month long project for the construction of a Class 1 bike lane, walking path, and jogging trail stretching between Webster Street (to the west) and Sherman Street (to the east) within City owned parcels located directly south of the office park development / campus along the south side of Atlantic Avenue. The CAT scope of work includes the early completion (i.e.; demolition, grading, construction, partial landscaping and irrigation, utilities, hazardous soils excavation and/or mitigation, etc.) of the eastern portion of the CAT site - immediately adjacent to AND within the JSOSP Phase A – so as to leave this portion of the site finished, clean and clear for the Jean Sweeney Open Space Park (JSOSP) Phase A, project construction. The work for the early completion of this portion of the CAT project is expected to be completed within forty (40) working days following the CAT Contractor’s Notice to Proceed (7/12/17). It will be the duty of the prospective bidders for the JSOSP to incorporate into their bids and schedules the necessary coordination - including but not limited to site access, security and staging – with the General Contractor who is awarded construction of the CAT project.
