Fort Devens Exchange 1

1. Introduction

Massport is interested in an exchange with The Department of the Army. This involves an

exchange for property owned by the Army within Boston for Massport’s services to provide

selective work at Fort Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts. In order to understand the costs associated

with the selective work, STV and their consultant, VJ Associates, is providing an order of

magnitude estimate for the work based our understanding of the project. This understanding is

based on one site visit and on materials received from the Army.

On May 17, 2016 STV attended a site visit at Fort Devens with Massport. At that time the

Department of the Army indicated that they were interested in scoping the work associated with

a new Tactical Maintenance Equipment Facility (TEMF) on an existing concrete pad off Liberty

Street at the site. (see attached Meeting Minutes). A site photo with mark-ups was reviewed and

photographed (see attached site photo). Other work at the site primarily related to sidewalk

replacement, parking replacement, lighting and fencing is also part of the scope of work.

Subsequent to that site visit, information was forwarded to STV including a Project Data Sheet

and a blocking floor plan sketch of the facility (attached). Some information in those documents

supersedes the scoping information within the meeting minutes. The following assumptions are

the basis used to provide the attached cost estimate.

2. Basis of Memorandum

The general scope includes construction of a new 8,194 square foot, three bay TEMF. Primary

facilities include constructing three 32'x64' drive thru work bays, associated work areas and 5,687

3. Civil / Site Development

3.1 Site Description

The proposed site is bounded by Liberty and Lovell Streets of Fort Devens Reserve Forces

Training Area. The existing site grading slopes gently away from the existing stand-alone

slab/foundation. The south side of the slab/foundation sheds stormwater run-off to the parking lot

to the south and the north side of the slab/foundation directs stormwater to the north towards

Liberty Street. The site currently consists of a stand-alone slab/foundation, several trees, some

nuisance vegetation/growth, spoil piles, and areas covered with gravel. The proposed site work

includes construction of exterior improvements associated with construction of a new 8,194 S.F.,

three bay Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility (TEMF) for Equipment Concentration Site

(ECS) 65, such as fencing, paving, ADA compliant access ramps, sidewalks, lighting and other

utilities.

3.2 Site Preparation

Site preparation design shall include, but not be limited to clearing and grubbing, tree removal,

demolition of pavement, excavation, removal of spoil piles and fencing, and grading of the site to

obtain the desired elevations for site improvements, positive drainage, parking and vehicular

access to the maintenance bays along with other items as indicated below. The contractor shall

remove and dispose of all unsuitable material, organic material, unclassified rock, concrete, etc.

from the Site. Any spoil piles, excavated soils and asphalt materials removed from the site shall

be considered contaminated and as such will be disposed of at an asphalt batch plant. Site areas to

be cleared for improvements consist of approximately a 1 acre area to the south of Liberty Street.

Relocation of existing utilities is not anticipated.

Design considerations taken into account included ingress and egress at entrances to Building

3416(2) and Building 3415(1), sidewalk connections to roadways and parking areas; location of

storm water management improvements, landscaping features, security access points for delivery

vehicles and access to the service road. The measures taken to implement the design considerations

are discussed in the section below. The Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Facilities Criteria

(UFC) standards shall be implemented.


3.3 Site Grading

In support of site design progress, a topographic detailed survey will be needed to reflect the

current field conditions and identify possible site constraints. This cost is included as a separate

soft cost to the estimate. Grading will meet 1-5% (min-max) grading requirements, and provide

positive drainage to existing and proposed storm drain features and pedestrian and vehicular access

to the site.

3.4 Storm Water Management

A draft Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be prepared during the design phase

in accordance with EPA’s NPDES program. According to UFC 4-171-05 (3-2.1.2.4.3). If the site

does not require an NPDES permit, a SWPPP is still required for Army Reserve Projects. The

SWPPP requirements include a plan detailing the steps and measures to ensure pollution

prevention during and after construction; obtaining permits from local, state and federal agencies,

when required; implementation of soil erosion measures during construction, as detailed in the

plan; conducting weekly inspections and reporting on the condition and effectiveness of pollution

prevention controls; and design and implementation of permanent post-construction soil erosion

measures, such as permanent soil stabilization and seeding, and underground structures. Costs for

these plans are included in the separate soft cost estimate.

3.4.1 Storm Runoff Collection System

The runoff collection system will consist of catch basins with associated drain pipes, manholes

and oil water separators that will be sized to convey storm water generated by a 10- year storm

event. It is assumed that the existing system to which the proposed will be connected to is

adequately sized to support the proposed site development. New manholes shall be provided at

all changes in pipe direction, inlets, grade or elevation, and where pipe lengths exceed 250 linear

feet, per good engineering practice and industry standard. Manhole access covers shall be water-

tight covers, 36" diameter, and rated for H-20 loading when sited in vehicular traffic areas.

It is understood from REC (Project No. CAR 16-ECS65) that the Privately Owned Vehicles (POV)

parking areas and Military Equipment Parking (MEP) located adjacent to Buildings 3415 and 3416

are serviced by a large, existing permitted storm water collection system that includes catch basins,

piping, oil water separators, grit particle separators, a large underground infiltration basin, and an

outfall to the Nashua River.

Storm water quality and quantity will be addressed in accordance with Massachusetts Storm water

standards. Additionally, the detention system shall meet the requirements of UFC 4-171-05. The

design shall implement Low Impact Development (LID) measures such as bio-retention plantings.

3.5 Pavement

Pavement design shall be completed in accordance with MassDOT standards. It is anticipated that

a geotechnical investigation and report will be required for the design of all pavements, so a cost

for these is included in this report’s estimate.


3.5.1 Roads

The project includes the partial reconstruction of Liberty Street. Roadway widening of the east

end of Liberty Street at the intersection of Lovell Street is required to accommodate vehicle turning

movements to/from the new TEMF located east of Building 3416.

3.5.2 Asphalt Pavement

Asphalt pavement is proposed for about 3,000 SY for POV parking area to the east of Building

3412. Other areas of asphalt pavement include 8,500 SY of parking area north of Building 3415,

200 SY for 10 additional POV spaces west of Gorgas Street, and 6,000 SY of areas east of Building

3416, assumed to be used as MEP parking, specific purposes unknown at this time. It is assumed

that full depth pavement is required for the area surrounding the proposed TEMF building. The

area to the north of Building 3415 shall be cold planed and milled and a top course of asphalt will

be applied.

3.5.3 Pavement Marking

Pavement marking color, type and width shall be in accordance with the 2009 Manual of Uniform

Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), with revisions 1 and 2, May 2012, with Massachusetts

amendments. Pavement marking of roadways, driveways and parking areas shall match those

found in existing and adjacent areas.

3.5.4 Signage

Regulatory and directional signs shall comply with the 2009 MUTCD, with revisions 1 and 2, May

2012 with Massachusetts amendments.

3.5.5 Pavement Grade

Pavement shall be graded such that there is positive drainage away from the building and in

accordance with UFC-4-171-05 Site Planning and Design.

3.5.6 Sidewalk and Concrete Aprons

The work consists of replacing 500 LF of sidewalks around Building 3416 due to deteriorating

concrete. A 5’x 5’ concrete pad is proposed at three building doorway locations, two at the

entrances of Building 3416 and one at the entrance of ECS #65 Building 3415. Sidewalks are 10’

wide, 4 inches thick minimum and shall be Portland cement concrete pavement. Provide concrete

in accordance with the applicable standard mix of the MassDOT for a minimum compressive

strength of 3500 PSI at 28 days. About 200 LF of sidewalk shall be removed north of Building

3415, and to northwest side of Building 3416 prior to repaving.

3.5.7 Loading Ramp

A bi-level loading ramp (load heights of 36” and 48”) shall be constructed to the west of Building

3416, within the existing POV parking area. The ramp is 62 FT long and 30 FT wide. It is indicated

that the ramp has 5 bollards associated with it and 2 swing arm gates.


3.6 Curbing

Curbing is proposed along the perimeter of the proposed TEMF building site south of Liberty

Street to direct stormwater runoff from the site towards existing and proposed catch basins. Precast

cement concrete curbs are proposed in accordance with UFC 4-171-05 (3-2.3.11.3).

3.7 Fencing and Gates

The site is surrounded by security fence which is typically 8’ high with barbed wires. The work

consists of replacing or upgrading about 6,000 LF of fencing. Two electric sliding vehicle gates

are proposed, one that provides access to the site from Gorgas Street and the other from Lovell

Street, adjacent to the POV parking area. Man-gates are provided for pedestrian access next to

each of the sliding vehicle gates. Each gate will have a security camera, Common Access Card

and remote access control. The remote control access will feed back to both Building 3415 (Room

105) and Building 3413 (Room 222).

The work also includes removal of approximately 200 LF of existing fencing in the POV parking

area and constructing and upgrading 150 LF of existing fencing. About 500 LF of existing fencing

will also be removed from the area west of Building 3416.

3.8 Permits

According to the Record of Environmental Concerns (REC) prepared for the project site, storm

water from the site discharges to the Nashua River, hence the Wetlands Protection Act applies,

even though the proposed project is further than 100 feet from wetlands.

It is assumed that a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review, in accordance with 40

CFR 1508 with full environmental assessment of the project, will be required. These costs are

included in the separate soft cost estimate.

3.9 Civil Assumptions

1. Topographic detail survey is required.

2. Pervious pavement is not proposed since it is restricted to areas with lighter wheel loads

and/or limited traffic according to UFC 4-171-05 (3-2.3.6.4).

3. Land clearing areas are assumed to be 1 acre south of Liberty Street.

4. It is anticipated that Hazardous Materials will be encountered during excavation work and

shall be permitted, handled and disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal

regulations.

5. According to UFC 4-171-05 (3-2.1-2.5.5), underground infiltration / storage basins are

least preferable. It is assumed that underground infiltration storage is acceptable for the

storage of excess runoff from the paved parking areas. Since REC identifies existing

underground infiltration storage on site, we have proposed a similar storage system for

estimating purposes.

6. Preparation of a complete Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) and SWPPP is

required due to change in stormwater controls on site.

7. NEPA review process with full environmental assessment will need to be completed as

part of the design.


8. Given the minimal increase in impervious area, the MEPA review process with submission

of Environmental Notification Form (ENF) is not anticipated to be completed as part of

the design.

9. Curbs and gutters are required south of Liberty Street in the area of the proposed TEMF

building to capture and redirect run-off towards catch basins.

10. It is assumed that NPDES permit is required and SWPPP and stormwater management

plan will be prepared as part of NPDES program by the design team.
