NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR - PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project consists of temporary 52-foot long high-level boarding platforms and associated improvements and upgrades to the existing railroad station located at 41 Central Street in Windsor, Connecticut as shown and described in the Contract. The project will construct new 52-foot long high-level boarding platforms with stair and ramp access. The platforms will include guardrails, premanufactured shelters, bench seating, blue light phones, passenger information display signs and variable instant messaging signs. The platform assemblies will consist of pile-supported, Structural Reinforced Modular Polymer Composite Deck and Surface-Applied Panels on steel beams supporting the platform. An integral electric snow-melt system will be incorporated into the Structural Reinforced Modular Polymer Composite Deck and Surface-Applied Panels and run back to a new centralized utility building housing the power, lighting, controls and telecommunications equipment. Platform, ramp and stair steel guardrails will be shop-fabricated, and shop painted with a high-performance coating system. The west side (Track 1) proposed construction is integrated into recent station improvements including a new ADA ramp and HC parking area. The project includes construction of a new cast-in-place concrete ramp leading to the platform and a new sloping concrete and fiberglass grating sidewalk connecting the existing HC parking area to the landing of the ADA ramp. In addition, the construction includes a new wheelchair lift pad and modifications to the existing one to serve as a storm drainage structure and support for the fiberglass grating spanning over top. The east side (Track 2) proposed construction is supported on the recently built low-level platform. The construction includes another high-level Structural Reinforced Modular Polymer Composite Deck and Surface-Applied Panel platform, as well as Reinforced Modular Polymer Composite ramp and stair connecting the platform to the existing low-level boarding platform. The steel beams supporting the light weight Structural Reinforced Modular Polymer Composite Deck and Surface-Applied Panel platform transfer the load to the foundation walls of the low-level platform. Lighting, fire alarms and CCTV security cameras are included on both platforms and in the utility building. A complete package of wayfinding, regulatory, and informational signs are also included as part of the overall station package. Variable message signs and PA systems are also included. Site work associated with the upgraded facility consists of excavation and minor grading work to accommodate the station components (sidewalk, ramp, utility building, site lighting and signage).

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR

Temporary at-grade crossings across any tracks WILL NOT be permitted. The Contractor shall provide a minimum of 30 calendar days advance notice for the scheduling of any work to be performed by AMTRAK forces. All work involving rail, ties, overhead electrification, and other track components on active tracks, unless specifically designated otherwise within the Contract, will be performed by AMTRAK employees. The Contractor may not remove abandoned track (out of service) unless given prior written approval from the Engineer and AMTRAK. Notes: 1. The hours shown for available foul time are the times the track(s) may be taken be out of

service for Contractor activities. However, it should be noted the identified blocks of available foul time above are subject to suspension or revocation due to, but not limited to, scheduled freight movements, late or delayed passenger trains, track maintenance activities, locomotive/coach dead head movements, track car movements, train equipment movements and emergency or unplanned activities. The Contractor shall understand that while freight movements are anticipated within blocks of available foul time identified above, these hours and days of availability are subject to change in the future. In addition, passenger train schedules are also subject to change, which may alter or shorten blocks of available foul time. Outside the blocks of available foul time identified above, the Contractor is not precluded from requesting foul time, however, the Contractor shall expect very limited durations based on current passenger train and freight movements.

2. Track outages will be considered as requests are submitted but not necessarily granted. While every effort will be made to accommodate the Project’s needs, track outages cannot be guaranteed. Track outages are dependent on many circumstances; including weather, availability of protective personnel, conflicts with other projects and unforeseen operating problems. Therefore, no claims may be made against AMTRAK for delays due to unavailability of track. Further, requests for track outages must identify Contractor activities that are deemed necessary for construction, not merely for the Contractor’s convenience. In the event a track outage is granted, the Contractor shall understand time needs to be allotted to AMTRAK to take the track out of service and return the track back into service within the duration of the outage.

3. Station area work shall be performed, and flag protection acquired, in accordance with AMTRAK safety procedures. The Contractor shall be made aware of weeks in which holidays occur or weeks abutting holidays may result in limited availability of railroad protective personnel. The Contractor shall plan and execute their work accordingly.

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR - TRACK MONITORING Application Track monitoring is required for construction work that could affect the stability of the track, or any earth disturbing construction activity that is within 50 feet of the centerline of the nearest track or construction work that is within the influence line of the track. Construction activities that typically trigger the need for track monitoring include exaction, dewatering, pile driving or pipe jacking. Examples of the types of projects in which track monitoring is required:

1. Underground pipe crossing by jacking or horizontal directional drilling. 2. Local excavation, such as for catenary structure foundation. 3. Excavation that is parallel to the track, such as construction of ditch or utility trench.

Purpose The purpose of track monitoring is to record railroad track data before and during construction. The data sets are compared to determine if the track has been affected by construction. If the track has been affected, that data can be used to reestablish the pre-construction conditions. Track monitoring is based on the Class of Track and on tolerances for alignment and surface found in Amtrak MW 1000 Limits and Specifications for Track Maintenance Subpart C – Track Geometry. Scope of Work Track monitoring includes:

1. Using surveying methods to establish locations (stations) for collection of track data. 2. Gathering and recording track data before construction starts. 3. Gathering and recording track data at pre-determined time intervals during

construction. 4. Comparing pre-construction and during-construction data to determine if differential

movement has occurred. 5. Reporting track monitoring data and comparison to Amtrak Construction Project

Manager, Assistant Division Engineer of Track and System Track. Amtrak responsibilities:

1. Prior to construction, Amtrak will provide the Class of Track and determine the number of stations where track data is to be measured.

2. During construction, Amtrak will analyze the data provided and determine the appropriate course of action.

30320-019

Rev. 5/3/19

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR

3. Amtrak will be represented by either the Amtrak Construction Project Manager, the Amtrak Assistant Division Engineer of Track or the Amtrak System Track Senior Manager.

Submittal for Amtrak Approval Design submittals are to be presented to Amtrak System Track for approval at least one month prior to construction. Proposed track monitoring plans must show either:

1. Where track monitoring points are to be located and the monitoring details or 2. A note on the construction plans stipulating that the Contractor must submit the locations

of track monitoring points and the monitoring details. Contract Surveyors must be licensed to work in the state in which the work is being performed and must be pre-approved by Amtrak Principal Engineer Surveys. Contractor ID card Credentials. For long-term monitoring, submit prism/target product date, proposed total station(s) location and data collection time intervals. Execution Safety: Work performed on track or close enough to foul a track must only be performed under the direction of qualified railroad personnel. Points Locations or Stations: Track monitoring points shall be established along the track and centered at the point where the work is closest to the track. Track alignment condition is checked by analyzing the uniformity over short distances on tangents and in curves. Uniformity at any point along the track is established by averaging the measured mid-chord offset values for nine (9) consecutive points centered on that point and which are spaced as follows:

Chord Length = 31 feet, Spacing = 7’-9” Chord Length = 62 feet, Spacing = 15’-6”

Datum and Accuracy: In accordance with Amtrak Survey Specification, summarized as follows. Horizontal – NAD 83 UTM 18N coordinates in survey feet. Vertical – NAVD 88. Horizontal and vertical accuracy 0.01 feet. Monitoring Intervals: Track monitoring measurements shall be observed and recorded prior to construction and then at the beginning and end of every shift of work. Points shall be measured,

31320-019

Rev. 5/3/19

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR

the measurements recorded, and the numbers compared with previous measurements. All points shall be measured each time monitoring occurs. Allowable deviations: If track is found to have moved either vertically or horizontally by more than one half of the Amtrak Maintenance limits as specified in Amtrak’s MW-1000 (and as shown in the table below) for the particular class of track involved, then all work shall cease immediately and the construction Contractor shall immediately notify the Amtrak Construction Project Manager, Assistant Division Engineer of Track or System Track Senior Manager. Work may not resume until the designated Amtrak Construction Project Manager has inspected the site and authorized work to restart. Track Maintenance: Deficiencies in track surface and alignment caused by construction activities will be corrected by Amtrak forces and billed to the construction project.

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR - ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS Environmental site investigations have been conducted that involved the sampling and laboratory analysis of soil collected from various locations and depths within the Project limits. The results of these investigations indicated the presence of detectable concentrations of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and pesticides in the soils within proposed construction areas in exceedance of Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) numeric criteria. The presence of these compounds at these concentrations will require the disposition of soils excavated from these areas to be restricted as described herein. Based on these findings, two (2) AOECs exist within the proposed Project limits. Material excavated from the AOECs that cannot be reused with the Project limits will require disposal at an approved treatment/disposal facility in accordance with Item No. 0202315A - Disposal of Controlled Materials. The DEEP groundwater classification beneath the site is GB. The Contractor is hereby notified that controlled materials requiring special management or disposal procedures will be encountered during various construction activities conducted within the Project limits. Therefore, the Contractor will be required to implement appropriate health and safety measures for all construction activities to be performed within the AOECs. These measures shall include, but are not limited to, air monitoring, engineering controls, personal protective equipment and decontamination, equipment decontamination and personnel training. WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS WHICH ADDRESS POTENTIAL AND/OR ACTUAL RISK OF EXPOSURE TO SITE SPECIFIC HAZARDS IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR. The Connecticut Department of Transportation, as Generator, will provide an authorized representative to sign all manifests and waste profile documentation required by disposal facilities for disposal of contaminated water and controlled materials. All suitable material excavated within the AOECs shall be utilized as fill/backfill within the AOECs in accordance with the following conditions: (1) such soil is deemed to be structurally suitable for use as fill by the Engineer; (2) such soil is not placed below the water table; 3) the DEEP groundwater classification of the area where the soil is to be reused as fill does not preclude said reuse; and (4) such soil is not placed in an area subject to erosion. The Sections which shall be reviewed by the Contractor include, but are not limited to, the following: Item No. 0101000A - Environmental Health and Safety Item No. 0101117A - Controlled Materials Handling

Item No. 0202315A - Disposal of Controlled Materials

44320-019

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR

The Contractor is alerted to the fact that a Department environmental consultant will be on site for excavation activities within the AOECs, to collect soil samples (if necessary), and to observe site conditions for the State. The WSA on the plans is to be used exclusively for temporary stockpiling of excavated materials from within the Project AOECs for determination of disposal classification. Information pertaining to the results of the environmental investigations discussed can be found in the documents listed below. The results contained in the environmental investigation reports listed below show levels of various contaminants that the Contractor may encounter during construction. Actual levels found during construction may vary and such variations will not be considered a change in condition provided the material can still be disposed as non-hazardous at one or more of the disposal facilities listed in Item No. 0202315A - Disposal of Controlled Materials. These documents shall be available for review electronically.
