DAMAGE DESCRIPTION CONTINUED:
The debris removal operation was complex; it involved several modes of transport and repetitive handling of debris material. it is
anticipated that the overall cost per ton for debris removal will be very high as a consequence of the continuing recovery of human
remains, and fire fighting and law enforcement activities slowing operations and causing work stoppages.
In September 2001, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the NY-NJ Port Authority's consultant, LERA, estimated the total debris field
in the 16-acre WTC complex to be 1.2 mIllion tons. A more recent estimate (January 2002) is closer to 1.5 million tons. This includes
the seven WTC buildings, the 5-acre plaza and the plaza basement.
SCOPE OF WORK (CONTINUED): This PW covers the additional four (4) payments provided to AMEC totaling $18,500,000.00.
On January 7, 2002, the DDC consolidated all debris removal activities under one CM, Bovis Lend Lease. Work performed from
September 11. 2001, through January 6, 2002, is referred to as Phase 1. New debris removal work performed after January 6, 2002, is
referred to as Phase 11. DDC and Tully are in the process of dosing out Phase I of their agreement by reconciling the payments
provided by DDC against the payment requisitions submitted by Tully. Tully has completed all debris removal work under Phase I of
the agreement; however, they will continue to incur costs associated with closeout work and will continue to submit requisitions detailing
the costs.
Since January 7, 2002, Tufty has maintained a reduced staff whose purpose is to fulfill all outstanding close out requirements, as
identified on the payment requisitions that have been submitted to DDC. Since January 7, Tully staff have met with DDC and FEMA
staff to perform an in-depth review of all documentation and to discuss any financial issues and exceptions germane to the
aforementioned dose out requirements.
After DDC approves the payment requisitions, FEMA will review the requisitions and will prepare a final Version of this PW to adjust
eligible costs. This may result in deobilgation of funds, depending on the accuracy of DDC's cost projections. FEMA will also review all
equipment purchased for this project to determine an eligible funding amount for the equipment. If equipment has residual value at the
completion of the project, FEMA may reduce the eligible amount for that equipment based on that residual value.
Following is a detailed scope of work completed by Tully or its subcontrectors/consultants during the period of 9111/01 through
1!8/02 (work performed after 1/8102. Phase 11, will be addressed later in this discussion).
Tully was tasked with removal of the concrete debris; steel debris; and other debris comprised of interior partitions, glass,
mechanical, electrical and miscellaneous from Buildings 2-WTC, 4-WTC and 5-WTC in Zone 1 of the World Trade Center Complex.
This debris was estimated at 308,800 tons for Buildkng 2; 87,800 tons for Building 4; and 71,700 tons for Buildng 5; and Included the
basement levels, mechanical areas, and aclacent streets. In addition to the work outlined above, Tully also performed some work on
private buildings on the perimeter of the WTC site. A list of these private buildings Is enclosed as an attachment. The mixture of
structural steel, concrete, and the lighter aluminum and shed metal facing material, made conversion of cubic yards to tons i ,
and the decision to use strictly tons for debris removal calculations was made.
AN resulting debris from the operation was transported by the CM. or a subcontractor to the CM. to locations designated by
the City of New York, but limited to Fresh Kills Landfill, Pier 25, Pier 6, the 59' Street Marine Transfer Station (MTS) and the Hamilton
Avenue MTS. Once the material arrived at these locations, it was placed in barges and transported across the to Fresh Kills Landfill.
At Pier 25 mixed debris and steel was transported from 9/11101-117/02. Pier 25 continues to be in operation/. At Pier 6 mixed debris
and steel was transported from 9(11/01-10126/01. After 10126101, only steel was transported from Pier 6. Operations at Pier 6 were
dosed on 2/18/02. At the 59's Street MTS mixed debris was transported from 9/11/01-11/7/51. Operations at 595' Street MTS were
dosed on 1117101. At the Hamilton Avenue MTS mixed debris was transported from 9!11/01-1/7102. Operations at Hamilton Avenue
MTS were dosed on 125/02. Once the debris was transferred to barges or the landfill site, the debris removal and transportation
portion of this Project Worksheet was completed.
Other than debris removal, the contractor's heavy equipment assisted in the search and rescue operations and crime scene
investigation In Zone 1 of the WTC site, as directed by the NYPD and FDNY. AN emergency services incurred by this contractor
(i.e., using heavy equipment to aid in search and rescue) was incidental to debris removal. The contractor employed equipment and
manpower as directed by the city of New York.
